Yeah. In the old days, you would get obfuscation. Now we will just get
bald face lies.

There are not official records for inaugurations for crowd sizes. They

That said, each area of the National Mall is pretty well known to hold
a certain number of people. It's easier when you can count the lawn
squares.
President Trump's inaguration crowd was absent in a lot of squares,
which either means the previous inaguration counts were way too low,
or that this count was estimated far too high. Either way, it's still
a blatant lie that more people were there.
It's not a big deal that less people were there, it's a big deal that
there is irrefutable evidence that dumps the white house press
secretary's narrative on its face.
This is a sign of things to come, and it is terrifying.

It amazes me that an adult at the top of the political pyramid is
so immature to get butt hurt over the size of crowd that showed up.
Pretty sure D.C. is something like 80% black folk. Having the
first black president is surely something to get stoked about if
you are black, and if you live there, why not make the effort to
go see the show. I wonder if there are crowd size records for all
the inaugurations.
I watched the young pope first two episodes. This reminds me of
the second episode where the pope gets pissed because someone hit
in a laser pointer.

Im pretty confident the next few days is setting the stage to
effectively shutting down "media access". Im all for it in the
current environment. Between press releases, Publicly accessible
data, FOIA responses, live streamed events, and one on one
interviews (and yes...twitter) the press really is the dialup
internet method of getting information. We know more in real time
then the press could ever package up and present. The current
mindset of media in press conferences is that of militants (both
sides of the media isle) and there is zero professionalism from
either one. Neither really gives a damn what the answer is
anyway, theyre going to report whatever their preconceived
response was either way.
Question: Did we send B52 Bombers to hit an ISIS target?
Answer: Yes
CNN under Obama: Obama authorizes successful airstrike removing
100 ISIS fighters in final days of his presidency. This act
ensures that those who would commit terror will be addressed
accordingly, even during the transition of power.
Breitbart under Obama: Obama, the snake furthers military
conflict day before leaving office, leaving all Americans at risk
during a tumultuous time of transition. Kills 100, ensuring a
retaliatory response.
Had the same attack been authorized today:
CNN under Trump: MILITARY FIASCO: Trump bombs random targets. Top
military officials, speaking on condition of anonymity, refuse to
verify there were no civilian casualties, at least 100 confirmed
dead. War crime charges possible?
Breitbart under Trump: God Emperor Trump authorized the removal
of 100 ISIS top leaders in his first act as Commander in Chief.
Rumors of ISIS surrender. Barack Obama potentially one of the
dead operatives.

I'm all for it. I think that everyone is probably just
impressed by the first white house press briefing and the
remarks at Langley. What an amazing public speaker this one
is. Have you ever had a friend or friend's uncle or something
who did too much meth? You know how they start out with one
sentence and then before you know it they have told fifteen
other stories before they ever get to the point...if they
ever do??? We have four years of that to look forward to.
Just watch the full speech at the CIA, you will see what I
mean. Or don't....save yourself the pain.
