Gotham City Digest

(Fuckin' A, get to work, ladies.)

     Yeah, LET'S talk about corruption and nepotism, Donnie Oranges.

     "Mr. Cornstein is open about his closeness to Mr. Orban. He tells how, on the flight back to Budapest after the White House meeting, the two men — exhausted from a long day — stripped to their underwear and napped and chatted on couches in the back of Mr. Orban’s plane."
      How this wasn't the lede in this NY Times article is a mystery to me.

      All paid for by a podcast that hasn't even launched, eh?

      So says our "press secretary" who'd never once held a presser. Does anyone even know what this woman's voice sounds like? The WH is essentially a Nazi bunker in April 1945 Germany.

      Garry Trudeau is a prophet. This strip ran almost exactly 20 years ago to the day.

      Yeah, LET'S talk about ending endless wars and bringing the troops home.

      Corpora tions and the executives who run them are ruining virtually everything on the planet. Look what Disney-Fox are doing to their own catalogue.

       I can see him doing this.

      In other words, these tents do everything that would be outlawed or heavily-taxed in the United States.

      More right wing number-fondling. The dumbing down of America has been happening since Nixon and really ramped up under Reagan. Who needs a nation of smart, informed voters when it's much more profitable to doom them to low-paying jobs so they spend the rest of their lives paying down debt they shouldn't have?

    John Pavlovitz lowers the boom on professional Christians, deplorables & other right wing hypocrites.

      For those of you who may think I'm being too hard on Markie Mark and unfairly charging him with turning Fuckbook into a right wing sewer, take a gander at this article. Breitbart, the official organ of the alt-right, is now considered a "high quality" news outlet here.

       I never imagined I'd be linking to Fox, of all places, but even that network can't ignore the senseless carnage that's happening in northeastern Syria. Of course, if you're a psychopath like Erdogan or Trump, then "Operation Peace Spring" is going swimmingly. Not so much if you're a Kurd.

       As if the rat race isn't crowded enough as it is.

       No shadow government, my ass. The only satisfying aspect of this story is knowing they wasted all that money to defeat Obama and failed miserably.

       In short, Trump was playing golf when the raid began. So they staged a fake photo op to Trump "watching the raid" in real time. Trump didn't even notify the House about the raid while Putin was kept in the loop.

       Of course this is a competition to him, the moron.

       I want to go this island. Who else does?

      Pure class. That's always defined Trump. He thanked the Russians first before our own Special Forces operators. Then he seemed to go out of his way to piss off ISIS more than they already are.
So what did he get for his obseqiousness to the Russians? They jeered him on State TV and said al-Baghdadi may not be dead, after all.

      "President* Trump’s abrupt decision to pull forces from northern Syria disrupted planning for the raid and forced the Pentagon to press ahead with a risky night operation, military officials said."

      Meme intermission.

      By now, you may have heard of the saga of "Swing Set Susan." Susan, real name Samantha Eley, chased a bunch of Hispanic kids off a playground and tried to impersonate a cop. Samantha already had an outstanding warrant for domestic violence and is a convicted drunk driver. I think we all know who Samantha voted for in 2016 and odds are just as good she'll be his next Director of Homeland Security.

     Poor little insecure manbaby, still competing with Obama.

     It's not often you see a legislator with both a powerful and nimble intellect. But then again, there aren't many Katie Porters in Congress. And speaking of Katies in Congress...

     Yeah, she made an error in judgment before getting elected to Congress. And she said she was leaving an abusive marriage. That abusive half of the relationship released nude pictures of her in a revenge porn scheme. The right wing rag that released those pictures has been empowered more than they had a right to be. Red State has a scalp of a member of Congress to put on their belt which gives undue legitimacy to both them and the tactic of revenge porn.
     And Congress helped the right wing agenda by going after her as viciously as it went after Al Franken in the Senate because they're so uptight about appearances. Meanwhile, it took that same legislative body HOW many fucking years to even launch impeachment inquiries against a pedophile and rapist who is the most corrupt individual to ever occupy the White House?

     I don't claim to be an expert in British politics. I'll leave that to my more politically-minded friends across the pond. But I've been looking at this Brexit debacle from all angles and I've come to one conclusion after all these years- The only benefit that could possibly come of this will be enjoyed by 1% scumbags who want to legally dodge their taxes and corporations who demand to liberated from onerous regulations and standards. This whole Brexit clusterfuck began with the EU'S decision to close a tax loophole back in Cameron's day. Now tell me I'm wrong about this.

      So, President Hatbox Head made the mistake of going to the ballpark for the World Series and got roundly booed. Later, Fox Sports captured a "Veterans for Impeachment" sign.

       Not the smartest thing to do with your tits, ladies, when the Gropenfuhrer's in the house.

      Steve Bannon's out at Breitfart... again. And on the way out the door, he admitted Pelosi was winning in her impeachment battle.

       Ending endless wars, eh? The NY Times begs to disagree.

       "German officials bucked the question of whether it was ethical to ignore the fact that many of the artworks had probably been looted from museums or Holocaust victims, stating that this was not germane to their predicament. They pointed out in a shockingly tone-deaf manner—echoing the views of many enablers of the Nazis—that their behavior was legally proper. Its morality was irrelevant."
        I guess some things about the Germans will never change.

        I'm not bragging but stating as fact that in my new trilogy, I haven't made any of these mistakes. It takes place in contemporary Eastern Wisconsin so my novels feature a lot of Native Americans and, I'm glad to say, avoids the usual cringe-inducing pitfalls such as stereotyping and mere tokenism for its own sake.

      Oh, I'm sure they are! But that doesn't change the fact these right wing scumbags had zero problem at the time with accepting cash from Soviet-born crooks.

       Another elder black statesman has died. It's a shame Conyers tarnished his reputation with the sexual harassment and payoffs.

        “We’re keeping the oil. Remember that, I’ve always said that — keep the oil. We want to keep the oil, $45 million a month, keep the oil. We’ve secured the oil.”
        So, there you go, in stark, unambiguous & simple terms- We WILL fight endless wars and risk US lives to that end, as long as it's for oil. Witness Trump redeploying our troops from Kurdish NE Syria to the oil fields in the3 west, deploying 1800 or more of our troops to protect the Saudi oil facilities that apparently they can't defend despite having bought billions in destructive toys from us.
       Considering last night's chants of "Lock him up!" during the World Series, maybe Donnie Dumbo going someplace where there are a lot of cops wasn't such a smart idea. For good measure, he also insulted their Chief of Police for not being there.

         Another right winger bites the dust.

         "Give us Hell, Trump!"
         God, cops nowadays are stupid, hateful, racist cretins.

        
        If you live in Washington state, please be on the outlook for this missing native woman, Kaylee Mae Nelson-Jerry, and share this.Sh3e's been missing for three weeks and this is unusual for her. And, speaking of which...

         Some horror stories of Nome, Alaska. Nome is a city of just 4000 but have had an epidemic of rape that the police are disinterested in investigating because most of the victims are Native women.
