The Trump Administration: A Clusterfuck in the Making

It’s already happening. Trump got his crowd so riled up in El Paso some asshat attacked a cameraman.

You mean like the assault on the BBC cameraman? Or worse?

I will actually agree with President CFSG on one point: SNL’s Trump bits with Alec Baldwin ARE pretty tired. What makes Trump’s comment inadvertently hilarious is that last night Baldwin pretty much just read bits of Trump’s National Emergency Announcement verbatim; with little adornment. What President CFSG seems to be complaining about is his own presentation.

Agreed. They did the same with Sarah Palin.

Not too funn this time, but comedy is hit or miss.

I thought Alec should’ve retired his Trump back in January, 2017. It has gone on too long and we… and SNL… need a fresh take.

Baldwin’s Trump routine could be refreshed with a dose of insanity. I say biring back Martin Short to play Pelosi, and let them fight.

I wonder what Individual 1’s definition of the word “collusion” is, and how it applies to Saturday Night Live.

It means exactly what Induhvidual-1 intends it to mean at the time he utters it, which has no relation to its past or future meanings. In this case, it probably means “not sufficiently complimentary to me.”

The more accurate the reflection, the more the mirror insults.

Some excerpts from the Post’s review of McCabe’s book:

Andrew McCabe’s disturbing account of working for Sessions and Trump

[my bold]

Yes, because Putin is trustworthy and has America’s best interest at heart. The Russian internet trolls were the best investment Vlad ever made.

The reviewer does talk about McCabe’s baggage and the book’s shortcomings and how McCabe has an ax to grind.

IANAL lawyer, nor a supporter of Trump, the Wall, or this emergency. But this article makes enough sense to scare me. The gist seems to be that with National Emergencies Act of 1976 Congress basically ceded a lot of its power to the Executive branch. There is apparently no standard for what is meant by ‘emergency’ other than ‘the President says so’. And apparently he can veto Congress’s resolution saying ‘is not’ - so what can be done?

Oh, and the author also thinks that the courts will be loathe to save Congress from itself, which is probably also true.

As I recall, the courts were pretty quick to step in when Congress tried to give Bill Clinton a line item veto over appropriations. Would that be an applicable precedent here?

Abe’s nomination of Individual 1 for the Nobel Prize occurred because the White House asked him to do so.

I’m agreeing with Ann Coulter on something; I feel uncomfortable and need to wash my hands.

Yep. That’s what I’m gonna do. Go down to the fillin’ station, get a bottle of pop, and go over to Thelma Lou’s and watch a little TV.

Or was it go home and take a nap and go over to Thelma Lou’s?

ETA it was a nap. Can 't find the video

The first one is right at the beginning, the 2nd near the end

That bit of dialogue is from my favorite episode of Andy Griffith, “Man in a Hurry.” A big city businessman is passing through Mayberry on a Sunday, and his car breaks down. He’s has no choice but to sit there all day cooling his heels while Andy and the gang go slowly about the Lord’s Day’s business, which is to say not much of anything. At first the stranger bristles and chafes at the leisurely pace, but by the end of the show he yields to Mayberry’s spell and after Aunt Bee’s Sunday sinner, he sits on Andy’s front porch peeling an apple in one strip while Andy strums his guitar and sings, “Little Old Church in the Vale.” Eventually the stranger dozes off. I adore that episode. Thank you for reminding me of it.

The whole episode is well worth watching. Especially on a Sunday. :wink:

Carry on. :slight_smile:

my bold.

Ah, what a difference a letter makes. :slight_smile:

Now I want that to be my screen name.

Tragicomical?

EEK!!

My face is really red… :stuck_out_tongue:
