Too late to edit: there’s a reason Ben Wittes described Travel Ban I as “malevolence tempered by incompetence,” not the other way around. I think JohnT’s cautionary note is really important: while Trump may be ridiculous, we can’t forget, as we laugh at him tripping over his own dick, that he is still fucking shit up - or trying to.
So that stubble of Bannon’s is the result of trying to shave off his ever-regenerating face tentacles?
Re: Trump’s budget.
Wasn’t Trump’s whole anti-NATO thing argument that he would force Europe and other US allies should start picking up the slack with regard to military spending, so that we wouldn’t have to spend so much? If so why is he expanding government military spending?
Rich friends in the military industrial complex want payback for campaign contributions.
There is something … wet about the man, right?
I personally would love to see him explode when pierced by the prow of a steamship. Though I fear how he’d re-form.
What I’d like to know is what the strategic objective is. What does he want us to be able to do that we can’t do already? Most of the constraints on US use of military force are political. It’s not military power that’s preventing us from taking action, especially now that we’re best pals with Russia.
It’ll pay for itself when US foreign policy moves to the protection-racket model?
Sean Spicer: “The President is working hand in glove with Paul Ryan.”
Trump taps Boeing exec for Pentagon deputy post.
Um, isn’t Boeing a major defense contractor who supplies the military with many big-ticket items, including the F/A-18 Super Hornet, Apache helicopter gunships and other toys?
Which is the hand and which is the glove?
In other words: “Who’s the puppet?”
I’m envisioning them yelling “You’re the puppet!” at each other, over and over and over. An Ourobouros of Malevolent Derp.
A mosque outside of Aleppo, Syria was bombed today during prayers. Estimates of between 40 and 300 people have been killed. Nobody has taken responsibility for the attack, but observers claim that shards of American missile pieces have been found in the ruins.

At this point, I wouldn’t be surprised if they’re both puppets and Putin is the puppeteer.
Miller seems like someone who has insect wings.
Hey Kids! If you want to see the type of toys Trump has to play with, look here for never before seen Looney Tunes provided by Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory.
The story is here. Great opening pic of Trump (he’s the one in short pants) and his cabinet. Priceless.
Who slipped truth serum into his hip flask?
EPA reversing its stance on Great Lakes pollution, wants to eliminate funding for the Restoration Initiative and make states pay for everything.
If looks could kill, Angela Merkel would have just taken care of Trump.
