The Balls
In 1993, the Clintons attended 14 inaugural balls.
Laura & W went to 8 of 'em in 2001.
And the Obamas had 10 in 2009.
Trump had 2, and they were lightly attended - Trump's 2 itty-bitty sad little balls.
*Is any of this true? Who gives a fuck - this is the Post-Truth World of Alt-Fact.
It's not a question of True vs False. The only thing that matters now is what you choose to believe at any given moment.
And that's how the bad guys get power; and how they stay in power.

Not exactly the adoring throngs he was hoping for.
A coupla screen caps from WaPo's live feed:
Where else do we see "presidential parades" where the security forces outnumber the crowd?
This does not bode well.
And y'know, it occurs to me - if almost literally nobody shows up to acknowledge the installation of the POTUS, maybe we only think there's a guy in the office, but we don't really have a president.
