War, Politics, and Life by Bruce Maulden
Yesterday, a peculiar day in history — ‘You get the idea. This abundance of twos and zeros makes Feb. 2, 2020 the first international palindrome day in 909 years (since 11/11/1111), and it won’t happen again for another 101 years (12/12/2121) on the Gregorian calendar.’ And also yesterday, a factoid note appeared on my iPad:…
Even as the Senate impeachment trial of the T-Rump continues into next week, more shit is arising from the muck, maybe along with displaying even more corrupt, criminal activity, invigorates and bolsters evidence already presented at trial — via Slate this afternoon: Hours after the Senate voted against calling witnesses in President Donald Trump’s impeachment…
In many ways, the T-Rump is a horrifying virus, a disease upon all kinds of things, from politics and governance to clean water, health care and social programs — he’s a destroyer, lurching from one obilirated sector of life to another, everything the T-Rump touches dies. A human infection, a virus, an endemic canker with…
Seemingly, the nowadays a drama-like perpetual-motion machine — in a snap of time this morning (a measured dog-walk length), comes this: When I’d left on the walk with Leroy, my daughter’s Basset/Greyhound mix, the pose of the sad-depressing state of the Senate impeachment trial was evidently-naturally sad and depressing. Flashes of dictators and coup-like scenarios…
America in 2020 is on the precipice of history — this grand 250-plus-year-old experiment in governance is currently on unhinged footing, teetering at the edge of a deep-fall cliff, the plunge like chaos usually witnessed in third-world countries every few years. Or maybe Brazil nowadays, or Australia. The next few months will tell the tale…
As most-all eyes are fastened on daddy T-Rump’s idiotic impeachment trial, son-in-law Jared Kushner is making the world safe for grifters: Some background via Vanity Fair yesterday: Last June, more than two years after his father-in-law assigned him the task of bringing peace to the Middle East, Jared Kushner held a big kickoff conference in…
In some nifty news beyond the DC beltway — Peter Jackson’s documentary of the Beatles recording and musical hijinks creating “Let It Be,” and even roughing-out songs for “Abby Road,” is getting ready for release. According to an announcement right-about this time a year ago, Jackson, late of “Lord of the Rings” fame among a…
Which does lead to this: This entire enterprise is a farce, but a needed farce, however. The GOP-controlled Senate will acquit, with almost no argument there. Beyond a play on words, grandstanding and other political bullshit, Republicans will disappear behind a veil of ugly and despite the obvious, vote to let the orange turd continue…
Infamous Ukraine strikes again, this time skittish Lindsey Graham caught in the web of shit — from the Daily Beast this morning: In late 2018, Rudy Giuliani said he delivered an unusual missive to Sen. Lindsey Graham, according to the lawyer of one of his ex-associates: a letter calling for sanctions on a host of…
Here it is the third day in the defense of the T-Rump in his Senate impeachment trial and the proceedings are batshit-crazy, mainly because it’s obvious the orange turd is guilty, but now there’s John Bolton’s book manuscript — “The Room Where It Happened: A White House Memoir,” a copy of which was leaked over…
