WATCH LIVE: A Giant Foam Blob Has Been Unleashed in Santa Clara, California

There’s a giant foam cloud in Santa Clara, California and it’s captivating people around the nation.

The foam accidentally discharged from a fire suppression system at a hangar at the San Jose airport.

Fox2 reports:

As of 12:30 p.m., the foam was deeper than 5′ in some areas.

A KTVU crew is told the foam appears to be some type of fire retardant. A witness told KTVU the fire system malfunctioned when the foam was released.

The foam is blocking several businesses and has completely covered some cars in the area.

Police are at the scene. There seems to be confusion about what to do next, and how to remove the massive amount of foam from the street.

A bicyclist also rode through the foam.

Steve Bannon Praises Dick Cheney, Darth Vader, Satan: ‘Darkness is Good’

Steve Bannon is totally OK with you thinking he embraces the dark side. Because he does.

In an interview with The Hollywood Reporter, the infamous white supremacist, former head of Breitbart ‘News’ and soon-to-be Chief Strategist for president-elect Trump said, “Darkness is good.”

More from THR:

“Dick Cheney. Darth Vader. Satan. That’s power. It only helps us when they—“ I believe by “they” he means liberals and the media, already promoting calls for his ouster “—get it wrong. When they’re blind to who we are and what we’re doing.”

It’s the Bannon theme, the myopia of the media, that it tells only the story that confirms its own view, that in the end it was incapable of seeing an alternative outcome and of making a true risk assessment of the political variables — reaffirming the Hillary Clinton camp’s own political myopia. This defines the parallel realities in which liberals, in their view of themselves, represent a morally superior character and Bannon — immortalized on Twitter as a white nationalist, racist, anti-Semite thug — the ultimate depravity of Trumpism.

Bannon also railed against the “donor class” which he also characterized as “ascendant America,” or people that live inside “the metrosexual bubble” of urban areas.

As for the charges that he is a bigot, he says, “I’m not a white nationalist, I’m a nationalist. I’m an economic nationalist.”

A Brief History Of Incoming Attorney General Jeff Sessions’ Horrific Antigay Record

Jeff Sessions. Jeff f-ing Sessions. That is who Donald Trump has tapped to be our nation’s next Attorney General.

A lot has been written about this 69-year-old reported Klan-sympathizer and junior Senator from Alabama who is set to replace our nation’s first African American woman ever to serve as AG.

And, as is often the case with racists, he’s also a total homophobe. Sessions scores an impressive zero percent by the HRC. He has consistently voted against advancements in LGBTQ rights for nearly 20 years, and has made a number of off-color comments about gay people, as well.

Related: Why Won’t Sen. Jeff Sessions Support a DADT Policy For High School Locker Rooms?

Let’s take a quick look a this voting record when it comes to the most important LGBTQ issues:

• In 2000, Sessions voted against an amendment that would expand the definition of hate crimes to include sexual orientation. He voted against it a second time in 2002.
• In 2004 and again in 2006, Sessions voted in favor of advancing the Federal Marriage Amendment, which would defined marriage across the entire  United States as a union of one man and one woman.
• In 2010, Sessions voted against repealing Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell.
• In 2011, Sessions spoke out against President Obama and in defense of DOMA.

But it’s not just Sessions’ voting record that is, frankly, deplorable. He’s also made a number of homophobic comments over the years, for instance:

• When asked about the appointment of an openly gay Supreme Court justice in 2010, Sessions relied: “I do not think that a person who acknowledges that they have gay tendencies is disqualified, per se, for the job [but] that would be a big concern that the American people might feel uneasy about that.”
• Also in 2010, Sessions said allowing gay soldiers to serve openly in the military would “add additional burden” on straight soldiers who are already under a lot of stress fighting in war zones.
• In 2011, when speaking in favor of DOMA, Sessions called same-sex marriage “very troubling” and “unacceptable.”
• In 2015, Sessions called the Supreme Court’s ruling on marriage equality “problematic,” adding that “anybody that denies that doesn’t understand law.”

Elizabeth Warren Eviscerates Trump on the Senate Floor: ‘I Am Ready to Fight’ – WATCH

Elizabeth Warren blasted president-elect Donald Trump on Thursday for putting white supremacists in the White House and lying to millions of Americans about his plan to ‘drain the swamp.’

Trump has filled his transition team with what Warren called ‘swamp monsters’, lobbyists with ties to big business and Wall Street who, as Politico notes, represent “an investment bankers’ dream.”

Warren said that Trump has proven that his populist promise to the American people “is worth nothing.”

She added, “I am ready to fight on behalf of the millions of Americans you have lied to.  That includes the millions who voted for you and the millions who didn’t.”

Watch, below.
