The Trump Administration: A Clusterfuck in the Making

So the Quayle standard is a high bar now? Sheesh.

He said “say”, not “spell” :slight_smile:

Dude’s not even a climate change denier:

Maybe he’s related to the witch from Hansel and Gretel. She didn’t want to kill them, just tan them a little!

Yeah and he didn’t say “count to” either, memes be-damned.

Looks like Willie could use a good meal.

This completely boggled my mind this morning. Not the content, as that’s old news. But the SOURCE-- it’s on FOX News. :eek:
Trump, not the border, is our national emergency
Mary Anne Marsh - FOX News - Monday, February 25, 2019

It goes on in a vein that we’re all familiar with, having said the same thing many times. And BTW, God bless her, because the Trumpniks aren’t going to read it anywhere else. Not that they’ll believe her.

But FOX NEWS?

My question is, how long after writing this was she fired?

When Michael Cohen does his thing in the House tomorrow, well, it should be interesting: Cohen to accuse Trump of criminal conduct in office.

I saw that too, Thelma. I was actually educated by something on Fox for once. I did not realize that declaring an emergency at the border gives the president the power to detain anyone. Anyone. :eek: And deploy troops anywhere. Anywhere. :eek::eek:

It is rather horrifying actually. If Senate Republicans don’t veto this, I may just assume that the civil war is on and that they want it. All because they want no taxes on the wealthy and for those mean educated types to quit treating carbon just like Jews were under the Nazis- remember how Hitler’s men would dig up Jews who had been in the ground for hundreds of millions of years and fling them into the atmosphere? :smack:

Yeah, they want to throw away reason, throw away all democratic protections and turn this place into an oligarchy all right. Thanks, Fox and Limbaugh et al, for miseducating a whole generation of rednecks and dumb shits to get us to this point! :mad:

Ms. Marsh, as the byline below the article states, is a **Democratic **political analyst for FOX News. She also contributes to The Boston Globe, The New York Times, The Washington Post, Politico, AP, The Times of London and USA Today.

My guess is that she’s written her last column for FOX.

Fox publishes stuff like that from time to time, gets the base all riled up. It’s basically clickbait.

In other news, White House press corps booted from Kim Jong Un’s hotel

Even John Roberts of FOX is wondering WTF is going on.

In nearly 10 years covering the @WhiteHouse, having been on Presidential trips to more than 100 countries, I have never seen the White House Press Corps kicked out of our unilateral press/broadcast center by request of a foreign leader.

Marsh has written lots of columns for Fox News, and for the last two years they have largely been heavily critical of the POTUS. That’s not particularly unusual. Publishing anti-GOP editorials on its website allows FN to claim that it’s “fair and balanced.” It’s like MSNBC hiring Pat Buchanan (not that I think Fox and MSNBC are equivalent). When Marsh gets a primetime talking head show, that will be news.

Fox News’s website describes Mary Anne Marsh as a Democrat.

Ivanka, who was handed everything she has, says people don’t want things given to them.

They probably let her office in a hermetically sealed cubicle/bubble with her own coffee pot and separate entrance (and bathroom). Don’t want her contaminating the place.

After reading the replies, I get that she’s the token/figurehead Democrat, but I wonder if they actually expected her to write any meaty, substantial criticism of Der Trumpster?

I wonder if Fox is running a lifeboat drill.

MSNBC — Joe Scarborough used to be a a Republican congressman. Nicolle Wallace held a senoir position in the GWB Administration and worked on Jong McCain’s presidental campaign.

Fox- Shepard Smith is known for pushing back against all the right wing talking points, sometimes with the help of Judge Napolitano.

And these are all people with regular programs, not just contributors.

Congressman Matt Gaetz may have just committed a federal felony by making threats to Michael Cohen the day before his Congressional testimony.
A Republican Congressman Just Threatened Michael Cohen on Twitter. Did He Break the Law? – Mother Jones?

Hey Republicans, take a deep breath, ok? What the fuck are you afraid of? :smiley:

At a guess, having it revealed that they have been financed by Russian money during the last election…

House passes resolution to nullify Trump’s national emergency declaration.
Not a big surprise - now it goes to the Senate.
