War, Politics, and Life by Bruce Maulden
In America’s never-ending, near-continuous daily unfoldings of T-Rump’s Big Lie bullshit and his unprecedented attempts to keep on being president even after obviously losing the November election, today another chapter — the Orange Turd tried to weaponize the DOJ to overturn the whole shebang. The Senate Judiciary Committee released a 400-page report, aptly entitled, “Subverting…
Even as Joe Biden and Democrats strive to keep America afloat, the truth-bringing to the dumb-ass ‘coup’ attempt by the T-Rump at the end of his term in office appears to be hitting too close to home — if you can’t lie your way out of shit, then just ignore the law. As Congressional Republicans…
Life is straddling a nasty fence right now, caught in an entanglement of a deadly pandemic, a crisis in democracy, and the accelerating effects of climate change. One is surging on us right now, killing already nearly three-quarters of a million Americans, the other two appear coming further down the line, but are closer than…
Of all the Friday news dumps this particular Friday was another COVID-19 milestone — more than 700,000 Americans have now died from the virus. Especially looking at the tweet below, and those wonderful summer months of last June and July — oh, how the shit hits the fan: And that long set of numbers have…
Another T-Rump book hit the InterWebs this Tuesday morning, and shock and awe, he’s still an asshole piece of shit. How many of these non-literary scandal sheets are coming — just last week was Bob Woodward’s saga and dozens came before that, all tell the gross, nasty story of the horridness of the T-Rump. In…
(Illustration: ‘In Jail,’ image via Michael Cohen from last May, and found here). One of the more pleasant aspects of any thought about the T-Rump is the possibility of his fat ass sitting in a jail/prison cell — although the reality of such a thing is historically remote, there’s still the wish. As long as…
Forest-fire skies this late-afternoon Sunday here in California’s Central Valley — brown-stained air from the wildfires south of us in the Sequoia National Park, which keeps a lid on any clean sunshine. Reportedly, the fires (three total) are growing, but have stayed fairly-clear of the giant sequoia trees found in the park. Meanwhile, on the…
Warm and brown-tinted overcast this late-afternoon Friday here in California’s Central Valley, and summer clings to us like the horror of seeing T-Rump play golf. In my post earlier today on the maybe/seemingly dismal future for American democracy, the picture does look bleak, but a real bright spot I failed to mention with the T-Rump…
This country is indeed in frightful, dispiriting peril. A for instance: In response to the terrible Texas law, House Democrats this morning passed the Women’s Health and Protection Act, which would establish a federal right to abortion — and to no shock/surprise the measure passed on party lines: ‘With the House speaker, Nancy Pelosi, presiding…
As the backwash off T-Rump’s coup attempts pushing the Big Lie as he left office in January, along with knowingly lying about fraud, and other asshole endeavors, now there’s T-Rump trying to blow chaos into the turbulent wind — suing people. In this particular case, somebody who knows what a piece of shit he really…
