Gotham City Digest: Super-sized edition

("Я, Дональд Трамп, величайший царь всех времен!")

     Well, looks as if someone at MSNBC had some fun with the closed captioning today.

    Naturally, right wing media's all over this and, yeah, that Iowa voter was plainly a right wing conspiracy theorist but to be fair, Old Joe didn't acquit himself very admirably in Iowa that day. Regardless of how obnoxious some voters are, you can't go around calling voters, especially in an important caucus state, a "damned liar." Jesus, that was even worse than Mitt Romney's "Corporations are people, too, my friend," moment in Iowa in 2011.

      I can't believe I never heard of this when this story broke over three years ago. This is what the Pentagon's wasting over a half a billion taxpayer dollars on: Fake terrorist videos. Since, you know, Trump totally defeated the ISIS caliphate and we have to manufacture terrorist acts now.

       #somanycoincidences

       Trumpie the Klown calling his critics traitors is the ultimate projection.

       Why won't this toxic termagant just go away? My God, she's as self-centered and petty as Trump and that's saying something.

       Remember back in the good old days when the whole world made jokes about Kim Jong Il?
       Well, we're North Korea now.

       First Pearl Harbor now Pensacola. WTF is going on with the Navy?

      Those fascist corporate cunts at Twitter have been shadow-banning liberals for well over a decade. This just makes it official. They already had the policy in place and had been lying and gaslighting us all this time.

       Even Fox's infamously skewed polling shows #Bernie winning by 5. #FeelTheBern #Bernie2020

      This is the new reality: All Trump has to do is lie about a trade deal with China and the Dow Jones jumps off Lover's Leap. Who cares if he’s not even close to any deal?

       Fixed it for you, Nikki Haley: The Confederate flag is about "service (treason), sacrifice (losing the right to own other humans), and heritage (slavery, rape, lynching), until Dylann Roof hijacked it (exposed the south for what it is)". You're welcome.

       Our allies. The Pensacola shooter came from the country that sent us 15 of the 19 9/11 hijackers, murdered Jamal Khashoggi and where Trump sent 1800 of our troops to guard their oil fields.

     When Broken Windows meets racial profiling. “You are stopping too many Russian and Chinese,” the Commander complained.

       This was from three years ago but I seriously doubt that he's dipped below 56 points since then.

       Meme intermission.

       Did the Saudi king also apologize for murdering and dismembering our citizen Jamal Khashoggi, pulling off 9/11 then covering it all up? Fun factoid, Donnie Dumbo: Not a single Latin American refugee has ever killed people on a US military installation.

     Fox "News" host says unlike Biden, Trump doesn't take insults "personally" and isn't "combative." She actually said this just a few days after Donnie Dumbo stormed out of the NATO summit after hearing world leaders laughing at him. A tangerine has a thicker skin than Trump.

     Of course, there are no mass shootings here in the US involving Israeli citizens. They're too busy doing that to Palestinians in the West Bank.

     So, here's Moscow's Mayor, Rudy Giuliani, engaging in illegal acts and tweeting about them in real time. This bird, Andrii Telizhenko? At midnight, they were in lounge bar of the Premier Palace Hotel, owned by close Putin ally, Russian oligarch Alexander Babakov. The hotel is well-known as den for Kremlin agents & Babakov is alleged Russian intel himself.

      As always, Trumpie the Klown has his finger right on the pulse of the nation's biggest problem: People flushing their toilets more than once a day. And the EPA, somehow, is going to stop that.

      Here, I'll save you a little time and just give you the scariest sentence in this entire article:
     "When Trump voters were told that President Vladimir Putin of Russia supported their candidate, they started admiring Mr Putin rather than abandoning Mr Trump."
      Don't forget, liberals and indies, these ambulatory organ donors also have the right to vote.

      From my friend Frances Langum (Blue Gal) at Crooks and Liars. The very fact that Trump's stooges like Giuliani are trying to defend him not in the United States Congress but with KGB operators from Ukraine tells you everything you need to know about Trump's ultimate allegiances and collusion with Putin.

     Another right wing scumbag bites the dust after NC court doesn't allow him to cheat with gerrymandered map. And, oh, speak of the Devil...

     ...yet ANOTHER right wing douchebag bites the dust, making three this week alone and 30 total. This yoyo Yoho once said the 2nd amendment gave people the right to own nukes.

      By now, I'm sure you've heard of Scorses's new movie, THE IRISHMAN. ROLLING STONE published a piece four days ago detailing Trump's ties to the mobsters in that movie. Another political name that didn't surprise me (in fact, I came to expect it) considering Delaware's long history and culture of corruption: Joe Biden.

      I'm liking Rashida Tlaib more and more these days, especially after this. She and the squad represent values for which Congress and our government should've been fighting for over seven decades but had not.

        Ben Shapiro orders a pizza.

       For years, I always wondered why we had troops in 53 of Africa's 54 countries. Now I know. Oil, gas, lithium, strategic strongholds. It would also explain why after nearly 20 years, we're still in Afghanistan. They have an estimated one trillion dollars in undeveloped minerals as well as potentially hundreds of billions of dollars worth of oil.

       The politics of white grievence and retribution predicted by HST is also what got Hitler elected Chancellor in Germany. To the aggrieved, it's enough to be merely recognized, to get a pointed finger and a shoutout during a rally.Who cares whether or not the guy who recognizes you actually comes up with solutions to alleviate your misery and pacify your anxieties?
      And this is why we're actually living through IDIOCRACY now. Because the smart and confident have been cowed and paralyzed by indecision by those who view cognitive thinking skills and education as something for coastal elites.

       Breaking: Another rich douchebag wins in court.

       What's it like working for Alex Jones? About what you'd expect, only worse.

       No, NBC, too shamelessly stubborn to drop out is not "durable."

      So what happens when you give the very poor $1000? The tide rises, lifting everyone's boat, at least according to the results of this experiment in Kenya.

       Looks as if wiggy Joni has been violating election laws.

       Well, as criminologists say, the criminal always returns to the scene of the crime.

      After nearly three years of this childish, reckless behavior, no one, especially Trump, has the right to be shocked when it finally catches up to him.

      It's out. Read it and weep. Or laugh.

      "Oh, the stupid is strong with this one."

      Well, THIS is an interesting conundrum!

      What a lot of people don't understand about these monthly jobs reports is that many of these "new jobs created" are really just the same minimum wage temp positions getting recycled month after month. Because of Trump's moronic and senseless trade wars, we're losing more manufacturing jobs than we're creating.

     Meanwhile, Trumpie the Klown is calling himself the "greatest of all presidents." Yes, he actually said this.

      I can hardly remember a time during my life when it had.

      I'm amazed CBS was able to resist the headline, "The Trouble With Tribble."

      You'd think that, after over 150 years, these goobers would've gotten over this by now. And finally...

     This rather shocked me. If Katie Hill had gone through with it and committed suicide, we'd be having a completely different discussion right now. As it is, the discussion we SHOULD have had, about right wing use of revenge porn and the double standards we apply to men and women in and out of Congress, we never had. After Hill was gone, it was as if the revenge porn carried out by her husband and that right wing sewer Red State never happened. Not a single fucking thing changed on Capitol Hill.
     Let's take stock- It was revealed Duncan Hunter was having at least five affairs behind his wife's back and using campaign contributions to finance them. He recently pleaded guilty to one count of fraud. Not only is he still in Congress, the Ethics Committwe that was going to go after Hill with hammers and tongs never investigated Hunter.
     Joe Barton, Congressman from Texas, was busted sending nude pictures of himself to a woman on the internet. No Ethics Committee probe, no censure, and he got to retain all his committee seats.
     This is just the tip of the iceberg but I'm sure you get my drift. There is a serious hypocrisy in this country as to what's permitted of men and what's permitted of women (especially bisexual women). Washington is the place where hypocrisy goes to thrive and is, as Rachel Maddow once said, the one crime in DC for which there's no punishment.
     There should be serious punishment for this hypocrisy, however.
