War, Politics, and Life by Bruce Maulden
As we continue to watch the prosecution of the Jan. 6 insurrectionists/rioters the entire scenario is noted for the absence of anyone above the Capitol-building invaders — no T-Rump conspiracy assholes. Although the recent indictments of criminal Oath Keepers for seditious conspiracy was a big legal leap in bringing the entire coup attempt by the…
A way-politicalized, straight-on clip that’s now all over the InterWebs since this morning, sure you’ve probably already seen it — I’m just going to pop it here where I can click on the post (especially from my iPad) see it again and again — right on the bulbous, enflamed nose: There’s more in the air…
My youngest daughter called me from Minnesota today one year ago. She sounded taken-way-aback, and a bit frightful — “Are you seeing what’s on the TV right now,” she nearly cried. “Duh!” I quickly replied. There was really nothing else to go with, no real usable words to conjure up an explanation for such a…
Thick fog covering the just-turning-dark this Wednesday here in California’s Central Valley — a depressing look to say the way-minimum, but that’s the current motif seemingly embedded in our psyche nowadays. All looney tunes with the despondency, too, which makes it shit worse. Another piece of weird for this already weird new year — lightning…
Darkness already this early-evening Tuesday here in California’s Central Valley — despite it being night-like outside, darkness has been known to lie. Even when it’s obvious: A crucial point from Wendy Weiser, vice president for democracy at the Brennan Center for Justice (NPR this afternoon): ‘I am worried that if we don’t pass federal legislation,…
(Illustration: Pablo Picasso’s ‘Guernica,’ and found here). Another gloomy-gus democracy on the brink poll — via NPR this morning, though, the results indicate the lying, rot-backside to the destruction of the American experience: A new NPR/Ipsos poll finds that 64-percent of Americans believe U.S. democracy is “in crisis and at risk of failing.” That sentiment is…
Second day of 2022 and the feeling continues to reflect not-happy for Americans — new poll results (The Hill this morning): ‘Indeed, more than one-half (51-percent) of voters say that the U.S. democracy is at risk of extinction — including 49-percent of Democrats and Republicans, as well as 54-percent of Independents. Just one-quarter of voters…
Here this mid-day Saturday in California’s Central Valley, more new-year wise-acre shit, and some news on T-Rump’s emotional part in the DC coup-attempt now nearly a year ago — first smile (h/t Just An Earthbound Misfit): Maybe a New Year day-one surprise and maybe we can ease up on the screaming — good news maybe…
Despite the horror of American democracy under fire from all things Republican, that fire is blazing right out in the broad daylight — those who love the T-Rump and truly believe he’s the president (or act that way for many nefarious reasons) run their mouths, create treasonous, illegal plots and then perform in pubic as…
First up above all else for a second this Monday morning — a great, big thank-you to tengrain, who wondrously blogs at Mock Paper Scissors, and who while handling Mike’s Blog Round-up this week at Crooks&Liars, gave this humble, lowly blog a much-appreciated great shout-out today. Tengrain has done it more than once before, so…
