Welcome Back to Pottersville: Gotham City Digest

("Very poor choice of words." There still isn't a 45th president.)

Trump University, Trump Ice, Trump Vodka, Trump Airlines, Trump Taj Mahal. now Trump Cards. Like everything else with his name on it, it's a fraud and a bust. Most of these petty bribes wouldn't get sent out until long after Election Day.

For once, I agree with Pelosi. No more of this piecemeal, cherry-picked pro-corporate horseshit.

Duel Redux, with a right wing twist.

Rep. Jayapal: "Are you aware that these protesters called for the governor to be lynched, shot, and beheaded?" Barr: "I was not aware." "...because I was looking to charge the nonexistent Antifa with sedition."

Oklahoma didn't want him, Wisconsin didn't want him, Pennsylvania doesn't want him. TAKE A HINT, moron.

The Master Race, ladies and gentlemen.

McCabe is right. When the "president" inveighs against Democratically-elected officials and entire blue states, this will naturally be the response. They see such reckless rhetoric from the WH as a green light.

Strictly a coincidence, I'm sure. I'm willing to bet Trump and Barr knew about the plot against Whitmer.

"Given how brazenly Republicans blocked Barack Obama’s judicial nominees on an unprecedented scale and then packed the federal courts with young, conservative judicial activists, it was disappointing to see Joe Biden and Kamala Harris both dodge the question of whether they would expand the Courts if they win and Senate Republicans confirm Amy Coney Barrett in a shambolic process. The question is a layup that they should have been able to convert into a slam dunk. Evading it made them seem defensive when public opinion is clearly on their side."
This is one of the many ways in which the Democrat Party does not represent the will of the people and why I'd abandoned it after 2016. They hold the will and voice of the people in as much contempt as the GOP.

These lowlights don't even include the moment when he said he was pulling out of the debates (before trying to reschedule them hours later).

I think they have this moron on the same steroids as the other moron.

Trump said he didn't need drugs yet took them, anyway.

I guess he heard the calling. But I shudder to think who was calling him.

It doesn't surprise me that a corporate cocksucker like Trump make doctors sign NDAs. But whatever sent him to Walter Reed 11 months ago, it must have been serious.

As a writer who prides himself on his dialectical accuracy in his fiction, I've often wondered about this, myself. This article doesn't answer it but it's also revealed some interesting facts, such as the fact that I live in a "non-rhotic" state.

Meme intermission.

This is why I loathe and despise the Republican party with such withering contempt. They literally belong to a death cult and they're trying to kill us along with themselves.

Two sick old right wing assholes with pre-existing conditions scream on the radio, hilarity ensues.

Rick Wilson was in fine form today.

Trump knows they're apocalyptic assclowns. They know he's a moral leper. But they're both getting what they want because they're using each other.

Knives Out 2: Election Day.

This right wing Nazi sheriff just defended their "right" to kidnap and execute Gretchen Whitmer.

Some headlines just write themselves.

The Villages, Disneyland for old people, is now jittery about Pence's visit tomorrow.

This was why Eric Trump was deposed on Monday.

Yeah, let's talk about welfare queens.

Barr knew about the kidnap and murder plot and so did Trump. This is one of the many unexploded hand grenades that will go off between now and Election Day. And this may well be the next October Surprise.

If you've lost Kansas, you've lost Bullshit Mountain.

And if you fuck around with the mail and our electoral system, the same applies to you, you Dollar Store Mussolini.

“Needless to say, nobody — neither the DOJ nor the bipartisan Board of Pardons — would have endorsed a pardon had they known what the future held.”
Gee, how about the extensive prior record of this career criminal?

The Debate Commission is "biased against Trump"? Excuse me, who are you, again?

“Use the fact that he contracted covid-19 to show empathy with the millions of American families that have been affected by the virus. Do something, anything, to convince voters that he won’t be such a force for discord and division.” Paul Waldman

Let's not forget where Timothy McVeigh came from. And finally...

We already heard today about Trump getting a dodgy $21,000,000 tax break on his Westchester mansion. Now the NY Times is reporting on yet another dodgy $21,000,000 tax windfall.
