Today someone sent me hate email in all caps so I told him that I had a disorder where I couldn't read capital letters and he retyped the whole thing in lowercase.

- Trump says the pandemic of 1918 which he says occurred in 1917 ended the Second World War, which ended in 1945.
- "If there's global warming why is it still cold in winter??" is the rhetorical equivalent of "if there was evolution why are there still monkeys??"
- A notable shift downward in projected deaths from coronavirus is already being spun as "experts were wrong!!" instead of "hey, the thing experts said would drive down deaths might be driving down deaths." washingtonpost.com/politics/2020/…
- Remember the ballots found in a river? Didn't happen. The military ballots in the trash? Not fraud. Over and over, Trump and his allies hype allegations to create a cloud of suspicion and over and over they don't hold up.
- We're inured to it, but the president publicly calling someone a drugged-up loser while heading to the golf course he owns as past presidents head to a former first lady's memorial service is something.
- Counting ballots isn't a change in the election results. It *is* the election results.
- A dark day: If they can indict Trump for taking classified documents to his house that he knew were classified and that he refused to give back and that he lied about giving back then they can indict ANYONE for doing that.
- Replying to @pbumpAlso, Biden didn't actually "take the lead." These votes were always cast. Assuming nothing wild happens, Biden led the whole time. It just looked like he didn't because of the order in which the votes were counted.
- Not only is Trump not Person of the Year, he is mentioned in the piece as both a harasser and a motivation to speak out. time.com/time-person-of…
- Five years ago this morning.Are you allowed to impeach a president for gross incompetence?
- It's never good news when a bunch of people learn the name of a boat.
