War, Politics, and Life by Bruce Maulden
Angle of attack (CNN): ‘But President Donald Trump is proving that a politician can absolutely harm the economy when they lack any regard for the consequences, borne largely by the people who elected them.‘ The T-Rump sucks: However, he’s sucked for a long, long time. And so sucky, he’ll never reconize his own shitstorm: T-Rump’s…
Overcast skies with a semblance of rain-to-come this late-afternoon Saturday in California’s Central Valley. Rain was forecast for today, but so far we’ve been high and dry. Maybe later: The annual White House Correspondents’ Association (WHCA) dinner is tonight — shit ain’t the same in T-Rump time, making it sour-like to squeeze humor out of…
This particular day, 18 years ago, was a Tuesday. What a stretch of time, huh? In April 2007, war was the major topic, and shit looked bad — yet in a nowadays perspective, them was the good-ole-days. Sarah Palin was still more than a year off, and Barack Obama was already on the scene: ‘“America…
A gray, cool late-afternoon Tuesday here in California’s Central Valley. First post this month that isn’t a beloved-dog obit — Bad (and nefarious) shit is accumulating so fast nowadays it’s getting harder and harder for me to slow down enough to type instead of doomscrolling for the daily/hourly/minute-by-minute activities of an advancing black hole of…
Fear is the accepted standard for the T-Rump: Looks like only the single survives. And it’s getting scary tight — from The New York Times last week: ‘People on both sides of the aisle who would normally be part of the public dialogue about the big issues of the day say they are intimidated by…
Sunny and warm this mid-day Monday here in California’s Central Valley — weather the rain tomorrow today. In place of anything worthwhile, some music pertinent to the shitty-like nowadays. Just remember, it’s not over ’til the fat lady sings! First, of course, is what’s happening every fucking day except not necessarily on my fucking doorstep:…
Drizzling chilled rain this early-evening Wednesday here in California’s Central Valley, with just a hint of daylight left, looking like a cold, wet, dark night. Of course, it’s always normally dark at night, unless there’s light. As we progress through the 44th day of the T-Rump’s wild ride in an on-going attempt to dismantle the…
He does as he is: In daily/hourly reflections on our current situation resulting from numerous news scrolls, the best overview/description of the T-Rump I’ve seen lately came this morning from Paul Campos at Lawyers, Guns, Money: Donald Trump is disgusting. He is physically disgusting: the sight of a nearly 80-year-old man primping himself into a…
Clear and quiet this early-evening Tuesday here in California’s Central Valley. (Illustration: “Collapse Of Perfection,” oil on canvas, by Peter Kim, and found here.) Shit’s getting deeper by the day. I’ve found it hard to post nowadays with such pessimistic ugliness polluting the news cycle nearly at a 24-hour-a-day clip. Nothing but horrifying shit-bending scope…
Overcast and cold this late-afternoon Tuesday here in California’s Central Valley. Along with some freezing temps the last few days, we’re forecast for another ‘atmospheric river‘ to wash our way Thursday/Friday, pelting us with maybe three-fourths an inch or so of rain. One must weather the weather whether you like it or not. Today a…
