Gotham City Digest: UnAmerican Gothic edition

(Grant Wood never imagined this shit.)

     Looking for a reason not to donate to Goodwill? Here's one.

     Egomaniac who loves being quoted now says he's not happy crowd quoted him.

     At last, some sanity in the criminal justice system. Epstein practically is the very definition of a flight risk.

     This Stephen Colbert clip mocking Eric Trump may be the funniest thing you'll see all day.

     Actually, $1.5 trillion tax cut but, hey, who's counting? Certainly not the Aqua Buddha. Meanwhile, the 200th 9/11 first responder just died. Thanks, Rand, you bag o' shit.

     Omar called Trump a fascist and a racist while creating a traffic jam. Which, one would think, is absolutely indisputable. You can only deny that you and your heroes are indeed fascist for so long when you continue acting just like fascists.
     Winston Churchill once famously said, "I never listen to peoples' words any more. I observe their behavior. Behavior never lies."
     It doesn't take a genius or scholar of WWII history to observe fascist behavior when it's presented time and again over the four plus years since Trump took that now notorious escalator ride down Trump Tower. Just minutes later, he inveighed against the Others of which he now had included Ilhan Omar. These Others in Trump's Nazi world view tend to be at least one of two different things- People of color or Muslim. Omar's both, obviously. In times of peace, strongman dictators such as Trump need to manufacture bogey men, yeast them up to monstrous proportions then say, "Only I can protect you from these people." With Hitler, it was the Jews. With his vastly imperfect disciple Trump, it's dark-skinned people, especially if they're Muslim.
     And whether Trump believes his own xenophobic bullshit or knows it's bullshit and uses it anyway for cynical political/personal gain, it still springs from an evil place.

     Please think twice before using Faceapp, or any biometric app.

     Child molester who has incest with own daughter claims Rep. Omar married her own brother to get into the country.

     Trump: "You don't like the government? Leave and fix it there."
     Also Trump, to migrants: "You don't like your government? Stay there and fix it."

     "I've toured Theresienstadt & I can assure you the German government meets all human rights standards overall."

     Some of us called it four years ago. I count myself among that number.

     This is how we celebrate the 4th of July in Trump's America. It take four real, manly men to beat up one 92 year-old.

     Beatings, deprived clothing, strapped into chairs... How nice that we've set up an Abu Ghraib just for migrant kids.

     Trump blew off the NAACP for the third year in a row. His Klan robes were still at the dry cleaners.

     First, he eggs them on, then he threw his hillbilly supporters under the bus for the "Send her back!" chant by saying he "didn't like it" now he's defending them for saying it. And no one in his party is calling him out on his rancid racism, not even Justin Amash. Like I've been saying for the longest time- The Republican Party is nothing but a pack of racist, feckless thugs.

     The power of Christ compels you to cum in my mouth! Hey, it's a twist on the old split pea soup trope, right?

     Liberals don't whine about being persecuted in right wing rags like Newsmax like Douchewitz did.

     Acting president's acting CBP commissioner appeared on Ari Melber's show for the first time.
     Let's just say it could've gone better.

     Geraldo blows a gasket when one of the right wing hosts says, "I can tell you to go back to where you came from." No, you can't, asshole. Or do I have to say it in German so you'll understand?

     This goes back almost a month and I ran into it just now while doing research for my new novel, THE GIRLS IN THE SNOW (the first sequel to THE RIVER NEVER SLEEPS). The reason I'm researching this is because my MC, Detective Meghan McNamara, goes to a reservation in eastern Wisconsin when native girls start to go missing. The facts of native women being murdered or going missing (5712 in 2016 alone and out of them, only 116 were reported in the DOJ's database) are horrifying enough.
      Then I ran into this article on the HuffPo and nearly burst a blood vessel. We've seen Trump nominees and officials show up for Congressional testimony and vetting while completely unprepared, so the contents of this article are hardly surprising. What is shocking is that these two boobs sent to the Senate last month by Trump were notably clueless even by today's standards. And part of the testimony they were supposed to give to the Senate that day was the administration's positions on the proposed bills written to strengthen protections for highly vulnerable native women.
      The bottom line: The administration HAD no policy positions. It and Trump have invested not a single second of time or particle of energy studying how to protect native women. But I think we know what Donald Trump thinks about Indians.

      If you support a racist, you ARE a racist and I don't give a fuck if you think you're a princess. (Tip o' the tinfoil hat to Constant Reader CC)

     Trump meets with Iraqi human rights activist Nadia Murad whose family was killed by ISIS.
     “All this happened to me,” she said. “They killed my mom, my six brothers.”
     “Where are they now?” Trump asked.
     “They killed them,” Murad repeated. “They are in the mass graves in Sinjar."
     Trump nods.
     His compassion is tear-inducing, is it not?

   This is a very cool idea. What would've been even cooler? Assembling them together in Constitution Hall in Philadelphia for the photo shoot.

     Eric Swallwell got shouted down by, predictably, redneck Republicans in the well of the US House just for quoting Trump's racist comments. Fuck civility. I never had any patience for it in the presence of the pure, palpable evil represented by the odious likes of Trump. At the risk of making a pun, let's call a spade a spade here: The Republican Party is the party of the KKK. And the Republicans who remain silent when racism spews from the West Wing practically 24/7, and it's virtually all of them, are just as racist as the "man" they defend with their silence.

     May all these right wing scumbag billionaires have their turn at the chopping block in the public square. I just hope I live long enough to see that. (Another tip o' the tinfoil hat to Constant Reader CC)

     Like the old saying goes, you are the company you keep. And Donald Trump shamelessly cavorts with pederasts and pedophiles. Maybe instead of doing oppo research into Hillary Clinton, they should've been looking into George Nader's past.

     "We're in charge again," says the fat Trumpanzee, meaning the Master Race.

     “Keep ’em comin’! Flyin’ out of there. It’s like people are addicted to these things or something. Oh, wait, people are…” and Borelli responded, “Just like Doritos keep eating. We’ll make more.”
      You can't possibly convince me that executive scum aren't all psychopaths.

     The problem with AOC's suggestion is that the 911 Commission hid much more than it divulged.

     Fucking moron. Sweden doesn't have a basil system.

     While taking testimony from the Fed Chair last week, AOC elicited a remarkable confession.

     "Ultimately the timing of the meeting, intended to project an image of the Trump administration’s dedication to protecting refugees persecuted for their religions, was rather ironic. Immediately afterwards, the president attended a rally and whipped up xenophobic anger at perhaps the most prominent refugee in American politics, herself a US religious minority. And the next day, Politico reported that security officials in the Trump administration are considering cutting refugee admissions “to nearly zero” next year." -Vox

     Make Angina Great Again.

     THE WEDDING CRASHER 2.

     Has anyone read this novel, The Librarian of Auschwitz? If so, what did you think?

     Another racist asshat crawls out of the woodwork. Thanks, Grand Dragon Donnie.

     Meanwhile, in Braindead, Trumpistan... Note the Hispanic accent and the banner behind her in Spanish.

     Donald Trump is a (vaguely) human-shaped black hole that bankrupts everything he goes near.

     Elsewhere in Braindead, Trumpistan, the squad owns "27,000,000 slaves."

     It's hard to be more vile than Dick Cheney but somehow his daughter Liz managed it.

     Elsewhere in Braindead, Trumpistan... Just read the story but I wouldn't advise doing so on a full stomach.

     Same old right wing shit- Act like a flaming fascist or racist then accuse your target of the same when they complain.

     If you want to talk about election meddling, then don't forget this clown. It utterly escapes me how so many Trump-hating "liberals" are still supporting the asshole who more than any other human meddled in our elections and got Trump in the Oval Office.

     "We are talking about small and evil things, and our vision is limited to the least-bad choices in an all-bad situation. We are like the prisoners in a dungeon conjured by Dickens or Alexandre Dumas, trying to keep our spirits up by placing bets on cockroach races." -Salon.

     Dear God, has this man never heard the phrase, "graveyard of empires"? And finally...

     So a cop in Louisiana puts up a Facebook post threatening AOC's life. His police chief shrugs.  Then, to prove what a fucking right wing rag USA TODAY is turning into, they start talking about the guy that shot Steve Scalise at the Congressional softball practice a couple of years ago. THEN, they felt it was necessary to reach back several years to mention the so-called death threats Trump and his family have received.
      Let's get one thing perfectly clear: We can debate until we're blue in the face over whether Trump is a legitimate US President (He isn't). But the bottom line is, he has Secret Service protection and so does his crime wave of a family. Congressmen DON'T. And whether you want to buy into the fact that Trump's getting death threats, the one common denominator of all these death threats is Trump's big, foul bog of a mouth. Democrats aren't responsible for hateful, racist rhetoric. That's our Chief Squatter at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue you're thinking of.
