[whyamihere]

That was honestly one of the most amazing things I've ever done.

Are there any pictures from medium sized cities and town?

 

[Y2Kev]

This is so sad. The press conference is about crowd size.

MLKgate lol he is shouting holy shit

 

[Crocodile]

We are literally having a press statement about fucking crowd sizes

....................Where did this country go wrong?

 

[JDB]

How insecure are these people. Christ.

 

[JP_]

This president is so easy to bait. They will cry about everything.

 

[Kid Heart]

I can't even laugh. This conference is sad as hell.

 

[elvisaintdead]

This dude sounds so angry. It would be funnier if it wasn't so sad.

 

[aspiegamer]

I... I can't. I just can't at this. "Most attended inauguration, period!" ahahahahahah... siiiiiiiiiigh.

 

[TheAbsolution]

Oh my god, nobody cares Sean. Jesus Christ.

Needed to be all caps. Sad!!!

 

[Dubbedinenglish]

This is day 2

 

[Smiles and Cries]

this press dude is not going to last 4 years he will get a heart attack shouting at the press so hard

 

[benicillin]

LMFAO I CAN'T EVEN

 

[JP_]

Afraid of questions. Sad!

 

[elvisaintdead]

And no questions, of course.

 

[Carpe Carnim]

JFC.

They're really sending Dopey Spice up to tell the nation a lie about crowd size? This is fucking insane, sad, and hilarious all at the same time.

I hope his fans are proud. They've elected a giant piss-baby with a YUGE inferiority complex.

He could barely say a full sentence without stumbling over his words.

 

[Smiles and Cries]

this was the wrong way to get the media on your side lol

 

[benicillin]

They cannot handle the pressure he was about to fly off the chain sputtering and yelling. I don't know how long they can keep this up.

 

[Teggy]

This is dictatorship type stuff. The government will tell us what is true regardless of what our eyes tell us.

This is not funny, this is incredibly scary.

Ari Fleischer:

This is called a statement you're told to make by the President. And you know the President is watching.

Hold up, hold up. I'm a moderate/Independent and let me tell you that this is not a big deal. Liberals need to stop overreacting. Now let me go back to the sand and stick my head in it.

It's just going to be bitch-slap politics for as long as they can ride the tiger. King Orange's fans want him to treat their enemies (ie anyone who isn't in the cult) as badly as possible. This is their revenge for their own failures in life. I expect the press banished to tertiary buildings multiple times during the first year, parking spaces revoked and questions/interviews reserved for servile outlets and personalities.

 

[zabuni]

He also just called Peña Nieto a Prime Minister. Which Mexico doesn't have.

 

[Y2Kev]

The dnc caused this by scheduling political debates for Saturdays

 

[Smiles and Cries]

how will the media react to this statement

and dude's job just became that much tougher on Monday there is no way he can just walk out on questions twice lol

Truth. My aunt is a fanatic and has this image:

On her cubicle at her office. Except it has Trump's face on Batman and CNN instead of Robin's face, with "FAKE NEWS!" in the caption bubble. Anyone looking to see crazy just need look at comments on WSJ/other conservative news sites' articles or their crazy family members.

 

[Oblivion]

CNN's problem was never (surprisingly) calling out Trump for his shenanigans, it was putting Hillary's issues on equal terms.

 

[Aaron Strife]

Yeah, I think people misinterpret the 2010 elections as being a result of the Tea Party. The reality is that they could have been much worse if it were not for the Tea Party.

Democrats should be careful in looking towards that movement as any sort of model.

It's true that they blew some elections, but I do think it helped to whip other Republicans into a fervor over death panels, socialized medicine etc. Especially when it made Democratic representatives look terrible at town halls or state fairs or other public events where they had face time with constituents.

Obama was headed for a bad midterm no matter what (bad economy, low Dem turnout), but the actions of both the party and the activists IMO made it much worse.

But yes I agree we should be careful about things like candidate selection. We don't need Tim Canovas or Alan Graysons running in swing districts. But that goes both ways too - just on paper I think Tom Perriello is a much better candidate than the more establishment-flavored Ralph Northam in Virginia, for example.

We are fucked

 

[Box of Kittens]

Participated in Chicago's march. The train to get there was as packed as any I've ever been on. It was obvious early on that initial crowd estimates were far too small. Saw lots of great signs, and as we moved underneath the Loop, it was fun to see the train operators universally open their windows and wave to the crowds.

Yesterday I was just feeling depressed, but today has me energized.

 

[whyamihere]

These marches give me hope

 

[Plinko]

Cross-posting from OT:

His thin skin is going to cause an international conflict, and I have a feeling lives will be lost because of his fragile ego.

 

[Smiles and Cries]

this whole mock anger over crowd sizes is a very effective way to deflect attention from Women's March smh

 

[chadskin]

Let's hope the media doesn't play up the fact Putin has more nukes than Donald, who knows how he'd react to that.

 

[ItWasMeantToBe19]

The adults are finally back in charge.

We will be the ones affected most, not the rich, unfortunately. They'll profit from our pain, suffering, and loss.

I don't think this is, like, a calculated thing. It never is. He only has an id.

 

[sphagnum]

I had a good chuckle at this post on r/socialism:

It's reasonably well-known that Marx wrote to Lincoln to congratulate him.

What is lesser-known is that Lincoln wrote back. The two of them quickly began planning a centuries-long conspiracy to bring communism to the United Stated by developing a party firmly rooted in accelerationist principles and bringing about crisises of capitalism.

How much more zoomed in can aaron's avatar get

 

[Brawly Likes to Brawl]

I said this earlier, but this is simply who Trump is. This isn't a master plan, he really is that petty of a human being.

 

[ItWasMeantToBe19]

Trump will distract away from that people dislike him by demonstrating that he's basically American Saddam Hussein except much more of a coward and more obsessed with his small penis size?

 

[metalslimer]

If I was China this is the perfect time to test him.

Terrorists also have an easy opening to get him to do something rash.

That love child-havin' first press secretary must be feeling pretty good right about now.

Not to be a downer, but as I said in the other thread, the protests against Scott Walker after 2010 led him to being re-elected by an even bigger margin than the first time.

 

[Carpe Libertatem]

But that goes both ways too - just on paper I think Tom Perriello is a much better candidate than the more establishment-flavored Ralph Northam in Virginia, for example.

Perriello is a weird case because he's clearly progressive, but also has a proven track record in elections (even when he lost in 2010, it was a way smaller margin than it should have been).
