War, Politics, and Life by Bruce Maulden
Although I wrote this morning on the lop-sided power of a minority Republican party to wield such chaos-causing power on American society, there is, however, apparently some chinks in the T-Rump armor, from Liz Cheney’s turbulent blasts, to the feds breathing down the orange-turd’s legal neck, with the peace in the MAGA world really a…
One nasty feature of Republicans is always playing ‘the victim card‘ no matter the circumstances: ‘After the attempted coup, the mood in the pro-Trump world became one of profoundest self-pity.‘ And that’s the GQP fall-back stance on everything — they’re the casualty in all the toss-and-tumble of politics. Bullshit. The victim here is America, and the…
As I noted in my post this morning, Joe Biden’s speech to Congress last night was a rousing success on many levels and the polling in the aftermath shows the hard results — Americans who watched Joe perform, loved it. Hence, Republicans are having a hard tine grappling with it, as it has become way-obvious…
Joe Biden’s speech last night to a joint session of Congress was a way-apparent success and a BFD — one of those orations that not only sits well in the mind, but had enough bite to float in the memory for awhile. Not only the image of two females behind him on the dias, but…
One of my all-time favorite political people, of the non-office-holder type, is James Carville, coming to my attention as lead strategist for Bill Clinton in 1992, and has since remained in the forefront of talking politics in America and abroad ever since. He has a great zense of self-deprecating humour which adds to his appeal.…
Once more, White House press secretary Jen Psaki today popped not only a reporter, but an asshole Republian who doesn’t know his ass from T-Rump’s butt. Psaki can really work: Details via Mediaite this afternoon: White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki delivered a curt response to Sen. John Cornyn (R-TX) for his criticism of President Joe Biden’s social and television media…
(Illustration: ‘Reptiles,’ by MC Escher, 1943 (Lithograph), and found here). One of the more-ugly aspects of GaetzGate for me is that the asshole represents the area where I grew up — the Florida panhande. I spent most of my youth there, from third grade through high school graduation (attending Choctawhatchee High School in Fort Walton…
(Illustration: ‘Look, We’ve Got To Improve Our Voter-tracking,’ canvas print by Rpbert Mankoff, and found here). In an obvious reaction to the T-Rump and Republicans in general the past four years (especially the last couple), the majority of Americans are tending to slip leftward in response to the clusterfuck hoisted upon them with GOP-influenced COVID…
(Illustration: ‘Eye,’ by MC Escher, and found here). A way-enormous chunk of Americans are carrying around solid cases of mental disorder of the highest caliber and are prone to fits of pure fantasy even with shit they see with their own freaking eyes and hear with their own asshole ears. I really don’t know if…
Warm-bordering-on-hot this late-afternoon Thursday here in California’s Central Valley, with deep, yellow sunshine adding to the sense of heat — summer’s coming way-soon and it’s going to be long and hard. In the news, Republicans top the cycle again for being assholes and nasty-ass fuckers, emitting foul shit from leaning into The Big Lie to…
