War, Politics, and Life by Bruce Maulden
In an attempt this late-afternoon Tuesday to stay away from news on the Virginia governor’s race (too anxiety-like depressing), and the sad shenanigans in DC (Asshole Joe Manchin being an asshole, also down-deep depressing) as Joe Biden’s agenda and America’s future goes kaput, and latched onto some new shit on another depressing subject — climate…
Election day 2021 with mostly all-eyes on the Virginia governor’s race, along with contests for mayor in Boston, Atlanta, Minneapolis, New York, and Buffalo (NY), with horrible one-sided races — Democrats want to govern, Republicans want to lie and whine about the evils of all kinds of shit without a thought on voters real concerns.…
(Illustration: Cartoon by Kevin Kallaugher (KAL), and found here). One of the worst people on the planet right now is most-likely Joe Manchin. I know, I know there are murderers out there, rapists, child abusers/pedophiles, killers in mass, yet most of these-pieces-of-shit are hopefully confined to a small space of horror-infliction and not in a…
A lot of DC news today, but most-likely one which will have repercussions both good and bad down the line if the way forward is through justice and accountability and not ‘sitting president’ bullshit. In a House vote, Steve Bannon was held to be contemptible: Details per The Washington Post late this afternoon: The House…
Colin Powell died earlier today — as I’m sure you now know — he was 84 and lived a high-flying military life. Despite all the achievements, he will be remembered most/best for lying at the UN to allow the inhumane, illegal invasion of Iraq. Reportedly, Powell died from the effects of the COVID virus. Via…
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…
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…
