Gotham City Digest, No Honor Among Thieves edition
"Why, I'm shocked, SHOCKED there is persistent corruption here!"
"Sir, here are your kickbacks."
"Oh, thank you."
Speaking of no honor among thieves, look who else just got immunity from federal prosecutors. Wow. They're handing out immunity deals like Halloween candy. Allen Weisselberg, the CFO who's been running Trump's empire for like forever, is also about to roll over on the fat man. And in lieu of Republicans using a 1924 law to gain access to Trump's tax returns, Weisselberg may prove to be the government's best shot at getting their hands the tax returns he's been refusing to hand over for better than two years now. And who besides Trump is better positioned to have those tax returns on file but Weisselberg?
Trump's inner circle is selling him out one by one. Cohen, Pecker, Omarosa, Weisselberg. This is what eventually happens when you demand loyalty from others without giving it in return.
As I say often, I love it when right wingers eat their own such as when Neil Cavuto destroyed Trump on Fox last night. But I've always wondered about what they do about that nasty aftertaste.
Even the greatest warriors eventually meet an enemy they can't defeat. John McCain finally found his. I honestly feel guilty about everything I ever wrote about him a decade ago. And I do sincerely hope the senator's transition is as painless as possible. Unlike Trump and his birther conspiracy, when a woman called Obama a Muslim from Kenya in 2008, McCain wanted no part of it.
Racist twats lose another one. I wrote about this a few days ago, of a proposal to close down seven polling places out of nine in a heavily African American county. And it's no coincidence that one of Kemp's biggest campaign contributors was the one who'd first proposed closing those seven polling places in Randolph County, a county in which 60% of the electorate are African American. And as a final coup de grace, when the two member committee refused to allow the closures, they also terminated the contract of the racist asshole who'd first proposed it.
Fox poll shows most Americans want a path to citizenship for undocumented immigrants. Trump's base ironically accuses Fox of fake news. I love it when these right wing lunatics eat their own. This is even better than Duncan Hunter throwing his wife under the bus.
The witches are coming, the witches are coming! Welcome to 1692 Salem, Massachusetts, which in some ways was still more forward thinking than latter day Alabama.
Is the Republican Party too big to be considered a Fifth Column? And finally...
