War, Politics, and Life by Bruce Maulden
America in 2020 is on the precipice of history — this grand 250-plus-year-old experiment in governance is currently on unhinged footing, teetering at the edge of a deep-fall cliff, the plunge like chaos usually witnessed in third-world countries every few years. Or maybe Brazil nowadays, or Australia. The next few months will tell the tale…
As most-all eyes are fastened on daddy T-Rump’s idiotic impeachment trial, son-in-law Jared Kushner is making the world safe for grifters: Some background via Vanity Fair yesterday: Last June, more than two years after his father-in-law assigned him the task of bringing peace to the Middle East, Jared Kushner held a big kickoff conference in…
Which does lead to this: This entire enterprise is a farce, but a needed farce, however. The GOP-controlled Senate will acquit, with almost no argument there. Beyond a play on words, grandstanding and other political bullshit, Republicans will disappear behind a veil of ugly and despite the obvious, vote to let the orange turd continue…
Infamous Ukraine strikes again, this time skittish Lindsey Graham caught in the web of shit — from the Daily Beast this morning: In late 2018, Rudy Giuliani said he delivered an unusual missive to Sen. Lindsey Graham, according to the lawyer of one of his ex-associates: a letter calling for sanctions on a host of…
The T-Rump can’t help himself, one truly-vile, nasty-ass piece of work: Schiff responds — via Reuters this morning: Asked on NBC’s “Meet the Press” if he took the Republican president’s social media post as a threat, Schiff said, “I think it’s intended to be.” As lead impeachment manager, Schiff, chairman of the House Intelligence Committee,…
Playing out in America’s TV land today is a clear case of a way-weird George Orwell/Terry Gilliam movie, developing a couple of plot-lines running concurrently — one a perspective in concise, factual-legal summations of the constitutional/legal abuse of power, and obstructed of justice found in the actions of the T-Trump; the second a shit-show of…
Here we go again today, round three in the shiftiest courtroom on earth, the US Senate impeachment trial of the T-Rump, the lowest-form president in the history of the American experiment. Moscow Mitch and the rest of the head-banging T-Rump toadies are replacing reality with drama-queen theatrics. Lying for Republicans is as natural as breathing,…
Fortunately — if such a horrifying situation with the T-Rump could have anything at all to do with anything auspicious — the entire cabal of liars, cheats, dip-shits making-up the T-Rump administration is that they’re all total nincompoops, speaking the private parts out loud, being openly criminally crooked. (h/t Mark Sumner at Daily Kos): Some…
Here we go, the opening round of the T-Rump’s Kangaroo Court — oops, sorry, Senate trial on impeachment — and the shit has already hit the fan. Closed tighter than a clam, the Senate is listening to itself this afternoon as the world isn’t watching (h/t Susie): Just in the nick, there’s been a decent…
Here it is on Monday, the day before the start of a most-rare event in American history and the ratfucking bullshit from Republicans continues with unfaltering zest, even outside constitutional reality. Right now I’m watching Hallie Jackson on MSNBC shred the thin skin of one of the T-Rump’s ‘lawyers‘ Alan Dershowitz as he attempts to…
