President
Trump’s NLRB has announced that it plans to prosecute unions for displaying
Scabby the
Rat. Scabby inflates to protest dangerous working conditions, such
as asbestos exposure (See Scabby 1, above), or when contractors use nonunion,
lower-wage, lower-benefit labor (see Scabby 2, below).
Scabby
doesn’t talk, is non-violent, and understands that he cannot ask people to walk
off the job.
Scabby’s main idea is to shame certain employers.
Scabby’s main idea is to shame certain employers.
The First
Amendment doesn’t always protect Scabby. Earlier this year, the Seventh Circuit
appeals court upheld a Wisconsin city law against Scabby because the Rat did
not comply with sign ordinances.
Meanwhile,
Trump held a summit for conspiracy theory media stars and right-wing trolls.
This
all-star lineup included James O’Keefe. In Trumpian style, he selectively
edits videos to misrepresent the context of the conversations and the subjects’
responses, creating the false impression that people said or did things they
did not (e.g., false Planned Parenthood video).
He has paid six-figures to
settle defamation claims. Here is his mug shot after entering federal property under
false pretenses (phone employee to work in Sen. Mary Landrieu’s (Democrat, La.)
office).
Feel free
to judge who is scarier, Scabby the Rat or the social media vermin at the White
House yesterday.

Meanwhile, it’s been reported that Scabby the Rat’s backup
artist, Corporate Fat Cat, is next in line for censorship.
