What people possess, genius, are these things called EYES.

They know they’re outnumbered now. They’re going to get angry and pretend they’re “biting back,” when really they’re just biting. They will get violent. Discourse doesn’t stop nazis.

I want the nickname “Baghdad Bob Spicer” to catch on.

Aw, here’s another.

A smart administration (lol) would address the march in a manner something like this: “We embrace the public’s right to exercise their First Amendment right to peaceful assembly, and we hope that, in time, we can show ALL of America that we are with them, and working for the greater good of every citizen.”

The empty stands amazed me. I was in the stands in 09, right in the spot where the Obamas got out and started walking (OMG!!!) and we were packed in shoulder to shoulder. It is stunning that Spicer could just lie about something so stupid—-there’s honestly no shame in just acknowledging that Obama’s 09 attendance was…

I do like how the press has been responding to this. Perhaps it angered them into growing spines? Or remembering their duty to facts and the truth? Either way I hope they keep it up.

I don’t know that I’d give them credit for realizing anything. Gaslighting is a regular play for them.

Yep. The parade route was completely barren. Full of empty bleachers. That one must have stung for him.

Spicer went on to say that for the first time in history, floor coverings were used to protect the Malls’ grass, which he claimed “had the effect of highlighting any area where people were not standing.”

Yikes. There were literally more people in my Metro car today going into DC than are in these bleachers. Poor guy

Enjoy the press corps while you can, it’ll be disbanded by next week.

I personally loved the leap from “there is NO way of knowing how many people were there.” to “There were the most people from any inauguration ever.”

I love that CNN elected not to cover this live—they tweeted that they’d “monitor it” for anything significant and then cut over if it warranted. And since then they’ve been fact-checking everything Spicer said.

We knew he would be completely full of shit. But there isn’t even any art to this! To be so BLATANT with the lies is just insane. You don’t even have to use “strategically cropped” photos to tell. The DC Metro was posting comparison numbers between Obama inaugurations, Trump’s sad fail, and today’s amazing March.…

Just wanted to focus on goodness of the marches and then reality hits you. The US has a fascist as President. None of this is surprising nor was Trump’s speech yesterday.

Can we just call it a propaganda announcement? I really expect more out of a press conference than “sad man lies loudly for several minutes.”

The shrieking of a deranged administration finally realizing that reality won’t just step quietly up to the wall to get shot.

“This was the largest audience to ever witness an inauguration, period”

It’s not clear which tweet he was referring to, but plenty of photographic evidence indicated a low turnout for Trump’s inauguration.
