Crowds in Baltimore will be cut off at 35,000-all waiting for the train

in freezing temperatures to catch a glimpse of our real president and vice president, finally.

I hope our new leaders at least stop and give a speech. What a testament to their popularity.

Edit to add, heard it on cnn.

13. down from 5m I'm sure. They successfully scared me off
The lack of restrooms & cold weather reports combined with the prospect of sharing the mall with 5 million others scared me away. :cry:

15. Actually its a blessing that 5M are not showing up..
It would have been chaos. 2M will be tough enough.
