Gotham City Digest

(Jean Gnome?)

I cannot stress enough how powerful is this image. Those are 88 pairs of empty crepe shoes to represent the number of American nurses who've lost their lives due to COVID-19.

It's about fucking time. Keep in mind, people, Ahmaud Arbery's lynching happened on February 23rd. And they waited all this time to arrest and charge these redneck assholes. I can't look at these photographs of these rednecks getting arrested enough times.

Oh, by the way, in case you're wondering why it took Georgia police so many months to arrest the McMichaels, it's because they were blocked by the DA. It ought to be mentioned that McMichael père used to work for Jackie Johnson, who considered him a "friend."

Meme intermission.

It seems as if 9000 Catholic churches scarfed up a big portion of those PPP loans. I think this is a good time to point out that actual small businesses pay fucking taxes. Let the fucking Vatican baiil them out. They have trillions in cash, investments and other holdings.

I'm seriously unfriending and blocking anyone on Facebook for advancing this discredited conspiracy theory video "Plandemic." Between this right wing piece of shit and the one Michael Moore produced ("Planet of the Humans"), we're really getting inundated with a massive pile of shit that's vainly trying to pass itself off as "alternative facts."

The Department of Justice is essentially a giant mob law firm.

Trumpie the Klown called in to Fox & Frauds and boasted that he learned a lot from Nixon such as, get this, "don't fire people." Essentially, he admitted he learned a lot from Tricky Dick's example such how to not get caught by not having incriminating tapes.

In other words, KARE 11 just admitted they're the prison bitches of the rabid right wing.

Like Jimmy Kimmel said, this empty box PR stunt of Pence's is the perfect metaphor for this administration.

This would be the most sane humane and necessary bill to come out of Congress since the pandemic hit.

Therefore, it is guaranteed to die in committee.

Then today, of course, she blamed CNN for her calling Trump a "racist" and "a sideshow." "It was your misleading headlines", she said.

“Even the Democrats aren’t blaming me for that.” You're obviously not listening, asshole.

Orange Man Bad.

“Which means the presidential race will be not just about who can better return the country to normalcy amid the virus’s continuing rampage. It will also be about who can better rebuild the economy and protect millions of Americans suffering through the worst economic calamity in nearly a century.”

I'm sorry but I just don't see Biden doing this, either. Both he and Trump are lying, billionaire-coddling sociopaths. And because of these choices foisted off on us by the two shockingly corrupt monolithic parties, we're guaranteed to be looking at a great depression that may be even longer than the first one that took a world war to get us out of.

Yeah, Trump called his boss in the Kremlin to give him a status report then called the guy he fired "a hero" for lying to his vice president and the FBI.

COVID-19 has stripped away all the magic of capitalism. And finally...

Shorter McSally office: "Sen. McSally said out loud the part that's not supposed to be said out loud." (Tip o' the tinfoil hat to Constant Reader, CC.)
