Gotham City Digest

(At least the real Rocky fought the Russians.)

     July 8th, 2018. Yeah, this aged well. Like fine wine.

     Meet an 18,000 year-old puppy.

     I've been saying for years now that the thing that'll save this Republic is not the intelligence of the Democrats but the unparalleled stupidity of the Republicans.

     Uh huh, we took it from Daesh terrorists, which is good. But who now has the lion's share in the US? And whose gold was it, originally?
      Even more important than the gold, who has possession of the 50 nukes we left behind at Incirlik Air Base?

      This article came out five years ago on Wednesday but the statistics are no less horrifying. It's possible, I think, to observe Thanksgiving and have a wonderful feast while seriously and meaningfully observing the National Day of Mourning, now in its 50th year.

      Hot damn but this one of a kind baby really is a thing of beauty. It's fascinating to look at cars that were built 70-75 years ago in the immediate post-WW II era. There were a few auto designers both here and in Europe that designed sleek, futuristic cars like the tear drop models that were also aerodynamically literate. Unfortunately, the Big Automakers went with gas guzzlers that quickly became boxy and angular. I really wish they'd taken more of a visual cue from guys like Timbs and Preston Tucker and had given them a chance to show the world what they could do.

       I've said it before and I'll say it again- Right wingers are duplicitous cocksuckers. Jeremy Corbyn just discovered Tories were secretly negotiating with Trump's people to sell off the NHS and he's got the uncensored documents to prove it.

        This is one of the most amazing artists I've ever seen.

        Wednesday would've been Jimi Hendrix's 77th birthday.

     Yes, Donnie Dumbo just tweeted this last Wednesday. Didn't Rocky get his ass kicked by the black guy the first time then actually fight the Russians?

      I usually blow off campaign websites and the like from both sides because it's usually all bullshit & propaganda. But I saw this on Twitter and decided to read it. This was written by Mike Larsen, the guy who's challenging Jim Jordan for his seat in Ohio. And he had quite a compelling story to tell about a phone call he once took from a rape victim whose CO told her to "sleep it off."

     Native American girls describe the real history of Thanksgiving.

     The irony of this is too strong to resist.

     Anonymous will step out of the shadows before the 2020 elections, This should be interesting.

     This is one of the many things I love about my hometown of New York. It's always been a city of neighborhoods.

      Let us henceforth call her UPS Eunice.

      This is really interesting because two years ago, they were goners. Btw, in case you forgot, Toys 'R' Us is one of the countless companies that went under thanks to Mitt Romney's Bain Capital.

     These are the best takeaways from Judge Jackson's ruling that compelled Don McGahn's testimony before Congress.

     Meme intermission.

     Making America Great, one exploding chemical plant at a time.

     This is absolutely horrifying. When this came out nearly five years ago, 14 people died in prison because of this junk science, including some who may have been executed for crimes they never committed.

      OMG, she is totally ADORABLE!

      This is how fascism starts.

      Sure he's rattling his saber now that he knows Russian Vice President Trump has us set up. We're not gonna survive this shit show, are we?

      Not that I believe these bullshit numbers (and they ARE bullshit) but since when does being second mean being third?

       ICE just arrested 90 more students with their fake University scam. What, they couldn't lure them to Trump University?

      In a strange, macabre way, it's almost appropriate that Ruckelshaus would pass away during this time. He quit the government during one impeachment, lived through another and passed away during a third. He was a man of high integrity and it's a shame that his decades of service pales into obscuity because of one singular act of integrity- Refusing to fire Archibald Cox. AG Elliot Richardson had already resigned over the same thing. So Nixon had no recourse but to order his Solicitor General Robert Bork to fire Cox, which of course, being the ultimate right wing stooge, he did, with alacrity. That was pretty much the beginning of the end for Nixon.

      Rapist tells another rapist that he will designate people he once called rapists as terrorists, to boot.

      What a fascinating article. I never knew these guys all lived in the same city at the same time.

     Ken Cuccinelli walks into a bar. The former Maryland governor says, "We don't serve fascist assholes like you." He leaves. Isn't that a great laugh?

       More wingnut welfare for Fredo.

      Shocking, I know. All the top Nazis also committed suicide when the end was near.

    "The system just cannot work around a president whose main concern is committing and concealing wrongful acts. And that unfortunately describes the president the United States now has."

       And then there was Trump's OTHER turkey pardoning.

     Again, something Trump's doing that primarily benefits Russia. Again, I'm sure it's strictly coincidental. < /snark>

      I think by now it's become screamingly obvious right wing nut jobs from coast to coast are writing the most batshit insane abortion bills solely with the intention of having them challenged all the way to the Supreme Court so the right wing nut jobs on it can overturn Roe v Wade. That's why they're so deliberately offensive. They WANT them to get challenged in Washington.

       Who's your daddy NOW, asshole?

      I don't know what Thing One & Thing Two are going for here but what would you call this photo? Let me prime the pump: The only pair of balls in the Trump family.

       On Black Friday remember: Don't dress and drive.

    McConnell, talking about civility? The biggest problem with Republicans is that they're intellectually anemic. They're irony deficient.

       Oh, Trump's Rocky picture wasn't doctored? These people are completely insane.

       Asshole tanning? Good luck trying to build tanning booths for that.

       I think it's safe to say not only has the planet gone to the dogs, they've eaten it and are shitting out what's left of it.

        Black Friday? To me, it's Buy Nothing Day. Perhaps I'll buy a pack of butts and coffee creamer and that'll be it. I never take part in this madness.

        Three kids, two incomes, no home. There's no excuse for this. NONE.

      The Sand Creek Massacre happened 155 years ago today. It was commanded and carried out by Col. John Chivington, one of the worst monsters in all human history. About 200 men but mostly women and children were murdered and mutilated in cold blood by Chivington and his men, making My Lai look like a walk in the park. There was one Captain who'd, like Hugh Thompson, disobeyed orders. Unlike Thompson, he didn't threaten to open up on his own people yet the young captain also refused to take part in the massacre. Perhaps the most graphic description of the atrocities committed that day was written by that captain, Silas S. Soule himself, an abolitionist from Maine and a friend of John Brown. Soule would be murdered on the streets of Denver just 80 days later and three weeks after his wedding. As with the Sand Creek Massacre, no one was charged much convicted with Soule's murder. And finally...

      This infuriates me. The courts in three states gave this fucking asshole chance after chance and none of them did a single thing to help his poor wife, who's now dead.
