War, Politics, and Life by Bruce Maulden
Near full-dark this early-evening Friday here in California’s Central Valley — weather be as weather do. Topping still all the news cycles today is/was the shit in Ukraine. Russia on the roll and Vlad Putin displaying traits of being a Hitler-like monster despite babbling near-incoherently in a late-1930s mode: ‘“Neanderthal and aggressive nationalism and neo-Nazism…
Entering the third day of the crazed, maladjusted invasion of Ukraine, Rachel Maddow set the standard in revealing the real asshole, piece of shit that’s Vlad Putin — a whine-fest way-anti-democratic and dangerous turd: Rachel back in full form last night after a six-week hiatus with a precise sizing-up of Vlad and the object of…
(Illustration from The New York Times earlier this morning). As I type this post, I’m watching Joe Biden do his thing as all of us come to grips with a shitty, un-called-for war in Ukraine, and how Peter Doocy is a total asshole. And now Biden’s finished — reporters are still shouting questions. I missed the…
Beyond Ukraine this morning, but still on just how extremely awful are Republicans and why we’ll probably never get a true handle on the COVID-19 pandemic. This is a problem not of the so-called, and touted ‘misinformation’ tactic, but of plain-old out-n-out lying. Vaccines with boosters prevent serious illness, and even death — pure fact.…
Once again, back again this near-mid-day Tuesday here in California’s Central Valley — expecting some rain this afternoon, but this is drought infested lands, so I don’t expect much. Despite not feeling real good, at least I don’t feel real bad. The cold/flu/whatever/maybe COVID I’ve been experiencing the last 10 days or so has become…
After nearly a full week of the ebbing of sickness, I’m feeling somewhat better this early-evening Saturday here in California’s Central Valley — although I never ventured out today, we experienced another bright, beautiful one in a continuing string of spring-like weather, which doesn’t augur well for the awful coming heat of summer. Enough of…
Unfortunately, the last three days I’ve been too slow to give a shit on just about anything — even doomscrolling the news is ho-hum with frightening mental spells — and I couldn’t get my desire up to scale to post shit on the ton of shit taking place all over the shit place. What happened…
In a spin-off of yesterday’s post and the wake-up call needed for AG Merrick Garland to get his ass in gear to prosecute the T-Rump for the shitload of crimes he committed in broad daylight and has even boasted about them. Despite some calls for Garland to be cautious and get all the T-Rump legal…
(Illustration found here). Anxiety-inducing news out of eastern Europe this Saturday (a throwback to the ’90s, or maybe the 1930s?) is the mad escalation of the dustup/invasion of Ukraine by Vlad’s Russian army — as the image above notes, the largest country on the continent against the second-largest seems right. Although I’d been figuring Putin…
A grifter’s grind. (Illustration found here). In a world gone near-mad with shitstorms festering all over — war in Ukraine, democracy in peril, crazy-ass truckers are closing down cities, and now T-Rump has a literary grift with the same inept, lazy and fact-free menu like all of anything he’s involved with or is around. A…
