Welcome Back to Pottersville: Gotham City Digest: 9/11 edition

(That's a cross burning I could live with.)

Trump used his Two Minutes o' hate last Wednesday to nominate Supreme Court Justices, despite there being no vacancies. And Tom Cotton couldn't wait to completely fuck up his nonexistent nomination by vowing to go after Roe v Wade.

Trumpie the Krazy Konservative Klown attacks Bob Woodward for quoting him in his own words.

"You have to wonder how many screws loose this man has." -Trump biographer.

Graphic from the Maddow Show. Never before has Back to School shopping involved body bags.

Maddow said that if this was a TV show, it would be the episode where the president resigns.

Woodward's coming under fire for hiding crucial public health information. As well he should be.

The Trump Train rally also featured a pickup dragging a BLM banner. Now they've threatened four black men who have no connection to it.

And the Republicans, starting with you, never even mentioned Jacob Blake's name at your national convention. That's because you're the party of Lincoln- Namely, George Rockwell Lincoln. That's where you're coming from.

There's something endlessly pathetic about a "man", for want of a better word, so starved for attention and affirmation of his bloated megalomaniacal self perception that he thinks networks ought to be complicit in that delusion. He really has no concept of how essential a free and independent press is to a functioning democracy.

QAnon's now come full circle and has infested Germany.

One more time: When you elect right wingers, especially fascists like Trump, Orban or Balsonaro, economic and social ruin IS absolutely inevitable.

Gee, Republican collusion with Russian spies to skew the general election. If only there was some precedent that could've warned us about this...

Says the washed-up movie star of a school shooting movie.

Vote-caging Republican scum lose yet again.

Meanwhile, let's hear from another Woodward, one with scruples.

Meme o' the day.

Of course he's proud of himself for protecting a fellow lying, murderous tyrant.

Why don't they just hold canvas tent revivals like Billy Sunday and the other hucksters of old?

"Can't I just recite the Russian pledge of allegiance? It's the same thing."

Trump just threatened protesters if he wins. It's a moot issue at this point because there's no fucking way he's going to win.

I love it when assholes like this attack and eat each other.

Under Bush, we allowed our bags to be searched at sports stadiums and airports, took off our shoes and did everything we were told in the name of safety.

Nearly 20 years later, we're babies who refuse to wear masks in the name of safety.

Missouri sports fans are now officially the worst ones in the nation.

This has been going on for four years, meaning this theft of the FDNY Health funds began under Obama. It just accelerated under Trump.

"(P)oliticians have long known that angry voters are loyal voters." It's OK to feel anger. It's part of the human experience. And sometimes, anger is necessary when aimed at the right targets, such as this fascist administration.

Considering the role she was playing at the time, I guess Frances did her job.

Opening schools is insane. Public schools aren't profit centers, not part of the economy. You have one infected teacher in charge of a class of 30-35 students. That vector could infect any number of those students, who then import it to their families, some of which could be large. That's a nightmare waiting to happen and it's starting to happen right now, from kindergartens to colleges, coast to coast.

It shouldn't surprise anyone who's been paying attention that Trump wanted to have sex with Michael Cohen's 15 year-old daughter.

Meet the 14 martyrs who died for the Cause. About half of these murders by cops and civilians remain uncharged. Four of these murders were committed on June 1st alone.

Perhaps my Supreme Court history is a bit rusty but didn't the SCOTUS rule a long time ago that poll taxes are illegal?

Apparently, the blithering idiots running Blithering Idiot Zero's campaign managed to misspell "Nobel."

Believe it or not, this crooked cop serial burglar is still employed by the department, despite being caught on tape robbing a dead man's house three times.

Donald Trump's nonstop stream of lies about 9/11, itemized by CNN. All that remains is for Antifa to be blamed by him for causing 9/11.

I am going to literally drink the tears of butthurt Republican voters on Election Night out of a martini glass.

Shorter Trumpie the Krazy Konservative Klown: "Joe Biden's such a great candidate, he must be on anabolic steroids." And finally...

They didn't actually expect us to believe that the unemployment rate just mysteriously dropped 2.7% since last month for no reason, did they? These numbers weren't massaged, they were jerked off with pipe wrenches. (Tip o' the tinfoil hat to Constant Reader, CC.)
