War, Politics, and Life by Bruce Maulden
UPDATE: In sloppy resistance from Democrats, the Senate this afternoon passed the MAGA/T-Rump endorsed House bill– an “…an attack on everyday Americans” — to fund the federal government through September, averting a shutdown. Via the Guardian: ‘Ten Democrats joined with Republicans to clear the 60-vote threshold needed to advance the measure. Democrats confronted two painful…
Fear is the accepted standard for the T-Rump: Looks like only the single survives. And it’s getting scary tight — from The New York Times last week: ‘People on both sides of the aisle who would normally be part of the public dialogue about the big issues of the day say they are intimidated by…
Sunny and warm this mid-day Monday here in California’s Central Valley — weather the rain tomorrow today. In place of anything worthwhile, some music pertinent to the shitty-like nowadays. Just remember, it’s not over ’til the fat lady sings! First, of course, is what’s happening every fucking day except not necessarily on my fucking doorstep:…
He does as he is: In daily/hourly reflections on our current situation resulting from numerous news scrolls, the best overview/description of the T-Rump I’ve seen lately came this morning from Paul Campos at Lawyers, Guns, Money: Donald Trump is disgusting. He is physically disgusting: the sight of a nearly 80-year-old man primping himself into a…
Today a bridge was crossed. Although there’s been a decade’s worth of shitty shit happening lately, an incident in T-Rump’s off-the-rails, unhinged work in making the world is a bit more ominous, chillingly predictable and immensely dangerous for everyone. And really, extremely obvious: Views like a movie screened in real time. And one thing is…
An alteration for the current nowadays: I watch the ripples change their size But never leave the stream Of warm impermanence And so the days float through my eyes But still the days seem the same And these children that you spit on As they try to change their worlds Are immune to your consultations…
What we really need in these anxious, shit-hitting-the-fan times: An afternoon’s moment within the next couple of hours. And a particular doomscroll on how America is getting fucked, and fucked in a hurry. We’re currently cracking up, way off the rails, and displaying sad, harrowing signs we’ve maybe reached the end of the track for…
Rainy and cold this mid-morning Thursday here in California’s Central Valley — a crank in the levers of the real-deadly horror of the T-Rump, supposedly in the middle of winter: Via the Guardian this morning: A run of record-breaking global temperatures has continued, even with a La Niña weather pattern cooling the tropical Pacific. The…
Clear and a bit chilly this late-afternoon Sunday here in California’s Central Valley — no matter how you look at it, in the morning we’ll face another Monday. If we survive the night, that is … And adding fuel to a shitlist of ugly shit from that stinky piece of shit, the T-Rump, the last…
Drizzling rain this early-evening Saturday here in California’s Central Valley — supposedly a few days of wet ahead. A good thing considering wildfires, drought, and such I haven’t posted much lately. Even if you just half-assed follow the news, you’d still come to grips/understand the anti-creative horror of what we’re endearing. And if you pay…
