Did anyone notice how sparse the National Mall looked?

There was an overview of the National Mall to the Capital and it looked mighty sparse, especially compared to the nearly 2 million that Obama got for his first inaugural.

13. Those pics say it all

I wasn't there, but I did hear reports from DC's Metro that ridership was nowhere near what they expected; in fact Metro officials say that it was comparable to normal rushhours in DC. Plenty of train cars had seats, which tells me it was LESS than normal rushhour.

10. Saw it! "The Gap" takes on a whole new meaning!

Soooooo much empty white flooring visible!

When they compared it to President Obama's inaugural crowd - shit, you couldn't find an inch of floor - ANYWHERE!

It didn’t take long for there to be a little bit of controversy when Donald Trump’s administration took over the @POTUS Twitter account. As in it was immediate. Initially, the Twitter page (archived here) had a photo of a presidential inauguration as its background image. The problem was that it was from Obama’s first inauguration in 2009.

14. Lord, I hadn't even got done typing, yet. n/t

12. How long do you think

it will be before Faux snooze posts pictures of Obama's inauguration and claims they are from today. You know it will happen.

16. The degenerate already tried that

Look at my post and link above your comment.

15. I agree, there are far less people.....but those pics could be a little deceiving....

Given there are tents which people COULD be under....

[cynatnite]

17. Are you saying that there could be another million people under the tents?
