Mourning in America 12 (of 12)

Mourning in America draws to a close as the content of Trump's speech is digested. I literally used the entirety of Trump's inaugural speech and added little flourishes here and there to clarify a few of the passages as I understood it to mean. Over all, the ratio was 65/35 to Trump's actual words to my additions to the speech. I was actually down there that day to hand out copies of Magic Bullet so I saw firsthand just how empty DC really was compared to previous inaugurations. My Metro car never filled beyond 50% capacity. For contrast, a typical workday in DC, the Metro cars are ALWAYS filled to capacity.

That he would choose that particular point to blatantly lie about is just sad, bizarre, and actually troubling. I'm convinced that the next four years are going to be a masterclass in Gaslighting 101.

Tomorrow, we switch to a 2 page installment set at the Inaugural Luncheon. And this is where I either straddle that line of tasteless and art or cross those lines several times. I can never tell.
