A pleasant, not-bad late-afternoon Wednesday here in California’s Central Valley — we’re starting a cool-down period for the next few days, dropping into maybe the high 80s tomorrow. Weather can be nice, but the old restaurant success adage comes to mind: Location, location, location. And for the right-wing MAGA crowd, the location is actually violence…
Quick is apparently Jack Smith’s motif in the T-Rump insurrection case. In the ‘Protective Order‘ filing for this afternoon, T-Rump’s lawyers want as much shit possible to be made public (CBS): ‘In a 29-page court filing on Monday, Trump attorney Todd Blanche and John Lauro argued for a much narrower protective order than Smith had…
Hot already just past the noon hour this Monday here in California’s Central Valley — although the air carries a heavy feel to it as we near triple digits (101 the expected high today), it’s still below intolerable levels. Cool heat is maybe the ticket out of this heat-domed mess — only temporary as the…
In the course of current events, T-Rump really, really sucks. He has to be one of the worse — if not the actual worse — human beings who’s ever lived. One wonders at the low-form definition of what the T-Rump amplifies: The success of Donald Trump, an asshole who became president, created a fallacy: Americans…
Even on the weekend, the legal wars of the T-Rump continue in a notice of how much a violent-inciting piece-of-shit the Orange Turd actually is within the framework of threatening people who oppose him. Although just earlier on Thursday during his arraignment, the T-Rump was instructed/warned by Magistrate Judge Moxila A. Upadhyaya not ‘“… to…
(Sketch above by Jane Rosenberg for Reuters, and found here.) Once again the T-Rump was in a packed, anxious courtroom this afternoon for more criminal activity (The Washington Post): ‘Former president Donald Trump pleaded not guilty Thursday to charges that he plotted to overturn the 2020 election before and after the Jan. 6, 2021, attack…
Nice weather this noon-time Thursday here in Calfornia’s Central Valley — temps in the high 70s right now with an expected high only bout 10 degrees higher, and in being relative, is near-about chilly. In our political environment this morning, it’s just about all T-Rump — he’s scheduled to be in a DC courtroom this…
Already breathlessly awaiting the news, the vast InterWebs became awash this Tuesday afternoon with the announcement: A grand jury has indicted former president Donald Trump for multiple alleged crimes stemming from his efforts to overturn the results of the 2020 election. The four-count, 45-page indictment accuses Trump of three distinct conspiracies, and charges that he conspired to defraud the…
Hot but overcast a bit this late-afternoon Monday here in California’s Central Valley — and with the clouds, the air is more livable and somewhat easier to handle. Plus, temperatures are reportedly under three digits, so there’s that, too. Meanwhile, the politics of America continue unabated into a full-blown whacked country. Our timeline despite recent…
Ending the weekend this late-afternoon Sunday here in California’s Central Valley — tomorrow comes the return of a relentless, depressing news cycle that only sometimes cools off during our two-day break. And we can’t leap from tomorrow to Friday without some serious shit coming down. Today seems quiet, though, with an occasional pinch of surreal:…
