Why are we not seeing crowd size estimates reported?

[Nevilledog]

Why is trump being allowed to say the protests were smaller than expected?

This is really bothering me.

[Blue Owl]

1. He's talking about his mushroom again...

Smaller than expected.

[PCIntern]

3. Dickless strikes again...

He’s such a loser.

2. No one likes to make them anymore

Whoever does it always gets blasted. It’s more trouble than it’s worth for most organizations,

4. Could be...

His envy that the turnouts are many, many times larger than his rallies, inauguration, etc. plays into it, but this is also is just his constant, contrarian, Hitler-esque barrage.

He can't even turn it off now. It's Gobblesmania all the way. That is leading him to overdue it so much that it is loosing the teeth it once had to bite with, so that's good. If he keeps going this way with the bullshit dial on high only his vapid followers will be feeding off the vomit he spews.

5. But it allows him to advance his argument that his use/display of force is working.

Number estimates help us to show this isn't going away. It's a pushback to his lies.

You and I have seen the videos of the crowd sizes, but what about the low info voters?

6. The protests were not expected and there have been

Millions of people all over the world are protesting. Fuck that criminal pos.

[Nevilledog]

7. Then why are we not fighting back with those numbers when they try to minimize the protests?

[onecaliberal]

8. I've been watching CNN and they comment every day about how many people are there.

It’s a question for the media but you can google. There ARE protests in all 50 states and several other countries. I’m exhausted and done caring about the lie of the fucking moment. If they put any of that effort into solutions we’d be on to something.

9. We should call Spicey

Sean Spicer and ask him to estimate it for us.

[Nevilledog]

11. "Crowd sizes much smaller than the Great American Re-Open patriotic demonstrations!"

[Talitha]

13. Oh that's wicked... I like it!

Poor Spicey, will he ever be able to live it down?

[leftieNanner]

15. And after I posted that remark

I of course had to go pull up the You Tubes of Melissa McCarthy on SNL as Spicey. They make me howl with laughter every time! "Moose Lambs".

[Raine]

10. They stopped doing that much years ago

it was too controversial.

[Nevilledog]

12. Then they should use better descriptions.

Huge! Enormous! Stupendous!

For some reason them saying "tens of thousands" irks me. May just be a personal foible.

[leftyladyfrommo]

14. They just jeep saying thousands and thousands. nt

[Delphinus]

16. Even in my

mid-size city, the newspaper isn't always saying how many people are attending the daily protests.

[zak247]

17. Numbers

They aren't too high actually at the protests. Just look it's really not a lot of people save in Minnesota where they've had a lot of numbers there.

CNN and MSNBC love their ratings so they won't advertise that the protests aren't that big.

[Nevilledog]

20. You might wanna check out the videos of major cities. Its way beyond Minnesota.

[zak247]

21. Stay home

Personally I wish they’d go home or stay home. Likely its the COVID itself swelling the marches, nothing else to do.

For the sake of COVID spread and its to much IMO.

[malaise]

18. I heard that because of Covid-19 the park folks

aren't around

[SouthernCal_Dem]

19. Don't let Trump's trolling bother you

He's nothing more than a glorified internet troll.

His goal is to annoy you and get under your skin.

Don't let it happen.

[Hortensis]

22. We know the DC Park Service follows his orders these days,

including lying on his behalf and to hide their malfeasance.

Guessing, what police department needs to wantonly anger their communities/states' Republican leaderships? Even well meaning ones, a pick-your-fight situation.
