Welcome Back to Pottersville: Gotham City Digest

(Trumpish for, "very stable genius.")

So, this is the guy whom you wanted to replace Joe Biden, huh?

OK, I have to ask- Are you Democrat voters SURE Joe Biden is the hill you wanna die on?

Poor guy. I think we're going to see an uptick in cases like this as the virus REALLY spreads. Sorry, with our shitty leadership, I don't see COVID going away anytime soon. Kudos to the NYPD for their fine work in this case.

Portnoy's new complaint.

Instead of just giving up on this whackjob and allocating resources elsewhere, the Oregon GOP is reluctantly supporting a QAnon conspiracy theorist because she's the nominee.

Trump's already resuming his Marie Antoinette lifestyle, I see.

"(T)he entire GOP= which just nominated a QAnon believer as its Senate candidate in Oregon- is becoming a modern-day Know Nothing Party, a cesspool of prejudice and irrationality. What was once the fringe has now moved into the mainstream- and will become even more prominent as a result of the coronavirus crisis." - Das Boot

The Trump maladministration just allowed oil companies to set their own royalty rates for drilling on public land, meaning they'll wind up paying next to nothing. And all under the guise of pandemic relief they plainly don't need nearly as much as the labor force.

In a crowning irony, Donald Trump is a mark and Brad Parscale is the con man who's scamming him. And the really ironic thing is that the squeezes of Trump's own sons, Lara and Kimberly, are making out like bandits through Parscale's largesse.

Only Ivanka would take a grueling ordeal brought about by desperation and turn it into a PR opportunity for a cycling federation.

“The COVID virus has been a gift from God,’ began Ken Eldred. ‘The kingdom of God advances through a series of glorious victories, cleverly disguised as disasters.’"

Yeah, let's hear more conspiracy theories about Obama's death panels.

When the going gets tough, the tough get going... back to their home states for a nice vacation.

But, but... Uranium One! I'll bet you still haven't heard about the harpist at the Madison Dinner, have you? Yeah, we paid for that. Next, we'll be hearing about Pompous Maximus hosting orgies with hothouse grapes and gladiators.

Today, the NY Times published just the names of 1000 people who've died from coronavirus... just one percent of all those who have died from it in the last couple of months.

If Hitler lived in the digital age, this is exactly what he would've done.

Another example of the anti Blue State bias by the fascist twat in the White House.

This is a synecdoche that highlights a much more massive problem- When corporations are allowed to turn away state health officials and the officials are then mollified with emails claiming precautions are being taken. State and federal health officials are legally empowered to call law enforcement when prevented from conducting state and federal business. But this official in Tennessee chose not to "escalate" matters.

Meme intermission.

Boy, I'm sure glad Trump drained that swamp, aren't you?

I believe this is what they call "karma." Sorry, I have zero sympathy for Allen fucking West.

We're all angry, at least those of us who have the sense to be angry at the right people.

"Human capital stock"?! WTF is the matter with these people?!

When flab makes right. IDIOCRACY is now complete.

"In a span of less than nine months, we have seen the president of the United States, apparently just spitballing, suggest detonating nuclear bombs inside hurricanes and injecting household disinfectants into human bodies. Lest we forget — and the human mind cannot encompass all the absurdities — Donald Trump also suggested buying Greenland from the Danish government, and that one wasn’t a freestyle brainstorm yanked directly from his capacious ass."

“It happens but it’s very infrequent and it’s not something confined to Democrats. The most prominent case was a Republican doing it. So I think Republicans should not push back on this in the way that they are.”

Look for Trump to try to pump federal funding for OANN's conspiracy theory channel.

It's no coincidence that the most infected countries in the world are those led by oppressive dictatorships, especially right wing governments like England's, ours, Sweden's and Brazil's.

And where were the police when they massed in front of the governor's house and hung him in effigy while sporting weapons? Oh, yeah Open Carry and WHITE.

So, the clown that stole control of the coronavirus task force and fucked up the response, fucked up the Middle East peace plan and just about everything else he's put his grubby fingerprints on is now going to shrink the 56 page GOP platform "down to a single card that fits in people's pockets." This will include the complete eradication of the word "freedom" because it'll be off-putting to black voters who aren't going to vote Republican, anyway. Oh, this will be entertaining.

I can't convey in words how ashamed I am of this country right now in light of the emerging stupidity, hatred, ignorance and racism that's encouraged by our "president."

Church is essential but golf, obviously. is even more essential.

I'm sorry but every time I hear the phrase "black Republican", I have to laugh at those Uncle Toms. And finally...

Why can't Americans, albeit the stupidest carbon-based life forms on the planet, understand that both men are demented and manifestly unfit for the office of the presidency?
