War, Politics, and Life by Bruce Maulden
UPDATE: Late-afternoon Friday: Background per CNN: The President’s comments, the strongest yet from Biden on possible repercussions for those who refuse to cooperate with the select committee’s requests, upended days of discipline from the White House, which has sought to distance itself from the House’s expected criminal contempt referral against Steve Bannon. White House press…
In a small, first step in bringing accountability to the horror-mischief of T-Rump and his boys, the House select committee investigating the Jn. 6 insurrection/coup/riot will push the DOJ to hold Steve Bannon in contempt for not showing up today, as per subpoena, to testify before the group. Supposedly, the committee will hold a vote…
Autumn continues with cool sunshine this late-afternoon Wednesday in California’s Central Valley — I can’t believe half the workweek is gone already as we start the slide toward another weekend. Time flies whether you’re having fun or not, or whether you just sit and stare at the clock — nowadays and despite the proverb, a…
Among a pile of T-Rump stories this Monday afternoon — for instance, he whined on Newsmax about a reporter for Fox News; there’s a stream of reportable shit off his rally Saturday night in Iowa, where GQP bootlickers paraded before the T-Rump crowd (especially Chuck Grassley, who swallowed turn-about lie-turds up to his eyeballs that…
On occasion, a Friday news-story dump happens early, and sometimes it’s not even a dumpster item — Joe Biden was straight today with his official dismissal of T-Rump’s ‘executive privilege‘ bullshit, maybe allowing access to some criminally-cringeworthy documents. All kinds of material shit, phone records, emails, whatnot, leading to the Jan.6 insurrection/riot: In just the…
In America’s never-ending, near-continuous daily unfoldings of T-Rump’s Big Lie bullshit and his unprecedented attempts to keep on being president even after obviously losing the November election, today another chapter — the Orange Turd tried to weaponize the DOJ to overturn the whole shebang. The Senate Judiciary Committee released a 400-page report, aptly entitled, “Subverting…
Even as Joe Biden and Democrats strive to keep America afloat, the truth-bringing to the dumb-ass ‘coup’ attempt by the T-Rump at the end of his term in office appears to be hitting too close to home — if you can’t lie your way out of shit, then just ignore the law. As Congressional Republicans…
Even as the world turns, the debt-ceiling trainwreck is still hollering on down the track with about two weeks left before the US powers off the rails into financial never-never land. Odd, though, the entire bullshit caper is spawned by a political party that doesn’t even pretend to give a shit about what happens to…
(Topside Note: Great-big thank-you this morning from this humble, tiny blog to Tengrain [Mock, Paper, Scissors] for a shout-out at Crooks&Liars‘ blog line-up — super-nice way to start the day). As we stare down a possible economic collapse/catastrophe due to the foolishness of a debt ceiling muck-a-muck, the violent, crazy side of right-sided society will…
Overcast and brown once again this late-afternoon Monday here in California’s Central Valley, the blowback/blow-around off wildfires burning south of us. Further proof of days like this of being normal. In another overcast story in California today wasn’t with the weather, but the never-ending COVID pandemic, especially here in the Central Valley, but also surging…
