The detail was revealed in investigative reports released to the Guardian under the Freedom of Information Act by the inspector general of the US interior department. They shed new light on the first self-inflicted crisis of Trump’s presidency, when his White House falsely claimed he had attracted the biggest ever inauguration audience.
The records detail a scramble within the National Park Service (NPS) on 21 January 2017 after an early-morning phone call between Trump and the acting NPS director, Michael Reynolds. They also state that Sean Spicer, then White House press secretary, called NPS officials repeatedly that day in pursuit of the more flattering photographs.

You weren't paying attention to Joe's rally crowds were you? He had handfuls, if that.
Now maybe if you called his inauguration a "fiery but mostly peaceful protest" of something, you'd get some numbers there, but otherwise, people don't show up for him. They just don't and haven't throughout his campaign. His voters didn't even show up to vote for him in person.

You know as well as I do that Biden didn't stage the "arena style rallies" that Trump did.
80 million plus turned out to vote for him; I guess that's the turnout that matters, eh?

What does the MSM want? I mean isn’t dementia difficult if not impossible to reverse? What, they DON’T want a prez with that liability?
Hmmm. Go figure. Sure made it seem like he was their blue-ribbon guy.....
There was something entirely crazy about the Democrat primaries. Joe Biden was in 5th place, until Congressman James Clyburn (D-SC) cast a spell on Democrats in South Carolina to make them vote for Joe.
From that point forward, the Mainstream Media ignored everyone but Joe and Bernie Sanders. They made Sanders look like a mean crazy big spender who no American should vote for if they loved their country. Joe was the second coming of Christ.
What kind of spell?
Geas or charm?
Who knows. They've been casting spells against Trump for a while and the repub-wiccans had to flee to their own covens. Maybe Clyburn will be appointed by Biden to be Minister of Magic.
I'm a libertar-wiccan. I think people should stop depending on big magic and use their own spells.
Wiccan eh? Just goes to show that you never know.

I had to link articles because I assumed you would think I was making it all up. It sounds like something I would make up.
Twenty years ago if you told me that in a dystopian future I would be reading news articles about witches battling over the POTUS, who is going to be Donald Trump, I would have asked for your dealer's number.

You're stuck on that.
My point is simply that whatever his numbers appear to be on paper, the warm bodies wouldn't be there and they know it.
What if they held an inauguration and no one showed up? The Emperor Has No Clothes comes to mind ...

My point is that it's your opinion.
As mine is mine.

I only know...we sure don't. Know.

So out of curiosity....and I don't doubt this,
Joe Biden was never the main candidate in the field. He was the trojan horse through which kamala Harris would become President.
So just wondering....if and when Kamala becomes President, who will be her/'their' choice for Vice president?
I think it's at this point that the law abiding folks on the right of the political spectrum will be close to taking up arms and bunkering down somewhere.
