To be fair the photo of Trump's inauguration u posted is early on before Trump arrived.

It was about 15 mins before 12, when he was sworn in

It plainly says 11:04am on the split photo in the OP and he was sworn in at 12:00 not "about 15 mins before 12"

Plrrase show us how people will lose healthcare?

You'll see

amusing to think how many tools have voted to take health care away from themselves and their families xD total tards

So you are going to repeat democratic propaganda without doing independent research to see they are wrong.

ok......

a reply to: Xcathdra

Sometimes people just wants to perpetuate the lies rather than admit what is obvious, is better to fake the news than to tell the truth.

It becomes tiresome repeating the same crap over and over again.

Well the crowd may not have filled the Mall, but it was still a hell of a lot more than would have shown up at my inauguration...

a reply to: TardacusThat's what I was going to suggest. The protesters may have had ,not only roads blocked , but motels filled as well. Also look how many voters crawled out of the woodwork just so they could vote for Obama solely because he was black. This on top of all the others who voted for the same single reason. They all wanted acknowledgement for their participation in that historical event. They all wanted some kind of attention. Maybe a lot of people assumed that once in office , Obama was sure to be assassinated and they should see him while they could. I highly doubt many of those same people showed up today in support of the new President. Maybe the people who were interested in watching Trump's inauguration wanted to actually see it and hear it, without it being drowned out by all the ridiculousness of all the sore losers who were expected to gather to cause disruption. Who would want to subject themselves to such interruption while trying to view something they found historically and otherwise important?

Unlike Obama voters, Trump supporters had to work.

Fairweather friends + first black president.

Oh and the same reason all the polls didn't show Trump winning.

The INSANE PC retards have made it almost a social crime to show support for Trump. Times are tough, things need to get better, and the people who really care showed up for Trump.

The people who wanted to party and sing Kumbaya showed up for Obama

Oh. Really? - you know this how? I'm interested to see the facts behind your claim?

Obama always had a large contingent of cultists that followed him around like he was the messiah. Trump has a bunch of people that work that simply want our country back.

Funny, because I thought Trump had a large contingent of cultists that wanted their messiah to make America great again at the expense of others not like them and bring back all those jobs that so many didn't have, since the country had gone to utter # and unemployment was so high.

:/

The disconnect from reality certainly is real.

Yeah right. Trumps cultist want the same things as Obama's cultist. You want your country back from who? Who stole it and when?

Again the media showing pictures from entirely different times of day...super realistic

I just don't think the attendance numbers are that important. Even compared to 2009...the world "attends' live events differently.

How much of the world stays home, at work, at friends - wherever - and watches on their phone? Have you seen an intimate table of friends out for dinner? They are glued to their phones.

...Or they wait until later to catch the highlights on youtube once it's over?

Hey, he may turn out to be the worst, best or most mediocre President "of all time", but regardless of how you feel about him, today's attendance is not the measure of what sort of President he is or will be.

It means that dumbocrats bussed and paid people to be there that didn't have a job. Plus, there is the racial component that everyone wants to ignore. Where were all the blacks(Obama coalition) for #llary? Exactly.

a reply to: TruMcCarthy

Doesn't he have people? Like all the best people. The best people. You'll see. Huge numbers. The best people?

After all, he proclaimed this

“We are going to have an unbelievable, perhaps record-setting turnout for the inauguration, and there will be plenty of movie and entertainment stars. All the dress shops are sold out in Washington. It’s hard to find a great dress for this inauguration.”

a reply to: ColdWisdom

look at the disparity between the pic in the OP and the pic xuen posted:

The OP posted bird's eye views of the same angle and same frame at roughly the same time.

Xuenchen's photo was FROM—and of ONLY—the foreground.

Someone is being deceptive.

That's fairly obvious, and it wasn't the OP.

Yeah, no one had a computer in 2009.

Valid point though. The internet, and YouTube wasn't as mainstream back then as it is now.

Actually it feels just about the same as in 2009...

You don't think Donald is a little miffed that more people showed up for Obama?

I don't think Donald pays much attention to facts; or, when faced with them, he simply refuses to believe them.

Which facts?
Real ones or the other kind?

Obama, the longest wartime president in history.

You couldn't more wrong. For one congress hasn't voted for a war since WW2 second we have been fighting in other nations since WW2 so every President since then fits the bill for longest wartime President.

Obama added the most debt 9+ trillion.

And now Trump will get to add to it. Let's see if his cultist hold him to the same standards.

Iran Deal Obama signed that will end with that monstrous nation acquiring nuclear weapons.

Flat out lie. Not only does that treaty stop them from building one the NPT stops them as well.

Facilitating Illegal Immigration

He has deported more than any other President.

Encouraging Racial Polarization

When did he say races should stay in their own groups? Proof please.

Losing A War We Had Already Won In Iraq!

Wrong again the paperwork for when the war was going to end was signed before he walked into office.

a reply to: Phage

He has facts. All the best facts. All of them. Huge facts. The best. You'll see. Make America great again. The best facts.
