Gotham City Digest: Nervous Nancy Boy edition
(Where we vow to never be third rate citizen journalists.)
Don't tell me snuff films don't exist.
Meet Joey Saladino. Joey's a Republican running for Congress. Here's
Joey wearing a MAGA hat and swastika armband and peeing into his own
mouth. Now you know why Joey Salads is a huge Trump fan. Joey Salads is a Dollar Store John Gotti.
Then is what democracy looks like in self defense mode.
Last Tuesday, Nancy Pelosi announced the House will not hold a formal vote on the #impeachment inquiries because they're not playing games and "calling the White House's bluff" not to testify until that vote's taken. It ought to be made clear that the House can still continue impeachment inquiries at its present pace without taking a formal roll call vote on them. Not holding a formal vote on impeachment proceedings will legally strengthen the Democrats. Pence and others have said they will not testify until that formal vote is held.
The 4th Democratic presidential debate was the biggest and longest on record (12 candidates, 3+ hours) and filled with policy issues. Among the topics discussed: Trade, Syria, the opioid epidemic, health care, universal basic income, etc. Mayor Pete did well as had Warren and Bernie.
Yet he said he didn't have to register as a foreign agent. I guess Michael Flynn agreed because he didn't register as an agent for Russia and Turkey. The Turkish cleric Rudy wanted to kick out is the same one that Flynn planned to illegally kidnap.
At this point, Giuliani is literally one tweet or TV appearance away from declaring, "If you try to make me testify, I'll step off this ledge!"
I'm unsure if I want to know how this even started.
They weren't "errors."
Look at the expression on this poor note taker's face as Trump goes on
to brag that his treason and betrayal of the Kurds is "strategically
brilliant."
Well, look at this: Another pal of Rudy's just got busted at, again, an airport. It's funny how all these scumbags are trying to flee the country these days.
Now Trump's badmouthing the Kurds. Yeah, they may not be angels, who is? But they're some of the best allies the US has ever had.
Trumps, Romneys, Rand Paul & Meghan McCain whine about Hunter Biden's nepotism.
There's no scumbag quite like a Texas Republican scumbag.
Just in the interests of fairness and balance...
"On Sunday, after Mr. Trump abruptly abandoned that approach, American leverage appeared all but gone. That threatened to give President Bashar al-Assad and his Iranian and Russian backers a free hand. It also jeopardized hard-won gains against the Islamic State — and potentially opened the door for its return."

In other words, he's a traitor in service to the Russians and now terrorists.
Yeah, Trump WOULD do something like this to Harry Dunn's parents.
Meme intermission.
Class. Giuliani's all about class, like bringing his felon mobster buddies to Bush's funeral so they could meet lots of Republicans.
Money shot:
"And over the weekend, State and Energy Department officials were quietly reviewing plans for evacuating roughly 50 tactical nuclear weapons that the United States had long stored, under American control, at Incirlik Air Base in Turkey, about 250 miles from the Syrian border, according to two American officials.
Those weapons, one senior official said, were now essentially Erdogan’s hostages. To fly them out of Incirlik would be to mark the de facto end of the Turkish-American alliance. To keep them there, though, is to perpetuate a nuclear vulnerability that should have been eliminated years ago...

For his part, Mr. Erdogan claims nuclear ambitions of his own: Only a
month ago, speaking to supporters, he said he “cannot accept” rules that
keep Turkey from possessing nuclear weapons of its own."
Thanks, Trump voters.
Essentially, Harvey Weinstein blackmailed NBC with their own Matt Lauer rape problem to kill a story by Ronan Farrow and his production team on Weinstein's own rapes.
I used to respect Anderson Cooper. After the last debate, all that changed.
This happened two nights ago in Ron Ely's home. It's already one of the strangest stories to come out this year and it'll no doubt get even stranger when all the facts finally come out.
Meanwhile, this happened yesterday. I would've hated to change Trump's diaper after this tantrum.
It took Liz Cheney, LIZ fucking CHENEY, to be the adult in the room after the Democrats had to leave after Trump began flinging his feces at Pelosi, to remind the Toddler in Chief that the 9/11 terrorists also came from 7000 miles away.
"They have a lot of sand to play with"? I desperately fantasize of a universe without Trump. Who else does, too?
Wow. Trump kept two sets of ledgers. Shocking, I know.
Congressman Elijah Cummings has just passed away. This leaves a huge hole in our government that can never be truly filled and Baltimore, and the nation, just lost a champion it can ill afford to lose.
I actually expected some right wing asshat to say something like this. As usual, they didn't disappoint.
Sorry, racists.
So, bullet-headed Gordon Sondland said this before Congress today, with a straight face and no trace of irony.
The only way he's hosting next year's G7 is in a Supermax, in his own mind.
I'm guessing Brad Thor, Nicholas Sparks or Linda Fairstein weren't available.
Mick Mulvaney tries to normalize corruption and extortion.
The ironically-named Gov. Jim Justice (No relation to Buford T.) glommed $125,000 intended for struggling farmers, not bloated billionaires like him.
I've been keeping a quick eye here and there on the month-old GM-UAW strike. But it seems to me this $11,000 "ratification bonus" is just a carrot on a stick to make them overlook the fact that GM still insists in closing down three plants such as Lordstown. That 11 grand, which is taxable income, will only get used to pay down debts that have mounted since the strike began and they were reduced to just $250 a week on the picket line (which just got inched up $25 a week). You'd be surprised how fast $11,000 can go nowadays, especially when you have kids, car payments and a mortgage. And finally...
Yeah, we're in good hands. We have a "president" who makes up phone calls, poses as his own fictional PR guy and he hires advisors who quote sources that don't exist. Fucking A, why don't we nominate "Ron Vara" for next year' Nobel Prize for Economics?
