War, Politics, and Life by Bruce Maulden
In context of this particular Thursday, the news cycle is getting old. Generally the same daily shit twisted as if in a Twilight Zone-influenced-Groundhog Day episode, and then repeats the repeating. Against the grain, though, we must continue to move forward. However, I did have a nice experience due to a couple videos that crossed…
Among the many villainous Republican attributes is corruption in the power of an office — from the top down, from T-Rump all the way to bottom feeders (h/t tweet Vixen Strangely): In the case of Ms Chao (MoscowMitch’s wife), there’s a retroaction whammy — via CNN last night: The Transportation Department’s inspector general asked the…
One of the wonders of the T-Rump era is how easily a shitload of people become nasty supplicants to the orange turd, and seem to cower in keeping the Big Lie glaring and loud. In one aspect, the Big Lie is their only course, yet don’t these people have any kind of a conscience: They’re…
As we continue on, Republicans continue their onslaught on democracy, mainly because they have no idea how to govern and their whole playbook is grievance and the T-Rump — and they just don’t give a shit anymore, spewing their nefarious intentions right out in the open (h/t tweet Susie): Details via CommonDreams this morning: An…
Even as the Republican assholes try and shit on the country, from voting suppression/insurrection to allowing COVID to spread, one is softened at least some by the humble heroics of Dolly Parton. After pledging $1 million to Vanderbilt University last April, which partly funded the Moderna mRNA vaccine, the 75-year-old received her COVID vaccine shot…
As it’s Monday, first day of a new month, and after just six weeks at work Joe Biden is way-popular and the T-Rump is still the biggest asshole on earth — Republican, GOP, conservatives/conservatism, how/whatever you call it, according to Jennifer Rubin at The Washington Post this morning, ‘has no principles at all‘ — and…
(Illustration found here). In this social-media world, a goodly-portion of users are drawn like ‘rats’ in posting shit on the varied media platforms in a pattern similar to ‘reward learning,’ seeking approval in ‘likes.’ A new study indicates we’re tied into the most-basic instincts — via NYU.edu this past Friday: “These results establish that social…
In lieu of real news to shit on, I’ve decided to start a new series commemorating a vital segment of movies — the opening sequence, also sometimes called the title sequence, which in the best films sets the tone for the movie itself. A shitoad of recent movies don’t have opening credits anymore, they go…
As the supposed work-week comes to end, another non-news dump piled up on a Friday without much major damage, other than the shit which burns through every day-in-and-day-out — welcome to the day before a dumbbell weekend. Shitting across the news cycle is the crazy circus, or CPAC, thus started today and will run-on itself…
Obviously, Repubs have reached the end of their golden thread: One wonders at the brain-set of these people — via the Guardian‘s live blog this morning: A viral video shows two men in suits pushing the kitsch monument through the corridors of the Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC) in Orlando, Florida, where admirers snap photos…
