"1814: Washington and the White House Burned to the Ground: One of the greatest catastrophes in the history of the USA took place on this day."

Until 6 January 2021, when a few hundred rioters invaded the Capitol for a few hours and the entire world is in chaos — not only CNN and the NYT but both the UK and US editions of the UK Daily Mail, which devote fully one-half of their infinitely long front pages to disparaging Trump for the horrific disaster.

(The celebs' soft-core-porno side-bar remains intact though; it can be displaced only by gassed Syrian orphans. How long after 20 January do you think before we're fighting the Great Syrian War again?)
