War, Politics, and Life by Bruce Maulden
Near-about clear skies and warmish temperatures this late-afternoon Wednesday here in California’s Central Valley — rain forecast for tomorrow and Friday, but now it’s best to enjoy the now. On the list of cringe-worthy, shitty items bubbling in our news feeds today and maybe in a long time, this from SCOTUS freaking-ass sucks — it…
Hot even in the shade this early-evening Wednesday here in California’s Central Valley — we’ve reportedly started a climb this week to summer-like temps as the weather heats up in accordance with the coming days. A/C or the shade, inside or outside, as we try to handle the uncomfortable one way or another. What’s hard…
Some specimens in the Republican mindset nowadays — one frame after another. Despite the age, racism, and whiteness: Nutshell via CNN late this afternoon: Beatty, who chairs the Congressional Black Caucus, said in a string of tweets, “Today, while heading to the House floor for votes, I respectfully asked my colleague @RepHalRogers to put on…
Tweet for the twitter birds of absolute shit — Republicans are the worse with MoscowMitch slime leader: Nutshell via The Daily Beast late this morning: If only politicians thought before they talked. Sen. Mitch McConnell (R-KY) seemingly implied on Wednesday that Black Americans are not true Americans. Following a failed vote on Democrats’ John Lewis…
Even as the world turns, the debt-ceiling trainwreck is still hollering on down the track with about two weeks left before the US powers off the rails into financial never-never land. Odd, though, the entire bullshit caper is spawned by a political party that doesn’t even pretend to give a shit about what happens to…
(Illustration: ‘Government Shutdown Crisis,’ by Nonja Tiller, and found here). As if Americans didn’t currently have enough on their collective-disaster plate, now there’s the idiotic GQP-influenced debt ceiling bullshit, maybe leading to a US government shutdown at the end of this month, followed by a financial calamity for everybody but rich assholes. The debt ceiling…
Another boilermaker day — 109-degrees outside right now (late-afternoon Monday in California’s Central Valley) — as we spin through work-week kick-off with shit hitting the fan everywhere. Probably the most-historic event today was an end to an inspired bit of action begun a month shy 20 years ago, but quickly shit the roost, and now…
One thing Republicans can’t handle is pushback, and their response is generally a baby-whine of pity and way-dumb self-righteousness, and this morning a fine example — Kevin McCarthy got his feelings hurt by Nancy Pelosi: Just on Monday did McCarthy finally name his five Republican picks for the House Select Committee to investigate the January…
Nice and still somewhat-cool this mid-morning Thursday here in California’s Central Valley, though, enjoyable right now, we’re in for some hot-spanking weather later today, and for days into the climate-changing future. Beyond weather and our physical-surrounding environment, we take a quick glance at the shitty mood of politics in America nowadays and how our current…
The nasty, dangerous and anti-American scene at the US Capitol earlier this year will always be most-likely one odd bit of national history — the off-tune is reality. Live TV and video later showed a hardcore, cruel attack on a government building with the express mission of changing an election outcome, with five people dying…
