Gotham City Digest: Age of Nefarious edition

("When Tru-u-ump is in his second house / And our moon collides with Mars. / Then Pe-e-ence shall guide the planets / And Ba-a-arr will rule the stars! This is the dawning of the age of Nefarious, the Age of Nefarious!")

---

     So the Moon is a part of Mars? Was that the infamous Martian annexation of 3217? Folks, I think it's now officially time to panic considering this evolutionary dropout has our nuclear launch codes.

---

     I've always looked at Trump as Boris Johnson's twin only dumber and less accomplished.

---

   Ocasio-Cortez's questioning of American foreign policy was very necessary. So suck it up, snowflakes.

---

     Keep in mind this is coming from Jennifer Rubin.

---

     English Trumper: Trump is very popular in the UK. Ha ha ha ha. And a good time was had by all.

---

     No carriage ride down the Mall with the queen. No room at Buckingham Palace (Apparently they're renovating all 755 rooms). No speech before Parliament. Lots and lots of protesters & the Trump baby blimp. Yeah, real popular.

---

     Meanwhile, those cheeky Brits couldn't resist reminding Trump how popular he really is, as this projected image on the Tower of London shows. By the way, in case you were wondering who Led by Donkeys is, this should help.

---

     The massive crowds in London awaiting Trump were reminiscent of the ones he attracted on his inauguration.

---

     And it looked as if the late Senator John McCain had some friends across the pond.

---

     No doubt, if Trump did see it, his sole takeaway would be in agreeing with the mushroom head and the dimensions. "See, like I been telling everyone. It's yuge and glorious. Glorious. Right, Queenie?"

---

     And during the protest in London that brought out 75,000 Londoners, there were some more great moments in signage.

---

     The Democratic Party still hasn't learned the lessons of 2016. It torpedoed Sanders and rolled out a shitty candidate who got her ass kicked by a stumblebum pedophile who's now setting the world on fire. So what do they do?

      Arrogantly insisting 2016's playbook is still viable & torpedoing Bernie Sanders' campaign despite hard data showing a centrist will lose... just like the last time. I never thought when I was younger that I'd ever see a party I'd hate as much as the Republican or Likud parties but the Democratic establishment is really giving them a run for their money.

---

     Malcolm Nance says it's stop to stop calling Barr the Attorney General. And it's long past the time when we should stop calling Trump "the president."

---

     If Google releases Dragonfly, the censored version of their browser that blocks articles on China's human rights abuses, they will have officially turned to the Dark Side.

---

     Once again, wherever you may live, never, EVER believe your government, especially the fucking United States government. The US government is nothing more or less than an ongoing experiment into propaganda. And what ICE tells us and what's actually going on are two diametrically opposing things.

---

     You're free to call me petty if you wish but to me, Trump looks like a character in a Thomas Nast cartoon. Seriously, who dressed Trump? Stevie Wonder?

---

     Kushner on Palestine: "I'm not here to be trusted." No shit, asshole.

---

     I can't wait until I run into some QAnon asshole screaming about Pizzagate and Hillary Clinton. I'll show them this article. My take on George Nader's arrest: You don't unseal a sealed indictment from a year and a half ago unless your cooperation agreement with Nader has broken down in a way that's eerily similar to Paul Manafort. The feds are putting the screws to Nader but good and it's because of what he knows. And since Nader was convicted for the same thing (possessing kiddie porn) in 1991, Trump can't say he didn't know this. Then again, what do you expect from a guy who raped a little girl with Jeffery Epstein in his New York apartment?

---

     This is a very dangerous trend- 20 years in prison for protesting a pipeline?. When a democracy criminalizes free speech, it ceases to become a democracy.

---

     This was Trump's actual itinerary his first night in London. The British are reduced to using icons to communicate with him.

---

     Punishment: Synder and his goons are forced to drink a gallon of Flint water a day until they're dead. Then bury them in lead-lined coffins. That's the only fit punishment for psychopaths who willingly poisoned hundreds of thousands of people, hid or falsified water reports while knowing they were killing people and their children.

---

     It's just a shame it took 75 years until she finally got some official recognition for her brave service.

---

     So, Trump wants to be a royal. Uh, there are certain difficulties with that. Being American, unrelated to the House of Windsor and being a complete fucking wanker and a tosser of the first magnitude. Are my Brit friends with me on this?

---

     "A pickled intestine in a suit." Hm, Jonathan Pie is a bit more charitable toward Trump than I usually am but another fine tirade by Mr. Pie.

---

     @AOC strikes again.

---

     I don't know how I could've missed this, but Trump showed up at a memorial service for the Virginia shooting victims... in golf cleats. But at least his hair looked fabulous.

---

     So, this is what happened to Linda Fairstein after WHEN THEY SEE US came out on Netflix & #Cancellindafairstein was one of the top trending topics on Twitter yesterday. This should just be the start. We need to continue hammering away at Dutton, Fairstein's publisher, by telling them to break their contract with her, call for a boycott of her fucking novels and lean on Vassar College's Board of Trustees. We got the racist bitch to terminate her Twitter account yet that is not nearly enough. Not by a long shot.

---

     Scot Peterson, the coward cop who hid outside while Parkland students were getting massacred, had been arrested and charged with 11 counts including neglect of duty.

---

     Is it my imagination or has this racist bullshit at fast food joints been happening more often since Trump was "elected"?

---

     Nasty old while Mississippi lady who pulled a gun on black picnickers got charged. Good. But what took so damned long? This happened last month.

---

     UK Trump supporter stabbed Trump baby blimp, stabs herself, instead, right before getting arrested. Stupid twat, serves her right.

---

     Trump, justifying his ban on trans people in the military: "They take massive amounts of drugs."

---

     If you're Catholic & a regular church-goer, you need to read this. The RCC spent over $10,000,000 to lobbyists to fight for the right to molest children with impunity. So think about that before you give to the collection plate.

---

     Both occupants of the White House were rich men from New York. So, how does one compare to the other in political stature? See picture.

---

     I will always utterly be at a loss to understand why anyone outside of the 1% would've voted for that asshole. Take truckers, for instance...

---

     Don't forget to leave a Yelp review of the prison food.

---

     Sorry, I don't buy the Democrats' naive assumption that Hope Hicks will turn over everything she has.

---

     Let's ask the people of Flint, Michigan if they agree.

---

     Along with the Trump administration, the lowest scum of the earth are payday lenders. This will make your blood boil.

---

     This lays out quite possibly the best argument for impeaching this pretend president. Waiting until after the election worked for Republicans against Merrick Garland. The same strategy won't work for Democrats.

---

     Larry the cat, chief mouser for #10, traps a rat.

---

     Two of Trump's most noteworthy quotes from his interview with Piers Morgan:
     "I know so much about nuclear weapons. Don't forget I'm the one who gets trained and has to study this." -Donald Trump, on da nuclears. Don't forget, this is a guy whose itinerary in London was written entirely in icons
      "I read an article where everybody's being stabbed. They said your hospital is a sea of blood all over the floors." More shockingly brilliant analysis from our "very stable genius." In London everyone has a knife wound & the city has only one hospital, swimming in blood.

---

     From the How Many Ways Can Donald Trump Hurt Children? files.

---

     Put the most evil asshole in charge in the WH and it's guaranteed there will be countless thousands of assholes equally if not more evil to do his bidding. And finally...

---

     So, there Trump was standing on hallowed ground at Normandy near the graves of our war dead on D-Day and he decides to use that as a stage to blast Mueller & Pelosi while holding up the D-Day ceremonies while doing an interview with Eva Braun in waiting, Laura Ingraham.
