War, Politics, and Life by Bruce Maulden
In the US right now, folks of a certain age have witnessed two major real-time events which shifted national action and discourse — the first was Sept.11, 2001, and the Twin Towers. The second just last month, the Jan. 6 insurrection/riot at the DC Capitol building. The last one maybe hit closer to home, perhaps…
I just couldn’t help myself, but make a call-out to the way-most inarticulate and on-its-face foolish reply from an elected official in an era of insanity in said elected officials. And it’s kind of personal as I’m originally from Alabama — hey, everybody’s got to be from somewhere. (Great h/t to tengrain): Details via BusinessInsider…
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…
In the course of human events never it seems have so many idiots worked for an incompetent idiot to cause so much havoc — T-Rump’s new impeachment lawyers filed a 14-page brief this morning as the Senate trial starts next week, and they’re straight-faced clowns. Are these people professionally dumb, or what? Typos in the…
As we work our way into the new year, the less-than-two-week-old Joe Biden presidency has turned around a lot of how the country sees the White House operation, not only in more truthful press briefings, but also how the current group holds the cards closer to the vest. And offers more control, especially with swatting…
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…
A major concern for this country in the immediate-short future is the cuckoo-for-Cocoa Puffs stain found in public discourse, coming full-bore from Republican mouths and anuses (correct spelling) with very little stop-gap time between lies, conspiracy theories, threats of violence, and other assorted idiotic bullshit that nearly inundates news cycles. And no shut-down or even…
Circumstances so far in 2021 appear to make this less-than-a-month year a ratcheting-up squel to 2020, though, with a way-different hand at the national helm there’s some sure footing at least for a while. Still, we’re in the deep-midst of a worldwide virus clusterfuck, plus a democracy showdown in the US, with now an overall…
(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…
A deep reveal of the reality of our current GOP absurdity (h/t tengrain): Gross, and further still: Howver, not an ounce of any kind of romance — it’s all liars lying about lying. Jennifer Rubin at The Washington Post this morning on the crazed GOP: When it comes to the former president specifically, PRRI reports,…
