Gotham City Digest

(Where we promise that, when we show up for work, we won't be absent.)

     Sewer Rat Barbie just violated the Hatch Act, with impunity, two more times.

     You can't give intelligence training to those who eschew intelligence itself. The money shot: "The training lasted several weeks and ended with the operative, Euripides Rubio Jr., reportedly quitting because the group 'wasn’t capable of learning'.”
      Yes, you read that right- Euripides Rubio Jr. That means there's a Euripides Rubio Sr. who thought it would be a good idea to pass down a name that sounds like something out of a Joseph Heller novel or a Kubrick movie.

     So, John Kelly found his way onto the board of Comprehensive Health Services, the company that runs the biggest concentration camp for migrant kids in the nation, thereby actually making money from Trump's kidnapping policy.

     Trump debriefs boss, film at 11.

     We’re going to see a lot of this shit, and there are of course trivial reasons for people hating on de Blasio. But one thing to remember is that the housing authority he controls knowingly allowed children to be exposed to dangerous levels of lead paint and they decided to hide it.
      And if that isn't enough, his "Honor's" favorite lobbyists made a total of $52.6 million last year.

     So, as Trump crows about the inflated jobs report like a rooster on a dung hill, consider this: The unemployment figures don't count those who had stopped looking for work or had exhausted their unemployment benefits. The jobs report does, however, include low-paying temp jobs with no financial security, no benefits and no future.

     True story: Police in California, especially in Oakland, are killing sleeping people.

     Another good Christian heard from.

     You're going to see a lot of deliberately despicable abortion laws being passed by redneck states- so people will sue them so they can push it all the way up to the right wing Supreme Court so Roe vs Wade will get overturned.

     It's official- Mueller will testify before Congress this month and Barr can't do a fucking thing about it. I'm bringing the beer. Who's got grill duty?

     Yes, we're so depressed in Trump's America, Burger King is selling unhappy meals. I wonder if Trump will serve them to the Red Sox when they go to the White House?

     Fagin the Snowflake pulls his name from consideration for Fed position. Boy, you just make one remark about how radical you'd be in getting rid of child labor laws and making 11 and 12 year-olds go to work and the libs are all over you.

     Yesterday, Matt Gaetz (R-DUI) got his mic cut off in the only time in his life when he spoke up for minority rights.

     Two things you might have missed in this whole sick, sordid mess with Trump, the Russians and Mueller.

     Yeah! Big, dark money pushing centrists like Biden. Yeah, THAT'LL get the trust of Democratic voters.

     Quote: "Colorado Senator Michael Bennet said Thursday he’s running for the Democratic presidential nomination, offering himself as a centrist alternative in an expanding field of candidates."
      Seriously? Literally 90% are centrists!

     Oh, THIS the GOP wants to make hay over... the same day partisan right wing stooge Bill Barr crashed and burned before the Senate yesterday. What Nellie Ohr wrote about Trump being Putin's stooge was on the mark. But Republicans won't look at the truth behind the emails. The real sizzle for them is the perceived partisanship behind them.
      Because we all know the Republican Party is above such petty things as political partisanship, now don't we?

     Frankly, I'm amazed no one's thought of this earlier. It's a truism everywhere in life. When people "lose" vast sums of money, it doesn't get lost. When someone is suffering through economic hardship, someone at the other end is profiting. So of course there's money to be made from the poor. And everyone who can capitalize on it wants a piece of that pie- Slumlords, bail bondsmen, credit card companies, banks and payday lenders. Poverty wouldn't be so prevalent if it wasn't so fucking profitable in a system rife with scumbags who are allowed to take advantage of it. Remove the profit motive from poverty, you'll be taking a great first step toward eradicating poverty.
     The lead image above of a woman in Milwaukee selling off her and her son's belongings to make ends meet.

     White Nationalists stormed a book store to do a reading. Two questions: Did they need a GPS to find a bookstore and did they do a counter reading from the work of aspiring novelist and professional Treat Williams lookalike Brad Thor?

     The Florida legislature was debating arming teachers the same day a Weightman Middle School resource officer's gun accidentally went off in the cafeteria while kids were eating. But, yes, let's arm the teachers. Hopefully, they'll be as good as these finely-trained professionals. Then when the cops rush in during a shooting, they'll know the teachers from the shooter by the chalk dust on their hands.
     The bill still passed.

     Read the story of Angela, one of the first slaves in American history.

     In saying, "Trump is a fucking idiot," Lindsey Graham told the truth for the first time in his entire political career.

     Mueller objected to Barr's handling of his 22 month-long, 448 page report? Any fool could've seen that coming. Well, actually, no, Trump didn't.

     Why is this piece of shit still on the loose? Time served? Are you kidding me?

     Pimpus Maximus told Wolf Blitzer that Maduro was ready to flee the country for Havana but was talked out of it by Putin. Seriously? Vladimir Putin is Venezuela's only hope against Trump's hamfisted attempt at regime change?

     I have always felt, and will always feel, that becoming a Republican necessarily requires a significant if not complete divestment of one's humanity, morality and sanity. Take Senate Republicans, for instance...

     Why Wall St banks and other sociopathic corporate cunts should never attempt humor.

     And yet more corporate scumbaggery.

     Can we please stop calling it "immigration reform" and "taking a tougher stance"? It's sadism, pure and simple.

     This is the state of the nation:
      A white Coast Guard officer who was recently arrested had planned terrorist attacks on several prominent figures, had a "kill list" and said he was inspired by Norwegian mass murderer Anders Brevik.
      Our so-called Attorney General, Trump's personal lawyer Bill Barr refuses to charge him with terrorism.

     “This is like venture investing. You really don’t know who’s going to break out, but your hope is you have a good portfolio and that one of these investments breaks out.”
      This is actually the view taken of Wall St. scumbags nervously trying to hedge their bets before deciding on which machine Democrat to "invest." Unsurprisingly, professional rat fucker and Obama stooge Steve Rattner, who was actually called a "liberal", was in attendance.

     Fuck Franklin Graham and his 13th century bullshit. Not only is this evangelical Bozo a bigot straight out of the Low Middle Ages, he hasn't even got the balls to stand up and defend his toxic beliefs.

      "Preferably Caucasian."

      Erik Prince Goes to Venezuela. Oh, THAT sounds promising.

     Thinking you can remove poverty from the streets with aggressive policing is one of the stupidest ideas I can think of.

     So, Trumpie the Klown is suing Douche Bank and Capital One in an attempt to keep them from releasing his financials to Congress. Again, something an innocent man would totally do.

     Rosenstein could've gone out in a blaze of glory just by keeping his big mouth shut. Instead, he decided to go out in a haze of Trumpian talking points like the right wing stooge he is.

     Looks like there IS a crisis at our southern border. And, as usual, it's us.

     Let's see: So far, Trump has:
     Pushed 11,000 farmers to the edge of bankruptcy
     Created a fictional crisis at their border with Mexico
     Is stealing land from ranchers and other landowners to make way for his unnecessary wall
     Left them out to dry after a devastating hurricane
     Yeah, I can see why Texas would want to vote for Trump again.

     Some furtive right wing moneybags is funding Republican candidates to run against AOC next year. So she'd better start shifting her focus to more parochial matters in her own district instead of trying to change the world.

     "The harness had “Equipment of St. Petersburg” written on it..." Seriously? These are the idiots who got Trump elected?

     How crooked of a cocksucker do you have to be to have Iran-Contra jailbird Oliver North call you corrupt?

     Mitch McConnell signs a "The Death of Merrick Garland" tee shirt. Yeah, let's talk about civility in politics, GOP. And finally...

     Crack Whore Barbie strikes again, hits exactly the wrong target.

Ocasio-Cortez had better watch out for her own party first. Didn't the mainstream Dems want to run a candidate to challenge her in the primary? I saw Chelsea Clinton's name being bandied about a few months ago.
