 2009_DC_Inaug_AABall_090120 | 309 | All American Inaugural Ball (2009) @ Westin Washington DC City Center
Seldom in our lifetime is an event of such high importance as to claim a prominent position in history. On January 20th, 2009 the inauguration of America’s 44th President is just such an occasion.
The All American Ball Inaugural Committee is proud to announce that the 4th All American Inaugural Ball... |

| 2009_DC_SIPG_Ball_090118 | 21 | DC -- Donald W. Reynolds Center -- Rentals: Pre-inaugural ball
I have no idea who was supposed to be at this one but it looked interesting! I was told later that it was a fund-raiser event. Some of the period people were part of the Victorian Dance Ensemble. |

Murray Horwitz from AFI got me into this. I froze and Barack didn't get out of his car until a couple of blocks after where I was standing but it was still great. Thanks Murray! |

| 2021_DC_Biden_Flags | 44 | DC -- Exhibit: Field of Flags for Biden inauguration @ National Mall
Because of concerns over additional militant seditious actions by Trump sheep, the Biden inauguration was largely devoid of public participation. To mark this, a Field of Flags was installed on the National Mall representing Americans who could not attend Biden's inauguration. Rouhgly 191,500 US flags... |
| 2016_DC_Democracy_Spring_160411 | 19 | DC -- Exhibit: #DemocracySpring @ U.S. Capitol
News reports varied their estimates of the crowd -- "hundreds", "300+", "400+" and even "thousands". From the democracyspring.org website:
Now is the time to take mass nonviolent action on a historic scale to save our democracy. Following a ten-day, 140-mile march from the Liberty Bell in Philadelphia... |
| 2017_DC_Inaug_170120 | 26 | DC -- Inaugural events (2017) -- Around the Politico event
Given that I was at the Politico inaugural event, I wasn't anywhere near the Mall for the inauguration. Which was fine since I'm not exactly a fan of the new regime. So just a few photos on the way to the Politico event and of the vandalism that happened during the inauguration. |

| 2009_DC_Inaug_Parade_090120 | 50 | DC -- Inaugural parade (2009)
I hadn't tried to see an inauguration since 1993 but this was Barack Obama! It was bitterly cold. The event was delayed because Senator Kennedy had had a seizure in the Capital. And neither Barack nor Joe Biden were outside of their vehicles by the time they reach my position at the Canadian Embassy.... |

| 1980_DC_Anderson_198003 | 17 | DC -- Rally: John Anderson for President (w/Edward Brooke)
I had of course voted for Jimmy Carter in 1976. I wasn't thrilled with the choices in 1980 and decided to vote for John Anderson, a Republican. I lived in Washington DC at the time and you had to register as a specific party so I found myself registering as a Republican. Then, right before the primary... |

When this event was first announced, I thought I might actually agree with Trumpsters but then I realized "justice" didn't mean executing them all. |

After the Trump Loser's Riot, a security perimeter was installed around the Capitol building which gradually expanded to go all the way north to Union Station.

| 2023_DC_Losers_Arraign_230803 | 99 | DC -- Trump Losers Revolt -- Crowd outside the federal courthouse before another of Trump's arraignments
This was for one of the former child president's arraignments. I miss the days when disgraced politicians just killed themselves. I presume he knows he's lying the whole time he denies things but his brain is so Swiss cheesed that maybe he can't admit to himself that he does anything wrong. |

| 2020_DC_Lock_Him_Up_200205 | 11 | DC -- U.S. Capitol -- Protest: Lock Him Up
This was an early protest outside of the capitol that happened on the day that the Senate ignored their oath of impartiality as well as overwhelming impeachment evidence and voted pretty much on party lines to exonerate Trump for the "perfect call" and the cover-up following it. |
