Welcome Back to Pottersville: Gotham City Digest, 10/4/18

Where we don't swallow everything spooged out by Trump and the FBI.

Remember Tony Schwartz, the guy who was actually Trump's secret autobiographer, the one who really wrote The Art of the Deal? Well, Schwartz has been a boil on Trump's fat pasty ass ever since he was spreading his idiocy all over the country on the campaign trail like the communicable disease it is. Well, Schwartz kicked it up a notch and called for the entire Trump family to be thrown in prison. Well, as admirable as is that dream, there's still such a thing as due process, which is also waiting in the wings.

Rogue bat makes big bad deplorables scream in terror at Trump rally. Thank God the Bat Light's not busted, after all.

Oh and speaking of the Caped Crusader... Christian Bale's playing Dick Cheney in a not very flattering biopic of the 43rd president.

So basically, Bale had gone from playing one rich American psycho to another.

OK, Grassley, we'll see your 65 and raise you 96.

There are so many things that are wrong with this article, I couldn't even begin to enumerate them. In his opening paragraph, he pre-emptively takes swipes at the left for reading his article "with glee." There's no glee in seeing conservatives write articles about a man who'd be such a bad fit in a Supreme Court already stuffed with right wing ideologues. Kavanaugh's very nomination is a moral failing on Trump's part, hence an indictment on the moral failing of a nation that saw fit to elect that buffoon into the Oval Office. He makes feeble protests against Kavanaugh's partisanship during his whiny 45 minute-long opening statement but none about his partisanship during the travesty of the Clinton impeachment, of which Kavanaugh was a significant part. He even holds out a reasonable suspicion that Kavanaugh may actually be innocent of the charges, which automatically undercuts his equally feeble assertion of his belief in Dr. Ford's own testimony.

This is why Congress ought to pass a bill prohibiting the Executive Branch from setting the parameters of an FBI investigation. Politicians shouldn't tell cops how to do (or in this case, NOT do) their jobs, especially those already under investigation by the DOJ.

Trump's redneck rallies are just Two Minutes Hates disguised as Don Rickles standup routines sans the humor. Trump might as well have said, "A white man's life is in tatters."

Like Thanos snapping his fingers, some of us got Trump's alert, some of us didn't. This is the one I got.

Yuge, I'm tellin' ya. Like big as a baby's arm yuge.

How the fuck is this not obstruction of justice and at least witness tampering?

When I read articles such as this about right wing sadism, it makes me want to outdo them and make them twice as miserable. And I don't like feeling that way.

Another federal judge stops Trump from marching us into Nazi Germany. Why? It's the Equal Protection clause in the Constitution, stupid.

Essentially, it boils down to, If you personally knew Brett Kavanaugh, you won't be interviewed by the FBI. This so-called investigation was spiked from the start by Trump. 40+ people have reached out to the FBI about Kavanaugh and not a single. One. Of. Them. was contacted. It's a fishing expedition without bait. This is just one of them, Brett Kavanaugh's freshman roommate talking to Anderson Cooper. Seriously, Chuck Grassley can find 65 women in days to vouch for Kavanaugh but the FBI couldn't interview more than a handful of people?

Really, guys, does this surprise anyone? Here's the breakdown- Donnie Dumbo gets himself into financial trouble in the early 90's. Then he tries to steal the Old Man's money by demanding he be handed power of attorney over his estate. This seems perfectly consistent with a "man", for want of a better word, that would defraud his own 85 year-old father just to cover his own financial losses. He really is a sociopathic scumbag of the first magnitude.

I don't think Republican "men" have ever moved past writing, "For a good time, call..." on junior high bathroom stalls. And professional scumbag Lanny Lancaster is among them. And to further illustrate my point...

Right wingers. They got nothing. Nothing but fear-mongering, threats, inept propaganda and intimidation tactics. I guaran-fucking-tee you every one of those right wing nut bags who wished rape on Doug Jones' female staff were Roy Moore supporters.

Of course, the driver wasn't arrested for putting nine people in the hospital because, you know, Michigan, the place where the Nazi Party went to die.

By now, you may have heard that the FBI wrapped up its "investigation" into Brett Kavanaugh and found no corroboration that he tried to rape anyone (that's a certainty when you're forbidden from questioning the victims). But Bloomberg says senators aren't even allowed to read the #FBIReport. They're having it read to them as if they're children hearing a fucking bedtime story. Naturally, Susan Collins and Jeff Flake are hailing this dog and pony show as if it's a Shakespearean play at the Old Vic.

I have it on pretty good authority the person who wrote the #FBIReport is the same who said Trump was sane and weighed 239 pounds. And finally...

I can understand misogynistic right wing voters hating on Heitkamp for her No vote on Kavanaugh. So why aren't more progressive voters in North Dakota voting for her? Oh yeah, vote caging of Native American voters.
