(Illustration found here). Even as the life in 2018 continues to resemble a terrifying jigsaw puzzle, we still have our illusions of escape beyond a reality gone berserk. This particular post has been collecting dust in my Draft bin more than five years — I’ve played with it, moved words/pictures around, but otherwise left the…
Today a display of extreme-criminal sanctimoniousness of the T-Rump — per Think Progress Outside of the White House on Tuesday, Trump said “Ivanka did some emails” before mentioning former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton five times in a span of roughly 40 seconds. … Trump said he looked at the reports regarding his daughter’s illegal…
Sunny but chilled by a sea breeze this Thursday late-afternoon here on California’s north coast, another day in the life. Since the midterms, I’ve become even-more wary of the T-Rump’s mental state.

Two days later doth display our misplaced American system (via the Guardian this morning): Among the most eye-catching was a statistic showing Democrats led Republicans by more than 12 million votes in Senate races, and yet still suffered losses on the night and failed to win a majority of seats in the chamber. … “The rise…
In the aftermath of a day after, the shit’s still with us — despite gains made in the election, the T-Rump continues. Charles P. Pierce at Esquire this afternoon on news of the AG turnabout: At the very least, this is the most serious threat that the Mueller investigation has faced since it was launched. In…
As the dark falls here on California’s North Coast, there’s still three hours til polls close — yet back east already, voting has stopped in some places, as the end result starts to gin up.
