Gotham City Digest

(In which we promise to never try to look like the Commander in Cheeto.)

     The first crime in outer space. If any of you guys write both crime and science fiction, here you go.

---

     Another reason why I refuse to use Apple products. Apple not only lies about protecting your privacy, not only does Apple not give a flying fuck about your privacy, they also make a pile of money by harvesting your communications and using it to their own ends.

---

     And sometimes the house really does fall on top of the witch...

---

     I recall reading years ago that a small town in Germany did pretty much the same thing. Eventually, the German fascists caught on that they were drafted into a money-raising walk-a-thon. These idiots never had a clue. An altogether inferior form of fascist. Leave it to the Germans, guys. They do it better and they're slightly smarter.

---

    I'm sure this is exactly the kind of firm, decisive Republican leadership those douchebag deplorables voted for in 2016.

    "I have second thoughts about everything."

---

     When years ago DANCING WITH THE STARS had put Tom DeLay on their cast for some Lollipop Guild routine on acid, I thought they couldn't possibly sink any lower.

     I was so very, very wrong...

---

     Looks like little Stevie King is going to have to brush up on his dance moves.

---

     Just the very fact that Creepy Uncle Joe had a fundraiser in the Hamptons is enough to make me vote against him. But when that fundraiser attracts the likes of the Mooch, there shouldn't be a doubt in anyone's mind which party Biden REALLY represents.

---

     Well, so much for the fabled politeness of the Canucks...

---

     Macron epically trolled Trump by inviting Iran to the G7.

---

     "On Dec. 8, 2017, Niiya asks Gibson if Toese had 'his court stuff taken care of,' referring to an active warrant for Toese's arrest. Niiya goes on to say officers ignored the warrant at a past protest and tells Gibson that he doesn't see a need to arrest Toese even if he has a warrant, unless Toese commits a new crime."

      Isn't dereliction of duty a terminable offense?

---

     Trump wants to nuke hurricanes. Because what's a little nuclear fallout between allies and US territories, right?

---

     If you're wondering why so many Republicans act like criminals, here's one theory as to why that is, courtesy of Jared Kushner...

---

     The "fake news media" didn't start a needless trade war with China and tank the Dow Jones, asshole.

---

     Is it just me or does anyone else think Bolsonaro looks like the evil Carl Sagan?

---

     Well, THAT was kind of stupid, wasn't it?

---

     Here's a fascinating example of nature healing or regenerating itself after Man's destructiveness.

---

    And it looks as if that psychopath Bolsonaro isn't the only one getting rid of scientists. Trump started that way back at the start of his alleged presidency. This was well over two years ago. In all that time, we have had no dedicated science professionals working at the WH.

---

     So, at age 87, Sheriff Joe wants his old job back. Insanity don't want no stinkin' pension. Maybe they should set up his campaign headquarters in a nursing home, admit him on election day, give him a fake badge and tell him he won before the nice nurse with the paper cup comes to tuck him in.

---

     Headline: "States With Fracking Bans Are Still Building Fracking Infrastructire." This is one of the many, many problems with deregulating corporations. They get so bloated with arrogance that they think the laws don't apply to them. "States' rights"? That shit's for gay marriage, gun control and hood ornament issues. Not for us frackers.

---

     Imagine Jeffery Epstein telling Trump to fuck off and "she's not for you" while he was ogling a 16 year-old girl? Yeah, that happened.

---

     God, I hope this woman wins. #DitchMitch

     "Deer werld leeders-
      Donnie cant attend the Gee 7 clymut chag meating becuz of prior com... cumm... he hadda be sumware else.
      Donnies mother."

---

     Ja vol! Because it takes a REAL masculine, manly man to put innocent children in concentration camps and by proxy, at that. Seig Heil! Is there any doubt that in a former life, Stephen Miller was a Jewish trustee at Auschwitz or Bergen-Belsen?

---

      The WH, Friday, August 23, 2019:
      "But I don't wanna go. The other world leaders make fun of me. I'd rather golf at Mar a Lago or Bedminster."
      "Donnie, you MUST go. Come on, turn off TV, get dressed."
      "Melania, I don't wanna go to France! Will they at least have another parade for me with tanks and stuff?"
      "No. It is G7. They are waiting for you. You are very important man."
      "I want Vlad. I miss Vlad."
      "I know, dear. You must go. Get out of pajamas. Be best."
     "Shut the fuck up with that shit. Macron better not invite Iran or I'm gonna skip the climate meeting."

     It's not the $17 billion that Oklahoma wanted but it's something.

     I'm not surprised that Trumpie the Klown thought he could buy Greenland. And it shouldn't even surprise me that he thought he could buy the autonomous nation of Greenland from Denmark, which, as we've established, does not own Greenland. But Trump's particular gift to political bloggers and other horrified spectators of his bizarre and childish behavior is that he continues to astonish even after more than four years since the shit show of his political career began. And finally...

---

     Mayor Pete would beat Trumpie the Klown by 9 points. Quinnipiac further stated respondents were split 50/50 between Trump and a pumpkin carved to look like Hillary Clinton, although that would mainly be due to a case of mistaken identity.
