THIS is the ACTUAL photo of the mall as Trump appears:

Be very aware as social media tries to mislead people with how big his crowd is. Expect dozens of posts using not only Obama's inauguration photos, but even potentially the Steven / Cobert rally photos.

The Republicans love to use incompetence as an excuse for everything. So they'll say that they had trouble getting people through security, etc.

From what I heard, some Trump supporters have been saying they cannot attend the Trump inauguration like Obama supporters attended the Obama inaugurations because, unlike Obama supporters, Trump supporters have jobs and families.

How small minded, low information, ignorant people could take over a major World Power.

I blame:

1. 90 % of the blame goes to the Corporate media. Microscopes on Hillary, Bullhorns for Trump.
2. Rich Conservative Assholes that financed all this BS.
3. Racist, Misogynist and ignorant people. The Greedy Old Party rubes.
4. People who do not vote at all, you just disenfranchised yourself, costing them nothing.

I do not blame:

Hillary or Bernie, or the campaign.

They "won", they cheated and we all lose when that happens.

One week after the election, I could not believe the sycophantic coverage. I unplugged my two cable boxes and brought them to my provider and canceled my service. Told them I am not paying for bullshit anymore. No PAY TV at all, went and bought 10.00 dollar HD TV antenna so I can watch PBS.

100 bucks a month in my pocket, not theirs.

I also told the clerk if they gut Net Neutrality, I will be canceling my internet also.

Everybody had friends come in from out of town. They all had to work. There was a snowstorm. Nobody's car would start. There was an earthquake. Or an avalanche, I forget which.

It's Not Trump's Fault!
