That's a common camera trick, Hank. It's commonly used to reduce budget costs in movies with lower budgets by adopting a lower angle. Posted it earlier.Hank Scorpio wrote: »Here's a photo of Trump's inauguration
Here's the photo being spread over twitter from places like Vox and other left wing sites/cdn0.vox-cdn.com/uploads/chorus_asset/file/7842537/Screen_Shot_2017_01_20_at_11.04.49_AM.png)
Not really. Here is the photo comparison of Trump's inauguration compared to Obama's, and below is a screenshot of the crowd at it's peak (right before dispersing, so would likely be during Trump's time on stage). They're pretty much identical.
The angle from the podium makes the crowd look bigger because the lower angle blocks out the blank spaces, it's a technique used in lower budget movies that need scenes with big crowds.

I would counter that they are protecting Democracy and the Office of the President exactly as the founding fathers of the US planned
“To announce that there must be no criticism of the President, or that we are to stand by the President, right or wrong, is not only unpatriotic and servile, but is morally treasonable to the American public.”0 -

You can do, But I'm asking from the sacred document. Did the founding farther stipulate their legal opinion. Using the constitution as the base of their argument may well be massively flawed.0 -

He is a paid stooge who said that he wouldn't lie and would quit if he did !!! LOL now lets see if he will keep his word (Given the character of the people surrounding him in the WH I think the answer is a big no!). As I said for the non American this is first class comedy of the farce variety
They should include piped in canned laughter over the top of his press conference on Monday

No different than the lies told by previous press officers although they may have been more subtle, that's what he's paid to do. Only difference now is much higher scrutiny because of the war between Trump and the media. This storyline would be much different without those Wikileak releases.0 -

No, stating something that clearly is not true is lying. Unless you're claiming Trump's press secretary would not have seen the clearly obvious picture (the below is taken from the peak of Trump's audience)? 0 -

He lied. He lied about the crowd size and he lied that it was the biggest inauguration TV audience ever. Ronnie R had the biggest TV audience ever. in the course of the first few minutes of that press briefing on his first day he destroyed his credibility and today we have his co-team member come out with the classic line of "Alternative Truth". I wouldn't blame the poor sod if he pulled a sicky tomorrow 0 -

What Data did he present ? That's just an opinion. Like Enda and the Army. Seems a very very high standard.0 -

Well he forgot the first rule of "Alternative Truth", don't make it obvious that you are lying. The only other thing we needed was his nose growing at the same time! LOL this is priceless.
Ah the Wikileaks of those Russian hacks Yep you are so right the Russians did help to elect the Orange one.
Oh I do agree with you, I am absolutely positive that the Press Secretaries of numerous other admins, if not all have lied as well but lets be honest I don't recall one as blatantly obvious as Saturdays.0 -

Jesus It could open a can of worms on Barry and his closing of Guantánamo. Did he not promise to shut that down. Is it only OK when your guy does it ?0 -
