"Alternative facts"

[Ibanez]

How well attended an inauguration or a rally, or protest was is a news worthy item.

It probably wouldn't have been much of a story.

But, the Press Secretary used his first press conference to go on a rant about the attendance and calling it "the largest in history."

They wanted to make it a story for some reason.

Exactly. Spicer (that's his name right?) seemed like he was forced to discuss it. This dumpster fire of an administration is already making my head hurt.

So you are saying the left side of the Trump inauguration picture (only side showing in your photo) is almost equal to the right side of of the picture of the Trump inauguration?

I'm saying if there's a difference between the photo you posted and the one I did... there isn't much.





Here's even more perspective from 2009.





It's not close, dobie.

My bad for citing Fox News.

http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2017/01 ... trump.html

I knew it was FNC. And I knew you intentionally didn't mention the source in your OP as troll bait, waiting for someone to ask for source or link with he assumption it was a lib source, so you could go gotcha with FNC..

Yep, I knew some anal retentive twat like you would jump in and cite a different source (that you would otherwise dismiss) showing his rating a few points higher.

Anal Retentive Twat? BDK is Art.

It was the lead story for much of the weekend.

How much of that was driven by the Trump admin's response?

Do you have pics to back it up?

I might be able to find a graph or two. It was the lead story before and after the response.

Jelly, I'm not sure you're understanding what he's saying.

Spicer right now looks like he did a few lines of coke before the press conference, and then he's about to start crying any second

You are still not comprehending my point. You photo only shows half the mall, my photo shows the entire mall. You are showing less than half the people that my photo is showing for Trump (and Obama). In now way, shape or form am I comparing it to Obama's inauguration. In no way, shape or form am I endorsing Trump, just pointing out how the biased, original photo was showing the lighter half/side of the mall during the Trump inauguration.

Put him on the JSO list I guess.

No chance that was by accident.

[Skjellyfetti]

What's the point?

Ask Sean Spicer.

[houndawg]

That's why I'm going to love the next four years! Sean Spicer has already made the election worth it, and Cheeto is physically incapable of ignoring an insult...

This is going to be glorious.

For once, I agree with Uncle Houndy. Gotta respect my elders.

..good job...shows you're evolving...

[houndawg]

I give Spicer about 6 months before he resigns. He isn't going to want to trot out there every time Trump has a temper tantrum.

But Spicer seems to have his own temper tantrums.
I think he'll voluntarily last through the year. Unless he's fired.

You'd have tantrums too if you're boss expected you to lie through your teeth every day to a bunch of people that know you're lying through your teeth. He'll be there as long as he wants to be.

[houndawg]

JSO still in full retard meltdown mode.

Stupid of Trumpers to even bother disputing or even engaging in the Obama v Trump turnout. Obama's innaguration was a historic moment. Trump is just another white guy taking office.

If the Trumpers keep getting sucked in (trolled) to these weak as arguments they are going to get picked apart for the next 4 years.

@ 93's hilldogs inauguration meme.

And Trump's inauguration is also a historic moment. It would be true that Trump would be just another white guy taking office if Trump was a white guy prior politician (which 38 of 43 POTUS prior to Obama were). Only 5 had never been elected to political office:
1. Zachary Taylor- general
2. Ulysses S. Grant- general
3. Herbert Hoover- director of the now no longer in existence US Food Admin.
4. Dwight D. Eisenhower-general
5. Trump

Trump is the 1st president in US history to never have been employed by the govt. That is very historic.

Doesn't the Russian government count?

[Ibanez]

What's the point?

Ask Sean Spicer.

I'll pass along. I might get alternative facts. I prefer my facts to be mainstream.

[YoUDeeMan]

Here is one from Time, a little less biased and a bigger Trump crowd, FWIW.

Gosh, what a surprise. The photo has more people on the right of the shot...and the left leaning media, when putting the two photos side by side, decides to crop the shot to show only the left side of the picture.

They just can't help themselves.

BTW...are there any shots of Clinton's inauguration? Carters? How was the weather? How was security? How many people were working? What were the costs of transportation to get to the event?

Who cares? Apparently, the Left cared enough to start this comparison. And then they say they are surprised that the comparison is so important...after they felt compelled to make the comparison.

Oh bullshit. No one cared all that much until the stupid announcement from Spicer. People might have shared it as a minor victory or some such crap but it meant nothing until the whiny cunt administration freaked out and lied about it.

And you're freaking out about their freak out.

The Left...caught again in their own bowl of crap. Dopes compare pictures to make themselves feewl good...get upset when people challenge their feewings...so they call people whiny cunts to make themselves feewl good again.

It really is incredible how vindictive the Left is.

I was watching CNN and they were obsessing about it for two days. Wolf Blitzer STILL has inauguration on the brain.

Personally I think they were trolling Trump but we still went two days with nothing but InaugurationGate 2017. I actually think Trump and the major news networks deserve each other.



As for me, the first thing I notice in those pictures isn't crowd sizes but how humans crowd towards speaker stacks and Presidents.

Like moths

[YoUDeeMan]

Wolf Blitzer?

How can anyone take him seriously?

He isn't a reporter...he is an agenda driven wimp.

He kept asking a Republican lawmaker if Trump should have apologized to the intel people. What kind of reporter leads with, "Don't you think that...?" "Shouldn't he have..." Yes, but wouldn't it have been better if..." "Couldn't he have..."

Someone Blitzer interviews should simply say, "Are you asking me what I think or are you telling me what you think?"

And, of course, Blitzen kept leading with, "...some of those people put their lives in the line." Yeah, like an analyst in Washington is getting a poison pill put into his latte.

How about, "The President puts his life on the line every day, Wolf."
