War, Politics, and Life by Bruce Maulden
Sunny, hot, and somewhat-humid this mid-day Wednesday here in California’s Central Valley. Even with scattered-overcast skies, it’s going to get warm — we’re in the mid-80s right now, forecast for 103 later this afternoon. Just out back doing a B&M (Wine, Wood-tip), and I could feel the truth in that temperature prediction. Anyway, one of…
Serious news all day — this morning testimony/a review of a terrible-ass insurrection; while this afternoon a slide back in the struggle to get a grip on the COVID-19 virus — the former, all politics and dying, and the latter, horribly also all politics and dying. Republicans and the T-Rump have a lot to answer…
Dominating the news cycle this Tuesday morning by a way-long shot is the opening session of the House Select Committee on the Jan.6 attack on the US Capitol, and began at the most-correct point — testimony from four police officers who defended the building that day. And the all-around best response to the hearing, which…
Even in the vast multitude of crude remarks from the T-Rump, today Kevin McCarthy added an overall collective word to the ever-expanding Republican asshole-lexicon — ‘churlish: 1) like a churl; boorish; rude. 2) of a churl; peasantlike. 3) stingy; mean. 4) difficult to work or deal with, as soil.‘ McCarthy tried to act mockingly, but…
In a display that’s getting old and worn, White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki schooled Fox News‘ Peter Doocy afresh today on COVID facts and figures — some ‘reverse gotcha’ podium speak: Details per Raw Story: White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki on Monday was forced to explain the basics of the coronavirus pandemic to…
In search of soul, the T-Rump took his Big Lie bullshit on the road today, with an appearance in Phoenix, titled as obvious as possible, “Rally to Protect Our Elections,” which leaves an acid taste in the mouth when read, to hear it spoken could cause immediate, acute diarrhea. Beyond back-slapping some Republican assholes running…
As the immature, cranky dust-up between Nancy Pelosi and Kevin McCarthy continues, Republicans’ nefarious scheme to put a lid on any investigation into the fever dream of a stolen election comes further into daylight. GQPers are guilty of sedition and they know it. McCarthy tried to put loudmouth quacks on the House Select Committee, but…
One thing Republicans can’t handle is pushback, and their response is generally a baby-whine of pity and way-dumb self-righteousness, and this morning a fine example — Kevin McCarthy got his feelings hurt by Nancy Pelosi: Just on Monday did McCarthy finally name his five Republican picks for the House Select Committee to investigate the January…
Already the deep-makings of another hot one this mid-day Tuesday here in California’s Central Valley. Heat is all over the place. Back east in DC another heated dust-up between prime asshole Rand Paul and Anthony Fauci, which again leads to the question of whether Paul is an idiot or just a way-abnormal shit — he…
Hot but not unpleasant this late-afternoon Thursday here in California’s Central Valley, though we’re forecast for another ‘mega-heat wave’ this weekend (happily about as bad as our last hot spell, but not as ‘mega’ as the one in June), so enjoy for the right now. In surfing the InterWebs, the word, ‘coup,’ in regards to…
