Gotham City Digest

(Nowhere man, making his nowhere plans.)

---

     Fucking murderous, blood-thirsty bastards. The White House refuses to do any contact tracing after a super spreader event that got at least 18 current and former staffers or supporters sick, even when the CDC offered to help. Yet, this is what Baghdad Bob said today: “The White House is following CDC guidelines and has a full-time detailed CDC epidemiologist on staff who has been here since March.”

---

     “Despite the effort by rogue employees and their false allegations I will continue to seek justice in Texas and will not be resigning,” said every right wing crook, ever, after getting caught with his paw in the cookie jar right before resigning under a cloud of scandal.

---

      I think by now it's become screamingly obvious that news outlets exclusively poll Trump supporters just for deadpan takes of the freak factor. It's as if they're saying in all seriousness, "See what we're up against, folks?" (Tip o' the tinfoil hat to Constant Reader, CC).

---

      "We have the best medicines, the best machines." No, asshole, YOU did. The rest of us got waiting lines and waiting lists and, "We don't have enough tests/ventilators." Some of us lost relatives without being able to see them in their final moments. Don't let this bloated asshole dominate your life, this nation or the world. Vote your conscience Nov. 3rd.

      Please, Katie, if you were still the CBS anchor, you would've held your nose and swallowed the load just like the rest of them.

---

     As long as white men are in charge, Native Americans will never get a fair shake as much as an unfair shakedown.

---

     Well, well, out of the mouths of babes.

---

      A "malfunction." Well, that's one way of putting it.

---

     "99% of us are all alike."

     And 1% of us aren't.

   I seriously loath this woman. This is what terminal stage capitalism looks like, folks. (Tip o' the tinfoil hat to Constant Reader, Stan Banos)

     Oh, did you expect the Sociopath in Chief to have an epiphany, some possible end of life revelation that would let him see the light and realize that we as a human community should more meaningfully spend our limited lives helping each other?

     Is that what you thought? Sociopaths don't change just because they get deathly ill- They just get better and continue with their sociopathic horseshit because they're sociopaths. They're abnormal. And we have one in the Oval Office because 63,000,000 of you morons thought this particular sociopath would actually care about you & your needs.

     Guess what? He doesn't. You know why?

     Because he's a self-interested sociopath who simply cares about just himself.

     You're welcome.

      White House sick call, day five.

---

      In 2020 we may see the highest voter turnout in 112 years.

---

     So, how's that conspiracy theory Democrat hoax thing coming along? (Yes, that's Tom Cotton and Louie Gomer, who recovered from COVID-19 last month).

---

     "There’s a saying that the difference between a religion and a cult is that in a religion, the savior dies for their followers; in a cult, it’s the other way around. And so we’ve seen the spectacle these last months of hundreds of thousands of Donald Trump supporters, Proud Boys, QAnon followers and other assorted nuts deliberately throwing themselves in harm’s way because they made the refusal to wear a mask or socially distance a suicidal and ignorant act of political defiance." Oh, Michael Winship is in fine form today.

     Meme intermission.

---

     The "president" is shedding. Pass it on.

---

     Trump's stunt on the South Portico last night had him sucking wind, bigly.

---

      And another right winger bites the dust.

---

      “I am ridiculously healthy.”

      Well, thank the good Lord that coronavirus doesn't affect healthy people, eh?

---

       One thing that we Americans have to understand- Fascism doesn't abruptly pounce on you like a panther. It creeps up on you like a gator in tall grass then is on you before you know it.

---

      Another homicidal cop gets arrested.

---

     I smell a reality TV series! Let's call it, "Alternative Facts of Life."

---

      Of course, this is far from a complete list. CNN left out the two housekeepers and the military aide who've been diagnosed since last night.

---

     Thanks to Commander COVID, all but one member of the Joint Chiefs is now under quarantine, including Chairman Mark Milley.

---

      Jennifer Jacobs, the reporter who broke the news about Hope Hicks having COVID, just announced that Trump was barred from going to the Oval Office. If only they'd done that on January 20th, 2017.

---

      Photo op of a lifetime. Your so-called president is killing you.

---

      Right wingers helping out another right winger who just happens to be the Judiciary Chairman who will lead the shoehorning of yet another right winger on the Supreme Court. What a nice circle jerk.

---

     Centuries ago, we used to Banish lepers to islands. Republicans are the new lepers. They deserve their own island, too. And finally...

---

      Are we missing Scott Pruitt, yet?
