Instigator of division more like it: A highlight of the frightful absurdity of our current time comes via Elena Parent, a Democratic state senator in Georgia, and what happened after a legal-bullshit hearing two weeks ago headed by Rudy Giuliani — the backlashg might have occurred in a third-world country, not here. From the Guardian…
Despite all the T-Rump’s blather about election fraud, his big swag is to maintain a grip as head of the Republican party with an aim at the 2024 presidential race, and of course (should go without saying), make as much money as possible off the MAGA idiots who support him. In the current/future GOP climate,…
In this current climate of reckless horror by the Republican-infused anti-democratic horse shit, this is probably the most-frightening example since the plot against Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer (h/t LG&M): Quick summary via The Daily Beast this afternoon: The Republican leader of the Pennsylvania State Senate said she feared she’d “get my house bombed” if she…
Overcast-cool this Tuesday evening here in lockdowned California’s Central Valley, as T-Rump and his motley-crew of disease-riddled nit-twits received what should be a knock-down punch to end a preposterous, unhinged assault on the presidential election: The simple, direct simplicity of the SCOTUS ruling indicates how bullshitish is T-Rump’s fraud whine — via The Washington Post…
Another example yesterday on why the T-Rump is a suking, asshole of a person: Via TheBigLead this morning: Donald Trump presented American wrestling legend Dan Gable with the Presidential Medal of Freedom on Monday. During the ceremony, which was attended by a large portion of Gables’ family, none of whom were wearing masks, Trump asked…
Tonight 40 years ago, Mark David Chapman shot and killed John Lennon. A recollection via the New York Post this morning: This incident took place on Dec. 8, 1980. Later that afternoon, Chapman did get to see Lennon and his wife, Yoko Ono, in front of the Dakota, where they lived. He proffered a copy…
As a former resident of Florida — I spent the first big chunk of my life there, attended/graduated from the University of Florida — this news from the Sunshine State isn’t a surprise, considering the state of the state the last few years, but yet it’s still scary-shitty: Background/details via the Tallahassee Democrat this evening:…
Oddly, in this crazy era of COVID-19 I’ve been binging “Scrubs” the last week or so, and although it’s funny as shit, this episode was strange in its potent: I did the same thing with “The West Wing” in a quick binge right before the election — sort of made life a little smoother… (Illustration:…
COVID surge continues as Californbia starts a nearly statewide ‘stay-at-home’ mandate as ICU beds become sparse while the numbers tick upward: Here in the Central Valley (the San Joaquin Valley portion of the state), we are scheduled to begin our ‘lockdown’ this evening, and will reportedly last for three weeks, if the numbers can be…
Hideous in its absurdity (h/t tengrain): And about that amazing, but not surprising story of the day from The Washington Post: Just 27 congressional Republicans acknowledge Joe Biden’s win over President Trump a month after the former vice president’s clear victory of more than 7 million votes nationally and a convincing electoral-vote margin that exactly…
