A turkey can’t remember how idiotic he truly be: In a juxtaposition of sane to bat-shit crazy today (Washington Post live blog this morning): President-elect Joe Biden plans to introduce his foreign policy and national security team at an event Tuesday in Wilmington, Del., as President Trump allows the transition to formally proceed even though…
Interview with the great Sarah Cooper this afternoon at the Guardian, and a good handle on the way-down, real-scary threat from the T-Rump: “I feel that Trump has bigger fish to fry than Sarah Cooper. I think he has got stuff on his plate and so I’m not super worried that he will come after…
Today 57 years ago: (Illustration found here). Quickly-escalating moments in media time: Just about everyone who was alive then knows where they were when they heard the news. How they came to hear — decades before the Internet stitched up the world so that news moves at the speed of light — is itself a…
I was shocked, shocked! (h/t BJ): And even worse, but in the same killing field (h/t Tom Sullivan at Digby’s place): Click on the tweety bird for the full thread — sad and exasperating. The entire COVID-19 infrastructure is fucked, as a shitload of people are not paying attention to what is happening around them,…
A crisp tint to the air here this Thursday afternoon in California’s Central Valley, fading sunlight with barely a breeze paints a picture of winter-approaching for these parts — cold and fog. Weatherwise a reflection; America is experiencing a storm of sorts, with the enormous question right now is whether the tempest will get worse,…
(Illustration: ‘Neil Young,’ by graphic artist Andre Koekemoer, and found here). As I performed by daily routine of an early-morning first-sweep of news sites on the Interwebs, which includes one stop at IMDB to check the birthdays — along with Anne Hathaway, Ryan Gosling, and a host of others, including the late-great Grace Kelly, there…
The T-Rump is one nasty-faced human being. Culture in the face of such profound ugliness and an appreciation for it is really, really hard to explore, much less bring to any kind of decent closure — T-Rump has no redeeming qualities whatsoever, and looks it. He’s pure, worthless shit. Surfing the news this afternoon, I…
Most-likely the horrific main horror from off the T-Rump and his crowd is the killing fields produced by runaway COVID-19 in just about the entire US — 139,855 new cases just yesterday, 10.4 million total; 242,070 deaths with 1,448 yesterday. Meanwhile, on the freakish other hand of a way-dangerous pandemic and the assholes who dwell…
Chilly with a sprinkling of sunshine this late-afternoon Tuesday here in California’s Central Valley, and the state-of-affairs keeps spinning along like a hurdling, stop-action locomotive, nearly off the tracks. Time and reality doesn’t stand still, especially when the T-Rump, even located far to the east, snakes his way in the grass. Shitty news after shitty…
Beyond any doubt whatsoever, the T-Rump is a malignant monster, and all those assholes enabling the monstrosity are mini-monsters with all the cruel shame and guilt blustered by the monster-in-chief. Not only do we have to conted with the horror of the T-Rump for 70-something-days, but his boot-lickers and shit-heels as well, from Moscow Mitch…
