Do you know how perspective works? The photo is taken from a very shallow angle from the stage. It's only dozens of feet off the ground and its looking down miles of the mall.

Look how closely spaced the speaker towers appear. That 'bit' of white space in front of the building at the back of the crowd? That's the massive white space shown in your other link.

Also, that building is not located back as far as the Washington Monument. It's on 12th Street. Look at Google Maps. It's a good third of a mile closer than the monument.

Your two links agree with each other.

Hmm, and from CNN no less.

Rotate and zoom. Peeps all the way to the Washington Monument. A pretty stark contrast to the picture at 11:04 AM that suits your agenda.

No way. I don't believe it. You can't be that dumb.

True, but there are two groups protesting. One group consists of the usual suspects who have no life, no clue, and no marketable skills. But the other group consists of people who have a marketable skill, but want to be seen protesting. I think these people feel this is the next big civil rights struggle and they want in on the ground floor.

The event I attended (Hartford, CT, approximately 10,000 people) was to my estimation roughly 70% suburban women-including their children, ranging all the way from infants to teenagers and often their spouses, 10% what I would classify as us politically active elderly, 20% college kids, 10% social and church groups and half of a marching band (in their street clothes, was a big hit with everyone). Oh, and two park security officers-the only cops I saw were directing the large press of traffic in the city streets.

It was a remarkably well behaved and frankly happy crowd. Personally this was the first time I attended a "protest" since Vietnam and I greatly doubt whether any but the tiniest fraction fit the stereotype you describe. Our crowd was very much a cross section of America-or at least what America should be.

Somebody is going to have to invent a lie-o-meter just for Trump and his handlers, where the peg is going to have to be infinitely adjustable toward the high side.

And then another highly scalable meter needs to be invented where it indicates how many lies comes out of the Trump camp, gets fact-checked and positively debunked, but then gets re-told over and over by the Trumpsters as if the fact-based refutation never existed.

In addition, another meter needs to be custom tailored for Trump whereby Trump's popularity index will start from zero and then read backward into the minus side with no plus side showing.

Of course, in paying homage to the new alternative fact category that has been created in order to legitimize/sanitize whatever lies Trump and his reorganized crew of swamp denizens come up with, there needs to be a meter made to indicate how more "alternative" their "facts" become the more they get debunked.

Lastly, a newer more robust LED meter loosely based on the richter scale needs to be designed expressly for Trump where it shows how severe his backing out of the lies and promises he makes gets.

And lets not even get into how solidly built the Kellyanne Conway divert-o-meter needs to be. That one is going to get tested way beyond the capability of present-day technological expertise.

Screw that, just remove the peg, slap on an armature, and voila! Free energy.

The situation here seems simple. Werepossum doesn't have much of anything to protest and apparently lacks the imagination to figure why anyone else in this country legitimately would. I mean, you would think from his own admission that life is harder for blacks that they or friends might have something to say about it or the like, but connecting that to this would display a level of self-awareness that would probably revoke conservative membership status.

What you miss is that virtually anything else you can do will improve your life more than protesting. Protesting anything but gross violations of dignity or liberty is simply an admission that one is too stupid or trifling to improve one's lot in life and therefore has to demand that someone else do so.

Werepossum is probably one of the saner right wing posters IMHO.

I do not agree with him often, but he can at least make a point other than resorting to outright slandering and pivoting most of the time.

Thanks, buddy.

Always remember Trump's Inauguration attendance was a million times bigger than Hillary's.

lol +1 indeed.

Michelle tried for eight years to get women exercising, and in just one day Trump got more women out walking than Michelle reached in eight years.

I know, right? I don't understand why he doesn't embrace his ability to attract crowds.

I mean, he really did bring far more people to DC than Obama did. Way, way more. ...just embrace those Saturday numbers, man! He even got people in Antarctica out of their snow caves (or their wherevers)!

He doesn't embrace his ability to attract crowds because of their tendency to bring torches and pitchforks.

Honestly I have been impressed at the civility. These marches are like Tea Partiers in that aspect.

The point of gathering as a group is to initiate action which cannot be taken individually, ie one woman protesting some complete misogynist made president. We've seen how Trump types handle that.

Though in fairness they're also doing their best fascist impersonation in how to deal with mass protests same as their predecessors did some decades back. Let's not pretend conservatives were ever big fans of uppity behavior.

I'm aware of the difference, not like anyone would be confused reading the thread 😛. Will edit my post so as to not confuse the typical non-P&N poster.

BoomerD is a good guy.
