The past few weeks have been a flaming parade float of bad news, so today’s post is basically a bookmarks-and-tweets landfill. Call it Friday News Dump’s trashy cousin — the one who shows up uninvited and drinks all your cheap beer.

Remember when Los Angeles was teetering on full dystopia, only to be “saved” by President Micro-Penis calling in the guard against the state’s wishes to arrest violent rioters? Because nothing says competent leadership like unilateral power flexes and delayed heroism.
