Gotham City Digest

(Mind if I play through? Of course you don't. You're dead.)

---

     Commander Covfefe de la COVID has a new conspiracy theory about the Times- They make shit up by quoting his own words and reporting his actions.

---

.    Good. George Floyd's murderers got shit-canned. That's a good start, but only a start.

---

     Of course he doesn't think this was racist. Of course he's feigning outrage over being called racist. Of course he's done this many times before.

---

     I never forgot this poor child who was so close to freedom and having his life spared, only to have the Milwaukee police hand him right back to Dahmer. In fact, many years ago, I even wrote a long article about it.

---

    Amanda Marcotte makes a legitimate point but it's one I'd anticipated last month. When writing about the brazen right wing thuggery going on in Lansing and cops turning a blind eye to that white, heavily-armed grievance, I'd said more than once if those people were black, Lansing would've turned into Ferguson within nanoseconds.

     I give you Minneapolis, Minnesota.

---

    This is another white, entitled asshole who refuses to wear a mask because, "I can't breathe." It also doesn't surprise me she shops at Walmart.

---

    Here's an idea, lady- How about you follow the laws of the land instead of the people in it? The same exact thing happened to my son in Marlborough, MA last year. He wound up getting arrested for an assault that never happened.

---

     So, he recreationally takes Adderall and hydroxychloroquine. Now he wants to experiment with insulin, a hormone already made in his body.

     This man is an unfunny version of John Belushi.

---

     I am so sick of these white assholes who think 911 is a speed dial to their private security. The smug, smarmy asswipe in the picture is Tom Austin. Apparently, Tom doesn't like Native Americans, either. Here's a pleasing post scriptum- He just lost his lease.

---

    The bad news is, our country's filled with these lunatics. The good news is, they're stupid and get themselves fired by being conspicuous in their stupidity. They're essentially vocational suicide bombers.

---

     The best people, nothing but the best.

---

     It seems that even as the world burns down from coronavirus, the only people that are still working are the grifters both in the government and those who only pretend to.

---

      By now, you may have heard of the infamous Ozark pool party attended by hundreds of redneck goobers. One of them featured a woman wearing a bikini made of nine surgical masks.

---

      Let's keep putting this dear man on the road. He's the gift that keeps on giving.

---

     "Virtually worthless"?!

---

     So, the PA state GOP knew one of their own was diseased with COVID-19 yet kept it under wraps for a week? Way to go, guys.

---

     Have you ever wondered what McCloud would've been like if he had a degenerative brain tumor?

     Wonder no more.

---

     I've been meaning to ask about this as it seems it's taken us forever to get to the dreaded 100,000 mark. With 2-3000 Americans dying every day from this disease, it seemed odd to me that for about a week straight we never crossed the threshold into even 99,000, let alone 100,000. It seems someone was kinking the statistical hose.

---

    The TX State Supreme Court denied mail in ballots to voters. They decided this remotely to protect themselves. Once again, the GOP says, "For thee, not for me, motherfuckers."

---

     Meme intermission.

---

   Earlier, I'd posted a link to an article that highlighted all the crooks, assclowns, scumbags, criminals and con men that have been given no-bid "firsttime contractor" contracts. Ex Trump stooge Zach Fuentes is one of them. This, to me, is the equivalent of sending smallpox-riddled blankets to Indian tribes in the 19th century.

---

    Another example of right wing, "For me, not for thee." We know Kayleigh's voted via mail 10 times in the last 11 years.

---

    This is ridiculous. You don't honor a murder victim by looting a Target in his name. An AutoZone also burned down today.

---

     If only there was a way to subtract with surgical precision just the stupid in our society.

---

     Susan Collins is toast. But we've known that for years.

---

     The Lincoln Project's new ad takes aim at #RichMitch.

---

     So, Twitter fact-checks Trump for the first time ever and the Toddler in Chief decides to sign an executive order that essentially is designed to let right wing assholes say whatever they like unchallenged on social media. Twitter should delete his account just over this.

---

    I'm not a huge fan of Pelosi but she nails Zuckerberg right here for his hypocrisy & sycophancy of Trump. If you coddle a narcissistic psychopath like Trump, this is what you get.

---

    And, as another illustration of this, this is what Trump's ghost writer has to say about him, although hardly any of it is a revelation.

---

     That's because the numbers are in the toilet. Like the Biden campaign, they're playing what I call the "Wait & Switch" game. Vote for either guy then let the horror wash over you in the sticker shock of the ages.

---

      It's not very often that you leave Kayleigh speechless. This is Jeff Gannon all over again.

---

      "The president* was in Florida to play golf at his Palm Beach course on the weekend of March 7, which was during the state’s early voting period. Trump even drove past an open voting site at a nearby library at least six times on that visit, CNN reported. He did not stop by any of the other 15 early voting sites open in Palm Beach County that weekend.

     Nonetheless, Trump requested an absentee ballot on March 9, and he voted by mail in the primary."
      The irony is if he did vote, he did it illegally because, according to a prior arrangement he made to Palm Beach county officials in the 90's, Mar a Lago is considered a resort, not a residence.

---

      Oh dear, that could've gone better.

---

     And even if you could shut down Twitter, you'd essentially be shutting down yourself. Then Trump asked Bill Barr to tell him about the rabbits again.

---

    The IPS has been putting out weekly updates on unemployment figures as well as steadily charting how much more the bloated the 1% have gotten. 2.1 million more Americans filed for unemployment that many will never get, bringing the total to 41 million out of work. At the same same time, billionaire saw their fortunes rise by half a trillion dollars. Jeff fucking Bezos alone saw his wealth leap by $30,000,000 since the pandemic hit us.

    And even though I don't advocate for violence against anyone, I won't be convinced shit will start changing until I see guillotines loaded on flatbeds screaming toward every corporate headquarters in America, starting with Amazon's in Seattle. Because our worthless fucking legislators sure aren't doing shit to help us out.

---

     607,000 vials of potentially lifesaving medicine were sent to the wrong hospitals. One more time: He. Is. Trying. To. Murder. Us. All. Lock. Him. Up. And finally...

---

      You'd think even a glorified ambulance-chasing shyster like Bill Barr would know the legal definition of censorship.
