This day will live in infamy. A small regional office of BLM in Bloomington, IN was firebombed last night. Such brazen acts of POLITICAL VIOLENCE should never be tolerated in a free society like America. This will rightfully lead every news show for months. There will be daily riots in cities across the country, at least until November 5th. Anyone who doubts how dangerous Republicans have become can just SIT DOWN AND SHUT UP now. Next week there will be Super Bowl ads from multiple corporations denouncing right wing nationalism, racism, and hate. Democrats will use this BRAZEN ACT OF TERRORISM to be sure that no Republican wins office this year, in any state. Some things simply cannot be tolerated.

Oh, wait a second. I misread the headline. The firebombing wasn't at a Black Lives Matter office in Bloomington. It was the offices of three conservative organizations in Minneapolis. Ah. Um, ok, never mind. You can just act like nothing happened. Because as you're about to see, nothing really did. This is not a day that will live in infamy. This is just another day. You can go back to whatever you were doing before.

Anyway, speaking of the Super Bowl, I wonder who will win? I like the Chiefs, but I really get tired of them showing Taylor Swift cheering every time her boyfriend scores a touchdown. That really pisses me off. I'm going to start an online petition demanding that the TV stations keep that rich white lady off the air. That's just wrong. Somebody has to do something.

* sigh *

I just can't imagine what it will take to get Americans to wake up and recognize how serious our situation has become.

They just had the head of American Experiment on local talk radio. He's getting attention from everywhere except the liberal local media. All kinds of talk shows, and Australian media. I tried googling it, and barely anything came up. They will be in temporary offices for months. Terrible.

I haven't seen this on CNN yet.
They're probably doing a feature on this later today...

Or tomorrow. Or next week. Or maybe never?

The Center for the American Experiment has 22 employees. I'm not sure how big the Upper Midwest law Center is, but they raise a lot of hell, too. That is likely going to be a very messy situation to move temporarily like that.
