The fact that there are no good pictures of Trump's 'historic crowd' despite his preoccupation with popularity is telling. It's not like there is a lack of cameras these days.

Base of American culture? Lol. Hollywood culture / reality TV culture is what got Trump elected. It's not the good part of our culture, either.

Maybe it is strategy to put the MSM on notice that he emans business and will not back down from a fight. But not sure why he is picking on crowd size-but in the election he did many things that I thought was strange-but he won. So I guess he knows what he is doing-or maybe we are too used to the Bush type repubs who never say anything back when the MSM goes all crazy.
It will be interesting-it is time someone called the MSM on their bias. Where were they in questioning Obama's if you like your plan you cna keep your plan, questioning TPP, questioning his embrace of NSA/Patriot act when he campaigne dagainst it etc etc etc.
2008 - obama 69,500,000 votes
2012 - obama 65,900,000 votes
2016 - Trump 63,000,000 votes
Lol obama had far more votes, he trumped Trump bigly!
I was thinking of attending, but was put off by the threat of violence, protests, vandalism.
As typical of CNN and MSNBC, the threat of vandalism and violence were not as advertised. I read that
greater than 300 people were arrested.
Its a very peculiar situation - Republicans do not protest with an eye toward violence and vandalism. Republicans just sat by and took it when NAFTA halved the number of manufacturing jobs.
Maybe Libertarians/Republicans/Independants should take a cue from Democrats! If there is even the slightest perception of a wrong, it gets amplified 1000X on CNN, and viola, you have a protest.

So you're a big pussy. SHOCKING!

Trump shouldn't have said anything about the crowd size. Such a topic seems petty and unimportant and appears to be driven by his tremendous ego.
He's "still campaigning". He cares about popularity, impression, and people paying attention to him ... most of all.
If anyone is still waiting for something more Presidential from Trump, you are going to be waiting a long time.
"Doesn't it suck when one of your favorite sources of FAKE news disproves another one of your false narratives. It's not like Fox News posted the Giga pix."
Except it doesn't. The Giga pix doesn't disprove anything.
"When Liberal lies are exposed their next response is."
And what supposed liberal lie is that?

Trump should have one of his lackies count everybody in the gigapix and see if they make it to 1.5 million. Ironman says
Doesn't your husband have it on his phone?
Are you going to revert to calling me a woman every time I show how stupid you are? It's boring at best, but sad to watch. I've been trying to ignore it so as to not draw any more attention to your deficiencies, but you keep at it.

My hands are huge, no problem there, I assure you.
My crowds are big. Amazing people. Greatest people.
It's hilarious to watch both sides argue over such a dumb, trivial topic. This is going to be a long 8 years on Pat.net.
Now that the truth comes out, I think Trumpites will fall in line
so far you posted sources that confirm there is no official count of the attendees. everything is an estimate, nothing can possibly be a "lie"
all you are doing is running cover for unscrupulous media outlets who ran ridiculous imagery comparisons and race-baiting headlines instead of covering an event intended to peacefully transfer power to an incoming president who won the election fair and square.
nothing can possibly be a "lie"
No, Spicer lied about the subway riders among other things. That was not an estimate.
We don't need these Hollywood actors There are plenty of great actors with character standing in line to take their place.
We don't need these rebellious unamerican actors to influence our children. If they don't want to obey our laws and uphold our American standards and the real constitution, not their personal interpretation, go to another country with their liberal beliefs.
No, Spicer lied about the subway riders among other things. That was not an estimate.
he underestimated the trump number, and quoted the correct obama morning number during the 2013 event. more than half a million people used the service in total for both events. the comments were far from "lie"
any comment on the race-baiting headline, which actually was a lie? or is just team trump that gets to be under the magnifying glass...
Good stuff. I still slap Maynard's "Hot" album from 1979 on the turntable for a gin martini or three. Rick Petrone on bass, man; anybody that can make a bass sound like more than just mixing instant mashed potatoes has serious talent.

Well hell, if we're just throwing up music then, Saint-Saëns Symphony No. 3.
You'll remember the part from 28:50 to 30:10 as If I Had Words from Babe.

As well as from the 1970s pop hit.

Great song/piece.
Victor Wooten, Marcus Miller, and Stanley Clarke (SMV) are that good if not better - now!
For a while they were in a trio (TRIO) - best Jazz Trio (Bela Fleck, Jean Luc Ponty, Stanley Clarke)
www.youtube.com/embed/qc-htTZ2w64
Recently Stanley teamed with Lenny White, and Hiromi (In the Garden)
Seems like the sucessors to Coltrane, Thelonious Monk.
Charles Mingus.
On top of it all, there were tons of Trump supporters who couldn't get in to the Inauguration because of TSA being slow. Sorry libs, I'm with Trump on this one even though he STILL shouldn't have made a big deal about something so petty.

Well, if we're going back to jazz, we got to include the greatest jazz song ever, In the Mood.

Since this thread keeps bumping up to the top of the home page, could one of the accusers please specify the particular lies alleged? Something like this:
1) Press Secretary said "x" [link], verifiable fact he knew or should have known was "y" [link]
2) second example proved like the first
3) etc.
Otherwise no one seems to be persuading anyone. Each faction loves their own lies and hates the lies of the "opposing" faction, while both factions combine essentially to distract attention from topics that might actually matter.
Bigger crowd, smaller crowd... "at this point, what difference does it make?"
Apparently it does to the Trumpites. And then why lie about it.
So you're apparently a Trumpite, since you created this Post and commented repeatedly about it. I hope at least you can see a certain symmetry. If you're seriously asking "why lie," the most likely answer is the same as to the question "why Tweet:" free publicity, dominating public "debate," controlling the news cycle. Modern technology makes the strategy cheaper than bread and circuses were in Roman times. As long as partisans waste everyone's time shouting about crowd sizes, cheering their faction and booing the "opposing" faction, it's working.

That has the feel of Baez doing Diamonds And Rust

After zipping past the 70's, it sounds like you guys are ready to break out the 78 lps now.
Yeah, seeing him play the upright bass like a flamenco guitar was pretty cool in the OP.
I guess Maynard had some pretty lavish bands that he toured and had trouble making money for that reason. He could also wig out. Strange, most people remember him from the "Rocky" soundtrack.
Nobody put any "Return to Forever" cuts with Chick Corea, Stanley Clarke, and Al DeMeola in there yet.
I'll have to flip my "Visions of the Emerald Beyond" LP on to see what exactly would cause somebody to frisbee it. It is a pretty cool record by all accounts.
