Jesus Christ, they can't put on a parade. Late, getting dark, stands empty.

[nolabear]

Per MSNBC they're blaming the empty stands on the fact that lunch ran late and they couldn't get people to them. And the parade itself is running so late that it's getting dark and that man hasn't even gotten to the review stand.

THEY CAN'T COORDINATE A PARADE, PEOPLE.

1. This does not bode well

This crew is now running our country. Yikes.

2. I was in a marching band for Tricky Dick

and because my state was near the last, it was dark. It was also very cold and wet. Oddly, there were plenty of people lining the streets. What does this tell you?

3. He probably spent endless time at the lunch patting himself on the back.

I expect a lot of that. Love the lack of people in general and the dud parade.

6. He hired people on purpose who weren't professionals. So he got them.

8. Yup. This is a sneak preview.

4. i thought it was pretty good for a funeral.

7. That's exactly how it felt with the small, subdued crowd.

5. Of all the places to get out and walk, Trump gets out in front of his hotel then walks a little.

9. Make America Late Again

12. LOL!

19. He might be a fascist, but he apparently hasn't read the bit about the trains.

10. This is the most pathetic inauguration I have ever seen..

[nolabear]

11. It certainly has no air of celebration. I thought his minions would be all up in there.

It does confirm my belief that they are mainly people who want someone to do things for them rather than getting out there themselves, even to support their supposed leader.

14. They said all his people were at work, at the jobs Obama got for them

[NYC Liberal]

17. Quite the dilemma for their talking points...

We need Trump because of all the jobs that have been lost under Obama...

...but no one went to the inauguration because they have jobs to go to.

[Dark n Stormy Knight]

20. Post truth, post logic America, without which this travesty could not have happened.

[dgauss]

13. But parades are complicated and they don't have any actual experience running a parade.

I'm sure they'll do better with the government...

[LeftInTX]

15. I just switched on Livestream at LA Times

Instead of tanks, he's got bagpipes.

Although I assume the real military brass went first.

[bdamomma]

16. well if they can't coordinate

a parade they won't be able to coordinate the country.

[Bengus81]

18. Yup..I was watching. EMPTY or nearly empty bleachers all over that parade route.

Probably hurried back home to see if they could work another shift seeing how Pres Pussygrabber just screwed many homeowners our of $500.00 per year on mortgage insurance.

21. If a fascist throws a ticker tape parade and no one shows up, did it really happen?
