War, Politics, and Life by Bruce Maulden
Among the many villainous Republican attributes is corruption in the power of an office — from the top down, from T-Rump all the way to bottom feeders (h/t tweet Vixen Strangely): In the case of Ms Chao (MoscowMitch’s wife), there’s a retroaction whammy — via CNN last night: The Transportation Department’s inspector general asked the…
UPDATE: Not surprising: Rapid return of a mostly non-starter — via CNN this afternoon: Trump’s lawyers quickly responded to Raskin’s request on Thursday, writing back in a three-paragraph letter, saying the request was a sign the House could not prove its allegations against Trump. “The use of our Constitution to bring a purported impeachment proceeding…
In this era of bluster, lies and pretense, could a new study from the UK (and apparenty most concerned with Brits) also be present in the US, that is, why do people of priviledge sometimes talk-down their personal history, shifting their ‘origin stories’ from rich to poor, thus, falsely claiming their current status was due…
America is at a nasty precipice, and whether we go over and down, or turn and walk smartly to the nearest bridge-crossing will be known in the next few days, if not sooner. We’re not only caught up in the surge of an actual catastrophic pandemic, but also face an infectious virus oozing through the…
(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…
As the events from last week continue to reverberate today as the House formally charged T-Rump with one count of “incitement of insurrection” on the Capitol building mega-melee — the first president ever to maybe be impeached a second time, in just over a year. Although five people died in the riot, there have been…
In our way-modern world social media opens shit up (except in the T-Rump’s case, closes it down) and exposes reality, as identifying the assholes from Wednesday’s insurrection encounter at the nation’s Capitol, leading to arrests and worse — family members going WTF. Best shot (h/t tweet BJ): And social media has also brought home, literally,…
Second day in, and we’re still living a way-terrible fairy tale: And yes, I’m also ‘gobsmacked’ and even more perplexed how any human being could even consider the value of the T-Rump, a guy without a bit of anything good — he’s 100-percent all bad. Not one single bit of a redeeming quality. Yet these…
An imbalance in the $900 billion Congressional COVID-19 relief bill has unplugged the Twitter world, spawning the hashtag, ‘ #LetThemEatCake,’ with notable sarcasm: Although I covered some of this imbalance in a post this morning, apparently the whole thing is rife with unnecessary shit — some finer details via The Washington Post this afternoon: But…
In the laborious era of the coronavirus there’s been a couple of bright slices of light recently, one of course, the vaccines, and the other a hard-accomplished COVID-19 relief bill passed this week by our near-worthless Congress, though, the paltry portion lies plainly on the side of shit-stamping Republicans. Definite the divide as captured by…
