The Trump Administration: A Clusterfuck in the Making

[elucidator]

That crowd was whiter than the Mormon Tabernacle Choir on a field trip to Antarctica. When the camera was centered on Himself, you could see two black people, one to his right, one to his left. One enthusiastic, one just a lump. But when the camera moved around the crowd, nada. Zero, zilch, zip.

The lies have changed a little. Not the volume, but the diversity, he jumped from lie to lie like a hyperactive jumping bean. Mexico loves him! (No further word on they’re gonna pay for the Wall.)

We are exporting huge amounts of clean coal, along with unicorn poop! The dreadful takeover of America’s rural communities by MS-13 is being reversed! He bitch slapped Europe and NATO, now they are standing on line to slobber his knob! The lies rolled out of his Big Mac-hole like a barrel of marbles emptied at the top of a ski jump.

I know why, because they weren’t working. He dropped the Pelosi bomb, and paused for the overwhelming crowd response. A desultory, listless set of boos, OK, Maxine Waters. Pause, a bit better, but fuck NATO, amIrite? Shout outs to everybody in America with a uniform and a gun, yay!

Yusta be, the crowd would come crashing over him in waves of wild enthusiasm, he was forced to stop speaking and just absorb the adoration, six, seven, ten times per speech. That’s why he was jumping from lie to lie, looking for one that still had the Power. OK, not that one, next!

They came for the red meat, he served veggie burgers.

“You can blow up a pipeline, you can blow up the windmills. You know, the windmills, boom, boom, boom [mimicking windmill sound] bing [mimes shooting large gun], that’s the end of that one. If the birds don’t kill it first.

Jesus. Has anyone ever blown up a windmill? Is that the threat that keeps him up at night?

That’s the guy that Republicans trust with the launch codes.

It occurs to me that having a Democratic majority in the House might serve thump’s personal, if not the party, agenda. That way, he won’t have to do any Presidentin’ at all. He can just run around the country holding rallies where he rants about how the Dems are obstructing him. In between golf weekends, of course.

That’s all he does now anyway. The only difference is that Democrats don’t actually have a majority, but that doesn’t stop him from accusing them of obstruction.

Isn’t it just as easy to bomb a coal mine as it is to bomb a windmill?

Ok, that was cool.

He’s the one who wants to blow up windmills. Apparently he bought a golf course that now has wind turbines in its view and he hates them.

The wind farm Donald Trump tried to block is now complete

My thoughts exactly. And while the Republicans are making a big deal about this so-called unwritten 60 day rule, I’m not sure it applies. Because Trump isn’t up for re-election this year. Maybe he should hold off on indictments against any congressperson that is up for re-election.

Trump has ignored a bunch of unwritten rules. To hell with him. Mueller needs to do what ever he can to get him out as soon as he can.

Don’t care if Republicans bitch and moan, they brought this on themselves. I hope it tears the entire party down and we can properly just ignore them. They need to re-build their entire party from the ground up. This means getting rid of probably half of them. Still, I’ll never vote red again.

Steven Tyler’s attorney has sent Trump a cease and desist letter ordering him to stop using Aerosmith songs at his rallies.

Or the rail line that transports the coal? Or the power plant that burns it?

[Rick_Kitchen]

Cohen’s lawyer, Lanny Davis, is making the talk show circuit today saying that Cohen is going to be talking to Mueller and that he would not ask for or accept a pardon from Trump.

Michael Cohen would not accept and does not want a pardon from President...

Maybe the tweet was mean to be metaphorical, suggesting liberals are tilting at windmills.

Or not…

Really, what the country needs is for the Republicans to go the way of the Federalists (after they got caught playing footsie with a foreign foe) and for a new Third-Wayer vs Progressive two-party split to arise out of the Democratic factions. Once the Overton Window has been moved far enough to the left that it no longer overlooks a pestilential open sewer, the country can pick itself up and start moving forward again.

You think Trump has read Don Quixote? Or even seen Man of La Mancha?

How, exactly, is coal mined?

The closest comparison is probably to the Know Nothings.

It was primarily anti-Catholic, xenophobic, and hostile to immigration, starting originally as a secret society… Adherents to the movement were to reply “I know nothing” when asked about its specifics by outsiders, thus providing the group with its common name.

I’d recommend colorful bouncy balls…
