Wow. Lots of empty seats at the parade.

Entire bleachers empty.

Who voted for this guy?

Trump supporters have jobs.

You're the type of person who watches an inaugural parade at 5PM just to make fun of the other side.

I thought I saw Dan Quayle.

At least the "protests" got them a front page picture.

I was watching tv 9&10 traverse city live on the inner web. The reporter was interviewing two people in front of the WH. One was holding a sign that said "Fuck Trump". She didn't see it and the camera was a fixed camera.

Her question? are you two excited?

200 protesters will get scads of air time because the networks need that narrative.

Im sure there won't be anybody there tomorrow either Goose.

Did I mention tomorrow? Oh I guess not, so once again someone "adding" to my words.

I'd guess there will be more protesters tomorrow but the number that showed today was far below what was projected.

Is t the women's march tomorrow? Can call it a protest ? if Trump doesn't degrade women then he will be for their March. And I don't believe he degrades women he just grabs them by their pussy

FWIW My mom was asked which do you want to attend the speech or the parade? Security and time wont allow for both. Everyone she knew there picked the speech. I dont know how that relates to other inaugurations but thats fact for this one.

And what does that have to do with this? You drop in, drop shit on me then leave. Somehow you think that's a mic drop? There were very few protests during Obama's inauguration. It's common that there are some but much more than that was predicted for today and it didn't happen. That should provide a little context for your ignorance of my point.

They don't?

While it's fun to compare today's crowd to the crowd at the historic 2009 inauguration - historically I think it'll end up 3rd or 4th. Most likely behind OBama I & II and Clinton I.

Barack Obama, 2013: 1 million
Barack Obama, 2009: 1.8 million (generally considered a record for people on the National Mall)
George W. Bush, 2005: 400,000
George W. Bush, 2001: 300,000
Bill Clinton, 1997: 250,000
Bill Clinton, 1993: 800,000
George H.W. Bush, 1989: 300,000
Ronald Reagan, 1985: 140,000 tickets sold, but record cold moved the swearing-in ceremony indoors
Ronald Reagan, 1981: 10,000

Enough people in the right states to win the Electoral College vote and that's what counts.

Lots of empty seats for two reasons:
Our country elected another over 50 white male. That's happened a lot.

The weather was less than ideal.

That's why he won - signed Yogi

Goose worships the ground Trump walks on.

Goose must be USMC the way he fawns over General Mattis like a a loyal jarhead.

Or just maybe Goose admires Trump. They guy who accepted a Purple Heart from a supporter who'd earned it and said "I always wanted one of these". But Trump got himself a medical deferment so he never had to serve.

Man is this guy out and out lying or are we all nuts? If he's lying at what point do we trust him?

In a pair of angry public appearances on Saturday, Mr. Trump and his White House press secretary, Sean Spicer, excoriated the news media for what they said were deliberate efforts to understate the number of people who had gathered on the National Mall.

He claimed that Mr. Trump had drawn “the largest inaugural crowd ever,” but quickly acknowledged that there were “no numbers” to confirm it, noting that the Park Service does not issue crowd estimates.

WTF is there to gain by saying this at this point?

Whining about the media seems to be a trend. Maybe there's a generalization you can make about millions of people. I think that's how it works.

Is that Ted Cruz I see up there making a speech?

Obviously Trump is a very popular president so I don't get why his minions post this stuff? Rhetorical, they do it because they need to.

That's pretty good. Too bad T-Rump is too thin-skinned to think that's funny. He only thinks about himself and that's why he's so bent out of shape about the truth, which doesn't put his inauguration in tbe most favorable light when compared to previous events.

The fact that Goose is still needing to bring up Hillary Clinton shows the fear and loathing that still exists.

If Trump gets unwound about a freakin' crowd count, what the hell is he going to do when the properties that bear his name are ever targeted by militants from any of the countries on his list.

Its going to get uglier if Trump can't leave the petty bs to Kellyanne Conway.

PS
Goose, Clinton lost. Everyone knows she lost. The only guy all wound up because of the way he won is Trump himself. He's your boy. He's going to push to end abortion.

You got quite the package with your boy. Anti-environment. Picking a fight with one of our largest trading partners, going after non-Christian immigrants and thumbing his nose towards China while kissing Putin's ass. But he'llget rid of abortion.
