Damn you Trump!
i certainly hope no protestors are fucking Ghandi. he's dead. that would be incredibly distasteful.

The election of Trump definitely broke a few brains around here, but I don't think you can really blame him for the insanity of the worst of the rioters. their minds were consumed already.

Phillipa Soo's close listening has come up with zero "yes ma'am"s heard.

I knew it! Phillipa Soo's tweet is just noise only suitable for bad jokes.
What are you supposed to do with that information than write a bad standup bit?

I may have been a bit hasty with my criticisms. The chaos seems to be doing wonders for my crypto.

:haha:

It's been interesting to watch the evolution. The feds went from no protection, to cheap fencing, to those heavier panels, to welding them together, to putting guys on the roof to lob smoke grenades.

Meanwhile the protesters have brought in shield walls, foam to block the cops' view through the fence, la crosse rackets, lasers, leaf blowers, etc. Last night the protestors brought power tools and finally got the fence down again.


Wonder what they'll do tonight.

Maybe Trump could hire more gestapo officers.
Everything's perfectly all right now. We're fine. We're all fine here, now, thank you. How are you?
