Crazy.

People are looting for no reason. What was peaceful has turned crazy. Most people are still peaceful, but they are standing around videoing the looters.

What's going on? Did Donald stroke out or what? Or is he running around naked blubbering obscenities?

What are they hiding?

Not wishing anyone's demise but I would have thought important buildings are lit up 24/7/365. Or maybe it's just a depiction of the chief residents heart.

Donald Trump and his enablers walked in and decided to squat in place. They've filled every room with unrelenting darkness.

Never forget, never forgive.

Trump: “Maybe if we turn off the lights they’ll think we’re not home and then they’ll go away.”

All his sycophants: “Good idea boss! Let’s all hide!”

They'll try to make their swift exit from the roof.

Where to? Camp David? Mar-a-Loco? His NJ bunkers?
