ABOVE: First day of early voting in NYC — eight-minute walk from beginning to end of this massive line. Just one location! Yeah, the popular vote is secured for Biden/Harris. Let's keep the pedal to the metal on the Electoral College vote, and to run up the score. Share the video!
We are now at a place in U.S. history where there exists a group of white men known as the Boogaloo Bois who take their name from the fact that they wish to cause a second Civil War — a sequel, if you will — and therefore are riffing on the title of the '80s classic Breakin' 2: Electric Boogaloo.
And another of them has just been charged with doing something I'm willing to bet few white conservatives will believe — shooting up a Minneapolis police precinct after setting it on fire, all in order to make to look like a BLM/George Floyd protect had become violent.

I didn't see anything as trajectory-changing.

Producer and artist Mirwais is debuting his edgy animated short My Generation, including the Trump-thrashing song “2016 - My Generation” from his upcoming album, The Retrofuture.
The ending quote is from the late, great philosopher Bertrand Russell, who coined the phrase:
Love is wise, hatred is foolish.

Are we really believing Stahl told him they'd have a “lovely interview”? (Image via video still)
“You're president — don't you think you should be accountable to the American people?” Lesley Stahl asked Trump when he began throwing a tantrum over her tough interview questions. Silly her — he does not believe in accountable to anyone in any way.
