War, Politics, and Life by Bruce Maulden
(Illustration found at National Geographic). A new climate report that’s more than a little ominous — the Guardian this afternoon: Tropical forests are taking up less carbon dioxide from the air, reducing their ability to act as “carbon sinks” and bringing closer the prospect of accelerating climate breakdown. The Amazon could turn into a source…
America is on a threshold of some heavy shit. (Illustration: Elizabeth Warren, found here). Yesterday, my most-favorite Elizabeth Warren went down in sad flames in the Super Tuesday primaries played out over 14 states, and American Samoa — Mike Bloomberg’s only win. He finished in better position than Warren in that respect, as Joe Biden…
This country is up shit creek without a paddle — a group of federal judges had set an emergency meeting for today on matters that “could not wait,” but now have decided to wait after the T-Rump tweeted this yesterday (h/t Raw Story): So, this afternoon CNN filed this: A group of federal judges hastily…
Each day lately seems to bring its own shit-storm of dramatic nuttery. (Illustration: ‘William Barr – Caricature,’ by DonkeyHote, found here). Today’s episode concerns the continuing flak off the Roger Stone tribulations, a multi-faceted showcase for how dark the US legal operation has become under the T-Rump, especially in the more-unhinged, nasty-faced bullying form the…
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…
This is shitty within a shitty context occurring at a shitty time (CNN): A federal appeals court on Friday dismissed a lawsuit by congressional Democrats alleging President Donald Trump violated the emoluments clause of the Constitution by refusing to allow lawmakers to review and approve his financial interests. The ruling is a major triumph for…
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…
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…
Even as the Senate impeachment trial of the T-Rump continues into next week, more shit is arising from the muck, maybe along with displaying even more corrupt, criminal activity, invigorates and bolsters evidence already presented at trial — via Slate this afternoon: Hours after the Senate voted against calling witnesses in President Donald Trump’s impeachment…
