War, Politics, and Life
Once again the floating skirt-tails of the T-Rump saga darkened another dim-bulb in the continuing tale of crime, corruption, and crass behavior — New York federal agents executed a search warrant this morning at the home and office of muckraker extraordinaire, Rudy Giuliani, as the noose tightens on high misdeeds and low intelligence. Rudy is…
One of my all-time favorite political people, of the non-office-holder type, is James Carville, coming to my attention as lead strategist for Bill Clinton in 1992, and has since remained in the forefront of talking politics in America and abroad ever since. He has a great zense of self-deprecating humour which adds to his appeal.…
Where does the asshole stop? Tucker Carlson is not only an unmitigated liar, but anti-societal in his rantigs about masks and the fever dream of freedoms. Indeed the horrors of irony are so lost on the right-handed nutjobs creating chaos in a dangerous environment. Despite the deaths of 572,850 Americans in just a bit more…
America right now is in a grip of not only a health-related pandemic, but also a mental-phyical epidemic of pure crazy-lying and bullshit by nearly half of the population — Republicans aren’t really doing anything to help the country, but are repeatedly trying to tear it down. A baffling situation to me when a large…
Just weeks following his election in 2008, President Obama did a couple of things that both pissed me off and let me down — one was naming Tim Geithner as treasury secretary (and later Larry Summers as head of the National Economic Council), idiot assholes that shit on any ‘change‘ anyone could ever believe in…
Joe Biden continues, even connecting with the hard-to-handle youngsters: Good vibes from young people it seems, despite some heavy shit going down — notable snips from the Harvard Youth Poll released today: In the fall of 2017, only 31-percent of young Americans said they were hopeful about the future of America; 67-percent were fearful. Nearly…
A most-wonderful surpise! Despite the presented evidence, I wasn’t sure if the jury would act in a humane fashion and find the asshole guilty of murdering George Floyd last May. Top-notch, best encapsulation came from the White House where Joe Biden and Kamala Harris watched the unfolding jury return: ‘“A collective exhale. From everyone ……
Finally off the shit list — today Merced County where I live skipped up a notch from the worse in California. From the Merced Sun-Star this morning: Merced County officials say they received good news from the state on Wednesday, as they were given permission to move into the red tier for reopening the economy.…
Last night, residents of South Florida on the Atlantic coast got a thrill, and probably a quick scare across the skies above them (per NPR): And from another angle: Scrolling around the InterWebs this morning, I couldn’t get any confirmation the object was the projected asteroid scheuled to pass earth last night — from EarthSky…
Once more, White House press secretary Jen Psaki today popped not only a reporter, but an asshole Republian who doesn’t know his ass from T-Rump’s butt. Psaki can really work: Details via Mediaite this afternoon: White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki delivered a curt response to Sen. John Cornyn (R-TX) for his criticism of President Joe Biden’s social and television media…
