War, Politics, and Life by Bruce Maulden
Smokey-overcast this late-afternoon Monday here in California’s Central Valley — warm, and seemingly a bit humid, too. Meanwhile, how do you handle what you don’t know? In the T-Rump indictment case, as he rolled into Miami today to await the perp walk scheduled for tomorrow, Republicans of every stripe, from Congressasses to sidewalk MAGA hatters,…
End of the work week this late-afteroon Friday here in California’s Central Valley — yet just the beginning of the weekend and T-Rump’s nasty, shitty little dance with the law. One of the best explainers of this whole T-Rump classified documents indictment deal can be found at Politico (h/t tengrain), and well beyond my meager…
Wow, step away from the InterWebs for a couple of days — my son made a wonderful surprise visit and I had no time to post, or even barely follow the news — and the shit hits the fan. T-Rump was indicted by the DOJ in a mass of charges, 37 in all, on the…
While we wait for the slow-moving Senate to vote on the debt ceiling bill passed by the House yesterday — after some idiotic series of votes on amendments to the bill (all to fail) it will be featured for a full Senate vote this evening, with Chuck Schumer vowing to stay in session: ‘“We will…
Beyond the debt ceiling vote coming up shortly, a T-Rump scoop hit the news airwaves this afternoon — an audio tape of the asshole talking/acknowledging he’s holding classified documents — hopefully a clinching linchpin to indicting the Orange Turd. A major kick: ‘The tape was made during a meeting Mr. Trump held in July 2021…
End of another work week this Friday evening, Republicans are homeward bound from Congress, and the country is going to shit in a wire basket — at least until June 5, so says Janet Yellen, then who knows. Meanwhile and despite the noise, T-Rump has just finished a most-shitty week himself, which couldn’t have happened…
Sunshine and early-spring-like temperatures this near-midday Thursday here in California’s Central Valley — these days are the ones we’ll fondly remember in about another month or so. Or maybe earlier. I’ve got a feeling summer’s going to be a hot bitch, and not the good kind either. Also, a bitch still this morning is Ron…
Sunshine and warm skies this late-afternoon Monday here in California’s Central Valley — once again, a day in the life. News nowadays makes me more than a little depressed. I doomscroll the InterWebs seeking ideas for a post and get so shitty-assed gloomy I don’t want to set at the laptop and write. Over the…
Sunshine and cool air this late-afternoon Thursday here in California’s Central Valley — an absolutely beautiful day as a chilly breeze made for another pre-summer, pre-baking episode of wondrous weather. Just about in the rearview mirror, though, as temperatures are forecast to melt upward starting tomorrow, and maybe hit triple digits by Sunday. Shit firestorm!…
In anticipation of the shitstorm produced by The T-Rump’s Town Hall on CNN this evening, let’s cut away and review the E, Jean Carroll verdict from yesterday. Or at least some definite all-women winning side of the courtroom particulars: Lisa Rubin at MSNBC this afternoon on Carroll’s win for women: Indeed, in her triumph, Carroll…
