War, Politics, and Life by Bruce Maulden
Thick fog covering the just-turning-dark this Wednesday here in California’s Central Valley — a depressing look to say the way-minimum, but that’s the current motif seemingly embedded in our psyche nowadays. All looney tunes with the despondency, too, which makes it shit worse. Another piece of weird for this already weird new year — lightning…
Darkness already this early-evening Tuesday here in California’s Central Valley — despite it being night-like outside, darkness has been known to lie. Even when it’s obvious: A crucial point from Wendy Weiser, vice president for democracy at the Brennan Center for Justice (NPR this afternoon): ‘I am worried that if we don’t pass federal legislation,…
(Illustration: Pablo Picasso’s ‘Guernica,’ and found here). Another gloomy-gus democracy on the brink poll — via NPR this morning, though, the results indicate the lying, rot-backside to the destruction of the American experience: A new NPR/Ipsos poll finds that 64-percent of Americans believe U.S. democracy is “in crisis and at risk of failing.” That sentiment is…
Second day of 2022 and the feeling continues to reflect not-happy for Americans — new poll results (The Hill this morning): ‘Indeed, more than one-half (51-percent) of voters say that the U.S. democracy is at risk of extinction — including 49-percent of Democrats and Republicans, as well as 54-percent of Independents. Just one-quarter of voters…
Here this mid-day Saturday in California’s Central Valley, more new-year wise-acre shit, and some news on T-Rump’s emotional part in the DC coup-attempt now nearly a year ago — first smile (h/t Just An Earthbound Misfit): Maybe a New Year day-one surprise and maybe we can ease up on the screaming — good news maybe…
Despite the horror of American democracy under fire from all things Republican, that fire is blazing right out in the broad daylight — those who love the T-Rump and truly believe he’s the president (or act that way for many nefarious reasons) run their mouths, create treasonous, illegal plots and then perform in pubic as…
In this time of madness, a cadence of the measure (h/t Miss Cellania): (Illustration found here). A decent foible of the horrid nowadays is showing empathy (without the screaming and crying) — there’s a lot of shit out there happening to folks all around us, from the pandemic to politics (MAGA relatives) to severe weather.…
One terrible, nasty aspect of how Republicans work their lifestyles upon the rest of us is through the pathetic and asinine use of crowing victimhood whenever they’re called on something that’s obviously shitty and there’s no way out except to apologize — which they never do, so we’re stuck with their shit. A recent prime…
Even in the fading light this early-evening Sunday here in California’s Central Valley and the future of our current American life is on the line, starting next year. In that regard, good interview this afternoon at the Guardian with Patrick Gaspard, the new president and chief executive of the Center for American Progress (CAP), among…
Is the T-Rump going under or what? Time will not tell: Did the T-Rump just misspeak as he has tons of times before? Or it’s the itch of keeping a lid on such a most-prominent lie that caused him to spout off — via Salon this afternoon: The former president made the admission while discussing…
