Gotham City Digest
(Wham, bam, thank you, mere mortal.)
How embarrassing, to live under a right wing ideology over an 80
year-long life only to be killed by your biggest right wing hero and his
policies.
It seems the most dangerous job in America is being a Trump fan. Look at Herman Cain, who attended his Tulsa rally without a mask. What a legacy to leave behind: He died so he could watch Trump drink a glass of water with one hand and walk down a ramp.
Your Karen o' the day.
You know what the difference is between Universal Mail-In Voting & Absentee Voting? Nothing. This is a one man crime wave and a blithering fucking idiot, to boot.
Pompous Maximus claims to have "fought on the East German border." That must have been right before the Bowling Green Massacre and the terrorist attack in Sweden. Brian Williams was one of his trench mates.
Welp, there goes the last sputtering weapon Trump had at his disposal in his reelection campaign.
So, Trump suddenly calls a press conference the exact moment Obama took the stage to deliver the eulogy at Rep. John Lewis' funeral and used the grieving relatives of murdered soldier Vanessa Guillen as an excuse to distract from Obama. Is it just me or is Trump getting more infantile as this summer stretches?
“We may no longer have to guess the number of jelly beans in a jar in order to cast a ballot, but even as we sit here there are those in power who are doing their darndest to discourage people from voting by closing polling locations and targeting minorities and students with restricted I.D. laws and attacking our voting rights with surgical precision even undermining the postal service in the run-up to an election that’s going to be dependent on mail-in ballots so people don’t get sick.” Obama yesterday at John Lewis's funeral.
Your Brad o' the day.
Joe Biden's campaign took in $240,000,000 in the last quarter alone yet that was just 16% more than the Trump campaign. So, while Trump vacuumed up well over $200,000,000 between April and June, he STILL hasn't paid his bills from 2015-6.
Susan Pompeo needed to go on a junket because it was “necessary to national security,” my sore ass.
$270,000 for coffee reimbursements? Who'd you buy coffee for, Davey, fucking Sweden?
The "controversial invocation" was delivered at a birthday for Nathan Bedford Forrest, the racist traitor who'd founded the KKK in Pulaski, TN in 1865. He may have resigned from the church but not his position as a state lawmaker.
I can't recall another time in my life when even one state governor called the president "'insane" and that "he's losing his mind". But the Governor of Rhode Island went there yesterday.
"Most troubling of all, perhaps, was a sentiment the expert said a member of Kushner’s team expressed: that because the virus had hit blue states hardest, a national plan was unnecessary and would not make sense politically."
Meme intermission.
I think the only thing that will save us from villainy is the fact that today's villains are a lot stupider than their historical predecessors. To wit: Getting bagged receiving dirt from a foreign country on someone of another party because of a DHL shipping label. Yes, there was a paper and electronic trail leading right back to Devin Nunes' rat's nest
Keep in mind, this goes back to 2010 and let's not forget who was president in 2010. Yes, Obama thought of us and journalists as "adversaries", a label the Trump shit show happily went with.
The Executive Branch can't defend itself against COVID-19.
The House can't defend itself against COVID-19.
The Senate can't defend itself against COVID-19.
The US Navy can't defend itself against COVID-19.
This government is falling like dominoes.
"The patent monopoly means that we are paying Moderna twice. We first picked up the tab for the research and the testing and now we are giving the company a patent monopoly so that it can charge people around the world as much as it wants for the vaccine."
Your co-Karen o' the day.
If election integrity is the states' job, then why do we have an FEC?
The Lincoln Project's new release isn't a short one minute ad but a six and a half minute-long short film starring Stephen Root. It's about a Republican that wakes up after a three and a half year-long coma and hears about what's been going on with the Trump administration since the car crash.
Schadenfreude: 100% loaded.
Republicans, start your screaming.
Another co-Karen o' the day.
Blithering fucking idiot.
Trump's vaccine czar just picked his own "former" company for a $2.1 billion contract, in which he still holds millions worth of stock.
"Negligent homicide" is a pretty fair and accurate way to put it.
You'd think there would be a red line beyond which Republicans (and Blue Dog Democrats) would cut their campaign contributors loose and apply a tourniquet on this heavily bleeding economy. But not if they belong to a death cult. They don't seem to care about reelection, the nation's physical or economic health or anything else except hurting the working class people they have historically loathed and despised.
"Did you molest an underage girl like me?"
"Yes."
"You're hired."
Sure you did, asshole. That's why minorities love you so much, right?
Now even Trump supporters can say with absolute veracity, "Donald Trump makes me sick."
Your co-Brad o' the day, Bible-banging edition.
"It is terrifying to have a president who is psychotic." Dr. Justin Frank
RBG's out of the hospital. While Trump trailed behind G7 leaders in a golf cart in 2017, RBG heard SCOTUS oral arguments in her hospital bed while undergoing cancer treatment.
It's not low income housing you have to worry about. It's racist slumlord scumbags like the Kushners and Trumps who buy and build them and bleed their tenants dry.
Remember on Inauguration Day when Trump narcoleptically said, "I am going to be the president for all America"? Yeah, forget about that, That was bullshit. From Digby: "Trump believed the virus would only hit blue states, which would work out great. So he let tens of thousands die." And finally...
Why, it's another Access Hollywood tape! In this episode, Donald Trump can't find his name in any polling place in NYC on Election Day 2004. That's because the future Russian Vice President was registered in Florida (albeit illegally, since Mar a Lago is designated as a resort, NOT a residence). Then Donnie Dumbo fills out an absentee ballot in New York state on camera, thereby committing the same violation he's screaming about now.
