The Trump Administration: A Clusterfuck in the Making

At least until the next one!

He will pretend he saw a terrible situation and fixed it (never mind he caused it to begin with). And the Nazi scumbags that support him will spread the new lie.

Michael Cohen resigned from an RNC fundraising post.

Wait, what? How the fuck does the RNC keep someone on in such a position after they’ve landed themselves in such deep doo-doo?

Elliott Broidy, who was also a deputy finance chair for the RNC until his resignation in April, ALSO used Cohen as a go-between to pay off a woman he had an affair with. Interesting, huh?

So, Cohen is the Hooker Whisperer? A rare talent I suppose, worth a lot to the right people. Only the best people…

Diplomatic relations at their best. Ian Bremmer of the Eurasia Group reports an amazing G-7 exchange on CBS This Morning.

You’re a bit late with that. :wink:

Trump administration to propose merging the Departments of Education and Labor. I don’t know what to make of that. Seems totally out of left field. Has this been some right wing goal I was unaware of, or is it just Trump’s own scheme to weaken both departments?

It’s to teach the kids how to do manual labor.

I’m fucking winning big. My bank account has exploded since he became president. Another 0.76% added to my bank account. You didn’t win because you are poor. We don’t care about you.

Trolls abound…

Well, that’s a sort of honesty you don’t see every day…

I’m honestly not calling you out on this – if that’s your justification for supporting Trump, I get it. At least there’s logic behind the opinion.

My only quibble - if you can call it that - is that this confirms what I have suspected all along about Trump and his most ardent supporters. I refer to a post I made in the weeks leading up to Trump’s victory, in which I described Trumpian capitalism.

Yes, someone who thinks *0.76% increase *is an explosion of dramatic proportions.

I don’t know if I like his opinion, but I appreciate his integrity in posting.

I think he’s telling the truth. I’ve always maintained that voters vote out of self-interest. Different voters view self-interest differently. Republicans emphasize ‘self’, whereas progressives believe that a rising tide lifts all boats. But it’s self-interest either way.

I know! :smiley: I laughed at that. Clearly this dude wasn’t alive in the days of Jimmy Carter double digit inflation, when a bank account of $100,000 could generate $10K to $12K income per year. Of course, mortgage interest was out of sight, too, but you can’t have everything. Dan Aykroyd did a great Carter sketch on SNL with the theme (said in a Southern drawl), “Inflation Is Our Friend.”

**FavreCo **must be joking. There’s no one who’s naive enough to think that a return of less than one percent is anything to get excited about.

Nice try on their part, but it’s going to take more than that to convince me that Trump was directly involved.

Eliminate the department of education, which has been a long-standing goal of Republicans and conservatives. DeVos was brought in to destroy the Dept of Education. Just as Scott Pruitt was brought in to destroy EPA. Just as Ben Carson was brought in to destroy HUD. But not before they enrich themselves on your taxpayer dime first!

Trump is a wrecking ball. He’s wrecking order, both internationally and domestically.

Through active humanitarian diplomacy, humanitarian assistance, and tireless efforts to end conflicts and achieve durable solutions for persecuted people around the world, we will continue to help the world’s most vulnerable refugees, reflecting the deeply held values of the American people

So when the fuck do we start with the STFUOWWGMOYA? So far, we are just letting shit like this pass. There is nowhere near enough teddy bear cholla to deal with these asses.

Heed the warnings from the man who is living in exile from Vladimir Putin.

It’s worth repeating: Vladimir Putin has as much influence on this administration as our Secretary of State, our Secretary of Defense, and our Secretary of pretty much anything. Do you all not understand this? Do you all not understand how extraordinary this moment in American history is? Do you all not understand how close to destruction American democracy is?
