War, Politics, and Life by Bruce Maulden
As I posted yesterday about vote suppression across the US by Republicans, it seems Georgia is not alone in bullshit hypocrisy with Arizona a way-prime example: The GOP is fucked with voters and they know it, and the only way around this Constitutional barrier is to bullshit with Arizona just one of a shitoad of…
An unexpected pleasure: Via the Guardian‘s live blog: With the flick of his pen, Biden signed into law a $1.9tn coronavirus relief package, cementing the first major legislative victory of his presidency. “This historic legislation is about rebuilding the backbone of this country and giving the people of this nation, working people, the middle class…
Rain expected any time now this late-afternoon Tuesday here in California’s Central Valley, although showers were forecast to have arrived already, and the way this winter is going, rain-wise, it may not come at all. We’re hurting for water. What’s also in a weird-ass hurt is GOP DC politcians facng the overwhelmingly-popular support from Americans…
(Illustration: A coin issued by Brutus in the autumn of 42 B.C., encrypted with EID MAR (Eidibus Martiis – on the ‘Ides of March’), and was found here). By Eva M. Hardly a surprise. However, I just couldn’t help but shake my head in disgust yesterday when I read that part of Joe Biden’s relief…
Finally, this monrning after way-too-much bullshit: Details via The Washington Post just a bit ago: The Senate approved a $1.9 trillion coronavirus relief plan on Saturday, as Democrats muscled through a marathon debate — and overcame dissent from moderates within their own ranks — to move one step closer to delivering President Biden his first…
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…
UPDATE: ‘Per CNN: President Donald Trump has signed the massive $2.3 trillion dollar coronavirus relief and government funding bill into law Sunday night, according to multiple sources, averting a government shutdown that was set to begin on Tuesday, and extending billions of dollars in coronavirus aid to millions.’ A sigh, followed by a whimper… ***…
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…
A victory, long-in-coming: Yeah, the Senate. Even more reason the Georgia run-off is so damn important — well, way-way- important to this country’s survival in any ‘normal’ fashion. And Republicans are such hypocritical assholes: Republicans ridiculed the measure as unnecessary when so many Americans need economic relief from Covid-19. “With all the challenges America has…
A sunny and breezy early-evening Tuesday here in California’s Central Valley. Big, white clouds, too, and a cool-ish temperature (70-degrees right now) and an unfamiliar feel to the air — we had some fairly-heavy hail yesterday afternoon, and looked like rain this morning. Blogging outside again with a pix of the scene. I’m retired, so…
