The Trump Administration: A Clusterfuck in the Making

This is what Chuck Grassley had to say about that:

@realDonaldTrump when u give ur tv speech Tuesday night deliver it as if u were conversing with Iowans not New Yorkers”.

First, what is he, 12? Does he always tweet like that? Second, someone apparently made him delete the tweet cause he’s a fucking idiot.

The man is 85 years old and has been an Iowa Senator since 1981. He will be up for re-election in 2022. Surely he will retire before he runs again?

I’ve heard speculation that he will use tomorrow’s speech to declare a “National Emergency” with respect to the southern border. What legal stuff does such a declaration provide to the bastard?

Maybe his 12 year old great granddaughter types his tweets for him. “R u sure this 1 is ok w/ u ggpaw?” :smiley:

You would think he would be embarrassed enough to retire (oh, wait, he’s a Republican). I remember some hearing where he didn’t speak until an aide whispered in his ear and then he said something like “I have nothing to say.” Can’t even come up with that by yourself, Chuck?

And as he’s done so SO many times in the past, he will provide no justification whatsoever for such a declaration. He really does think he just has to speak and his word is law, doesn’t he?

I would imagine this will allow him to use “the military version of imminent domain”, thus allowing him to achieve the long-held conservative dream of using military force to seize private property for public projects.

Maybe he’ll announce his resignation, then head down to the border to apply for asylum because he fears for his safety.

And he’ll blame Pelosi, Schumer, and every other Democrat for this (and Obama and Hillary because they left this mess for him to fix). Also, 100% of federal workers support him and the shutdown and not getting paid. He’ll say how the American people all what this, except the unpatriotic Democrats who don’t support him and want open borders and crime and drugs and human trafficking–but they don’t count because they’re not True Americans.

He might even mention how bigly he won over Hillary in the election, because it was all those illegals who crossed the border that cost him the popular vote. I wonder how much of that grudge is driving this in his dementia-onset-affected brain?

That would be the opposite of a National Emergency. Except we get Pence.

All the networks should tell him to go fuck himself.

Fine with me. Maybe we can bring back the gallows.

Good for him!!!

That’s why he’s in love with executive orders. He really does believe that government works the way it did for the Pharaoh in The Ten Commandments (“So shall it be written; so shall it be done.”)

Maybe he’s finally going to produce that birth certificate we’ve heard so much about.

Pharaoh?

I thought that was a thing RuPaul said on Drag Race. :confused:

Just not Obama’s.

They actually filed them at the very end of 2018. The 9 page court filing is at the link.

Trump thinking of a Brick Wall:

Not Schrödinger. The other umlaut guy.

Möbius.

Nope. Still there:

And, yes, he does always tweet like that.

So what do you think the odds are that Trump declares a National Emergency and closes the border tonight, saying he won’t reopen until he gets his money for the wall?

I know that won’t fly legally, but will throw a new wrench into the works for a few days while the adults try to sort out his mess.
