War, Politics, and Life by Bruce Maulden
Overcast and cold this early Wednesday evening here in California’s Central Valley — a rainy out-of-doors, too. We do feel like it’s raining all over the world, especially among the imbecilic. An example of knowing one and being one — Tony Blair, famous from the Iraqi war days of yore and who most-likely has some…
Fallout off Joe Manchin’s back-stabbing Joe Biden’s Build Back Better act continues to flare and fester, especially as it’s known Manchin is just being a asshole-douchebag — news right-off-the-bat this morning and his core realities (HuffPost): Publicly, his biggest gripes are about the cost of the bill. But privately, Manchin has told his colleagues that…
Bypassing the roaring news cycle this evening, a brief current-affairs history insight. In this past year, along with a horrifying, never-ending pandemic, severely-serious Republican democracy dismantlement (and pandemic enhancement), and a shitload of lesser ills, we’re also in a scary-freaky mechanical-tech outburst, exacerbating the crazy. Nostalgia for just a short time ago: (Illustration found here).…
Dense, chilly fog here mid-day Sunday in California’s Central Valley, a full-scale return to our ‘tule fog‘ bullshit once again after some rain last week, with the version this morning a thick, near-opaque gray in absolutely-zero wind — zilch in any kind of movement. A simile in the ugly Joe ‘MonsterMash’ Manchin — : In…
In the flow of news this Thursday afternoon, here’s a potpourri post of politics and an oddity of what makes the nowadays weird as shit — and a future-looking narrow hope right now. If Republicans weren’t bad enough — Democrats have their own asshole stopper in putting the Build Back Better on hard hold (Wonkette…
Awaiting the clouds to roll away this mid-day Thursday here in California’s Central Valley, in a move that hopefully will spark some supposed sunshine this afternoon — no rain forecast until next week. Weathering the non-weather is key. One shitty non-weather thing Republicans continually do (among a buttload of things) is downplay or deny something…
People and events in the news and how they are portrayed to the American public is one of the reasons this country is probably up shit creek without a paddle. Beyond the media roar from last night when the House select committee read aloud text messages sent to Mark Meadows on Jan. 6 from all…
First up above all else for a second this Monday morning — a great, big thank-you to tengrain, who wondrously blogs at Mock Paper Scissors, and who while handling Mike’s Blog Round-up this week at Crooks&Liars, gave this humble, lowly blog a much-appreciated great shout-out today. Tengrain has done it more than once before, so…
One despairing item of the T-Rumpian/GQP destruction of American democracy is the assholes are seemingly doing such horrible shit right out in the open — if not in the open at least with minimum cover. Case in point is top-tier news a T-Rump boy had fashioned a ‘PowerPoint’ slide show on how to steal the…
A Sunday morning nutjobs precipice: The obvious national criminal activity from the T-Rump and his half-wit cronies doesn’t even seem to hamper the scam as he remains free as a bird to plunge onto a dumb-ass grifting-lying tour with quarter-wit asshole Bill O’Reilly and upon their initial blubber-fest last night created a miserable bust in…
