The Trump Administration: A Clusterfuck in the Making

Now sing the “Very Sorry” song. Do it. :mad:

Why not assume Rick meant to post in the Stupid Republican thread?

And that was a mistake, too. I meant to put it in the Stupid Republican Ideas thread. But it was too late to change it.

And prove the highlighted contention.

And why not assume that we already have mods here, and we don’t need any more self-appointed netcops?

It’s outrageous that even ONE legislator had this idea and spoke it out loud. So get off Rick Kitchen’s back.

Although this thread seems to concentrate on laughable blunders, tomorrow the serious shit starts.

Trump is stupid, ignorant, and arrogant, but he is about to get his first win, and it will more than make up for any possible combination of failures he has had, and will continue to have.

Gorsuch will become a Supreme Court Justice, and will exacerbate the pro-corporation slant of the court for the next 40 years or more. If Ginsburg dies or retires in the next three years, which seems likely, then Trump gets another pick (and if the Republicans still control the Senate, you can be sure that they will develop amnesia about their steadfast belief that for the purposes of appointing a Justice, Presidential terms last less than three years). Between Trump’s and W’s abysmal appointments, we’ll have decades of an ultra-conservative court.

Not funny at all.

Well, it appears The Cunt misspoke. Oh yeah, this piece of shit has also backed bills to limit workplace injury claims, to prohibit cities and countries from enacting bans on possession of firearms, and to limit collective bargaining for public employees.

No doubt this “Christian” likes to take it right up the ass.

Don’t you mean “cities and counties”?

Cognitive dissonance at its best.

Well, unless she dies, obviously.

I thought Trumplelthinskin had proved that dead people routinely vote. Or is that just dead Democrats?

It’s not exactly cognitive dissonance. Well, not entirely. It’s emotional investment.

If you’re a Trumpist and he suddenly proposes to hurt you, you aren’t going to give up on him THIS fast. Trumpists are deeply, deeply emotionally invested in him; that’s how he got sixty million people to vote for the him. Emotions aren’t changed this quickly, not in a couple of months. Your first reaction to him stiffing you is going to be “this is bad, but, he’s my guy, he’ll change his mind or something.”

For the voters to turn away from their preferred candidate will take much longer than this, like a couple of years, and they’ll have to be actually, materially damaged by him, not just “this would theoretically hurt me but it hasn’t actually happened yet.”

Yeah, let’s not forget that over 8% of all Germans had to die before they could get rid of Hitler.

She never thought the leopards would eat her face.

This is it exactly. Trump was always going to cut that unspecified government waste being paid out to those unspecified lazy scroungers living off benefits, never the actual programs involving actual poor people and certainly never the ones that affect actual Republicans even though poor Republicans are the main recipients of government support.

One of the other people in the article says that the problem isn’t Trump, it’s the budget which is cutting the wrong things. Mistakes were made, cuts happened, nothing to do with Trump or the Republicans at all.

But maybe they could cut those Obamaphones, as one interviewee suggested. Which aren’t funded via the budget at all.

Wonder how long it’ll take them to figure out that the Cossacks work for the Czar.

What, once it’s outside? Now would that make a lovely addition to any workplace! :smack::smack::smack::smack::smack:

I really tried to muster even the slightest bit of sympathy. Then I read the bolded part, and it was collapsed beneath the horrifying realization that these people will never learn. We’d all be a lot better off if they fucking died. :mad:

What on Earth is an “Obamaphone”?

One of the more stupid false memes that have been whispering around the alt-right crowd for quite some time: The Obama Phone

So many, hard to choose just one. Stupid false memes, I mean.

While the word is not used in this article, it sums up the program that is sometimes referred to as Obamaphones.

ETA: ninja’d by Aspenglow. Brava!
