War, Politics, and Life by Bruce Maulden
First up above all else for a second this Monday morning — a great, big thank-you to tengrain, who wondrously blogs at Mock Paper Scissors, and who while handling Mike’s Blog Round-up this week at Crooks&Liars, gave this humble, lowly blog a much-appreciated great shout-out today. Tengrain has done it more than once before, so…
One despairing item of the T-Rumpian/GQP destruction of American democracy is the assholes are seemingly doing such horrible shit right out in the open — if not in the open at least with minimum cover. Case in point is top-tier news a T-Rump boy had fashioned a ‘PowerPoint’ slide show on how to steal the…
A Sunday morning nutjobs precipice: The obvious national criminal activity from the T-Rump and his half-wit cronies doesn’t even seem to hamper the scam as he remains free as a bird to plunge onto a dumb-ass grifting-lying tour with quarter-wit asshole Bill O’Reilly and upon their initial blubber-fest last night created a miserable bust in…
As America wades into the start of the 2021 holiday season there’s violent weirdness seeping into the festivities — along with a fatal SUV attack at a Wisconsin parade, Kyle Rittenhouse walking and a shitload of less notable people, places, and things screwing with any kind of spirit of the season. Add to the recipe,…
A bit of sunshine finally this late-afternoon Wednesday here in California’s Central Valley — an emotional good swing from the thick ‘radiation fog’ that’s been enveloping the valley for days on endless days. Sun is happy. Meanwhile, far back east in DC, Paul Gosar was censured today by the House and removed from committee assignments…
*UPDATE BELOW* Democracy and the law seem worlds apart nowadays with Republicans doing just about anything they want without a peek of a pushback from any legal office — Steve Bannon is still shitting freely weeks after being held in contempt of Congress. And the roll call builds if there’s no jailhouse rock. Today, another…
UPDATE Below: As the law reaches for the fat-neck of the T-Rump, his lawyers filed a request this morning for a momentary stay of the order issued on Tuesday to allow T-Rump’s records to be released to the House committee investigating Jan . 6 by tomorrow evening, and no asshole holds about it. However, T-Rump…
Despite the motion of prosecuting the T-Rump and his cronies moving quickly forward, the legal ramifications of ignoring the due process of law have so far been a wash. And despite, too, the ruling last night from a federal judge that T-Rump’s White House records can/and must be handed over to the Jan. 6 committee,…
Thick overcast and looking like rain this mid-day Tuesday here in California’s Central Valley — we had some last night, but none so far today, though, it appears ready to unleash a torrent at any time. Whether how to weather the weather is the big question. Meanwhile, way-back East and the DC circus — I’m…
In the aftermath of Tuesday’s debacle of keeping democracy alive in America a lot has been written about what happened, who’s to blame, and what can be done about it. Most are bullshit, but there’s a crack in the ugly wall of non-governing Republican political shenanigans and if Democrats don’t take action, democracy will easily…
