War, Politics, and Life by Bruce Maulden
Another T-Rump book hit the InterWebs this Tuesday morning, and shock and awe, he’s still an asshole piece of shit. How many of these non-literary scandal sheets are coming — just last week was Bob Woodward’s saga and dozens came before that, all tell the gross, nasty story of the horridness of the T-Rump. In…
(Illustration: ‘In Jail,’ image via Michael Cohen from last May, and found here). One of the more pleasant aspects of any thought about the T-Rump is the possibility of his fat ass sitting in a jail/prison cell — although the reality of such a thing is historically remote, there’s still the wish. As long as…
Forest-fire skies this late-afternoon Sunday here in California’s Central Valley — brown-stained air from the wildfires south of us in the Sequoia National Park, which keeps a lid on any clean sunshine. Reportedly, the fires (three total) are growing, but have stayed fairly-clear of the giant sequoia trees found in the park. Meanwhile, on the…
Quiet and near-still this late-afternoon Saturday here in California’s Central Valley, and the hush can be felt on the InterWebs, too — a placidity before a storm sense, maybe. Hopefully not, but yet… Some tweets I came across in search of a news story to center this post, but really couldn’t put an old, bony…
Warm and brown-tinted overcast this late-afternoon Friday here in California’s Central Valley, and summer clings to us like the horror of seeing T-Rump play golf. In my post earlier today on the maybe/seemingly dismal future for American democracy, the picture does look bleak, but a real bright spot I failed to mention with the T-Rump…
This country is indeed in frightful, dispiriting peril. A for instance: In response to the terrible Texas law, House Democrats this morning passed the Women’s Health and Protection Act, which would establish a federal right to abortion — and to no shock/surprise the measure passed on party lines: ‘With the House speaker, Nancy Pelosi, presiding…
(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…
Cool and comfortable this mid-day Thursday here in California’s Central Valley as apparently-obvious we’re into the autumn season — if only it stayed this way. Winter, however, is now one day closer. Dying in the US has taken a sizeable upswing the last couple of years, not only with the COVID pandemic, but we as…
As the backwash off T-Rump’s coup attempts pushing the Big Lie as he left office in January, along with knowingly lying about fraud, and other asshole endeavors, now there’s T-Rump trying to blow chaos into the turbulent wind — suing people. In this particular case, somebody who knows what a piece of shit he really…
Major news this Monday afternoon beyond the Wall Street market meltdown is an ugly benchmark made with the current continual horror-story — COVID-19 — as the US has apparently eclipsed Spanish flu dying a hundred years ago, but we’re way-not finished yet. In reality, old news: From the Associated Press this afternoon: “Big pockets of…
