War, Politics, and Life by Bruce Maulden
Finally at last, the final day of the shittiest year in history, or at least in my lifetime — I’ve spent now more than 72 years here on this planet and nothing compares to 2020 for the sheer volume of shitty shit. Topping that list, or course, is the horror of the COVID-19 pandemic, which…
Time draws nigh upon us for end-of-the-year lists, and to-do lists for the 2021 (in Before Times, this tally was generally called, ‘New Year’s Resolutions‘), but first we have to say good-fucking-bye to 2020 — which termination of said year coming slowly-way-quickly. Best so far in this genre (great h/t to Miss Cellania): 1. The…
UPDATE: The Nashville car bombing is getting more strange as the afternoon progresses and shit pops up on the scroll — per Mediaite: Footage posted on Twitter Friday by a mysterious account showed the apparent message — and subsequent blast — that rocked the city. “This area must be evacuated now, this area must be evacuated…
Good grief! Yesterday, the orange-turd issued pardons and commutations to 20 assholes, liars, embezzlers, killers, all either pled guilty of crimes, or were convicted in court of crimes, most were political shitheads, four were found guilty of killing Iraqi civilians for no reason in 2007. All today’s shit via The Washington Post this afternoon: President…
America is currently located at a twisted crossroads where our 250-year-old experiment in democracy has come to a threshhold of change, one way or another the future is storm-cloudy. The T-Rump and a hige chunk of Americans seem to think we can veer off into the weeds and be fine — the bad shit is…
A warmed-hearted breaking-news event this afternoon (h/t tengrain): Via CNN: The Supreme Court rejected a bid from Texas’ attorney general — supported by President Donald Trump — to block the ballots of millions of voters in battleground states that went in favor of President-elect Joe Biden. The court’s move to dismiss the challenge is the…
In this current climate of reckless horror by the Republican-infused anti-democratic horse shit, this is probably the most-frightening example since the plot against Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer (h/t LG&M): Quick summary via The Daily Beast this afternoon: The Republican leader of the Pennsylvania State Senate said she feared she’d “get my house bombed” if she…
Today, one of the T-Rump’s campaign lawyers and a former U.S. Attorney, Joe diGenova, blurted-out some awful shit under the circumstances: The Bulwark this afternoon: DiGenova, appearing on the Howie Carr show, which simulcasts on Newsmax, took aim at Krebs as an aside during a wheels-off segment full of false claims about how the United…
Cool and clear this early-evening Friday here in California’s Central Valley, and my sense right now feels a bit like a way-dark comedy seething with measurable trepidation — an unhinged monster is calling the shots in some serious shit, especially with a part of that shit, a vast war machine. Domestically, the T-Rump has been…
I was shocked, shocked! (h/t BJ): And even worse, but in the same killing field (h/t Tom Sullivan at Digby’s place): Click on the tweety bird for the full thread — sad and exasperating. The entire COVID-19 infrastructure is fucked, as a shitload of people are not paying attention to what is happening around them,…
