Gotham City Digest

(In dishonor of last night's vote.)

    That awkward moment when 75% of registered voters say witnesses should be allowed to testify in President Trump's Senate impeachment trial and only 4% of Republican Senators agree.

    Apparently, this evolutionary dropout thinks the F-35's are like Wonder Woman's plane.

   God damn, it's like Monica's blue cocktail dress all over again. The douchebag not only tried to rape her but prematurely ejaculated all over her.

    #Bernie just got a huge endorsement from the Postal Workers Union, 200,000 strong.

    Real profile in courage, that Hillary. I'm sure she would've acquitted herself quite well in white knuckle negotiations with the Russians and Chinese.

     All the stories you've ever heard about Amy Klobuchar being a monstrous rage beast are probably all true. This AP investigation shows that Amy Klobuchar isn't fit for the elected office of dog catcher, let alone president.

    Really, Gray Lady? This is all you got? Bernie nursing a grudge about the Dodgers leaving Brooklyn? How about the decades-long grudges still held by those psychopaths Trump & Hillary Clinton? This is why no one trusts you corporate douchebags any more.

     Meme intermission,.

     They blamed the wall falling not on shoddy workmanship but the concrete for not setting in time... in 100 degree weather.

     Meanwhile, this happened in my own state of Massachusetts a couple of days ago. A Harvard Science Dept. chair and a Chinese national were arrested at Harvard and Logan respectively. The professor was arrested for lying to the DoD about $50k a month payments from the Chinese government as well as millions more to set up a facility in Wuhan, China.
      You know, the epicenter of the pandemic that's already killed 177 in China and has been detected here at least twice? Yeah, THAT Wuhan.
     And the guy they got at Logan was caught trying to smuggle 21 vials of some undisclosed material but apparently potentially nasty shit that you used to see on THE AMERICANS.
      One spy who'd worked at BU and was a Chinese Army lieutenant (without divulging that on her visa application) made it back to China.
      So how come this Cold War spy shit hasn't made national headlines?

      If the stakes weren't so dire, I'd be laughing myself sick imagining these right wing asshats trying to play 20 Questions about the whistleblower with the Democrats.

     Some feel the heat, and decide that they can't go on.

    Since the EU gave Boris his damned Brexit deal with two days to spare, this is the only way Scotland can stay in the EU, by becoming fully autonomous. Hence the second independence referendum. I hope they get it done this time. Then it remains to be seen if Wales follows suit.

     Like wow, psychedelic.

     Democratic Socialism? Well, it isn't as bad as all that.

     "Don't challenge capitalism"? Oh, go fuck yourself, Moynihan.

     In case you were still wondering if Joe Manchin is as Republican as we say he is, read this. He won't support #Bernie if he's the nominee. He even said it on Fox.

   Ignoring #BernieSanders all these years has come back to bite both Democrats & Republicans. Now that #Bernie's back, bigger than ever, both sides now have to contend with him. And they have no idea how to go about doing that. #Bernie2020 #FeelTheBern

    This is exactly why Republican scum wouldn't allow Bolton to testify in the Senate. They're scared shitless of him.

     Farm bankruptcies were up 20% in 2019. Another 5 years of Trump and we'll be buying all our grain and wheat from fucking China.

    You'd think it'd be in the HMOs' best interests to keep their policy holders alive but you'd be wrong.

     John who?

     Aw, Fuckbook lost $30+ billion. Good. Maybe they'll think better before fiddle fucking with two straight general elections. That is, if Facebook is still around in 2024.

     I literally felt like vomiting after reading these latest details in the Weinstein rape trial. Yes, they're that disgusting.

     Undeclared right wing attempting to hamstring Sanders yet again by proposing superdelegates should vote on the first ballot. We need to broker this fucking convention.

     If Yovanovitch had to go, better it be on her terms and not those of the shrieking man-child squatting in the Oval Office.

      She called us "basement dwellers" and "Bernie Bros," illegally invaded Libya & set women's rights back 1000 years, called POC "super predators", said "Nobody likes" #Bernie, & whined years later that he didn't endorse her quickly enough. Clinton certainly deserves the hashtag #BooHillary.

      Color me unimpressed when a corporation valued at over $1,000,000,000,000 brags about paying a billion in taxes after paying negative taxes in 2017-8 and fought tooth and nail in Seattle against the head tax.

     Trump shysters admit they’re withholding White House emails on Ukraine scandal hours after Senate vote.

     CBS showed people in Nyack, New York what wealth inequality really looks like. The bottom tier didn't even get crumbs. They got a bill for the pie.

     Define irony: A hasbeen who lost to a guy who can't spell "hamburger", won the Nevada caucus with a coin toss & rigged the '16 election for her benefit now says the Iowa caucus is "undemocratic" when it looks as if #Bernie will win it.

      "I have been a Republican my whole life. No more. Not while Donald Trump remains the head of the party, and the Senate’s Republicans have stood nearly united behind him, rejecting patriotism to protect him.”
     Shorter Sophia Nelson: "I'll tiptoe back in the minute Trump's gone."

    Remember that one of Trump's impeachment shysters, Pat A. Cipollone, was hip-deep in the in the swamp of the Ukraine scandal.

     All hail the awesome power of beer.

     I remember reading a story years ago about when Mary Higgins Clark was broke and writing her first novel at her kitchen table in Cape Cod. True, she got all the breaks I didn't but I, too, write all my novels at my kitchen table. So I take a tiny bit of inspiration from that. RIP, Mary.

      Jesus, all these Kentucky hillbillies need is a black banner written in Arabic and they're all set.

      Well, the bloody bastards finally did it. All so they could get their damned tax cuts.

     I'm amazed I've never heard of this little guy. Back in his day, he was considered radical and deranged. Nowadays, he'd be a Bernie Bro. And finally...

      I've heard a lot of my FB friends ask how they see ads on Facebook right after buying something either online or in the real world. Well, it's no secret that scumbag conglomerates like Facebook and Amazon share that kind of information. But what about if your purchase was made at a brick and mortar store in the real world? Well, then the answer is a lot more complex and scarier.

One of the gun nuts was quoted as saying, "I'm just supporting my right to bare arms, anything that limits your right to bare arms is unconstitutional."

But the dude was dressed in long sleeves.;)

Maybe there ought to be a Constitutional amendment that mandates a proper education with an emphasis on correct punctuation and homophones.
