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…
In some nifty news beyond the DC beltway — Peter Jackson’s documentary of the Beatles recording and musical hijinks creating “Let It Be,” and even roughing-out songs for “Abby Road,” is getting ready for release. According to an announcement right-about this time a year ago, Jackson, late of “Lord of the Rings” fame among a…
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…
Earlier in the dawn-like hours, original point of this post was to be a non-newsy update on medical marijuana based on an op/ed on the subject I only spied this morning, which was already more than a year old. In the past, I’d watch and note advances made in not only the ever-growing legalization movement,…
(Illustration, Jim Lehrer, found here). The awesome PBS journalist Jim Lehrer died today, age 85. He was the real voice of top-notch integrity of the Fourth Estate, an entire generation’s worth of reporting in the white-light of truth and reality. I started my journalism career in the mid-1970s, about the same time Lehrer teamed-up with…
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,…

(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…
In the era of strange: Chipping around, kick my brains around the floor These are the days it never rains but it pours And here it comes again: Plus, I hope this ain’t happening — one of my all-time favorites, though, haven’t heard it in awhile: Onward into the weird of 20/20… (Illustration: Salvador Dali’s…
