(Illustration: Salvador Dali’s ‘Exploding Raphaelesque Head,’ found here). As the crookedly-corrupt cookie crumbles, petulant incompetent crime boss, the T-Rump, slapped snotty: — according to the UK’s Independent this morning: Donald Trump has reportedly cancelled the annual White House Christmas party for members of the media. The festive gathering has been hosted by presidents for decades,…
(Illustration above: Pablo Picasso’s ‘Weeping Woman,’ found here). Punch-back is in the wind — good attitude already from Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, who today took rightful-issue with White House spin-noddle Kellyanne Conway on reality, not “alternative facts.” Conway is a way-weirdo, odd looking, with a husband seemingly an exact political opposite — a freakish version of the…
One of the more normal days in the West Wing — soon the T-Rump is going have a real-fractured meltdown, just wait and see: We might have known, somewhat-maybe understood the depth of the T-Rump’s arrogance while wallowing in his own ignorance, but then along comes the scene-of-a-situation today between House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi,…
(Illustration: Pablo Picasso’s ‘Self Portrait Facing Death‘ (June 30, 1972), was originally found here). Chilly-dark this Monday evening on California’s north coast, sunshine through-out the day, a little rain expected tomorrow, more sun Wednesday and Thursday. So it goes… Our current time frame is a period of out-of-the-ordinary, and whether political, environmental, or whatnot, the…
(Illustration found here). Oft quoted nowadays — though, a good description of the T-Rump world, or just about any random Republican operating anywhere — the somber warning of Ben Obi-Wan Kenobi from long, long ago, and far, far away: ‘“Mos Eisley spaceport: You will never find a more wretched hive of scum and villainy. We…
(Illustration: Donald Trump, ‘Basic Shapes,‘ by caricaturist/illustrator Chong Jit Leong, found here). As anticipated today, a couple of legal droppings on News Dump Friday. The first was for the T-Rump’s former trickster-lawyer, Michael Cohen, a pair of sentencing memos — and the second, a filing against the T-Rump’s way-back campaign chairman, Paul Manafort. Apparently, a…
Another Monday here on California’s north coast, and another lark of sorrow — the T-Rump’s hard-headed, bat-shit-crazy take on that devastating climate-change report from last Friday (HuffPost): “I don’t believe it,” he told reporters outside the White House before boarding Air Force One for a flight to Mississippi. The president also attempted to place the…
Overcast this Wednesday evening on California’s north coast — rain this morning and on into the early afternoon, dry now. A weird holiday display and the obviously sad difference between Obama and the T-Rump Former President Barack Obama made a surprise visit to a Chicago food bank on Tuesday, lending a helping hand to volunteers tasked…
Today a display of extreme-criminal sanctimoniousness of the T-Rump — per Think Progress Outside of the White House on Tuesday, Trump said “Ivanka did some emails” before mentioning former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton five times in a span of roughly 40 seconds. … Trump said he looked at the reports regarding his daughter’s illegal…
Sunny but chilled by a sea breeze this Thursday late-afternoon here on California’s north coast, another day in the life. Since the midterms, I’ve become even-more wary of the T-Rump’s mental state. Always mean, back-stabbing and cruel-crazy, as noted at the Daily Beast this morning. Trump has repeatedly—and sometimes for a sustained period of time—made fun…
