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

It’s also enabled in a more general sense when one explicit justification for allowing heavily armed private citizens is to resist government tyranny, and when people don’t seem to grasp that this bizarre notion is fundamentally at odds with democracy.

Yeah, this. Any time I’ve been given steroids, I’ve been advised to take them until they were gone. Kinda like a z-pack, where the dosage is reduced steadily.

Yep, that’s my state :roll_eyes:

I like my state but it’s certainly had its share of nutty militia types for a long time. Terry Nichols, Tim McVeigh’s accomplice in the Oklahoma City bombing, was from Michigan. And then trump goes and throws high-octane gasoline on the bonfire by tweeting fun stuff like “LIBERATE MICHIGAN!” last April.

It’s part of the hour long interview with Fox Business. I don’t recommend watching that glurge for fear of brain damage, but Trump says he’s no longer taking the Regeneron therapy or Remdesivir (of course not - he did the full course of both) but still taking steroids, which makes sense as those are typically multi-day courses. He shouldn’t have been released from the hospital in the first place, but given that he was, he still needs to take the meds.

Conley, for his part, put out a memo yesterday saying Trump had been symptom free for a day. He hasn’t gone public with any real details of his current treatment.

It’s quite possible (or even likely) that one or both are lying, so take that as you will.

There is this thing called “stochastic terrorism”, in which a prominent persons suggests a “corrective” action (“somebody ought to kill that guy”) and then expresses dismay when someone actually does it (“it wasn’t my fault!”). ShitGibbon is a habitual stochastic terrorist.

Either way Trump has a long history of refusing to condemn white supremacists. So I expect a lot of governors (mostly Democrats but I suspect a couple Republicans) may be increasing their security teams…

Individual 1 called Kamala Harris a monster who will probably be President two months after Biden’s inauguration. Kind of hinting that he expects her to take Biden out.

The administration wants to bribe seniors with a $200 drug card. It will cost $8 billion to implement and send out, and it’s expected that the cards will have Individual 1’s name on them,

When I listen to right wingers these days, I’m hearing a lot of “Why isn’t the main steam media talking about the fact that Harris will be president soon? Who’s going to be be in her cabinet? They’re not even asking that question!”

Wait? He got Covid from the Chinese? I though the Dems gave it to him? Or it was a gift from God, you know, God’s hand to his tiny fingers hand? And also the Gold Star families gave it to him? So hard to keep up.

Typical. He couldn’t pass the buck so now he wants taxpayers to pay.

On top of all that, he got it deliberately. Presumably to demonstrate how easily it can be defeated* — so there’s nothing to be afraid of, dump your masks, gather in large groups, “open up” the economy, &c &c &c.

* At least if one is a “perfect physical specimen.”

Why is this video he released pretty clearly in front of a green screen?

My god, he’s a parody of himself.

C’mon – you want a man in his condition* to walk that far away from the White House? he might need air halfway there.

*even a Perfect Physical Specimen

Another 'BFT event.

More of this, please!

And why is he playing an invisible accordion?

I didn’t get past nobody knows he’s a senior and maybe you don’t have to tell 'em.

Then I curled up into a fetal position at the realization the DONALD FUCKING TRUMP IS OUR PRESIDENT!!! What have we wrought, ferfuckssakes?

James Corden also claims that in the video he’s “extra orange”

This is the same Elliott Broidy that used to be deputy finance chair of the RNC, yes? The one that was one of three clients of Michael Cohen, the other two being Donald Trump and Sean Hannity?

“Everybody else I know gets indicted” indeed.
