The Trump Administration: A Clusterfuck in the Making

(wrong thread)

A month ago. :slight_smile:

Huh. Well, maybe I’m so used to them I don’t even notice them. Anyway, wrong thread, so I’ll let it drop.

Sounds plausible. I would assume that as people break the rift, they’ll hire more of their own under them. At my company, when I had a white boss, most of my coworkers were white. Once my boss was Indian, it became all Indian.

I think part of it is just what site they go to, to look for new hires.

Yes, the Americans hire from the US. Other multinationals hire locally, so there is no ceiling to break.

That balloon is hilarious…and the Museum of London wants to have it (and apparently the Sadiq Khan one as well) as it’s become an iconic representation of modern political protest in London.

Because the linked article is a blog post rather than from a newspaper, the author gets away with a spectacular closing line:

My bold.

YES!! That’s a plan I can get behind!

That modifier ain’t just dangling; it’s all up in his face.

Somebody sent me this yesterday, and it completely cracked me up:

A man about town.

Similar take:

PUTTIN ONA RIZZ!

Cute, but what I really want to see is that party trick where Donald talks while Vladimir drinks vodka.

Trump Calls Off Plan to Impose Tariffs on Mexico

Of course he called them off. The important thing is that he stayed in the headlines and got people all hot and bothered. We have a troll for a president.

The question is, what happened inside the tent while the organ grinder’s monkey was distracting us out front?

Looks like this was all a bluff…not surprising.

See? Looks like Republicans CAN bring him to heel if they really want to.

Do y’all think that’s what really happened? Or was he just doing his usual “set a fire then put it out” dance?

It wasn’t a bluff, it was a plan until even the Republicans in Congress were going to vote against him on this issue.

I’ll hedge my bet and say"a bit of both…" :smiley:

Seriously, though, I think the Republican rumblings had at least something to do with his backing off.

Just read the agreement. Mexico will take “unprecedented steps” to stop migration, which means they will deploy the National Guard across the country, they will stop human trafficking, and if any immigrants get across the US border, they will be returned to Mexico to await adjudication.

Well hell, another problem solved. This is almost as good as ending the nuclear threat in North Korea

From bad (quoting from Jan '18) to worse…

House Democrats Plan Event to Examine Donald Trump’s Allegedly Deteriorating Mental Health

Trump says, about the Queen of England, "there are those that say they have never seen the Queen have a better time, a more animated time” than when she was with him.

I can believe it. She has lived over 90 years, and as far as I know, has never hung out with a talking baboon.
