_A source told CNN that Trump was enraged about photographic comparisons of the two inaugurations. Trump publicly complained about media coverage of the size of his inauguration crowd during a visit to CIA headquarters Saturday. Hours later, Spicer followed suit in the White House briefing room, then left without taking questions._ from CNN. Wait until the Orange buffoon takes his shoe off and starts beating on the desk with it. This fool will have the first presidential meltdown to be televised. ---

> [@iiandyiiii](#): > > Almost none of this happened yesterday, and it’s always been a tiny, tiny minority of protesters and liberals who do it. Why are you focusing so much on something that it so small? It’s worth a mention, like “the very small amount of violence should be condemned”, and it is condemned by most prominent liberals (and most liberals on this board) I read about, but then they move onto the issues they’re concerned about. All the words wasted on imagined violence from the right are fine? Yet real life violence from lunatics on the left is hand waved away? That’s not very consistent. ---

So, according to a FB friend there was a panel on CNN this morning where some conservative women complain about the protests because a) KellyAnne Conway wasn’t allowed to speak and b) Anit-Abortion groups were not ‘invited’. Ignoring the ‘not even wrong’ with those comments they triumphed with saying that the March For Life next month would ‘dwarf’ the numbers of yesterday’s march. So OMG seems to be swallowing a lot of the GOP’s Kool-Aid or he is visiting us from the future. ---

@ octopus. Your political views fit the Republican agenda nicely. Whatever the truth is, deny it and attack those who spread the truth. _White House press secretary attacks media for accurately reporting inauguration crowds_ I think the Orange buffoon is going to be in a shooting war with the media before long. ---

> [@octopus](#): > > All the words wasted on imagined violence from the right are fine? Yet real life violence from lunatics on the left is hand waved away? That’s not very consistent. piffle, besides you relying on nutpicking what you miss is that the violence from the right is tolerated or demanded from the top. That is not what we see on the left. [![](https://img.youtube.com/vi/gFZ-1EojoFM/maxresdefault.jpg "The Good Old Days (featuring Donald Trump & the Greensboro 4)") ](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gFZ-1EojoFM) There is also the item that a lot of the right nowadays does not see much need to show violence because as they tell it, they have the power now. They expect now that their man will do what they wanted to do to minorities and the undocumented, it is not violence if the executive does it in their minds. One would hope that it will remain imaginary, but I don’t think so, in any case it is clear to me that many Trump supporters do not give a damn if actions like the ones he promised will break families and that one very likely result is to turn Texas and Arizona against the Republicans for generations. > **[The dark, complex history of Trump's model for his mass deportation plan](https://www.latimes.com/nation/la-na-trump-deportation-20151113-story.html)** > > Esteban Torres was 3 years old when his father was sent back to Mexico by U.S. immigration authorities. > [@](#): > > Esteban Torres was 3 years old when his father was sent back to Mexico by U.S. immigration authorities. > > “One day, my father didn’t come home,” remembers Torres, who lived with his family in a mining camp in Arizona at the time. “My brother and I were left without a father. We never saw him again.” > > Torres\*, 85, who went on to become a congressman representing the Pico Rivera area, was part of a generation of people whose lives were changed dramatically by large-scale deportation campaigns during the 1930s, '40s and '50s in which millions of Mexican nationals were rounded up and sent across the border on buses, trains and ships. > > During Tuesday night’s Republican debate, Donald Trump hailed one of those campaigns — the Eisenhower administration effort known by the outdated, racist name Operation Wetback — as a model for the “deportation force” he says he would deploy to swiftly remove the estimated 11 million immigrants living in the U.S. without legal status. Oh, yeah, that was former Democrat representative Torres. One should not wonder why he became a Democrat. ---

**octopus**. Perhaps you and **OMG** can give us your spin on this article from Xinhua (Chinese English news agency) about Trump’s first day in office. This is what that part of the world is seeing. _Trump’s 1st full day in office: intelligence, media, mass protests 01-22 19:05 It seems surreal but in fact real: U.S. President Donald Trump spends his 1st full day in office denying his feud with the CIA, ignoring the massive protests against him, and blasting the media over lessening his inaugural crowd. …_ Seeing us as others see us. 😉 ---

Thankfully we’re in the pit, so I can say this. You’re a fucking moron. And not just in the regular old “I feel sorry for that guy!” kind of way, but that an “Is that guy serious?” kind of way. One, I hope you realize that [this](http://marchforlife.org/) is the official March for Life site and has been for-- jeez-- at least seven or so years (probably longer), not Lifenews right? LOL, of course you don’t. I’m not expecting a mea culpa or anything, because that’d be expecting way to much from an obvious hack. Two, I do hope you realize-- which you probably do but decided to ignore it anyway-- that DC was under a deep blizzard this time last year and that a state of emergency was issued the week of the March for the Washington DC area, right? …RIGHT? :rolleyes: Three, and most importantly, the reason you don’t believe it is because you choose to live in a fucking bubble. But I’ll tell you what - the Annual March is this Friday. Pull up a live stream and watch to see how many people come out. I’ll even make a thread for it, so you can judge the size for yourself. Deal? In the meantime, we’ve established that not only are you a liar, and a moron to boot, but that you also live in some alternate reality. But I’m glad I could help you fight your ignorance! So, yes. You’re welcome. And enjoy the Trump Presidency! I know I will! 😃 ---

[More right-wing butthurt:](http://mediamatters.org/blog/2017/01/21/my-shirts-arent-going-iron-themselves-conservatives-launch-attacks-women-s-march/215075) Erick Erickson, having a sad for the ham and cheese that yesterday’s marchers wouldn’t be turning into sandwiches. (Good to know that 1972-era sexism is still alive and well.) Michael Flynn, Jr., the son of our incoming National Security Adviser, claiming that women already have equal pay, so what do they _really_ want, free mani/pedis? Piers Morgan, calling yesterday’s protests “anti-democratic.” (Guess it’s anti-democratic to actually _use_ one’s First Amendment right of peaceable assembly. Who knew?) John Cardillo: “Wrap this up girls. My shirts aren’t going to iron themselves.” (See comment after Erickson.) And of course, that ancient standby: if a conservative can’t argue intelligently against women who are protesting, insult their looks, call them “overweight,” “homely,” “troll-like,” and “a freak show.” (Jim Hoft, Sheriff David Clarke, and Alex Jones) Because to conservatives, a woman’s value is mainly in her appearance. That’s a lot of butthurt there, isn’t it? I’m looking forward to hearing conservatives slamming the hell out of this bullshit, and prove me wrong about these attitudes being representative of conservatism in general. No, really, I’d love to see it happen, because it would mean that finally, conservatives, whatever bullshit they routinely condone, will finally have found this anti-woman garbage to be over the line. Needless to say, I’m not expecting it. ---

> [@Omg\_a\_Black\_Conservative](#): > > _looks at lefty media_ > > Yeah, I think you’re purposely being obtuse here. Why do you pretend that it’s just the “lefty media” that’s unhappy with Trump and his people? [George Will in the Washington Post](https://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs/post-partisan/wp/2017/01/20/a-most-dreadful-inaugural-address/?utm_term=.70ecaa4e3bda), “the most dreadful inaugural address in history.” [Jonathan Last in The Weekly Standard](http://www.weeklystandard.com/trumpism-corrupts-spicer-edition/article/2006432), “Which leads us to the question of why Spicer rushed out on Day 2 of the administration to begin his relationship with the press by insisting on a blatant, demonstrably false, lie. And please understand: That’s what this is. It is not spin, or misrepresentation, or cutting a fine line. It’s a deliberate lie.” (This followed a paragraph in which Last called Obama a “terrible president.”) In short, it’s not just liberals who are unhappy about Trump. Plenty of Republicans and others on the right side of the aisle are as well. ---
