Gotham City Digest: Halloween edition


(Or "My Attorney Got Arrested", etc.)
     A long, interesting interview with Noam Chomsky. I'm not sure I agree with him when he says that Trump is the worst criminal in human history. I think he's too lazy and incompetent for such a distinction. Where do you define that kind of distinction? With actual accomplishments or just mere intent?
    “They gave me something called Regeneron. The next morning, Sister, I woke up, and it was like God touched my shoulder."
     No, God was grabbing your shoulder to pull you out of the body politic like the toxic orange splinter that you are.
     There is nothing, NOTHING, to dissuade me from believing that Trump is out to murder everyone in this country. Just last month, the White House tried to block the CDC from extending the cruise ship ban through October. Now this shit after relentless pressure from the cruise ship lobby;.
    Imagine following the deliberately Byzantine rules set up by Republican scum to fill out and mail off your ballot in plenty of time only to see this and realizing that same Republican scum is viciously petitioning for courts to shorten the ballot deadlines even after you followed their own rules? 
     DeJoy did this, on Trump's orders. It's all of a piece. This is why Trump wants all the ballots counted by November 3rd, even though the law mandates ALL the ballots get counted, however long it takes.
     Captain Moron I can see, not Captain Moroni.
     Sharpiegate once again rears its comb-overed, double-woven head.
     He. Is. Murdering. You. And. He. Doesn't. Care.
     Note the headline refuses to identify him as a member of the Proud Boys, the terrorist group of incel losers embraced by Trump during the first debate. Luckily, as I keep pointing out, these Neanderthals are always stupid enough to announce their terrorist attacks beforehand.
     "Family separation and forced sterilization have vanished from the headlines. But they must not be forgotten."
     Because once we start forgetting these crimes against humanity, the inevitable rehabilitation process begins.
     None of these are leading news items. Why?
     In other words, too much and never enough.
     We cracked 9,000,000 cases on Saturday. We'll easily pass 11 or 12 million cases by the end of the year, with 300,000 or more deaths. I guess COVID didn't get the memo that Trump defeated it.
      Buyer's remorse is the perfect phrase.
      Yes, even the indefatigable Daniel Dale had to give up tracking all of Trump's lies.
      85,000,000 of us have voted early as of Saturday, a 10,000,000 vote jump since Thursday.
    Trump's Bund is already planning on locking down Arizona's streets in the event he wins. Him winning is just one of the fantasies.
     I think it's adorable that dead-eyed fascist Stephen Miller thinks Trump will get a second term.
     Maybe he'll get a black 300 pound cellmate named Bubba. We can only hope. (Tip o' the tinfoil hat to Constant Reader, CC).
     Cartoon intermission.
     "President Trump and his congressional allies hoodwinked us. The law they passed initially lowered taxes for most Americans, but it built in automatic, stepped tax increases every two years that begin in 2021 and that by 2027 would affect nearly everyone but people at the top of the economic hierarchy." -Joseph Stiglitz.
     My my, I never saw THIS coming- One of Trump's impeachment lawyers had been mixed up with Russia for 12 years now.
     Now the cops are committing voter suppression, this time in NC.
     Trump's a fucking idiot. This is the guy to worry about.
     "Some people say DDT and Thalidomide got a bum rap and maybe they deserve a second chance, I dunno..."
      This is partly why Georgia will lose both its Senate seats on Tuesday.
      Bill Barr's house is being picketed. By antifa, BLM? No, by right wing nut jobs drenched in flop sweat because he hasn't locked up Biden, yet. They even brought a horse's ass, for good measure. No doubt, Trump will call them "very fine people."
     
Oh, this will make Trumpie the Klown happy while he's on the campaign trail giving the gift of COVID.
     "We’re in for a whole lot of hurt. It’s not a good situation. All the stars are aligned in the wrong place as you go into the fall and winter season, with people congregating at home indoors. You could not possibly be positioned more poorly.”
    In the last three days of the election, "President" Superman is revealed as a tired old fat man pathetically trying to relive his glory days. He's the high school star quarterback at the end of the bar 40 years later still bragging about the best four years of his life, he's Fat Elvis in Vegas, he's drawn and shrunken Hitler briefly out of the bunker patting the faces of his new child recruits.
     He's finished. And even he knows it.
   
A Republican fraud? Say it ain't so! And finally...
    One out of many reasons why Barack Obama will always be cooler than any Republican.

"None of these are leading news items. Why?"
Because the conservatives that own the 'Liberal Media' will not allow it.
Or was that a rhetorical question?

A rhetorical question.
