Ah. A new cliche.

Political discourse is riddled with military and sports cliches.

But there's on from higher mathematics, too, perhaps normalized through its use in the math of economics, spread out into the general vocabulary of business.

"Inflection point".

On Morning Joe, the line is that the protesters are a revival of the Obama coalition, are "extremely diverse", are often visibly more white than anything else, etc..

All four cops have been indicted.

Obama on TV yesterday urged implementation of the policing plan that his administration crafted, that he left behind, that Trump scuttled along with all of O's most important provisions for dealing with a pandemic.

The tone of discussion in the non-Trumpist media is more optimistic and less alarmed than in the earliest days of rioting.
