Gotham City Digest


("Duh, tell me about the red states, George.")


     Surprise, surprise, this fake polling place was immediately linked to two Republican campaigns.
     There was something Banana Republican about Trump prematurely ejaculating about him winning the election from behind a gated and walled-off White House when he'd been trailing in the electoral college all night.
    Even Ben Shapiro, of all people, claimed Trump declaring victory last night was "deeply irresponsible."
     CNN's fact checker, Canadian journalist Daniel Dale, puts the lie to Trump's Mussolini moment early this morning. Trump demanded an end to all voting, even though it ended long before his pack of lies. He also wanted an end to the vote count, even though heavily black districts like Wayne County (Detroit) had yet to be counted to preserve a lead he never had.
     Sharpiegate 2.0. The flop sweat is strong with this family.
     Meanwhile, in non-election news, this happened in Holland.
     This is one of the very coolest stories ever to come out of Election Night. A deputy got fired by her sheriff for being a lesbian. So she ran for his office. Now she's the new sheriff.
     Your Brad o' the Day.
     It shouldn't surprise anyone that the Toddler in Chief got on his Fisher Price phone and screamed at Rupert Murdoch because Fox called Arizona for Biden several nights ago (The NY Times has not).
     Murdoch wouldn't budge.
     Your co-Brad o' the day.
     Remember the Brooks Brothers riot of 2000? Meet the L.L. Bean riot.
     Oh, I'll be writing about this. You bet your ass I will. You want to know the real reason for this? The Democrat Party and the DNC fielding Blue Dog Republicans that no one likes. Not one, I repeat, NOT ONE Republican thus far has lost their seat in the House after last night. Here's the sentence that stuck out for me: “(A)lready they were saying goodbye to at least a half-dozen of their centrist Democratic colleagues..."
    Because, of COURSE this happened on the 5th of November. This is what it looks and sounds like when fascists have a temper tantrum.
     Meme intermission.
     Max Boot pretty much said it for all of us:
    "It should not have been this close... That Trump did so well in the election after doing so badly as president is mind-boggling and disturbing. So too is the fact that Republicans seem to have paid little price for allowing him to ride roughshod over the Constitution, lock kids in cages and spread the poison of nativism and racism."
    "A more plausible scenario, Morris said, is that a significant number of pandemic-induced mail ballots are either arriving late, or being rejected, or not being returned at all. If tons of people tell pollsters they’ve voted by mail and then, for whatever reason, some those 'likely votes' don’t actually count on Election Day, it could widen the gap between the polls and the results."
     There's your reason why the polls were off... again: Republican rat fuckery... AGAIN. Why this was buried as the third to last paragraph instead of being used as the lede I'll leave to you to infer.
    Remember that "army of thousands of lawyers" he was going to send flying out like the Wicked Witch across the land of Oz? Yeah, so far, they're 0-2.
     The last gasp of the Fourth Reich.
     MSNBC's Jacob Soboroff put Grenell's feet to the fire in Nevada yesterday.
     The desperate screaming temper tantrums in all caps by bozos like Levin and Trump is our version of "owning the libs."
     Prevarication 101: Don't lie during a live interview and say you're at the White House when you're plainly at home in Palm Springs.
     These morons don't realize Trump is losing in Arizona. Even if they succeed in stopping the count, that would guarantee Trump loses the state.
     Sometimes, the headlines just write themselves.
     Great moments in signage.
     The reporter who yelled at Trump as he lumbered out of the press briefing room, "Why are you lying to the American people about that? Why are you so delusional?" is Brian Karem and he's your new superhero.
     They've restricted the air space over Joe Biden's home in Delaware and have given him extra Secret Service protection. Everyone in DC knows Biden's the president-elect except for the sore loser in the Executive Mansion.
     Bush had James Baker going to bat for him. Trump has Republican Uncle Fester.
     Trump is a sad, pathetic fat man in a corner whining, "I DID, I DID win the election" with lessening conviction as Republicans tip toe away from him and attorneys and plaintiffs take their place.
     Professional racist, jailbird and crook Sloppy Steve Bannon wants to go all medieval and execute and behead Fauci and FBI Director Wray.
      I think it's adorable that they assume Trump will actually listen to them during an intervention.
     “If you’re upset about what you see on Fox, and you have every right to be, check out the Twitter feed of the president’s spawn because it is like rantings in Crayon by somebody having an LSD trip.” Jake Tapper nailed it right there.
      Another right wing vocational suicide bomber bites the dust.
     “With concerns surfacing about mail-in ballot dumps and voter fraud, Wisconsin citizens deserve to know their vote was counted.” Those "Wisconsin citizens" to whom he's referring are just Trump voters, And the "concerns surfacing" are bubbling up from the swamp that used to be the Potomac River.
    Professional rodeo clown and parttime Congressman Clay Higgins has a scary campfire story to share with you. He also wants to challenge you to a duel if you disagree with him on Facebook. And finally...
     Debt just follows this asshole around like Pig Pen's dust cloud. Why anyone would give him more money after this debacle of an election is beyond me.
