The Trump Administration: A Clusterfuck in the Making

Jules: You remember Antoine Roccamora, half black, half Samoan, used to call him Tony Rocky Horror?

Vincent: Yeah, maybe. Fat, right?

Jules: I wouldn’t go so far as to call the brother fat, I mean he got a weight problem. What’s the n***** gonna do? He’s Samoan

Nah, Steve McQueen crashed into barbed wire.

No, I’m XXL. Samoans are more like XXXXL.

This whole barbed/concertina wire is pure theater. The few remaining migrants who might arrive at the border in a few weeks are simply going to present themselves at a border crossing and request asylum. AS THEY HAVE DONE EVERY TIME IN THE PAST!

The shitgibbon and his enablers are promoting a vision of WWII assaults with people throwing their bodies across the wire and the children running over their backs to freedom. While carrying suicide bombs, infectious diseases, Korans, drugs, and lest we forget, ROCKS:eek:

Another hundred million dollars down the drain while Mattis and Kelly delude themselves that they’re keeping the Big Baby in check.

And which, of course, is perfectly legal.

They’ve entered the water! They’re swimming straight for the US coast! They’ll be here any minute! VOTE GOP–it’s your only protection!!!11!!!1

It’s legal in the eyes of the judiciary; it won’t be legal in the eyes of Trump’s administration. I suspect that legal asylum seekers will be treated as if they were illegally crossing and incarcerated. This president and his many, many enablers are making it clear that they don’t give a shit about the rule of law. This country is slipping ever closer into tyranny.

Great title for an article:

Trump Accuses Oprah of Burning Tapes That Don’t Exist to Hide Interview That Never Happened

In short, Trump claims he was on Oprah’s show during the last week it was on (he wasn’t), and that they may have burned the fictional tapes.

What “suspect”? It’s what this administration has been doing! They made it unacceptable to request asylum at the points of entry, then they removed an existing policy by which it was ok to request asylum after entering the country (which could even have been done legally, student visas and day shopping trips and tourism are legal!), so when people did ask for asylum, the grown-ups got put in a warehouse and the kids in a cage, the first to wait for deportation and the second for adoption.

The current administration has recovered every knowin instance of government-stolen children and made it televised policy.

Yep, they’re normalizing government thuggery, in violation of standing law.

We are frogs getting boiled slowly. But they’re starting to turn up the heat now. Most people just don’t seem to understand how this will impact them eventually. Once the rule of law gets chipped away, that affects everyone, whether you’re a middle class white guy in the suburbs or a migrant asylum seeker at the border.

What is wrong with you? Facts have nothing to do with this discussion! :smiley:

No, no, no. The image they have is of pregnant women popping the baby out the instant she gets across the border.

I think they just want to delude the American people of that and, sadly, plenty of the American people seem to buy it.

It has been widely reported that Trump will deem any rocks thrown these refugees as projectiles from a firearm. What the Fake News media is NOT reporting is that he is doing the same for paper and scissors.

Your kids are playin that game at their peril, just sayin’.

I’d rather have the Kingpin. He’s smarter, his word means something, and there are things even he WON’T do.

No he does NOT. Unless the Repug toadies in Congress let him.

I thought the army couldn’t be used domestically. Not sure where I got that idea.

Posse Comitatus Act covers the use of the Army and Air Force for situations and emergencies within US Borders.

Here is the Wiki: Posse Comitatus Act.

Emergencies from natural disasters, major riots, enforcement of Federal edicts like desegregation are okay. Ordinary police work is generally a no-no.

The headline I’ve been longing to see. Thank you Atlantic. For God’s sake, time to take off the gloves and call it what it is.

The President’s Lies

As unbelievable as it is that the so-called president of the United States would spout this bullshit, it is even more insane that so many people actually buy it. And I personally know some of them. :smack: What the fuck is wrong with them? “Take away your health benefits and give them to illegal aliens”?? Are you shitting me?

And if this man (so-called) were running for re-election tomorrow, I firmly believe he would get re-elected, and I also believe he will get re-elected in 2020. There’s just too much stupid around.

It’s a trap!

Sometimes I think Trump sprinkles these sorts of inconsequential lies into his speeches as test cases just to see how far he can go and still have people believe him.

“Tapes”. What millennium is he living in?

George Costanza “It’s not a lie if YOU believe it”.

Sometimes I wonder if he’s gone so round the bend that he himself believes whatever spills out of his mouth. Maybe he dreams this shit and thinks it’s true.
