War, Politics, and Life by Bruce Maulden
In a sense of relief, I’m not the only one scared shitless and paranoid about America’s democratic future: Details via PBS this morning: Two-thirds of Americans (67-percent) believe democracy in the United States is under threat, according to the latest PBS Newshour/NPR/Marist poll. Ahead of the first Fourth of July since an attack on the…
A shitload of news already this Thursday, and we’re just at mid-morning right now. Most of the shit is depressing and there’s some weird mixed-in, though, as a country based on the optics we’ve in for a rough road ahead. Almost all of news items can be directly/indirectly traced to chaos/bullshit coming from the bowels…
Update: A new, unvarnished video view of the Capitol-building attack from The New Times this afternoon — main written detail: The work of understanding Jan. 6 has been hard enough without this barrage of disinformation and, hoping to get to the bottom of the riot, The Times’s Visual Investigations team spent several months reviewing thousands…
Outside the normal news cycle this afternoon, a couple of interesting science/health items caught my eye earlier as I was close-to-normal-constantly Doomscrolling the InterWebs, seeing them created a curiosity as one could apply to me personally, the other to this country. And of course, I’m involved with both. Initially this bothered me because of my…
The nasty, dangerous and anti-American scene at the US Capitol earlier this year will always be most-likely one odd bit of national history — the off-tune is reality. Live TV and video later showed a hardcore, cruel attack on a government building with the express mission of changing an election outcome, with five people dying…
Despite what your eyes and ears tell you, a shitload of Americans are just plain brain-fucked as the attack last January on the US Capitol building has gone from an insurrection/riot to a tourist walk to FBI-induced event to now it’s all Joe Biden and Democrats fault — Repubicans are atrociously insane, gripping the country…
Idiots outside of an institution have a shitload of problems, reality being one of them, and with the case of T-Rump and his followers, it’s part of the Big Lie: Standing story of our times recapped this morning by Chuck Schumer on the Senate floor: “He lied over and over and over again … poisoning…
Here we are again, another Monday and with it another book detailing the horror of the T-Rump getting way-fucking flummoxed by the COVID-19 pandemic, brushing-aside warnings with narcissistic ignorance, allowing the virus to run rampant across the US, now having killed more than 600,000-plus Americans within a short, year-and-a-half — in irony of all slingshot,…
Another Dad’s Day with good wishes usually passed from children to dads in glad tidings. However, if you’re an asshole who doesn’t understand families and children and the word, ‘happy,’ there’s trouble. This morning, in seemingly notable context, it seems if the T-Rump is actually working to become even worse a human being: A close-up…
Just when you think Republicans couldn’t get any worse, or more manic, they perform feats of unvarnished repulsiveness that literally blows one’s skullcap — they twist and lie about shit observed in plain-sight, and in such obvious-obviousness it’d be way-hilarious if it wasn’t so frightfully dangerous. Some type of vile, psychotic blindness: Evidence abounds in…
