Number one, that photo on the right is a bald faced lie. They panned the crowd several times while I was watching it and I could see with my own eyes that that middle section, whatever it's called was packed full of people all the way back to the Washington monument.

As for Obama's crowd being bigger, of course it was. 46% of Washington DC's population is black. And over 90% of the total population of DC votes Democrat in every single election. So any Democrat that is being sworn in, especially the first Black President, has hundreds of thousands of fans that don't have to sweat travel arrangement and expenses, parking, lodging, etc. All they have to do is roll out of bed in the morning, throw on some sweats, and stroll over to the inauguration. So of course they are going to have more people there for a Democrat, than for Trump, whose fans have to trek in from flyover country.

It should be easy for you to find a picture or a screengrab, Joad. So, where is it?

How about this picture of Trump's limo passing the reviewing stands right between Treasury and the White House? I suppose Joad will say that everybody was waiting in line at the Jiffy Johns at the time.

Those Jiffy Johns were called Don's Johns. The inaugurination flacks didn't catch their mistake until the day of the Shitshow on the Mall. They had to run around with a roll of masking tape to cover it up.
