Yeah, I knew that post sounded familiar… And if it was made an hour ago, why doesn’t it say “875999 hours” now? It should be like a countdown timer (especially for those of us who are planning to come back and watch it disappear). ---

Trump + clusterfuck gets more than 3 million hits on Google. People really absurdly overestimate how well known this site is. It goes along with all the nonsense about us being infested with Russian bots and trolls. > [@](#): > > I haven’t been piled on like this since back when I started this thread and predicted trump would be an asshole president.

> [@ThelmaLou](#): > > Why are you doubling down on pounding me into the pavement? Why are you being such a snowflake? You said something silly in the Pit, and got called on it. You’re not being “pounded in to the pavement,” you’re being mildly ribbed. And you should know that your own doubling down on something stupid and being a crybaby about being called on it is just going to up the ante. ---

Straight Dope gets # 9 out of 345000 hits using term “Trump Adminstration Clusterfuck”. Jeez, have some pride. I’m completely biased though, as the clusterfuckery resources and links source here are always better than anywhere else. Been reading Political Wire com lately though, great source for cartoons. ---
