Just reported: Brave Chuck Schumer and Courageous Kristin Gillibrand call for Cuomo to resign after everyone else in the world has already done so.

Obviously, they only mention grabbing women by the boobies, and not murdering 15,552 people:

The two put out a damning joint statement saying Cuomo has "lost the confidence" to govern.

"Confronting and overcoming the Covid crisis requires sure and steady leadership. We commend the brave actions of the individuals who have come forward with serious allegations of abuse and misconduct," Schumer and Gilibrand said.

"Due to the multiple, credible sexual harassment and misconduct allegations, it is clear that Governor Cuomo has lost the confidence of his governing partners and the people of New York. Governor Cuomo should resign," they said.

A "crypto art" piece, which I think is made into a singular item by the inclusion of a block-chain/cryptocurrency style signature code, just sold for $69 million.

Digital art has never really had a market because you can only buy copies, not the actual art itself.

But if one and only one item has the code authenticating it as "genuine," I guess then that makes it possible to speculate in digital art?

Christie's caused a stir on Thursday when it auctioned off a piece of digital art -- a JPG file -- for more than $69 million. Now it has revealed the buyer who shelled out a fortune for digital artist Mike Winkelmann's "Everydays: The First 5000 Days."

The founder of nonfungible token (NFT) fund Metapurse bought the piece, Christie's announced Friday. The buyer, who goes by the pseudonym Metakovan, said the piece is worth multiples of what they paid for it.

"When you think of high-valued NFTs, this one is going to be pretty hard to beat. And here's why -- it represents 13 years of everyday work. Techniques are replicable and skill is surpassable, but the only thing you can't hack digitally is time," Metakovan said. "This is the crown jewel, the most valuable piece of art for this generation. It is worth $1 billion."

I'd say that's preposterous but I've been wrong on everything involving crypto so whatever.

Minneapolis attempted to buy protection from rioters and arsonists by giving George Floyd's family $27 million dollars, which is roughly one million times what this lifelong criminal's life was worth.

They should pay the family off in the same counterfeit 20 dollar bills he was trying to pass to diligent shopowners -- which is straight-up theft from them.

People act like the cops just showed up to pound on this guy. No, cops are lazy. Cops were called by shopowners because a large, intimidating man was passing them counterfeit bills, stealing from them, and they did not dare confront the thief themselves.

So they did the right thing and called the cops.

And then rioters destroyed their businesses and have seized control of the streets and land around their businesses.

He didn't die because of a cop. He died because he stuffed a pound of narcotics up his asshole like it was Meth-head Thanksgiving and he was the main course.

And Minneapolis will burn again.

And the media will say: "This is all due to right-wing provocateurs and Trump's white supremacy messaging."

And the FBI -- those straight-shooters who you should trust with your very lives -- will back the media up, because they're nothing but Filthy Dirty Democrat Political Operatives With Guns and Warrants who Will Put You In Jail or Put You in the Ground If You Anger Their Deep State Masters.

High schooler: "If the first quarantine didn’t work, what makes people think the second one will?"

"I mean, I feel for me there is more fear, like I wake up every day and I -- I just hope everyone's like when this is over but when will this be over? We don't know. There is just so much -- there's so much left to question. But why can't? Why are we questioning? We have so much technology, so many resources to end this. And I don't know why we aren't. If the first quarantine didn’t work, what makes people think the second one will? If we get kids back in school the transition to getting life back to normal will be that much easier."

Whoa, someone is asking for evidence from someone wearing a White Coat! Burn the Science-Witch!

Progressives are writing songs about their bitter disappointment in Biden.

I can understand their feeling disappointed by the dying-brain r@pist.

This is a rapper/singer/songwriter named Azealia Banks.

A lot of people are getting very sick of White Wealthy Liberal Karens, both male and female, and their weird obsession with evangelizing for transgenderism.
