I’m paraphrasing, but I liked this:

A revolution ... to keep the President in power. To continue wars and tax cuts to corporations and the wealthy

Wow, I guess Tao is getting really bored in the off-season.

Scarborough’s live rant on MSNBC earlier today. Not where I would have chosen to put that F bomb, but whew, it’s a good one.

This is too good.

Top rant. Fucking shameful security.

Can't help but wonder if Trump would have liked a few more supporters to have been shot.

No way they should have ended up being face to face with secret service.

Very good interview with some journalists caught up in yesterday's events.

I'm gonna be honest, I expected worse. At least there's no erect Trump this time

If Antifa was really behind this then they would have been wearing some of those pesky masks that conceal your identity when committing federal crimes

To name but one of the myriad problems with it. It’s a whole web of political and social dynamics that have been rampantly deconstructing society as we know it/knew it. With some distance (50/100 years? Less I hope.) I think we’ll see social media as one of the most destructive pieces of technology of our time.
