Well, by posting something that contradicts The Trump Administration, BoingBoing will now be slammed as “Fake News”. Trump announced that the attendance would “break all of the records”, which may actually be true, but not in the way that he wanted it to be, but the LOWEST attendance ever.

It has been observed that Trump pointedly used “America First” as a slogan in his inaugural speech, a phrase that the Anti-Defamation League has repeatedly asked him to stop using, as it specifically invokes the anti-war group which, under its spokesman Charles Lindbergh, because known as an anti-Semitic Nazi-sympathizing group in 1941.

I assume the cat buttons are intentional, too.

I don’t know how big a deal it was, but it has been pretty well reported.

(Hmm, NYT doesn’t get oneboxed? Well, here’s an excerpt:)

At several inauguration entrance checkpoints, different groups of protesters are locked down. “We have nothing to lose but our chains!” chant the Black Lives Matter protesters, literally using chains to shut down an entrance.

I agree - the outfit she wore was very flattering. So did Michelle Obama’s outfit (as always).

You sure those big areas of blanc aren’t just klansmen wearing their finest sheets?

She’s kind of growing on me. I still hate her rhetoric, but …tiger buttons? That’s so close to a pussy hat.

It’s almost like the weather keeps getting warmer every winter. Weird how that happens.

I wonder if there’s anything about that on the White House website.
