A cursory look at twitter should give those in charge a moment of pause about implementing their agendas...but it probably won't. Even with Trumps sinking approva figures. I remarked to a friend Trump voter upon his election the US is perched on the precipice of social political upheaval that will make the 60s looks like a fucking walk in the park. His response was "bring it on".

So be it.



They sure have come out of the woodwork.

lol: right now at CIA, Trump is rambling on stage about the attendance at his rally yesterday: "I looked down at the ground, and I swear it was a million, million and a half people! look at it, they were right there. Then they release this video, showing it was practically empty! It wasn't that empty, there were a million, million and a half at least!. So we caught them, we shut it down, we caught them in a lie! this number of 200,000? A lie! Now, they are going to pay for this, it was a lie..."

Holy shit.

He's now complaining about Time lying about some MLK statue being taken down. The media will pay, I won't accept this...etc.

You own this man, republicans.

This is what happens when you vote for a raging egomaniacal narcissist with inadequacy issues.

Ha, beat me to it... sure enough, Trump lies about how many people were at the inauguration. He genuinely can't stand the thought that he's less than adored.

Well, guess what: most people in the US don't like you. Don't be surprised if even your own party votes to kick you out of office, because you're tarnishing their reputation at the same time as yours.

Oh that's funny. I saw the cake and didn't know about Obama.

So did Trump et al order this or was it a gag someone pulled on him?

Supposedly Trump's "people" ordered it. But really, who do you think could be this insanely petty?

I can believe people can be infinitely petty, but I hoped this was slipped in because that would be plain funny!

acoording to the baker, the "client" [meaning, whoever on Trump's team dropped off the photo] demanded it be "Exactly like the one in the photo, because it is perfect," after a rebuff from the baker that they should use it as inspiration, instead of an exact copy.

That being said, her statement seems to have been released after Duff called them out on Twitter. Maybe she was honest about it all--I mean, the real issue is that the client just wanted that cake for whatever reason--but it's just as likely she didn't want to cause a wedge with the "most famous celebrity confectioner baker dude."

whatever, it's more amusing than it is an actual issue (apparently this Trump cake is just a replica with only one layer of actual cake...which is also rather bizarre but ironically appropriate). I just hope this scandal doesn't get a -gate attached to it.

To top it all off: the White House briefing room actually has pictures falsely comparing inauguration sizes (using carefully chosen photos to avoid showing the truth).

If it wasn't already clear that Trump sees the presidency as a penis size measurement competition instead of a serious civic responsibility, it is now. Impeach him; he's unfit for the office.

Man he actually stood in front of the wall at the CIA that anonymously commemorates all the members who have died in the service of their country secretly and went on about the media and crowd sizes. What a pathetic little man child this guy is.

Proof? The two images on those monitors are clearly identical.

They are the same, though they are showing it from the most optimistic angle. However that they are there at all and his continual obsession with crowd size speaks to an inadequacy issue the depths of which I can barely fathom.

Wait- I see tens of thousands of Muslims chopping off heads on the rooftops! Why has the media edited out this truth!

We have the fascist president that republicans deserve. Shame the much greater majority of Americans have to live under this type of minority rule. That kinda dynamic has really worked well in the middle east for years, hasn't it?

This is serious Ministry of Truth type of activity. Remember this, republicans. Remember all of it.

They're just happy that leftards are "angry", amirite. Anything to keep the next in line centrist democrat out of office.

It's a problem of perspective to give an impression to back what is a false claim on the part of Trump. He stated that there were about 1.5 million attending but photos show a far lower count, perhaps a third and that's being generous.

I realize that subterfuge is something that every Administration uses but some subtlety is usually present. It does not appear so to my eyes in this instance.

Sure, Trump is obviously faking numbers, but that wasn't the full extent of what Commodus was claiming.

In any case, I don't see how this is any different from the campaign trail where candidates optimized every event photo to have the most flattering angle possible. Propaganda is an important part of any government.

Did he really say they 'were going to pay' for that? If so, holy shit, this guy has lost it. We have never had someone this mentally ill as president.

the rally is running on one of the local 24 hour news channels here. In one screen, they show the crowd at the mall....really need to look at that same camera today. The mall looks completely packed.

lol, need to find timed screencaps. This looks more than 3x what was there yesterday, but need the same image if possible.

Here you go

A screengrab of EarthCam's live feed of the National Mall during Trump's inauguration ceremony:



A screengrab of the EarthCam feed from the National Mall before the Women's March:
