War, Politics, and Life by Bruce Maulden
A couple of short takes on the current mile-marker in this madness-Twilight-Zone-episode entitled, “2020” — both clips hearty h/t tengrain: And here: And as if on cue: Another blathering press conforance this afternoon quickly assembled/slapped-together in a foolish frenzy of What. The. Fuck. Via the Guardian‘s live blog: A hastily called Trump campaign press conference…
Cold and clear this Monday morning here in California’s Central Valley, frost on the ground. Meanwhile back east, Joe Biden is heating up the transition to office with way-most-likely the most-important issue facing the US (and the world) right now — COVID-19. After meeting with his newly-formed coronavirus task force, Joe spoke about the situation:…
Sunday morning not coming down, but actually going up. We continue to bask in the limelight of Biden/Harris and gag-reflex at the T-Rump as he waltzes to the golf course this morning once again — remember he was in the bunker at Trump National Golf Club in Virginia when notified yesterday Biden had finally been…
Celebratory outakes continue as Joe Biden basks in the moment. Boris Johnson finally sent congrads to Joe, being a Trumpster and all, but curdled it in a message saying he looks ‘“forward to working closely together on our shared priorities.”‘ And an UK image for Sunday: Meanwhile, far to the east in DC, the T-Rump…
Biden/Harris with a celebration in the air. New York, New York! (h/t Digby): And outside the White House (h/t Raw Story): And from the groundbreaking newly-minted Vice President (h/t BJ): Harris is history in real time — from The Washington Post this morning: A vice president-elect stepped forward on Saturday, and, for the first time…
We got it! Karma calls from Pennsylvania! (h/t Susie): Simplicity from CNN just a few minutes ago: ‘Joe Biden will become the 46th president of the United States, CNN projects, after a victory in the state where he was born put him over the 270 electoral votes needed to win.’ Joe’s with his family at…
An anxious, nit-twitted sojourn continues for America, and into Friday evening — when will Joe Biden be declared winner? This shit has dragged on so slowly long, speeches by Joe and Kamala Harris, scheduled for tonight, seemingly have been put on hold. Joe has outshone the T-Rump in Georgia and Pennsylvania, where red caps once…
Still waiting on the precipice this Friday morning as the counting continues in four states — the electoral vote tally remains at 264 for Joe Biden and 214 for the T-Rump, who’s handling the whole show like an overgrown asshole. Although no indication of a winner yet, Biden has overtaken the T-Rump in Georgia and…
While we’re still waiting for the election shoe to drop, obvious bullshit became even more conspicuous in a press briefing a little while ago by the malignant T-Rump, who blathered about how the whole balloting process is geared to steal victory from him. (I was taking a nap, missed it live). So bogus the pitch,…
As we continue to wait for the final election results, here’s a reminder of a backburner issue that’s bigger than the stove, and most-likely bigger than the kitchen: (Illustration found here). Near-about pushed aside is the real-horror of modern man — climate change. Yesterday, the US offically left the Paris Climate Agreement, an accord adopted in…
