All over the news this afternoon — via CNN: In an extraordinary move, all four federal prosecutors who took the case against longtime Donald Trump confidant Roger Stone to trial withdrew Tuesday after top Justice Department officials undercut them and disavowed the government’s recommended sentence against Stone. The mass withdrawal of the career prosecutors on…
My greatest anxiety-spiked fear, a most-legitimate fear — Democrats are notorious for self-fucking-up, but this no time for it, as tomorrow this shit gets real (h/t Susie): Beyond all the twisted lies, cherry-picked ‘alternate facts’ and conspiracy theories to be unleashed by Republicans from now til November, especially from the bowels of the T-Rump, the…
Time flies when you’re having fun — this evening 56 years ago a major social event which set the cultural standard-pace even until to this very day, media/music/me: The Beatles appearance on the Ed Sullivan TV variety show, Sunday night, Feb. 9, 1964. Unfortunately, or maybe fortunately, too, I was out of the country at…

Even expected shit still stinks, but a redeeming sweet scent came last night from rippling fingers of Nancy Pelosi, and so again this afternoon at the hand of young Grete Thunberg (h/t tengrain): Along with the double ripping a new one, major-major news was the T-Rump being acquitted earlier today of charges of abusing his…
In “his” State of the Union last night, the T-Rump continued the lying and bullshit he’s known for, but the real sensation was a bit of backlash from his own medicine cabinet: Nancy Pelosi’s rip-roaring move was executed without a hitch, though, she claimed otherwise, a comeback on that handshake snub from the T-Rump, which…
Another day in the American life with politics of pure horror: (Illustration: The T-Rump Shit-Dance found here). Pix above is asshole-asshat T-Rump on Sunday contradicting his national anthem pose of can’t respect the flag, “Maybe you shouldn’t be in the country.” Then get the shit out! Worse still, the T-Rump’s fabled State of the Union…
