Gotham City Digest: Impeachment Day edition
(Pass the laxative.)
Geez, Jimmy Carter's back in the hospital. Please get well soon, Mr. President.
If you ever saw the Australian speculative fiction movie, THESE FINAL HOURS, this is a remarkably similar scenario at least as far as Oz goes. I hope all my Aussie friends are OK.
This is probably the best news I'll hear all day. The astoundingly corrupt PLCAA was finally struck down by the Supreme Court. The PLCAA or Protection of Lawful Commerce in Arms Act, actually protected gun manufacturers from legal liability when their products were used after mass shootings. After Sandy Hook, company executives were caught in leaked emails licking their chops and rubbing their hands after Sandy Hook, and looking forward to "the Newtown bump" in sales.
Ethnic cleansing, looting and random executions are continuing in northeast Syria. Thanks again, Donnie Dumbo. But, we got the oil. Nice to know we have our usual priorities in order.
This is exactly how a dictatorial, Orwellian nightmare of a government operates- In the dark.
I cannot fathom what goes through the minds of people that would do this to the sweetest, most adorable and unconditionally loving animals on earth. This is exactly the kind of sociopathic dick move the Chadwicks would pull on these puppies.
You might say, "These HAVE to be Photoshopped!" but these photos of the wild horses of Iceland are not.
Is Fiona Chadwick back in town? Some right wing moron is hiding books in an Idaho library that are critical of Trump. As if hiding a copy in one small town library is going to keep the truth about Trump from getting out.
Harlan Ellison wasn't the easiest guy to get along with but his sensibilities about paying the fucking writer were spot on.
Uh, WHAT?! First, we split the fucking atom, then we started cloning, then we started making robots with artificial intelligence, now we're weaponizing the WEATHER?! Yeah, all this Godplay will turn out well.
Naturally, everyone in right wing media is screaming about this and accusing the whistleblower of getting rich off this, all without a trace of irony.
Schoolkids reading to shelter dogs. This is such a cool idea.
It's obvious they do no vetting in this shit show of an administration. As well as she landed, she was being considered for an even bigger position at Foggy Bottom, a department that had a billion dollar budget until Congress blew the whistle on her. She's STILL at the State Dept.

To put this in context- Even just to get a shit job flipping burgers at
McDick's or working as a drone at a factory requires several interviews,
including a pre-interview and having your job history scrutinized with a
fine tooth comb.
This woman has an important job at the US State Department making six figures a year. She has a phony resume and, like Trump, a fake TIME magazine cover.
For many teachers, teaching is a profession, a source of income, To others such as the late Tammy Waddell, it was a calling. She was a teacher literally to the very end.
Meme intermission.
I guarantee you this is the most beautiful turtle you'll see all year if not ever. It literally looks like a work of art.
More right wing rat-fuckery from the corporate douchebags of Fuckbook. This is a result of Warren calling for this shit domain to be broken up into smaller entities.
I'm working on two new novels simultaneously right now. One is a prequel to my 2015 novel, GODS OF OUR FATHERS. In the course of my ongoing research, I learned there was a massive influx to Canada of fugitive slaves. Many had stayed in the US in the free northern states such as New York, Massachusetts and so forth. Many, still fearing capture under the Fugitive Slave Act of 1850, continued on the Underground Railroad to its ultimate terminus of Canada where they couldn't be extradited. The subject of my prequel, Shadrach Minkins, was just one of them. This article doesn't mention Canada's rich African history. Yet, during the 1800's, many escaped slaves saw Canada as the ultimate safe harbor in North America and their descendants still live in Canada to this day.
This goes back 2½ years but it's still pretty indicative of the shocking lack of quality in Trump's nominees to the federal bench. One, Matthew S. Petersen, was so ignorant of the law that when pressed by Sen. John Kennedy of Louisiana, couldn't even define basic legal terms and procedures. Brett Kavanaugh got a failing mark from the Bar Association. By contrast, every single nominee that Obama made to the federal bench was given a passing grade by the Bar Association, including Merrick Garland, to whom "Grim Reaper" McConnell wouldn't even give a hearing.
Trump really is trying to turn us all into rotting corpses, isn't he?
Send in the clowns? They're already here.
So, this is where we're at now- Special Counsel investigated Trump campaign. Trump administration through Barr is investigating the investigators. Now the Senate Dems are asking for an investigation into the investigators who are investigating the investigators.

Another week of this shit and we'll need a scorecard and Abbot and Costello to keep this straight for us.
Counterterrorism expert Malcolm Nance tells us what keeps him up at night- And it's truly terrifying because these things are happening.
Giuliani's defense consists of, "Trump only spent a few moments on that call engaging in some illegal quid pro quo."

Just like each senator only spent one or two seconds of their careers assassinating Julius Caesar.
In other words, what's a little corruption among friends, right?
Well, THIS certainly came as a shock to my system. Thank goodness I was already sitting down.
Here's something you never see, anymore- Employees actually taking time out of their busy days to reduce stress for their boss.
Do we provide mental services to these migrant kids? This casually sadistic administration? Are you serious?
Here there be dragons.
Looks as if we've overthrown yet another Socialist democracy.
Today, Ambassador Taylor is a rock star in these #ImpeachmentHearings.
Some high comedy during the #impeachmenthearings And finally...
"Russia, if you're listening... Oh wait, you already are."
