Gotham City Digest

(Fixed it.)

   Imagine resting in peace for 3000 years only to have it revealed you sounded like Pee Wee Herman?

    This is the arrogant asshole that removed Harriet Tubman from the $20 bill. Yes, a guy who used to make bad movies and evict 93 year-old women from their homes over pennies is in charge of the largest economy on earth.

   This right winger waylaid Elizabeth Warren in Iowa last Thursday for no reason. He wanted to know, since he'd saved up to put his daughter through college, if he'd get his money back. "Of course not," she said. So now he's playing the victim because he won't get reimbursed under Warren's student debt forgiveness proposal.
    What this right wing nut bag seems to forget is that her proposal is to help those get out from under the yoke of usury. That he wouldn't qualify for the program because he'd saved up and paid for his daughter's higher education out of his own pocket. In other words, he didn't "get screwed for doing the right thing" because he wasn't saddled with decades of student loan debt that would've been 70% interest.
     But right wingers can't be reasoned with, especially these days.

     Another needless murder of a female journalist.

     Sounds as if someone's been watching too many mafia movies.

     "The Boy Scouts of the Border Patrol." No, nothing like the Hitler Youth League.

     He bribed them with campaign contributions, golf outings to Camp David. Now he's resorting to medieval threats to put their heads "on a pike" if they vote against him.
     So he's hearing something on Capitol Hill that we're not.

     Blatant bigotry targeting #LGBT folks during this flaming dumpster fire of an administration has become normalized. Of course Pence would be there.

    McConnell is running a ‘scam’ to keep Bolton from testifying, plain and simple. Of course, it won't work since it's all but certain Bolton will testify in the impeachment trial. It won't change the fixed, predetermined verdict but it'll put pressure on Republican scum who voted to acquit.

    Mike Pompeo is a good man, a Christian man, a godly man o' God. He's also a complete right wing asshole and rage monster when asked why he won't defend Marie Yovanovitch.
     Then the F bombs start dropping...

     This is Pompous Maximus' whiny response the next day to his flaming train wreck of an NPR interview. Note he never addresses his screaming and cursing at her in the green room and even lies about her pointing out Bangladesh on the map instead of Ukraine. This asshole's a mini Trump. This is almost like the Hurricane Dorian Sharpie map all over again.

     First, it was no casualties, then there were 11, now the number of US soldiers with brain injuries is up to 34. "They're just headaches. It's not like they got bone spurs or anything," said Commander Covfefe from the billionaire playground at Davos.

     Ironically, the name of this racist high school is Barbers Hill.

     Better that than oil, plus it'll make the fish a lot happier.

     Another very fine person, one who thought it would be a good idea to run a fascist outfit in a recently Communist stronghold.
      Maybe he'll meet Stephen Seagall there, piss him off somehow and get his fucking neck broken.

     This is where we are right now in the land of the free, home of the brave- We have to train UPS drivers to spot and report signs of sex trafficking.

    While it's understandable that no one should trust anything Mike Pompeo says just on general principle, this journalist gives us explicit reasons why we shouldn't.

     This video of a mother fox willingly nursing baby koalas has gone viral for a good reason.

     The only novel actually written at Auschwitz is due to be published.

    Yes, he was legitimately pissed off that he couldn't hold fundraisers in the White House. He literally can't understand the concept of corruption because he thinks the whole world should be as corrupt as he, that such behavior should be the norm.

     Meme intermission.

     Trump sounds like an immature asshole when he calls his enemies, opponents and rivals names. But I really can't fault him for calling Joe Biden "Sleepy Joe."

     Don Lemon lost his shit when Rick Wilson inveighed against Trump last night. "Donald Trump couldn’t find Ukraine on a map if you had the letter u and a picture of an actual, physical crane next to it.” Never, not even during the worst of the Bush years, have I ever seen news hosts laugh so often at occupants of the Oval Office. And it's not just us, it's all over the planet.
     So, naturally, Donnie Dumbo responds by attacking Lemon on his ratings.

    A Fox poll from this morning shows half of all respondents, a majority well beyond the 3% margin of error, shows they want to see Trump removed from an office he never won, to begin with.

     God damn, this is tragic. Kobe was just 41, his daughter only 13 and had a daughter last June. RIP, Kobe.

     Meanwhile, speaking of Kobe's death, this wonderful bit of passive racism just went out over MSNBC.

     OK, unless Jeffrey Epstein's zombie was on that helicopter and caused the crash, Twitter better have a damned good explanation for this. (Tip o' the tinfoil hat to the Rude Pundit on Twitter for this priceless catch.)

    This is an incredible story of three men who were 10 men apart on a line at Auschwitz and met over 70 years later.

     Guess who’s in charge of security for the app being used in Iowa at all caucus locations to log the votes? Robby Mook, Hillary’s campaign manager from '16, one of the assholes who had his emails hacked by the Russians that year.

     Gwen Ifill, 2008: "Do you support gay marriage?"
     Biden: "No."
     That's pretty fucking unambiguous.
     7 years later, after Obergefell v. Hodges, the case that struck down gay marriage bans, Joe Biden was reported running around the White House like a five year-old wearing a rainbow flag like it was a cape. As if he was in favor of gay marriage all along.
      Joe wasn't. But Bernie was.

     Looks as if the Democrats, being your typical conservatives, refuse to learn anything from 2016. Tom fucking Perez,. the Chairman of the "Democratic" National Committee, has just stacked the three committees with Blue Dog and right wing ideologues. Among them: Hillary's former campaign manager John Podesta (D-Hacked), Barney Frank and Alex Padilla, who as CA Secretary of State, purged over 750,000 voters from the voting rolls. This has the clear earmarks of a contested convention. They're planning to steal the nomination from Bernie again even if it means putting Trump back in the White House. These fucking right wing assholes will never, EVER learn.

     This is a point I've been meaning to make for a while- Republicans fearing Trump (or his rabid fan base) apparently don't or won't understand this is a child they're dealing with. If they spring him, this won't be the end of his demands. It'll be something else then something after THAT. Acquitting him would be the ultimate abdication of the rule of law, the ultimate get out of jail free card.

     The Red Cross's director basically admitted they were stealing over $10 million they collected for the Australian brush fires. You'd have to be a total moron to give a cent to the Red Cross. I'll never forget the time they took in a half a billion after the Haitian earthquakes.
     They built them six corrugated tin shacks.

     Even though I think it's unfair to the rest of us when a public figure gets a book fast-tracked ahead of everyone else's, John Bolton's memoir, "The Room Where It Happened”, has a tentative launch date for St. Patrick's Day.

     Another good reason not to use Uber. If you download their app, you automatically waive your rights to sue them if you get injured in an accident.

     Right wing scum profiting off the tax scam bill. Wow, that was a shock to my system. I may have to lie down after that.

     And so the backlash against American Dirt begins...

     Your Awww moment of the day: Firefighters feeding baby koalas.

     The 28th Native woman to disappear in a Montana county.

     Didn't these guys get a shout out in THE WIZARD OF OZ?

     This is one of the most amazing things I've seen this year: Walking, wind-powered structures.

     We need to get rid of this racist asshole and the right wingers on the Supreme Court who support him. They just ruled yesterday that you can't come in if you're not rich enough.

     I guess Pompous Maximus has thinner skin than we thought.

     Who else is up for renditioning this piece of shit Eddie Gallagher and dropping him right in front of our embassy in Baghdad?

     Brainless cult: Check.
     Unconditional devotion to Dear Leader: Check.
     Drinking something that'll kill you: Check.
     Carry on, my wayward sons and daughters.

     It was 34 years ago today. Never forget them.

     Speakink off Dear Leader's impeachment ist VERBOTEN! MACH SCHNELL! And finally...

     Crook under impeachment hammers out deal with crook under indictment without input from Palestine. This ought to end well.
