War, Politics, and Life by Bruce Maulden
As COVID-19 surges, the very assholes who claim it’s all a hoax and let the people die are testing positive for the disease. This morning Republican Sen. Rick Scott of Florida announced he’d tested positive — the seventh GOP senator infected by the deadly shit since it started, and a mass of them the last…
Crystal-clear and chilly this early-evening Thursday in California’s Central Valley as we bring another dislocated workweek close to completion — one more day and we’re into the weekend. Yeah — screamed in a faintly-audible whisper. Not the normal weekend, though, as California on Saturday will start a curfew due to surging COVID-19 cases. Announced this…
Another day in the life, and it sucks. Mainly because we have a psychotic monster in charge of our country. And apparently likely to get worse, both with COVID-19, and with the monster. Adm. Brett Giroir, assistant secretary of health who leads the government’s COVID testing efforts, said yesterday we be nearly fucked: “Right now,…
One of the worse graphs for the nowadays — saw it early this morning (h/t BJ): Chart is much-more visual, and compelling off my iPad, you can zoom in — the United States, about mid-way (sixth country from the bottom), only country angling upward, the rest of the world seemingly at least working to get…
(h/t Miss Cellania): In the current state of affairs, there’s really no conversation, dialogue or discussion about just about anyting in the good, old US of A. One of the two parties to this colloquy is mean spirited, and thrives on lies. Neither of the two biggest subjects right now – the runaway COVID-19 virus,…
I was shocked, shocked! (h/t BJ): And even worse, but in the same killing field (h/t Tom Sullivan at Digby’s place): Click on the tweety bird for the full thread — sad and exasperating. The entire COVID-19 infrastructure is fucked, as a shitload of people are not paying attention to what is happening around them,…
Fog and a chill in the AM, but now early-evening Saturday has mostly clear skies with fading, but-still bright sunshine, and the air is much warmer. Weather here this morning in California’s Central Valley was just a preview to our immediate future — endless Tule fog and coldness. Horror of the fog is driving, reportedly…
A crisp tint to the air here this Thursday afternoon in California’s Central Valley, fading sunlight with barely a breeze paints a picture of winter-approaching for these parts — cold and fog. Weatherwise a reflection; America is experiencing a storm of sorts, with the enormous question right now is whether the tempest will get worse,…
The T-Rump is one nasty-faced human being. Culture in the face of such profound ugliness and an appreciation for it is really, really hard to explore, much less bring to any kind of decent closure — T-Rump has no redeeming qualities whatsoever, and looks it. He’s pure, worthless shit. Surfing the news this afternoon, I…
Most-likely the horrific main horror from off the T-Rump and his crowd is the killing fields produced by runaway COVID-19 in just about the entire US — 139,855 new cases just yesterday, 10.4 million total; 242,070 deaths with 1,448 yesterday. Meanwhile, on the freakish other hand of a way-dangerous pandemic and the assholes who dwell…
