Yeah, this whole back-and-forth about DC is sort of obscuring the fact that an estimated 750,000 people marched in LA alone yesterday.

but counting the number of people at his inauguration seems kind of petty.

Living in a country with Soviet history, I cannot begin to describe the familiar horrors her statements give me. Be aware, guys. Be very aware.

ACLU’s already filing suits, I think on the failure to divest, so they aren’t playing.

The ACLU was one of the first organizations I set up a monthly donation with. Because I KNEW this motherfucker would attack the press first.

What makes me so happy though is that besides just the marchers in Washington that so many marches in so many cities were so successful. From a distance, I could see how someone could say “yeah maaayybbbeee the media IS just trying to make DC look like a bigger deal because they hate him” but anyone that was marching…

Doublespeak and Newspeak.

When I heard that, I was so glad to see the newsee take her to task for that.

Trump basically just sent him out as a human tweet. He said exactly the sort of things we coulld have expected at 3AM on his twitter. I am only surprised that Spicer did not end the statement with “SAD!”

How nice would it have been to have woken up today with an alternative President instead?

Meanwhile, Kellyanne Conway is busy calling Spicer’s press conference lies “alternative facts”.

On the other hand, if that’s all it takes to get this administration frothing at the mouth on day 2, there’s no way Trump makes it through 4 years. A press conference like this is akin to chumming the waters. It’s only going to get worse for these idiots from here on out.

I’m honestly not sure. I’m sure the faithful are undeterred, but I suspect that the “anyone but Hillary” crowd is going to start having buyers remorse pretty quickly.

I totally want him to fail. Well, actually I wanted him not to be President so we could keep pushing for incremental progress and the gradual erosion of the right, but since we don’t have the option of saving all the lives which will regrettably end because working-class whites hate everyone who isn’t them, I’ll…

Drinking game: shot every time you read the word “falsely” or any variation.

Spot on. As Maya Angelou said, “When someone shows you who they are, believe them the first time.”

I kind of love that WaPo is now just flat-out saying that Trump is lying:

I had this bizarre ranty conversation at Christmas with my partner’s very conservative father, where he was angrily talking about how “liberals” like us want Trump to fail. And I tried to explain to him that we desperately don’t want Trump to fail, but he’s never given anyone a shred of evidence that he has any…

This picture. Just...*sigh*

I think it’s almost like the ultimate bromance kind of relationship? Would be a way to describe it? Like they realize they’re better together and have a deep appreciation for each other. I’m sure they see each other as equals, intellectually and ambition wise and for people like them I would imagine that is pretty…
