“I told them once, I told them a hundred times: put ‘Military Parade’ first and ‘Puppet Show’ last”

When even the NYT refuses to bothsides it:

The energy level at the military parade here is a bit desultory. The crowds are calm and light, a bit sapped after waiting in the oppressive D.C. humidity for hours to make it to this point, and it’s now spitting rain. The announcer stopped with the neat history lesson just now and an instrumental version of Heart’s “Barracuda” is being blasted over the loudspeakers.

This whole farce would be gloriously pathetic even without the contrast of massive crowds at anti-Trump rallies, and Trump seems to know it:

I’m beginning to think a narrow plurality win in unusual circumstances does not signal a permanent Republican governing mandate.
