The Trump Administration: A Clusterfuck in the Making Part Deux (Part 1)

Fox has been claiming Blake’s father posts anti semitic remarks, as if that has anything to do with what happened to his son.

That’s true. Barr is far worse, and deserves to spend eternity in a lower circle of hell. This is no doubt why he still serving in the current administration.

I’m not restricting it to Covid19. But regardless of what Trump and his supporters want, the Covid19 crisis is going to be one of the top issue - probably the top issue - of this election.

Or ask that congress call on them to testify.

Individual 1 says he was so upset that he couldn’t visit the military cemetery that he “called home” to Melania to tell her how upset he was. She was not at home. She was with him on the trip.

When I was stationed in Mannheim from 1979 to 1982, living off base, my Saturday routine was to head to the base laundromat and watch the military TV there while I did my laundry. After a few months, I finally had enough money saved up to buy a TV set of mine own. It was a pain because to watch German shows, the set had to be set for one type of reception, and to watch the Armed Forces Network, I had to change the setting with the handy switch on the back of the damn set.

For the newspaper, Stars & Stripes was a lifesaver whenever we deployed, both when I was in the Army and when I was in the Navy. On deployment, we got the thing for free. The toilet smear currently occupying Oval Office, of coure, has no idea that newspaper is not a party mouthpiece like China Daily is for the Chinese Communist Party. By law, Stars & Stripes has independent editorial control. And it is available online. I retired from the Navy twenty years ago this past February and still read that online, especially the Sunday comics section. I even use the comics as material for my classes in Beijing from time to time.

Lies upon lies.

DumpsterFire is using the same tactics as during the Repulsican debates; yell loudly and often. Make headlines. Get his name on the front page. Any publicity is good publicity. An example was a recent Hawaiian Star Advertiser issue with a typical “Trump said this” but fact check said otherwise. Not that he was lying, just “off”. Meanwhile, around page 4, Biden and Harris were talking policy and programs for the country.

He tries to take all the air out of the room.

Fuck John Kelly. He’s a known racist and misogynist. And sometimes got to be publicly both at the same time.

He knew exactly what he was getting with Trump and approved of a lot of it. But now, that support is a personal liability, and he’s trying to play it off. Screw him and his legacy. If his comments help put Trump out of our misery, great, but that does not in any way absolve him of his role or responsibility for the very clusterfuck he helped create and nurture.

“Did I say call home? I meant: called her room. Yes, we do stay in separate rooms.“

Now, he’s saying on Twitter, “The United States of America will NOT be cutting funding to
@starsandstripes magazine under my watch. It will continue to be a wonderful source of information to our Great Military!”

As if he’s the only one standing up for Stars & Stripes “magazine”.

C’mon. He’s had three wives. How do you expect him to keep track?

Oh, look, Individual 1 says he isn’t shutting down Stars and Stripes after all. Now he’s the hero.
Pentagon will not cut funding to military's independent newspaper, Trump says?

He should ask one of his mistresses to help out.

He’d need to ask his lawyer to ask his mistress.

The Jesus with the military rifle should have been spelled in the native southern evangelical style:

Cheesus!!

How about this one?

So Trump reverts to his old stratagem of creating a problem, then bragging about solving the problem that he created. Of course, his “solution” consists solely of simply reversing whatever stupid action he took in the first place.

He reminds me of firebug arsonists who set fires so they can call them in and play the hero.

Divide and conquer.

Wouldn’t want any uppity Jews to get notions that “never again” might also apply to black or brown people.

My last deployment was in 2009. At that location, internet access was basically limited to a couple of areas, and we were not permitted personal phones at work. Personal phones are also not permitted in certain secure areas. Stars & Stripes worked everywhere.

“Stupid is as Trump does.”
