Gotham City Digest: Skating on Thin Ice edition

(In which we promise to never pose as billionaires while seeking bankruptcy protection five times.)

     Cohen fixed Falwell "racy photos"? There isn't enough brain bleach in all the world... No, just... NO.

     Peter Daou's conversion leaves me utterly cold. That blubber-lipped moron still couldn't get over Hillary losing even clear and well into 2017. He was so viciously in the tank for her, he actually blocked me on Twitter when I called him on it. People like him and that bullet-headed moron Eichenwald were actually angrier at Bernie supporters than they were at Trump voters despite the fact that Bernie was hardly on the ballot in any of the 50 states and in those where he was, he was strictly a write-in candidate. Daou's excuse for being so stridently pro-Hillary and anti-Bernie? He was mesmerized by, by... David Brock's money! Yes, that same David Brock, "former" Republican and founder of the faux left wing blog Media Matters, which also blocked me about 10-12 years ago for no earthly reason.
      Sorry, Peter, you don't get to rehabilitate yourself with an insincere apology and an "I've seen the light!" article in The Nation (and God damn them for giving you a forum in which to do so) years and years after you were one of the worst and most discredited Clinton propagandists in a political landscape rotten with them. Fuck you, Peter Daou, fuck you forever.

     Essentially, Fox Spews is saying Trump's a genius for hiring such brilliant accountants who covered up his incompetence. In other words, a typical day at Fox.

     Well, looks like the butler got flogged last Monday night. Either that or Iran's getting invaded.

     Of course, there's the very real possibility the Queen won't able to distinguish the two.

     What do you know? Trump was finally right about CNN's fake news.

     The #BillionDollarLoser just invoked executive privilege over the Mueller Report. Why anyone would still support or vote for this bloated grifter when he plainly has so much to hide is beyond me.

     You hear that Donnie Dumbo? No spying! And this is your guy saying this.

     Of course they broke the law. They huddled with Putin, MBS, Kim Jong Un, three of the biggest war criminals on the planet as well as the worst human rights abusers. These scumbags have a lot to hide.

     Breaking: DC is Literally Overrun With Rats. Luckily, election day is every other year.

     Last Tuesday, he House Judiciary Committee voted to hold that pudgy stooge Bill Barr in contempt. Getting it out of committee is the first step, even though a full House vote for contempt would be largely symbolic.

     The same day, Fredo got subpoenaed by Daddy's own party (Richard Burr). Let's see him use his "Angry Democrats" argument now.

     This is the most infuriating and disgusting article I've read today. A 101 year-old woman was evicted from an assisted living facility for not being able to pay her $7000 monthly rent. And considering who's running the Senate and White House, that's saying something.

     Vaccines, "sorcery"? I suppose keeping oneself from hurdling the buffet for the 4th time at the Ponderosa Steak House would also require an act of black magic.

     Some more of Trump's "very fine people."

     Massage parlor owner/madam Cindy Yang? Investigated by the government for funneling Chinese money into Trump's 2020 campaign? Say it ain't so!

     In Florida last Wednesday night, Trump held another Nazi rally and this happened...

     "The virtuous hustle of the entrepreneur"? That's a strange phrase to make from a guy who, with Zuckerberg, essentially stole the idea of Facebook from Harvard University.

     It didn't stop him from accepting millions of dollars from those "shitty people", though, did it?

     Press Secretary decides she doesn't want to deal with the press, any more.

     Now we're showing campaign ads of redneck Republican Trump-humpers shooting TVs. I think we're officially at the point where IDIOCRACY has turned into a documentary.

     The very fact that Trump had ghost writers proves what a fraud he really is.

     Trump called for John Kerry to be prosecuted for violating the Logan Act for negotiating with Iran. Ironically when it appeared that Michael Flynn and other Trump associates violated the Logan Act, Trump’s allies correctly argued that there had never been a successful Logan Act prosecution.
      He concluded with how much economic potential North Korea has and how they "won't blow that."
      This is next batshit-level crazy.

     Yeah, LET'S talk about violations of the Logan Act.

     Spoken like a true right wing plutocrat. "For me, not for thee, assholes."

     Trump's still soft on little rocket man, I see.

     Fucking A, let's make an aircraft executive and war profiteer the permanent head of the Pentagon. No conflict of interest there. Good thinking, Donnie Dumbo.

     (Not pictured) African American players. i.e. men of principle. This looks like the #RedSox from the Yawkey era.

     Ben Shapiro (@benshapiro), the most Caucasian man in the Western Hemisphere, helpfully shows several countries simultaneously who the REAL snowflakes are. Train full of shit (Shapiro), meet train full of nitroglycerine.

     I'd like to see the dickless @NRA douchebags who are threatening @shannonrwatts to try threatening my life and see what happens. Remember, folks, these are the wet-legged wimps who can't go to a fucking Chipotles without strapping themselves to the teeth.

     Kushner: "(Palestine has) gotten more aid than any group of people in history, & what we have to show for it is really not much at this point, unfortunately."
      An aid flotilla once tried to get to Palestine. The aid workers were murdered in their sleep by the IDF. Then they lied & said the dead aid workers had weapons that were actually ordinary tools you'd see on any boat.
      "Aid"? When we send Palestine $3.8 billion a year in aid like we do the terrorist state of Israel, THEN we can talk about how much "aid" the Palestinians are getting. Until then, Kushner, shut your fucking mouth.

     George Conway strikes again. I wonder who's going to get custody of Donnie after he & Kellyanne divorce?

     “Democrats are committing suicide...they hate (Trump) so much that they're against him even when he's right.”
      Way to hammer that square peg into that round hole, Chuckie.

     Yes, TX Republicans nicknamed their failed anti-gay bill after a fast food joint that makes shitty sandwiches and hates gay people. Seriously, IDIOCRACY is now a documentary, people.

     Machine Democrats wringing their hands over Trump's "constitutional crisis" yet refuse to impeach are like firemen who are looking at a house burning down yet are afraid of looking "anti-fire" or "pro-water."

     After defending Trump for months against accusations his campaign colluded with the Russians in the 2016 election, Giuliani announces he's now colluding with the Ukrainians for Trump's reelection in 2020.

     Last Friday, Uber's IPO crashed and burned like the Hindenburg. The right wing Wall St. Journal gave lots of reasons why the stock finished at far below the $45 asking price. But one huge reason these assholes DIDN'T give us was the international strike by Lyft and Uber drivers last Thursday.

     "I’ll be honest. I had to Google that. I guess it’s just a generational thing. I didn’t get the reference. It's kind of funny, I guess. But he’s also the president of the United States and I’m surprised he’s not spending more time trying to salvage this China deal."

     “What is the problem we’re trying to solve here?” - Senator Tortoise after not allowing a vote on an election reform bill.
      Besides the Russians hacking our elections? How about right wing obstruction, for starters?

     I'm not exactly a judge groupie but I'm really crushing on Judge Amy Berman Jackson these days.

     Dear DNC:
      My name is @NatashaTynes. I'm warning you in advance that next year, some of your presidential candidates might be eating corndogs in Iowa while they're supposed to be running for president.  Especially watch that Kamala Harris and Cory Booker, if you know what I mean.

     Signed,
      newly unsigned author Natasha Tynes


     Exactly! Arwa Mahdawi, you rock.

     Democrats getting spoiled by corporate lobbyists fighting Medicare For All? I'd like to say I'm surprised, but I can't.

     I say we field test these rules on the Minus One Billion Dollar Man, considering the countless milions in debt he's left behind. And finally...

     Remember a certain right wing con man named Brian Kolfage who was "deplatformed" by Facebook for fake news and set up a Gofundme page to build a wall? The one that raised $22 million before it went bust? Well. it appears he has mysteriously come into possession of a million dollar yacht, one he claims he'd ordered right after Facebook essentially destroyed his little fake media empire.
     So, bottom line: This guy has a history of shady fundraising and these idiots throw tens of millions of dollars at him anyway assuming he'll make good. This guy's a mini Trump, bilking racist goobers out of their money despite having a long record for dishonesty.

I wonder if Shapiro would hang out with members of the ShieldWall Network.
