The Trump Administration: A Clusterfuck in the Making

Has anyone asked why Trump doesn’t just send enough to the Go Fund Me site to get things moving? 5B is like couch cushion money to Trump. He is so successful and rich that he could front the money to build the wall and then negotiate payback at some later date, after the wall has proven to be a “yuge” income generator for the USA. I think he’d do it if someone just asked.

I wouldn’t have the faintest how this idea could possibly even start to get off the ground. (My ears are open, though.) I’d wager there wouldn’t be a whole lotta keen enrollees.
Anyhoos, to the little less speculative:

First Mattis, then McGurk, now Retired General Anthony Zinni,the Trump administration’s envoy working to resolve the Gulf region’s diplomatic dispute. He claims there was no bad blood, that he felt he was no longer needed, but in this toxic climate, that sounds more like a slough-off, than anything. Taking the high road, when it’s likely he just simply wants nothing more to do with this ever-evolving (er DE-volving) gong show.

They’re my fries now, bitch.

I think thump is (relatively) cash poor. THAT’S why he won’t release his financials.

Or were you being ironic?

I wasn’t. I think, as billionaires go, he’s broke.

“Or were you being ironic?”

Uh, yeah…maybe a little.
:smiley:

Which ones, Sparks?

To add to upthread TPM article on президент Trump’s hightailing out of today’s chin-wag with Chuck and Nancy, Yamiche Lucindor was told by Pence today that Don came into the room and passed out candy. No raised voices, no slammed tables.
At 5:24.

Thanks.
(was wondering too)

Pence really, truly is a weasel with the weasel words:

So Trumpy *definitely *did the walking into the room and the passing out of candy. But when it comes to the president yelling and pounding his tiny fists on a table? Oh, he “don’t recall.”

I’d quote some Bible passages about lying and welcoming the immigrant, but I think Pence put me on ignore here, so what’s the point.

Chris Evans referred to him recently as an “obsequious little worm”.

Accurate.

So, for Trump, what constitutes a National Emergency is whether he gets what he wants politically:

Trump accidentally admits there’s no actual emergency at the border

Hurricane in Puerto Rico? A National Emergency that Trump doesn’t care about except to resent it.

A woman tells him No today? National Emergency!!!

Recall that during his campaign the concepts of “black”, “urban” and “crime” were always inextricably linked, and he rarely mentioned one without the other two. In his mind black people only live in cities and criminals are always urban blacks.

Chroma-key works well with either, red not so much. I suspect the shift from blue to green was made because blue is much more popular as a clothing color.

Orange make-up stings when you get some in your eye.

Well, those border crossers are carrying e. coli in their gut, aren’t they? Right next to the smallpox viruses.

Just… watch.

Not very informative, and it won’t play on my computer.

Here’s the gist of it:

Trump used to understand that walls don’t work: Donald Trump Wagner College, 2004 - YouTube

:eek:

That Trump con man has better hair than the present-day one.

You remember how Pence had to put his water bottle on the floor after Master did so?

Fast forward to 4:20 or so: After longingly gazing at Master during his comments, he notices Master is now shaking hands. "Oh, I better shake hands. Let me pull off a smooth spin until I find a hand to shake".

Pence is a creepy motherfucker.

They way he looks at Trump makes my skin crawl. There is something deeply wrong with him in an unearthly kind of way.

Pence = Wormtongue

The Dotard explains that he never said what everybody heard him say over and over:
