Gotham City Digest: Bastille Day edition

     We will never leave you in the weeds.

     You know I NEVER link to Fox for obvious reasons but this goes to show the desperation with which Republican dead-enders are treating this Mueller probe. You think it's any coincidence they're doing this the day after Rosenstein broke the news about the 12 indictments? Think about it- House Republicans are trying to defend 12 Russian military intelligence spies who'd hacked the DNC, the DCCC and the Clinton campaign with the intention of subverting our presidential election by trying to impeach the Deputy Attorney General of the United States.

      November 6th is the edge of the cliff for these right wing lemmings and the idiots don't even see it.

---

     This makes, what, 250 blank subpoenas Mueller's requested since June 25th? I'm starting to lose count.

---

     Let's get one thing straight- When Trump asked the Russians to hack Hillary's emails, they didn't do it later that day. They already had and Trump already knew it. That removes any plausible deniability, any degree of separation between their actions and his knowledge and intent.

---

     Irony just follows the Trump shit show like Pig Pen's dust cloud. To wit: This dress worn by Melania in London is called "Golden Shower."

---

     Trump takes his domestic shit show on the road- He's playing golf and insulting his self-perceived enemies on Twitter. It's Mar-a-Lago with haggis.

---

     On Bastille Day, remember this- Many immigrant families and their members are languishing in county jails and federal prisons for misdemeanor offenses and often not even that. Whether it's ICE's avowed intention or not, they are indeed on a mission to destroy families. It is evil and ICE needs to be disbanded.

---

     Shorter Trump: "It's Obama's fault he didn't stop me from colluding with the Russians." Which is an excuse a seven year-old would use after getting bagged raiding the cookie jar.

---

     Bret Stephens nails it in yesterday's op-ed. It's driving the right wing nut jobs crazy, which means he's right in what he says about Trump's noxious brand of isolationism.

---

     I wonder when people are going to start demanding that Mitch McConnell and Rand Paul give back the money they got from racist dirtbag Papa John. And finally...

---

     I'm sure Hillary sent the woodchucks to eat Paul Ryan's car.

     And just when you thought the news couldn't possibly get any weirder this week.
