The Trump Administration: A Clusterfuck in the Making

That’s his “Going to a rally!” pose. The only time he ever gets off a plane in the US he’s either going to a rally or going on vacation…and he didn’t see any golf carts.

Over Macho Grande?

He’ll never get over Macho Grande.

This may be the wrong thread, but a rare recording of JFK shows him behaving much like DJT.

What was that “thing” recently?

Don’t believe all the things you will be seeing and hearing because fake news?

Something like that.

“Just remember what you’re seeing & what you’re reading is not what’s happening” – Trump during VFW Natl Convention speech https://www.buzzfeednews.com/article/mbvd/trump-veterans-seeing-reading-not-real-george-orwell-1984

“DON’T BELIEVE THE CRAP YOU HEAR FROM FAKE NEWS” https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qE2s93Ze4CY

Right, if you watch the fake news then they won’t tell you that the Trump Administration response to Hurricane Maria in Puerto Rico was an incredible unsung success. One of the best hurricane responses ever, in fact.

Chris Murphy, Senate candidate from Connecticut tweeted

Brutal! Send him an invitation, I like his style.

I am extremely concerned over what the facts are which is why I want everything declassified and everything released. However, its become clear the facts are not what the leaks by the FBI say they are, nevermind the leaks are unethical and illegal and violate 4th amendment rights. They were done to help spark a special prosecutor (insurance policy) to keep the President in check, comb through his financial dealings going back decades because we all know there is a there, there.

But look, I get it, Russia and the election is like 9/11. I’m sorry for your loss. God Bless Hillary and fuck the 4th amendment.

Shit, man, you’re not even wrong!

The fourth amendment wasn’t abused any more in this instance than it is 100 times a day in cases involving drug dealing or bank fraud. (If you means the FISA warrant. If you actually mean “leaks,” then I have no idea what you’re talking about.)

As for “our loss,” it’s not Hillary. No one is crying that Hillary didn’t win. We’re upset that Trump did, and what that means for our country. And the world.

Galumphing along in their quest to make this planet somehow prolapse, the Environmental Potato Agency has been listening to too much Pat Methane-y lately.
Not too surprised if this administration already set a record for undoing the most policies of a previous president.

And why not give that atrazine stuff a break too.

This is just my anecdote, but there are Trump supporters who don’t know this. I was arguing on Facebook with multiple Trumpsters on Trump’s first day in office when he was bragging about himself and the inauguration in front of the CIA’s Memorial Wall.

I said I thought it disrespectful and had read that CIA officials thought so, too.

“Oh, yeah”, one supporter replied, “then why were all those people there cheering for him?”

Ummm…Trump brought those people with him to cheer.

Oh, is the FBI leaking information? That’s alarming! Does anyone have a credible source of news where I could read up on that? Golly. They sure don’t seem to make FBIs like they used to!

Standard right-wing propaganda practice these days: start with a false statement (“the FBI is leaking information”) then extrapolate and spin from that (“the FBI is leaking false information”) and again (“the FBI is leaking false information illegally and unconstitutionally”) and again (“The FBI is leaking false information illegally and unconstitutionally as part of a conspiracy with the Special Prosecutor to keep the President in check”) and eventually wrap up with a conclusion that owes nothing to reality (“Therefore this is all a witch hunt and there is no actual evidence of wrongdoing”). It’s a tried-and-true method; it’s how we got eight Benghazi investigations, after all. Never mind that it is blatantly false, goes against the actual facts of the matter and is internally contradictory (for example, if the FBI is leaking false information, how can it be a 4th Amendment violation?) - it’s a good story that people want to believe and reality (and the country) be damned.

Note two thump rules from post #25275 above:

I, for one, certainly feel more informed after watching Trump warn about Florence… Did you know Mother Nature is bad?

Do yourselves a favor and don’t read the comments…

Those Russian bots are good!

J/k. I know those are real thumpists. Sigh.

Of course this needs to be the biggest and worst storm ever, because everything is the biggest and bestest when it happens to Trump.

Okay, when I said “water wet” above it was intended to be a hyperbolic statement of the blatantly obvious, not a recommendation for a Presidential talking point.

On the plus side, that much is at least a truthful statement so we have to give him credit for that.
