[erinlough]

7. According to the White House web site it began at 4:30 pm so if this is hours before

It may must have been taken yesterday. It is dark in this photo.

The National Tree Lighting ceremony was beautiful this evening - but hard not to notice the empty seats. #Christmas #DMV #USA

29. It's already dark. I thought the lighting happens at dusk.

[Honeycombe8]

34. I've since learned that the pic is indeed accurate. It's everywhere, and has been vetted. nt

31. So Is The One On The Right

It's still daylight in that photo. The Obama tree lightings didn't happen in the day time.

[DoctorJoJo]

18. I Understand There Were ....

... thousands turned away by the Secret Service for security reasons. Doesn't that sound like a typical excuse for Donnie Dimwit?

20. Have no fear...

By tomorrow that photo will be doctored up and the place will be standing room only!

Who knows? If he gets agitated enough over the crowd size, it might be enough to send him over the edge. Howling at the moon in the Rose Garden. I rather like that thought. Maybe then somebody will DO SOMETHING TO stop our national nightmare.

25. But, but, I thought this was the greatest crowd

ever to turn out for a tree lighting.

dotard, you want a crowd wait until impeachment proceedings begin.
