The Trump Administration: A Clusterfuck in the Making

What have we come to as a country? Ripping a child away from her mother while she is breastfeeding? How can this be excused?

You are correct. Thanks for catching that. It illustrates my Euro bias.

Something about Hillary’s emails.

All kidding aside, 40 to 50% of this county is deplorable. I don’t understand it.

Hey, they’re just doing as they’re told so they can keep their job… right?

I’m already starting to ask myself: are we the baddies? And it’s embarrassing and frightening to me that it’s now a question I really have and not something just out of a dystopian future story.

I mean, do good people separate children from their parents like this?

I’m a month late with this one, just wanted to say at the time my ignorance of Kim Kardashian’s itinerary caused me to think this was an unadulterated threadshit on the part of a moderator here. https://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=854321

Nope. Still the same. And the family is informed afterwards with an inquiry as to what to do with the remains. See the Wiki.

Chalk up yet another one for Milgram.

That was awesome, thanks!

I fear that most of us would be savages if given a little encouragement. We Americans like to think we’re better than the Germans who enabled the Holocaust, or the Rwandans who hacked their neighbors to death. Sadly, I have to conclude that we’re not.

Hey, Acosta should consider himself fortunate they’re not sending someone to shoot him on the street.

Yet.

That’s because Rick Perry has been tasked with finding out where they keep the polonium, and he hasn’t been heard from for three weeks.

He’s lost in the gardens, looking for a pretty flower.

Has he tried the polo grounds?

They gave Perry a list of three people who needed to be shot. Acosta was the third, and, well, you know how Perry is with long lists.

It was a trick. Perry was second on the list.

Speaking of, and being tangentially related to horses… am I the only person who didn’t read this joke until this afternoon, which completely cracked me up?

Justify won the Belmont Stakes, becoming the 13th triple Crown winner, and turned down an invitation to the White House. Asked why, the winner neighed, “If I wanted to see a horse’s ass, I would’ve finished second."

I guess Acosta should avoid Fifth Avenue.

Looks like Chump is the US version of Neville Chamberlain.

Fox News says criticizing Kim Jong Un is the same as criticizing Trump.

Unless Fox News is doing video game playthroughs, I suspect that’s the wrong link.

I don’t understand Trump’s insistence on protecting ZTE, unless it’s just to show China that he’s not intentionally driving them into the ground. IIRC, the company’s financial problems predated Trump and was the result of the restrictions imposed already. The conspiracy theorist wonders if there’s something personally in it for Trump, like a hotel project somewhere in Hainan.
