War, Politics, and Life by Bruce Maulden
(Illustration by Victor Juhasz, and found here); In my post earlier with the Brian Williams ‘You had me at hello‘ video, I’d fogotten a precise analysis by Eric Boehlert on his Press Run dispatch from this morning on how the media is handling the current horrid escapades between Republicans and a bloated, vile, former president…
A deep reveal of the reality of our current GOP absurdity (h/t tengrain): Gross, and further still: Howver, not an ounce of any kind of romance — it’s all liars lying about lying. Jennifer Rubin at The Washington Post this morning on the crazed GOP: When it comes to the former president specifically, PRRI reports,…
No rain this Friday morning here in California’s Central Valley — a short respite until this weekend when another wave of wet comes sloushing through our airwaves. One bright arc of sunshine, though, is a majority of Americans dig what Joe Biden is doing in the week-and-a-couple-of-days he’s been in office. Looks we’re getting out…
Weather joined the news cycle heavily today, bouncing some shit off the radar for awhile — snow storms, atmospheric rivers on the West Coast, and heavy snow again just about everywhere else. Life keeps moving, though. News out of DC — beyond Joe Biden’s quick work — is the T-Rump might slip-pass conviction in his…
America is in a kind of fix. President Joe Biden has been in office less than a week and the horrible memories of the awful days of the T-Rump are being slowly whitewashed away by a loud blare of a whining minority while the biggest chunk of Americans want the former president convicted and made…
One scary COVID-19 phenomenon is whenever there’s a perceived downward curve on infections/hospitalizations/deaths our whole shit melts away and we breathe a sigh of relief, reopen closed societies and try to regain a sense of normalcy, but seemingly always too soon. Although the numbers have dropped, they’re still shitty (John Hopkins University): As of this…
A major portal for the public into any White House is through the press briefing/conference, they’re either chaotic bullshit or reassuring to facts and reality. One really refreshing aspect of Joe Biden’s presidency so far is the question-and-answer sessions with Biden’s White House press secretary, Jen Psaki. In her very-first appearance before reporters last Thursday,…
UPDATE This occurred after I posted last evening: Now back to the show… Along with Joe and Jill Biden taking-up residence in the White House, also for the first time in four years — dogs. The Bidens have two German shepherds, Champ and Major, but I couldn’t find any news about them arriving at the…
(Illustration: Woodblock print by the Japanese ukiyo-e artist Hokusai, ‘The Great Wave,’ found here). In human behavior it seems, accepting belief in a nut-job conspiracy theory and handling COVID-19 misinformation are two distinct dumb-ass positions. This for sure has been an era of conspiracy theories, pop-up delusions and deceptions galore, but with the virus it…
A cover of an old, old song about horseshit left in shit-stalls: Artwork depicting a lot of garbage-scattered ground, not only just one particular place, but throughout everything a president would touch, because we know, anything T-Rump touches dies — the image above could also represent the entire federal goverment and all its appendages. After…
