Gotham City Digest
(Where sometimes we don't listen to the ghosts of our ancestors.)
Now that we've carried out what was essentially a terrorist action, war crime and human rights violation
against Iran that may've touched off WW3 by an impeached president,
I'm thinking of the movie, WAG THE DOG. Anybody else?
The closest one can get to real magic in the real world.
Australia's in flames, 17 people & half a billion animals dead.
The Amazon's still burning.
4.0 quake in LA.
IQ 45 just killed #2 guy in Iran.
We're barely out of the 2nd day in the new decade.

But thank God we have Coachella, huh?
4 years ago, this fucking idiot had no idea who Soleimani was. Last night Trump ordered him assassinated him like a mob boss. On sovereign foreign soil. From his golf course. After telling his son Eric & leaving Congress in the dark.
Well, so much for ending endless wars.
#BernieSanders isn't the only one calling Soleimani's killing an assassination: So's Fox.
This is what happens when the government doesn't regulate the shit out of these crooks. These Christian "health care sharing" outfits are essentially stealing money from their members and giving nothing back. And they're allowed to get away with this highway robbery because it's not insurance.
40 years ago, we were trained to hate the Ayatollah Khomeini. 40 years later, we're being trained to hate Soleimani by the same psychopaths who 20 years ago trained us to hate Saddam Hussein.
My buddy Charles Pierce's column in ESQUIRE is always a good place to go in fucked up times like this.
Only right wing stubbornness would allow a church to lose a significant percentage of its congregants over something that was hardly ever addressed in the Bible.
After Thursday night, I think we could use a nice story, no?
Iran announces they found a new oil field with 53 billion barrels. Less than two months later, we assassinated their #2 guy. Hmmm...

The FBI raided the home and office of a lobbyist. No wonder the Trumps claim not to know him.
Meme intermission.
More quid quo pro from this crime wave of an "administration." Now, we're bribing the Iranians with offers of aid and the lifting of sanctions if they don't retaliate against us. This has Trump's grubby fingerprints all over it. This alone is an impeachable offense.
Because after Trump committed a war crime by assassinating Iran's #2 man, we needed gravitas this week that gave us, instead, a fat, hasbeen right wing rocker named Meat Loaf calling Greta Thunberg "brainwashed." From the looks of him nowadays, I predict Meat Loaf's next single will be "Paradise by the Frigidaire's Light."
So, how's that deescalation thing working out, Donnie Dumbo?
War profiteer stocks jumped after we took out Soleimani. Gee, I didn't see THIS coming. < /snark>
Trump is essentially grooming Republicans like a pedophile grooms children.
"One official described the planning for the strike as chaotic. The official says that following the attack on an Iraqi base which killed an American contractor circa Dec. 27, Trump was presented a menu of options for how to retaliate. Killing Suleimani was the 'far out option'."

Yet, less than a week later, that's what he did.
Digby asks how we're just now finding out that Bill Barr is a theocratic psychopath.
The map shows the results of a 2013 WIN/Gallup International survey
asking people which country they felt was the greatest threat to world
peace. Imagine what it must look like now since Trump attacked Iran.
Sweet Jesus, Republican voters are dumber than dog shit. The other two on the list were Pence and Nikki Haley. So, yeah, slim pickin's.
Meanwhile, this incredible exchange occurred between the House's legal counsel and one of Trump's judges.
Judge Rao: “So you do have some methods of self-help that don’t require this court to intervene?”
Letter: “Absolutely. We can send the Sergeant at Arms, and he can go have a gun battle with –”

Judge Rao: “Why not avail yourself of that remedy?”
Letter: “The reason is obvious.”
Judge Rao: “Why is it obvious?”
Wow, that didn't take long. They're already troweling out the apocalyptic articles.
America. What a country. And finally...
The White House is now officially defying a court order to turn over 40 pages of emails, even with redactions. Again, something an innocent man would TOTALLY do.
