Gotham City Digest: Second Coming edition

(Where we at least know we're the first draft of history, not the Second Coming.)

     Trump tweeted a photo of a Trump Tower in Greenland. Stop me if this sounds familiar.

     Tomahawk missile tests? Ok, why? Weren't they banned under the Reagan-era INF Treaty that Trump the traitor walked away from?

     This is what redneck Republicans REALLY think of women and people of color.

     Who else knew that lobbyist scumbags were writing "model" legislation that essentially violates the First Amendment? This particular douchebag actually bragged about it.

     This happened just a century ago. Same old story. White redneck bigots started a war against black people, they defended themselves then the snowflake rednecks cried foul.

     Damn, first Toni Morrison now Paule Marshall.

     “So, we have a great plan coming out. It’s going to be — if we can take back the House because we’re not going to get the Democrats to vote for it, because they’re doing Medicare for all, which is going to take away your freedom, take away your doctors, take away everything that you should be able to have, and most importantly, it’s going to take away — we have 180 million people right now that have private insurance and they love it, and all of that’s going to be taken away. It’s absolute craziness.
      “On top of everything else, they’re looking at 80, 90, 95 percent tax, because there’s no — there’s no way they can afford it. But people don’t want to go to a hospital, to go to a doctor. They don’t want to go. They want to have their own doctor, number one, and we went through this with Obamacare, which we got rid of the individual mandate, by the way, which is very important.
     “But we have a great health care plan. If we get the House, we hold the Senate, we keep the presidency, we’re going to have great health care, much better than Obamacare, at much less cost.”
      Shorter Trump: "I got nothing."

     Listen to your president, Donnie. Then shut the fuck up, Donnie.

     Watch this video until its horrifying end when she holds up a sign reading, “Help me, I don’t know if I’ll make it ’till tomorrow.” Note how much she ages in just one year and at how progressively worse the beatings get.

     Elizabeth Warren met her double in Minnesota and it was seriously funny yet eerie.

     Denmark was mean to him so he took his deflated ball and stays home. Petulant piece of shit. Sounds like something Chadwick would do.

     I love how this lady thinks.

     I have a special venom for Baptists. This is just one of the reasons for it.

     Yes, Trump quoted a right wing cultist who called him the second coming of God.

     Another angry, old, white racist male Trump fan heard from.

     The Chosen One who wasn't chosen by over three quarters of the electorate.

     I suppose within the hour, we're going to hear about the Oval Office imposing a 100% tariff on Danish butter cookies and Victor Borge videos.

     Trump's August 21st:
     1) He compared himself to God AND Jesus.
     2) Said American Jews were too stupid to vote for him.
     3) Whined that Denmark didn't respect him.
     4) Called off his September visit.
     5) Said Russia didn't help him win the 2016 election just minutes after admitting it had.
     And this was all before 1:30 PM.

     The former President of SPAM (Yes, you read that correctly) and its lobbyist were arrested last Wednesday. And. oh boy, does it make for fascinating reading.

     This is from last May. 51 Attorneys General ordered Betsy DeVos to forgive veteran student loan debt. Trump just got around to signing this into law on Wednesday, three months later.

     Speaking of student loan debt: For years, debt collection agencies have been having people arrested by federal cops (glorified bounty hunters) over student loan debt. Yes, the feds are arresting people on behalf of usurious loan companies who themselves should be getting arrested.

     Right now, about 325,000,000 people are asking, "He was running?"

     So,this anti-vaxxer decided to stalk an Asian elected official in California, then assault him repeatedly then put the whole thing on Facebook Live. He was only cited because, you know, white.

     I'd like to say that only the right wing DOJ's would be so cruel as to petition the courts to allow LGBTQ discrimination, as Trump's is now doing. But Obama's DOJ in the early years did exactly the same thing.

     These are the bad-ass teenagers who resisted Hitler's Youth League.

     Intermission.
     Now back to our regularly-scheduled lunacy.

     Shit, I was saying that over 15 years ago.

     One of the most disturbing trends over the last couple of decades is Congress taking away our right to sue corporations for damages. Right wingers in the pockets of these corporations call it "tort reform" and pass bills written by ALEC and given to them by corporate lobbyists. The official line is that they're trying to get rid of "frivolous lawsuits". But the REAL intent is to rob consumers of the right to sue these corporations when their products injure or cause death to their customers. The Protection of Lawful Commerce in Arms Act (PLCAA) is a perfect example of this. It essentially shields gun makers from virtually all legal accountability when their products kill innocents, including the reckless way in which they're marketed. The libertarian entitled "Personal Responsibility in Food Consumption Act", or the cheeseburger law, shields food manufacturers and vendors from litigation even after their products kill people and thrust accountability back on the consumer. "Tort reform", as it's laughably known, is an insidious movement that essentially gives corporations the right to kill us then evade any legal comeuppance whatsoever.

     Slavery began in America 400 years ago this month when 20 Africans were bought by Virginians.

     Trump attacks supporter, moron says he still loves him. Seriously, this asshole could rape their pre-teen daughters on their own dinner tables and they'd still support him.

     Making America Great Again, one idiotic, reckless accusation at a time.

     Meanwhile. this was happening on Wall Street...

     We're already seeing this in the coverage of Tweedle Dee and Tweedle Dumber (Johnson and Trump). It's time to take off the kid gloves, kids.

     David Koch finally had the consideration to turn into a rotting corpse. It's about Goddamn time.

     I'll never understand the ethical blindness of gun nuts who can't even see the bad optics in this. They've had kids raffling off AR15s since the year after Newtown/Sandy Hook.

     I can perfectly imagine this psychopath walking through children's cancer wards, telling them their health care's been taken from them, collecting their tears with cotton balls then at the end of the day, squeezing them out into a martini glass and drinking them.

     The majority of Germans in Hitler's Germany also didn't know the truth about the conditions of THEIR concentration camps, either. That, too, was by design, as is this.

     I see nothing, absolutely nothing in this article by Eric Alterman with which I disagree.

     I love this kid so much. He should get into politics.

     This guy's one of our own and not only did I not know he was running for President, I've hardly heard of him.

     Uh, Il Douche has zero authority over private companies. And he brought that $75 billion of Chinese tariffs on himself. He's simply a bully who enjoys punching people in the face and is outraged when people punch back.

     This is satire but I can perfectly imagine the Tangerine Shitgibbon doing this.

     When Highlights Magazine for Kids wades into the political arena, you know shit's getting serious.

     A voice from the past utters wisdom for the future.

     RBG finds another enemy's ass to kick.

     How could this happen? Two words: Greed and Bigotry. Working homeless. It's a thing.

     It's bad enough Trump is wasting his own tme. He doesn't have the right to waste ours.

     Some men just want to watch the world burn.
     I never could nor will ever understand why the human race keeps voting right wing nut jobs into office. You put conservatives in power and poverty for the bottom 80%, death and destruction will surely follow. Why do we keep doing this to ourselves? This Bolsonaro psychopath almost makes Trump look like Saul Alinski. Macron offered to help and this douchebag warned him not to get involved, which I take as proof that these fires were a planned strategy that's his agenda, to destroy the very lungs of this planet. I know we Americans can hardly afford to talk after 2016 yet it still needs to be asked: Brazil, what the fuck were you thinking?!

     These fucking fascist shit balls can't even go on a roller coaster without pulling this shit. Like, what the hell was this supposed to achieve?

     Tom Perez always has been & always will be a right wing asshole. That was the whole idea of the DNC choosing him over a true progressive like Keith Ellison. They have absolutely learned nothing after 2016 and when I read shit like this, it makes me gladder than ever that I left the Democratic Party years ago. I've been a registered Independent since the last general election largely on account of right wing assholes like Perez and his equally corrupt predecessors.

     Boycotting this bloated redneck Jimmy John's shit shacks will be easy since they're nowhere near New England. And finally...

     Strictly a happy coincidence, I'm sure.
