Ever heard of the Washington Generals? The Harlem Globetrotters' rivals. They're paid to lose, because they're owned by the same people, and they abide by standard rules and will never interfere with Globetrotters' antics. They've lost 16,000 games.
Anyway, hope Chuck Schumer's having a good day.

Photo by Pierre Lavie. Yes this is me. And I threw my Leica. It landed on the bass plate with hardly a scratch. Another Photographer grabbed it along with my phone and I was able to track him later. I was held face down tear gas deployed right in front of me and pepper sprayed directly into the eye.

Hearing even a *reference* to The Monster Mash ANY time of the year is infuriating. The song absolutely sucks and modern civilization shouldn’t even be aware of it. You should not and cannot and MUST NOT defend it. Let the worms of history finally have their feast.

THEY ARENT SCARED ABOUT THE ELECTORATE THEY ARE SCARED OF LOSING DONORS YOU IDIOTS
" Democrats are so worried about alienating a small slice of the electorate that they’re hesitating to condemn the most abusive act yet by a historically unpopular president from the opposing party." newrepublic.com/article/1996...
The Democrats’ Self-Destructive Fear of the Swing Voter
The party is responding to Trump’s authoritarian abuses with timid messaging that sounds as if it’s been poll-tested to death—because it probably has been.
