War, Politics, and Life by Bruce Maulden
Which does lead to this: This entire enterprise is a farce, but a needed farce, however. The GOP-controlled Senate will acquit, with almost no argument there. Beyond a play on words, grandstanding and other political bullshit, Republicans will disappear behind a veil of ugly and despite the obvious, vote to let the orange turd continue…
Infamous Ukraine strikes again, this time skittish Lindsey Graham caught in the web of shit — from the Daily Beast this morning: In late 2018, Rudy Giuliani said he delivered an unusual missive to Sen. Lindsey Graham, according to the lawyer of one of his ex-associates: a letter calling for sanctions on a host of…
Playing out in America’s TV land today is a clear case of a way-weird George Orwell/Terry Gilliam movie, developing a couple of plot-lines running concurrently — one a perspective in concise, factual-legal summations of the constitutional/legal abuse of power, and obstructed of justice found in the actions of the T-Trump; the second a shit-show of…
(Illustration, Jim Lehrer, found here). The awesome PBS journalist Jim Lehrer died today, age 85. He was the real voice of top-notch integrity of the Fourth Estate, an entire generation’s worth of reporting in the white-light of truth and reality. I started my journalism career in the mid-1970s, about the same time Lehrer teamed-up with…
Here we go again today, round three in the shiftiest courtroom on earth, the US Senate impeachment trial of the T-Rump, the lowest-form president in the history of the American experiment. Moscow Mitch and the rest of the head-banging T-Rump toadies are replacing reality with drama-queen theatrics. Lying for Republicans is as natural as breathing,…
Fortunately — if such a horrifying situation with the T-Rump could have anything at all to do with anything auspicious — the entire cabal of liars, cheats, dip-shits making-up the T-Rump administration is that they’re all total nincompoops, speaking the private parts out loud, being openly criminally crooked. (h/t Mark Sumner at Daily Kos): Some…
Here it is on Monday, the day before the start of a most-rare event in American history and the ratfucking bullshit from Republicans continues with unfaltering zest, even outside constitutional reality. Right now I’m watching Hallie Jackson on MSNBC shred the thin skin of one of the T-Rump’s ‘lawyers‘ Alan Dershowitz as he attempts to…
Tomorrow is a brand-new year, but top of the news rounding-out 2019 is a topic decades old — Iraq. Via the Washington Post: Supporters of an Iranian-backed militia besieged the U.S. Embassy in Baghdad on Tuesday in retaliation for U.S. airstrikes, breaking through the first layer of security at the embassy compound and damaging a…
Foggy, damp and more-than-cool this Wednesday evening on California’s north coast — sunshine busted through a bit in the early afternoon, but slowly the scenery went all fucking gray again. Seems like everything has gotten darker, the sky a misty ash wet to the touch. While on a mid-day dog run at Little River State…
One of the more-excellent reasons why the T-Rump should be booed at every opportunity — Adam Jentleson today at GQ Trump may be the president, but he is a deeply immoral man in ways that transcend partisan divisions. If you shoehorn all the despicable things Trump has said and done into the aphorism of “agree…
