War, Politics, and Life by Bruce Maulden
One nasty feature of Republicans is always playing ‘the victim card‘ no matter the circumstances: ‘After the attempted coup, the mood in the pro-Trump world became one of profoundest self-pity.‘ And that’s the GQP fall-back stance on everything — they’re the casualty in all the toss-and-tumble of politics. Bullshit. The victim here is America, and the…
(Illustration: The U.K. and France as seen from the Space Station, and found here). Just when you thought it was safe to go outside again, or maybe even stay inside, depends on the chance: Details via SpaceNews on Friday: China launched the first module for its space station into orbit late Wednesday, but the mission…
Here it is Sunday way-again — we’re now in the fifth month of 2021 and the days have churned past quicker than those cinematic calendar pages rapidly flipping, illustrating the way-fast passage of time. Result of that film scene would be at the end of the sequence some weird shit usually happens. December 2020 seems…
The T-Rump’s 100 days out of office is a reflection of really being pathetic, and would be sad if he wasn’t such a horrendous, psychotic monster incapable of even slightly-acting like a normal human being. Instead of any kind of legitimate post-presidential action, the T-Rump working out of a converted bridal suite at Mar-A-Lago is…
Today marks the anniversary of that infamous White House Correspondents’ Association Dinner where then-President Obama roasted the shit out of the T-Rump, and most-likely put such a scar on the weasel he caused great harm to befall the US five years later. And that horror sustains itself to this very day. Thanks, Obama. No, wrong!…
As I noted in my post this morning, Joe Biden’s speech to Congress last night was a rousing success on many levels and the polling in the aftermath shows the hard results — Americans who watched Joe perform, loved it. Hence, Republicans are having a hard tine grappling with it, as it has become way-obvious…
Once again the floating skirt-tails of the T-Rump saga darkened another dim-bulb in the continuing tale of crime, corruption, and crass behavior — New York federal agents executed a search warrant this morning at the home and office of muckraker extraordinaire, Rudy Giuliani, as the noose tightens on high misdeeds and low intelligence. Rudy is…
One of my all-time favorite political people, of the non-office-holder type, is James Carville, coming to my attention as lead strategist for Bill Clinton in 1992, and has since remained in the forefront of talking politics in America and abroad ever since. He has a great zense of self-deprecating humour which adds to his appeal.…
Where does the asshole stop? Tucker Carlson is not only an unmitigated liar, but anti-societal in his rantigs about masks and the fever dream of freedoms. Indeed the horrors of irony are so lost on the right-handed nutjobs creating chaos in a dangerous environment. Despite the deaths of 572,850 Americans in just a bit more…
America right now is in a grip of not only a health-related pandemic, but also a mental-phyical epidemic of pure crazy-lying and bullshit by nearly half of the population — Republicans aren’t really doing anything to help the country, but are repeatedly trying to tear it down. A baffling situation to me when a large…
