The Trump Administration: A Clusterfuck in the Making

From the link: “the president’s evangelical advisory committee”

I just don’t have the words to express my outrage that such a committee even exists within the US Government. This is just so fucked up that I can’t believe it’s allowed to be. If you managed to throw out all the other stupid, illegal, immoral, and just plain evil shit that Trump has done, this alone should disqualify him from being President.

Lots of talent but not a lot of soul. Steve Perry has a great set of pipes, though.

Rep. Ted Lieu has won the internet today.

I just became a big fan. So funny.

Ableist.

:flees:

Here is a good song with Schon carrying one of the more memorable bridges from the '80s. Journey sucked because of writing and production. Schon was apparently just along for the ride.

Isn’t he marvelous? I’ve been a big fan for some time. Very squared-away guy, with a wicked sharp sense of humor.

His latest is indeed hilarious. :smiley:

Lieu’s response is probably close to universal–most people who are paying attention will have assumed from the moment the news broke that Bolton was displaying that notepad on purpose. Floating the idea of a hot war, so to speak.

Bolton is a noted lover of hot wars. No doubt he wanted to provide some evidence of public enthusiasm for the idea, to persuade Trump and Jared and Stephen Miller that this is the way to go.

Since we’re not having regular press conferences, let’s play a game. Let’s pretend there is one coming up and you are going to be there and guaranteed to ask a question. What would you ask?

You know you’re not going to get the truth unless you rattle him so much he accidentally slips up or doesn’t really understand the honest answer is incriminating. Do you try to trick him? Do you try to anger him? Embarrass him?

I think I’d go mean and low. “Which of your children do you hope gets the least prison time? Do you want Ivana to take care of Javanka’s kids when they’re in prison or are you going to pull strings so they serve time not-simultaneously?”

I mean, it’d be fun to talk about Toad and spray tans and fake hair and stuff, but I feel going after his kids would get the reaction I’d like to see most.

Yeah, she said first month’s takings. It’s a new year and the first month is nearly over…

“What the fuck is wrong with you people?”

….aaaand that, I suspect, is why I would never cut it as a journalist.

“On December 8, 2018, you publicly stated that there had been ‘no Russian collusion’. Would you be willing to repeat that statement while under oath?”

Nope. Chris Hayes is the second coming of Steve Allen.

When is Operation Venuzvelan Freedom kicking off?

I suspect that committee has more to do with Mike Pence than Donald Trump.

No way. Hayes hasn’t got Allen’s nose, nor that threatening, imposing look. He looks cute, like Captain Nice.
I’ll grant that, as a commentator and wit, he has much in common with the Tonight show creator and reputed writer of a zillion songs, but he still looks like Carter Nash.

I wouldn’t ask him any kind of question that would make him react out of anger. I’d ask him something that would lead him to use his reasoning and logic in front of all America so they can see how truly out-of-touch with reality he is, like “Mr. President, have you ever considered rebuilding the Berlin Wall?”

Like Mr Hayes just fine, only wish he didn’t look like the Pencil Neck Liberal Weenie from Central Casting.

Captain Nice was also John Adams in 1776. Not as good as Paul Giamatti, but he was the picture I had in my head for “John Adams” for years.

He was also Dustin Hoffman’s dad in The Graduate.

And KITT in Knight Rider. I saw 1776 with him as Adams (on July 4th, 1976!) and it was amusing when he became a talking car. I always pictured a very proper elder statesman schooling The Hoff with his superior-sounding “Michael…”.

And Dr. Daniel Craig in St. Elsewhere and the voice of KITT in Knight Rider. Dude’s been around.

Edit: ninja’d on the Knight Rider!
