Which is particularly interesting because that should be a visibly obvious difference in crowd size, and yet I don't see anything in any mainstream media outlets commenting on how laughably small the crowd is. The media really do protect Trump whether they acknowledge that or not. Also I would bet that if Clinton had won they'd sure be comparing crowd size to Obama.
The media were complicit in trying to make this a horse race, for page views. Why would the want to seem biased by holding him to the usual standards now?
But they also worried that the tanks, which often weigh over 100,000 pounds, would destroy the roads.
So? The Republicans are in control of the federal government, this would just be the first of many "Fuck you's!" the GOP will have for the District over at least the next two years.
So seems like there's protests in Dayton. And, amazingly, Troy, which has only 13,000 people to begin with and is quite heavily right-wing. People are pissed.
I love how it's all over the news that he's saying that his is the first inaugural concert at the Lincoln Memorial, when basically every president going back 20 years had held an inaug concert there.
He's going to blurt un-fact-checked nonsense every day for the entire six months of his presidency and then get steamed when people mock him for it.
This from Twitter:
Barack Obama Inaugural Concert Attendance: 400,000
Donald Trump Inaugural Concert Attendance: 10,000

400,000 people is like a Nürnberg rally. Wow.
I don't know if MSNBC can be considered MSM, but Maddow and Hayes both pointed out Trump's mendacity.

Guess which one will appear on cinder blocks!
Sad!
I guess we should have pix of past inaugurals on hand when they try to claim a big crowd with an old pic?

Not sad!
Happy? Hopey?
Every five minutes at the concert:
And I'm proud to be an American~
Kid Glass reports:
Bus parking for the protest on Saturday outnumbers inauguration bus parking by about 6 to 1.
Maybe 9 to 1?
Ms. Radio got the Water Taxi's from Alexandria booked up. On Friday, they are mostly half full.

THAT. Honestly, I think that right-wing people are going to start getting mad and start protesting and that is what will tip the scale.

Prediction: Most everything in his presidency will be subject to equally hilarious (or horrible) comparisons.
I have to agree with you on that, but I'd just like to stay focused on the stuff that will eventually get him the fuck out of there.
You know the world is upside down when Three Doors Down has 10,000 people at a concert.
All these people who voted for him, so few summoned the enthusiasm to make the trip to DC for his inauguration.
All the people who voted for Obama: Hundreds of thousands found a way to make the trip to DC for his inauguration.
It's possible that the Trump voter enthusiasm may wane in the near future.

Les Moonves only claimed that Trump would be good for CBS's ratings, not for his own.
Reminder if you are on Twitter: Tomorrow, noon: unfollow POTUS, FLOTUS and VP. Then go back to sleep.

"My inauguration attendance surpassed any Mud Hens home game by over 20%!"
Could this be the first time there will be more protesters/riot police than celebrants?
Hey, why you hating' on the kazoo's? 3 Doors Down is way worse!
And his term will end abruptly at six months because he'll respond to his mockers with Minutemen.
Having been to a Mud Hens game, this joke may actually be too nice to Trump.

I mean, Dayton Dragons or GTFO. Amirite?
Considering their play last year, the players chose GTFO.
Not their best year?
Worst year in Midwest League history. By any team.
"It was a rebuilding year"
