If Russia wins the World Cup, will Trump invite its team to the White House?

NY Times endorsing Zephyr Teachout for attorney general and Andy Cuomo for governor is like endorsing Elliot Ness...and Al Capone.

...in #NYT piece "Should Art That Angers Remain on View?" #RobertaSmith calls idea of censoring or destroying Dana Schutz painting...

...#OpenCasket "abhorrent" BUT says "For me...the ground kept shifting" on what to do about the painting. #RobertaSmith also suggests...

...that #Whitney "frame a possibly controversial work of art through labels or programming"—TRIGGER WARNINGS! for the museum...

...#RobertaSmith claims "Many people" are "in the messy middle, seeing both sides, grasping for precedents." What are the precedents...

...for destroying a painting in the #Whitney ? Yes, people are in "the middle," i.e., moral twilight. Should be job of #NYT art critic...

...to dispel that twilight, and stand against appalling threats to censor or destroy a work of art. #OpenCasket

Also, #RobertaSmith does not mention other assertion of would-be art vandal careerists in #WhitneyBiennial censorship, which is that...

...free speech and self-expression for "white people" are not "natural rights." Is the #NYT neutral on this??? Or just #RobertaSmith ?

#NewOrleans Frank B. Stewart compares taking down Jeff Davis statue with tearing down pyramids or Colosseum in Rome... #JeffDavis

...with all due respect pyramids NOT "built entirely from slave labor" and did not simply celebrate their builders but...#JeffDavis #NOLA

...were things of beauty in their own right. #JeffDavis statue is NOT something built by slaves but a tribute to an avowed traitor...#NOLA

...as for what enslaved people built in US? LOOK ALL AROUND YOU: It is this nation. Nobody is taking it down, though #JeffDavis #NOLA...

...wanted to. Statues of #JeffDavis and other see-sech in #NOLA were put up to deliberately celebrate "white supremacy" in #JimCrow era...

...and for that matter, Mr. Stewart, #RomanColosseum WAS stripped of much of its splendor to build #Vatican. Bad choice? #JeffDavis #NOLA
