No other president has had to fortify the White House
Loving Trumpers who're like "what about James fucking Madison you POS" and I'm sorry that I didn't feel it needed to be spelled out—amid a news cycle about Trump fortifying WH before the election—that I was discussing w/r/t elections, and not the War of 1812.

Dunning-Kruger.
"We closed off Pennsylvania Avenue after 9/11!!"

Yes, man-children, I am aware.

Not really the same thing as cowering from your own people because you're trying to steal an election, is it.
Lotta fucking men put "historian" in their bio with scant evidence of any actual teaching or scholarship.

Watching the History Channel doesn't count.

Deputies with NC's @SheriffAlamance pepper spray peaceful protestors on a GOTV march including ministers, the elderly, and small kids. newsobserver.com/news/local/art…
This is the Sheriff's statement. And, oh, they also arrested reporters documenting this abuse:
Totally normal equipment to be wearing when a march of voters with their kids in tow go to the courthouse:

The thing is...

Anybody who was alive and in and around journalism in Shalit’s heyday could have known this would end badly. Exactly the same kind of shit and subsequent excuses that happened back then. Exactly.
“Through her attorney, Sloane informed us that she does not, in fact, have a son. We have independently corroborated that Sloane does not have a son, and we have corrected the story to remove the reference to her having a son.”

My god.
Also...I haven’t lived in DC since the early 90s but I can assure you that her behavior back then—and that of those who initially covered for it—utterly transfixed and enraged a generation of her journalistic peers.

She still owes Klaidman a real fucking apology, for one thing.

1/ Utah will not flip blue. But voters there have defied their conservative supermajority to demand big progressive changes. And mobilized a lot of new voters in the process. Sound familiar?

2/ Think of this piece as either a harbinger how Dems win on 11/3 or a blueprint for how they proceed if the GOP's scheme to thwart the popular vote succeeds. By @billgifford
