Welcome Back to Pottersville: Gotham City Digest

(Get involved.)

If you ever wondered what MINORITY REPORT would've looked like if it was written by a redneck, wonder no more.

So, Trump went to Mr.Rogers' neighborhood and swiftly got kicked in the nuts by Mrs. Rogers. Seriously, from here on in, Trump's life will be a Rodney Dangerfield routine.

She hasn't even won her race yet and she's already threatening the Squad. Thanks, Georgia voters, you redneck neanderthals.

This is how fascism starts. You call for pogroms, then pogroms develop.

“This is a president who does not so much govern the country as harass it. In fact, the flow of invective is so constant that it can become overwhelming, almost numbing — but must not be normalized just the same. This is especially true with respect to his repeated use of xenophobic, racist and misogynistic themes and tropes.” WaPo op-ed.

Let's talk about Joementum.

Meanwhile, this happened last July in Massachusetts. And, yes, the angry, racist old white woman is claiming SHE'S the victim.

“I think they’re going to do everything they can to suppress non-white votes. Legal, illegal, quasi-legal. That’s what they’re going to try to do because they think that’s the only way they can win.”

Hey, Stuart, newsflash: your old party has been suppressing the votes of people of color since long before the Civil Rights movement, long before Donald Trump was even born. You don't get to crawl away from this like a dog crawls away from its own fart. The Republican Party has been building to and preparing for Donald Trump since they were Dixiecrats. Trump and the virulent racism with which he's infecting this nation is the logical extension of conservatism, the shameful and shameless apotheosis of decades of white, Dominionist, racist Fifth Columnism.

This guy gets it:

Meme intermission.

"I think Trump’s first and only concern was his hair. I think he knew his hair would not be a good enough reason to cancel, so he searched for a “good” reason—and decided to malign fallen heroes. I suspect, to his way of thinking, fallen war heroes are nothing compared to his hair. That’s so petty as to be so inconceivable that no one is seeing the truth in plain sight."

Another insufferable right wing nut bag bites the dust. This is the low octane nutter who suggested that Park Rangers and snipers should take out BLM protesters. These remarks were made on June 26th. Why did her station wait all these months before pulling the plug?

And, speaking of delayed reactions...

     "In the year he’s been on Twitter, Moutos has amassed over 20,000 tweets on his account, many of which are attacks — including threats of violence — against prominent Democrats."
     He tweeted an average of 55 times a day and got paid over $100,000 a year. And his Twitter account is still active... WHY?
      Oh, that's right. WHITE and Republican.

And still elsewhere in the right wing, "It took us months of soul-searching before doing the right thing" files...
She was arrested June 3rd. So I guess it took the Texas GOP three months to decide who does and doesn't represent their "values."

Your Karen o' the day.

Read the entirety of this Twitter thread by this Fox reporter. It adds disturbing new details that even Jeffrey Goldberg didn't dig up in his Atlantic article.

If we're to believe Trump, Putin's a virginal choir boy who would NEVER do anything wrong and... Oh, look what China's doing!!!

The ‘Key Takeaways’ section of the next two drafts calls ‘Domestic Violent Extremists’ the ‘most persistent and lethal threat,’ rather than specifically naming white supremacists.”
Another white-washing from this white supremacist government.

Jesse Wattles and Greg the Gut are essentially calling their network hoaxers and scam artists for the Belleau Wood story it's already confirmed.

Trump's personal injury shyster, aka Bill Barr, is now officially a conspiracy theorist.

Even former cops are turning on Trump.

"Privacy" my sore ass. The COVID-19 statistics don't mention the names of individuals.

"Is not true. Is disservice to this great nation, whatever it's called."

Fear makes for strange bedfellows, does it not? Maybe the "Democrats" should focus on getting more support from real progressives instead of canoodling with a right wing that casually kills people. And maybe these Michigan officials both past and present ought to remember that, like Clinton on the eve of the 2016 election, Biden's already decided on not campaigning there. Maybe he and his campaign forgot that Trump "won" that state because the right wing with whom the Democrat Party is happily climbing into bed stole Michigan by throwing away tens of thousands of ballots in Detroit alone.

The closing act of this bowdlerized election cycle is beginning to look more and more like the closing image in ANIMAL FARM in which the humans turned into pigs and vice versa. (Tip o' the tin foil hat to Constant Reader, CC.)

According to Biden, the light bulb was invented by a black man, "not some white guy named Edison." He also said the audience would shoot him if he talked about his tax policies. So, this is the candidate who was forced on us, eh? God help us, every one.

Bless these people.

This has hair and warts all over it. No dash or body cams, nothing but their side of events.

Shorter Lady G: "Thank you, Sugar Daddy, for putting out the fire you started."

Police are just thugs and assassins with pensions.

Quid pro quo, eh? That's a new one.

If you find out your choice for president is spending a huge chunk (Like, $54.8 million) of your donations on his legal fees, it's time to back another guy.

"Liberal, aggressive foul-mouthed Jew?" What does his religion have to do with anything? This is the kind of thing a Dominionist religious bigot and anti Semite like Sarah Sanders would say.

"Unfortunately for Cadet Bone-Spurs, he's losing the suckers and losers. A poll released this week by Military Times found that 50 percent of active duty military members have an unfavorable view of Trump, with only 38 percent approving of him." Why would anyone in uniform be enough of a sucker to support such a loser as Trump?

Said the White House, they're axing anti-racism training to "ensure that Federal agencies cease and desist from using taxpayer dollars to fund these divisive, un-American propaganda training sessions."

Yes, that's a direct, actual quote from the Very White House.

Way to go, Markie Mark. You just fucked up yet another presidential election. And finally...

If the terrorist's niece loves Trump and America so much, then why doesn't she move here? Oh, right. Muslim ban. (Another tip o' the tin foil hat to Constant Reader, CC.)
