Gotham City Digest: My Own Private Greenland edition

(We promise never to try to buy a sovereign nation.)

     Trump fan accuses Don Lemon of sexual harassment. Yeah, he's credible. That's why he took down all his social media accounts. Please, bitch, Don Lemon's got better taste in men than that.

     Where do these psychopaths come from?

     If George Lucas made ZARDOZ.

     I'm glad to see Ken Coochie Coochie's vile, disgusting elitist remarks getting some traction. He was a racist, right wing asshat when he was the Virginia AG (I wrote about him several times here if you recall). So it's not surprising to me that this undeclared white nationalist found a position in this shit show of an administration.

     OK, so...
     We're supposed to believe that from solitary confinement, when he couldn't possibly have known what was going on out there, Epstein stretched his neck during the precise three hour window when the guards were literally sleeping and after the warden had removed his only cellmate by putting him in 9 South and removed him from suicide watch...
      ...all before announcing there would be no videotape available to the public (which, inexplicably, shows only the OUTSIDE of the cells and not the inside). And we're supposed to swallow this narrative when the facts don't jibe with it?

     As you can expect, it being Arkansas, the students were black and you just KNOW this woman is white.

     When you're in a cult, everything outside of it looks like a conspiracy aimed at taking down you and your cult leader. Check out the comments at the bottom of this article on Fox Business's website that warns of a looming recession. They're really enraged that Fox isn't keeping with the Trump cult's program.

     Speaking of which, this is an actual quote from Trump: "CRAZY INVERTED YIELD CURVE!" He sounds like Homer Simpson after being cut off at the All You Can Eat Buffet. The fact is, the inverted yield curve has been used to predict recessions for decades. And the way it's acting now, according to Fed Chair Jerome Powell, is the same way it has acted before every recession over the last half century. And the tea leaves are saying that we're headed for a major recession. But what do billionaires at golf clubs care about recessions, right?

     If Obama was such a terrible president, then why's Trump trying to steal credit for what he did?      Typical corporate douchebag- Stealing the ideas of his betters.

     We haven't learned a fucking thing since Emmett Till, have we?

     Here's the asshole who's single-handedly keeping QAnon alive. The single biggest news item of the day should not be his lies but that the so-called President of the United States is completely and irrevocably insane.

     There's no excuse for ignorance. None. You can't contribute to a nationwide epidemic because of paranoid conspiracy theories then conveniently blame social media and Google algorithms. We live in a day and age in which information and knowledge is literally at our fingertips. As evolved humans, we always have the capacity to educate ourselves, make informed choices and to throw off the shackles of ignorance.

     "An organization dedicated to the building of character of manly, masculine MEN, especially YOUNG MEN, who are masculine and manly, young MEN filled with lots of masculine, manly sperm."

     Shorter Steve King: "Keep the white babies coming, no matter what."

     I don't know how I missed this but this revelation/allegation of Epstein shrieking in his cell the morning he died came out last Tuesday. This would jibe with my own pet theory that Epstein was murdered.

     Samuel L. Jackson is cool, always has been cool and always will be cool. That motherfucker's my spirit animal.

     The Washington Post: "Jonathan L. Arden, president of the National Association of Medical Examiners, said a hyoid can be broken in many circumstances but is more commonly associated with homicidal strangulation than suicidal hanging."

     Abby Zimet is right here.We live in a nation in which cyclical predatory behavior has become the norm. Think of it- One corporation or industry creates a problem, like gun & ammo makers. They make access to their products easy. This access inevitably gets placed in the wrong hands. Rather than, God forbid addressing the root cause of the problem (say, too easy access to guns & ammo), other corporations helpfully step in to offer insane stopgap solutions such as so-called bullet-proof backpacks, which don't protect the head or chest and won't stop a round from a semi-auto rifle. Now, these industries are dependent on each other. It gives the illusion that "steps" are being taken when they're plainly not. The steps need to be taken by elected officials, not self-dealing, self-interested corporations. It's like the opioid epidemic- One company causes the problem, addiction. They make huge amounts of money off our addictions. Then, when the public and elected officials raise a hue and a cry, they then provide the answer in addiction medications. They make billions more.
     Cyclical predatory behavior. Remember that phrase and use it whenever and wherever appropriate.

     Because, you know, BLACK. Good luck trying trying to get a charge of premeditated murder to stick, Counselor.

     Because a brain-damaged child molester told them to. This fucking planet's going to Hell in a hand basket.

     I'll bet he also blames his pork rind farts on the "racist" dog, too.

     No, wait. It gets even better. After getting run over, the victims were then pepper-sprayed by local and Rhode Island state cops. Unsurprisingly, professional liposuction bag Lou Dobbs seems to be all for running over Jewish protesters.

     Dear Kevin McCarthy:
      #1, Israel DID ban Omar and Tlaib. So much for a "bipartisan" delegation.
      #2 The Party of Lincoln is now the Democratic Party.
      #3 Having "a problem" with Steve King's comments is not the same as calling him out for being a racist and rape- and incest-loving ass hat.

     There's no excuse for their behavior but it seems this black deputy was fired over something that was mostly said by his girlfriend. Meanwhile, white cops all over the country aren't even indicted much less tried or fired for shooting and killing unarmed black people. But this is Georgia, after all.

     Over 36 cases of racist crimes linked to Trump? Gee, I'm shocked. I may have to sit down.

      These Randians are simply right wing psychopaths and are completely insensible to irony. A sample:
      "We were interrupted by some timely welcoming remarks by the Ayn Rand Institute’s president and CEO, Tal Tsfany, who had the honor, he told us, of announcing 2019’s Self Made Man award. The crowd gathered close with excitement as the winner was announced: Leonard Peikoff.
      Everybody clapped, and though there seemed to be a strong case that the inheritor of Rand’s fortune and founder of the group that was hosting the event might have serious eligibility issues for such a distinction, I didn’t hear any grumbling."

     Greenland? Good luck building a golf course there, asshole.

     Maybe this Oliver Darcy guy at CNN Business should stick to finance and busness. He plainly had an agenda and seems quick to label any opinion contrary to his own as a "conspiracy theory" generated in "fever swamps."
      In his denigrating, snooty article, he pointedly left out the very real possibility that Epstein was strangled first, THEN hung to make it look like a suicide. This would neatly explain the surfeit of broken bones in Epstein's neck.
      He also claimed the WaPo article listed only one expert and was poorly researched. This isn't true. The WaPo was also going by Dr. Sampson's own autopsy findings, or the lack thereof. They also cited a recent study of 264 hanging suicides in India that showed hyoid bones in just 16 out of 264 cases were broken, That's just 6%. They also cited a study in Thailand that yielded similar results.
      Perhaps knowing this, this is why Dr. Sampson requested more facts before signing off on the COD. This Darcy fellow sure seems anxious to decide on the cause of a death that he's not investigating. The WaPo merely kept an open mind on the subject just as the pathologist is trying.
      Unfortunately, Oliver Darcy isn't.

      "GE stands by its financials."
      So did Enron, Bear Sterns and Leman Brothers.

     I still can't believe we had to get the courts to hand down this decision and give these children the basics for civilized living. But a law or judicial ruling is only as good as its enforcement. I really hope there's a mechanism in place to ensure that it is enforced as the Trump administration is infamous for ignoring or outright breaking the law and flouting judicial rulings with which it doesn't agree. Yet somehow I doubt there is such a mechanism.

     I can think of a lot of friends in the UK who are having a field day with this.

     I wish I'd known about this earlier.

     Who the fuck has Epstein's body?

     Baby boomer crooks crow to Millennials about the virtue of starting with nothing then put them in the financial Supermax of student loan debt.

     Robin Vos is one of the vilest pieces of shit Wisconsin has ever produced since Joe McCarthy. And it produced Ed Gein and Jeffery Dahmer.

     Subliminal Franklin Graham: "Pubic, I mean Public Schools are trying to ram this LGBTQ history down our throats like it was something long and hard in a dark room in Provincetown or the Castro while George Michaels' "Careless Whisper" is playing in the background and that long, throbbing thing is squirting against the backs of our throats with delicious impiousness."

     See, I KNEW there had to be a reason for the Dow Jones to lose 800 points in one day (Trumpie the Klown, predictably, blamed his Fed Chair Jerome Powell). So, the so-called billionaire who's masquerading as our so-called president had to call from his exclusive country club in Jersey to ask scumbag multibillionaire bankers how the US consumer is doing. Because, as we all know, billionaires always have their fingers on the pulse of a problem and are NEVER out of touch when asked questions about the proles.
      Before I even got to the reporter's mention of it, I had already started thinking of Mnuchin's call from his exclusive Mexican resort to top bankers last December during another day of huge losses on Wall Street. These billionaire assholes sure love to chew the fat while on vacation at resorts for the obscenely wealthy and trying to get a handle the problems of the poor and middle class proles, don't they? And finally...

     Cultists who believe in talking burning bushes, ghosts and flying zombies scream bloody murder over yoga and its "mystical, eastern religion." Even though Yoga as we know it was invented less than 100 years ago.
