The Trump Administration: A Clusterfuck in the Making

[Crotalus]

Wow, Happy, you’ve outdone yourself. That is an awesome post. It makes me want to cry, but it sums up our horrible situation very well.

Can we please stop this hijack and feeding the troll? Pretty please. I come to this thread daily to read about the clusterfuck that is the Trump Administration. It’s like a one stop shop for all things stupid-Trump related.

Heard someone (might have been on Facebook) call it a Trumpster fire. I think that’s awesome. I want to get that made into a t-shirt.

@Happy_Lendervedder

This is what the “moral high ground” of conservatives has become: a little plagiarism is no big deal. A little theft is no big deal. Shutting down the federal government is no big deal. Bald-faced lies are no big deal as long as we get what we want. A little torture is no big deal as long as it gets us what we want. Admission to sexual assault on camera is no big deal. Falsely accusing a former president, on Twitter, of something illegal, with absolutely no evidence, is no big deal. Hiring a foreign agent to head our fucking national security is no big deal. Calling journalists the “enemy of the people” is no big deal. Having ties to the Russians is no big deal. Handing the West Wing over to a couple of conspiracy theorists and white nationalists is no big deal. Appointing people to run federal departments with absolutely zero professional experience or education in those areas is no big deal.

And that’s why the clusterfuck of Trump’s presidency is what it is. The water in the pot just keeps getting warmer and warmer, and the frogs just keep making excuses as to why we just couldn’t *possibly *be getting boiled alive. Oh, but fucksticks like this latest copy-and-paste troll, they’ve got the “moral high ground.” Fuck that. You’re fucking destroying this country, and you’re too stupid to even realize it, or care.

Now can we please put this fucker on ignore and get back to pointing at Trump’s dumbfuckery already?

AMEN!

Agreed. The only thing left out was that not only are the department heads devoid of experience in the respective field, many have actively worked to destroy the department they now head.

Example being Rick “I don’t know what the Department of Energy does but it should be shut down” Perry.

TIME OUT! TIME OUT!

We interrupt this thread with some really-funny-news.

Carry on.

Did that after about 5, maybe 10 posts. Life’s too short to be inundated with their evil stupidity. I wipe better things off the bottom of my shoes before entering my house.

This administration is like KAOS, only far less competent, and the apologists are simply the rank and file KAOS agents, only far less intelligent. Sadly, the opposition hasn’t yet formed even a less competent CONTROL - instead it is still a disjointed, neutered mess. Where are Edward Platt, Barbara Feldon, and Don Adams when you need them?

@Miller

What this tells us, is that you’re willing to plagiarize in situations where there’s no penalty to being caught. And not because you have any understanding of, or concern for, the ethical issues involved in stealing other people’s work.

Unfortunately, this probably bodes well for his career prospects.

Except the claim that Rick Perry didn’t know what the Energy Department did when Trump nominated him to lead it turned out to be false (The Times May Have Launched a False Rumor About Rick Perry.

For what it’s worth, he did not call journalists the enemy of the American people, but the “fake news media” the enemy of the people. As in, outlets that run stories about him that are either grossly exaggerated or false.

That are either grossly exaggerated or false, as by perceived by Trump. Which, apparently, is any media outlet that is not obsequious in its coverage of Trump and his cronies.

He was running for President in 2012 when he said it. Fucking ignorant for a Presidential candidate.
When did he get a clue?

He specifically cited the New York Times, NBC and CNN as “the enemy of the American people”. Those are journalists who had recently published something he didn’t like. That was their crime. This thin-skinned, fact-free, impulsive child didn’t like something he read or saw.

And here’s a quote from from a member of Trump’s Energy Department transition team.

But Michael McKenna, who at one point was part of Trump’s transition team for the Energy Department, told the newspaper Perry is educating himself.

“If you asked him on that first day he said yes, he would have said, ‘I want to be an advocate for energy,’” McKenna said.

“If you asked him now, he’d say, ‘I’m serious about the challenges facing the nuclear complex.’ It’s been a learning curve.”

Trump/Tillerson hollowing out the State Department.

For the sake of Russia?

No one from the state department was involved when the Mexican foreign minister visited Washington DC. In fact, a state department spokesperson said he wasn’t even aware of the visit.

WTF???

That fascist drunken toad, Bannon, sees Tillerson and the State Dept as a threat. That’s fucking what the.

Good idea.

In the process of doing so, I discover that he’s made over 100 posts in 24 hours. Seems a trifle excessive.

That quote was front and center in the Times story ckalli’s spew was angry about, yet conveniently ignored in the hackjob linked.

It’s the usual: noun + verb + Lügenpresse!, with these nitwits. Not an original thought between the lot of 'em.

How does the State Department allow Trump to make money?

Same way Clinton turned it into a cash machine.
