Meanwhile, in Yemen...

Needless to say, yesterday's conviction of former Trump campaign manager Paul Manafort for tax and bank fraud made for what Liberals call "a juicy news day".

No doubt everybody in Flint, Yemen and all of Jeff Bezos' employees who are living in their cars are absolutely thrilled to pieces over this news.

Proposed US Space Force Logo

As most of you have heard, last week the comedy team of Trump and Pence announced an $8 billion splashdown for a new military branch, the U.S. Space Force -- and are also apparently inviting submissions for the logo design.

So what are they gonna do, fight giant bugs? Actually, I'm thinking the Space Grunts are gonna be guarding Elon Musk's gated Martian colonies for the rich.

It's Official: The Democrats Don't Care

So, this makes it official: the Democratic Party doesn't care. They aren't running in the midterms on the issues of skyrocketing college tuition, income disparity, police terrorism and murder, or any other issues directly affecting anyone remaing who bothers to vote -- they think they're going to surf that "Blue Wave" into a majority on the Hill by ramping up the krazy on their empty, hollow conspiracy theories and bargain-basement McCarthyism.

Those of you from outside the US looking in on the state of politics and media discourse here might guess that you were watching a community theatre production of an Ionesco play, and you would be absolutely right. The worst of it, though, is that those of us living here are all pretty much trapped in the play whether we like it or not.
