War, Politics, and Life by Bruce Maulden
(Illustration: A coin issued by Brutus in the autumn of 42 B.C., encrypted with EID MAR (Eidibus Martiis – on the ‘Ides of March’), and was found here). By Eva M. Hardly a surprise. However, I just couldn’t help but shake my head in disgust yesterday when I read that part of Joe Biden’s relief…
Finally, this monrning after way-too-much bullshit: Details via The Washington Post just a bit ago: The Senate approved a $1.9 trillion coronavirus relief plan on Saturday, as Democrats muscled through a marathon debate — and overcame dissent from moderates within their own ranks — to move one step closer to delivering President Biden his first…
In this age of bullshit out in the open, our media is not doing a real good job of reporting on the reality of what’s actually occurring in front of our collective faces. The airwaves and InterWebs allow ‘alternative facts‘ to play out in the same fashion as genuine/verified facts, like a lie needs space,…
(Illustration found here). “The reason they call it the American Dream is because you have to be asleep to believe it.” — George Carlin When I was growing up in the 1950s/1960s the so-called “American Dream” was real as “Father Knows Best,” and seemed to carry a lot of weight with adult-like people. As George…
In context of this particular Thursday, the news cycle is getting old. Generally the same daily shit twisted as if in a Twilight Zone-influenced-Groundhog Day episode, and then repeats the repeating. Against the grain, though, we must continue to move forward. However, I did have a nice experience due to a couple videos that crossed…
Among the many villainous Republican attributes is corruption in the power of an office — from the top down, from T-Rump all the way to bottom feeders (h/t tweet Vixen Strangely): In the case of Ms Chao (MoscowMitch’s wife), there’s a retroaction whammy — via CNN last night: The Transportation Department’s inspector general asked the…
One of the wonders of the T-Rump era is how easily a shitload of people become nasty supplicants to the orange turd, and seem to cower in keeping the Big Lie glaring and loud. In one aspect, the Big Lie is their only course, yet don’t these people have any kind of a conscience: They’re…
As we continue on, Republicans continue their onslaught on democracy, mainly because they have no idea how to govern and their whole playbook is grievance and the T-Rump — and they just don’t give a shit anymore, spewing their nefarious intentions right out in the open (h/t tweet Susie): Details via CommonDreams this morning: An…
Even as the Republican assholes try and shit on the country, from voting suppression/insurrection to allowing COVID to spread, one is softened at least some by the humble heroics of Dolly Parton. After pledging $1 million to Vanderbilt University last April, which partly funded the Moderna mRNA vaccine, the 75-year-old received her COVID vaccine shot…
As it’s Monday, first day of a new month, and after just six weeks at work Joe Biden is way-popular and the T-Rump is still the biggest asshole on earth — Republican, GOP, conservatives/conservatism, how/whatever you call it, according to Jennifer Rubin at The Washington Post this morning, ‘has no principles at all‘ — and…
