Cool gigapixel photo from CNN. Fun to see where everyone was seated.

Hillary's face is priceless.
Adelson's looking great. DeVos and husband in front of him?



The Intercept is trying to identify all the wealthy donors that got to sit nice and close to the proceedings; quite fitting for a speech about giving government back to the people.

I thought their constituents can't find work anyways. Constant irony/contradictions.

Straight up North Korea.
spicer's "press conference" and trump's disgraceful cia speech are just more examples of trump/bannon narrative-switching.

through these two despicable events they have been able to divert varying levels of media attention away from the biggest, most amazing post-inaugural march in u.s. history.

Quite understandable why Conway turned down the job.

Most relevant news graphic in this thread.

Because we know all CIA employees live within walking distance of the buildings.

If you zoom in on Dubya, he appears to be staring at right at you.

Super serious question, when did trump's dad start showing signs of dementia and how old was he when he died?


Watching that CIA briefing, Jesus man he sounds like he has some sincere dementia.

under cover of trump the gop will remain gleefully busy quietly ramming through their right-wing agenda and stripping away our civil liberties to ever consider any sort of impeachment. it's just something that's never going to happen. trump would have to have done/do something so egregious that gop withholding of action would amount to some kind of complicity.

OR... we can keep generating massive pressure until they have no choice. Today's march had an impact. They are paying attention.

I absolutely do believe we have the power to force their hand. It's a question of whether or not we choose to use it. If today was only day 2 of many more to come, we can do it. But if today was a standalone event that we don't follow up on, we're ****ed and it's gg America.

Correct, from the bakery that made it.

MacIsaac told The Washington Post that she encouraged the client to use the 2013 cake as inspiration.

"They said, 'Nope, they want this exact cake. It's perfect.' And we said, 'Great,' " MacIsaac*told*the Post.

Am I the only one that thinks Duff's cake looks like ****? The one used yesterday did too.

This was the scene at a Metro station in Arlington VA (6 miles from the march area) at 8:00 am:


I wasn't able to get on a train at all, and traffic on the roads was at a standstill, so I walked six ****ing miles to get there, and I was far from alone.

(I didn't take this picture. Just pulled it off twitter. But I was there and saw this scene.)

My favorite sign that I saw:



I didn't take many pictures, because I'm not a picture guy. The thing that struck me was the MASSIVE size of the crowd. There were too many people to march to the White House, so I was in a mass of a few tens of thousands that got shunted off and marched on our own through random DC streets.

Locals, just going about their day, kept cheering us on and high fiving us from their cars, even though we were completely disrupting their day. Everyone was smiling at us, or cheering from their windows.

Eventually, the side march dissipated after a few hours, and I started wandering around. Then I turned a corner and saw the biggest mass of people I have ever seen in my entire life. I tried to take a picture, but it doesn't do it justice:


This was the main march to the White House, and I joined up with it. There was much more chanting. Most were anti-Trump, but we'd mix in a "PENCE SUCKS TOO! PENCE SUCKS TOO!" from time to time, which I really enjoyed. We marched right past the Trump hotel, leading to some very lusty booing.

And then I had to leave and walk back to Arlington. I easily walked 15 miles today, but it was great. It was uplifting in a way I wasn't expecting. There was true camaraderie, and energy, and excitement. It was terrific, and I'm so glad I went.

Good point. I should have added: Clinton won Fairfax County, Virginia by 36%, and DC by 87%.

I dunno. Trump is mishandling slam-dunk type situations..like the speech at the CIA. I don't think its that much of a reach to believe that he will do something that will fall into the category of an impeachable offense. The GOP may decide they can get their stuff passed on their own w/o help from the exalted ruler.
01-21-2017 , 10:39 PM
Mayo, saw another sign in DC today with a pic of John Goodman that said "STFU Donny". We all burst out laughing, maybe hardest laugh all day.

If Trump keeps signing the **** they put on his desk, they won't do ****. If not, well then we'll see.

Mayo,

Awesome.

you are right. today was powerful, and it was inspiring to watch. it made me want to do more. watching the massive crowds i was thinking, if only all these people had someone to lead them, or could somehow form a new party, then we'd really have something.
