War, Politics, and Life by Bruce Maulden
As the COVID-19 coronavirus sweeps across the planet, all of us have a shitload of time on our hands and a lot of sofa-dwelling, binge-TV time, and there’s a lot to view. Reportedly, popular for the era/moment are movies about virus outbreaks (Duh!) and assorted-like scenarios in keeping with our current predictament. What caused this…
A warmed-hearted breaking-news event this afternoon (h/t tengrain): Via CNN: The Supreme Court rejected a bid from Texas’ attorney general — supported by President Donald Trump — to block the ballots of millions of voters in battleground states that went in favor of President-elect Joe Biden. The court’s move to dismiss the challenge is the…
Despite the T-Rump’s cold-hearted lackeys attempt to fuck the country via SCOTUS, the COVID-19 pandemic continues to surge, and here in California it’s boiling — where I live in the Central Valley we’re running out of ICU beds, and even social-distancing space. Although the stay-at-home order continues due to the mass of new cases, restrictions…
If you’re a ‘celebrity’ even a deadly virus is nothing at all: Yesterday, the US set a record for single-day deaths from COVID-19 at 3,054, and then today broke it. And also today, CDC Director Robert Redfield said the dying will continue apparently unabated: ‘“We are in the timeframe now that probably for the next…
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…
