War, Politics, and Life by Bruce Maulden
(Illustration: ‘Why Nurses Do What They Do,’ by Emily Thomas, and found here). Just I figured a long, ugly while ago, we’re far from being out of any kind of woods in conjuction with overcoming the crazy-ass COVID-19 pandemic, as mini-surges seem to be developing across various part of the US — and this despite…
In a post designed to showcase an American piece of shit, a nice start is to first exhibit that sense of helping neighbors and fellow companions (h/t tweet tengrain): And shifting to something that’s utterly (otterly?) sickening — Lindsey Graham being a piece of sanctimonious shit regarding being racist and the tsunami of Republican-led voting…
Reality seen with your own eyes, except for the T-Rump and every fucking Republican sucking air right now — on Fox News Thursday night, T-Rump described in a seemingly fever dream the Jan. 6 US Capitol building insurrection/riot: “It was zero threat, right from the start, it was zero threat. Look, they went in, they…
Some dangling participles today from Joe Biden’s first presidential press conference with an emphasis on reporters not really doing their jobs (I touched on this yesterday) and seeking out shit not needed to be sought (via a review of the event at CJR): Dan Froomkin, the journalism critic, said that the presser created the impression that as…
Sad, angry shit this morning off the ugly vandalism of America yesterday in Georgia, which in itself is only representive of Republican endeavors nationwide — why the living-shit do we have to turn to The Onion for a reality check? (h/t tweet Daily Kos): In a rational-based society this shit wouldn’t exist, but yet a…

The reporter’s reality is to the people: Journalists are supposed to work really for the truth and present…
America appears on the democracy precipice right now, despite gains made the last months — Joe Biden elected president, the COVID relief bill passed, among other benefits — and how Congress reacts in the near future, especially on voting rights, will tell the tale of whether we stand or fall. However, the hard place of…
Sunshine with a cool breeze this late-afternoon Monday here in California’s Central Valley as we try and make it through the shit piled-up around our ears. One aspect of this shit is the astounding, unmitigated gall of Republicans to switch truth in reality to lying in the open and getting pissed when called on it.…
January’s insurrection/riot at the US Capitol building is still fresh in the air, but the ghastly event was perpetrated by self-centered dimwits like this coffee-shop owner in Ohio: ‘“If you voted for Joe Biden, don’t buy our coffee, it’s not for you,” he said. “If you feel that America is on the right track and…
Laying-up in Florida, nasty-faced and stumped of glory, the T-Rump is in a financial and legal pickle as his beloved glory days are in their sunset times — even his “Trump Force One” rots away unused: ‘Donad Trump’s 757 jet is in mothballs in upstate New York, missing parts with one of its engines shrink-wrapped.‘…
