The Trump Administration: A Clusterfuck in the Making

Marge: Can we get rid of this Ayatollah T-shirt? Khomeini died years ago.
Homer: But, Marge! It works on any Ayatollah: Ayatollah Nakhbadeh, Ayatollah Zahedi…even as we speak, Ayatollah Razmada and his cadre of fanatics are consolidating their power.

Well, I hope they spare the Ayatollah of Rock’nRollah.

There has been too much violence. Too much pain. But there is an honorable compromise. Just walk away. Give us your pump, the oil, the gasoline, and the whole compound, and we’ll spare your lives. Just walk away and we’ll give you a safe passageway in the wastelands. Just walk away and there will be an end to the horror.

What a moron!

“Acting Director”. Because Trump is running the least-staffed, least competent administration in history.

Beaten! :frowning:

Secretary of Agriculture Sonny Perdue, on climate change:
“You know, I think it’s weather patterns, frankly. And you know, and they change, as I said. It rained yesterday, it’s a nice, pretty day today. So the climate does change in short increments and in long increments.”


Individual 1’s choice for UN Secretary is current Ambassador to Canada Kelly Craft. Her husband is coal magnate Joseph Craft. When EPA regulators sent her, the Ambassador, an email about her work on cleaning up the Great Lakes, they got a reply from her husband, apparently on a joint account they share.
Blurred lines: Trump's UN choice and her coal magnate spouse | AP News?

Be still my dog of war. I understand your pain. We’ve all lost someone we love. But we do it my way! We do it my way. Fear is our ally. The gasoline will be ours. Then you shall have your revenge.

Speaking to a group called Latinos for Trump (!), Mike Pence mentioned the Democrats. The crowd started shouting “Traitors!” “Murderers!” and “Lock them in cages!” Pence did nothing to calm the crowd. https://www.mediaite.com/news/latinos-for-trump-crowd-gets-ugly-after-pence-mentions-democrats-traitors-murderers-lock-them-in-the-cages/

We have a President and VP either tolerating or outright encouraging violence against political enemies. We have a state’s Republican party encouraging paramilitaries to attack democrats. We have open white supremacists in various elected and appointed positions of power. And we have concentration camps.

Are we great yet?

I’m terrified and hopeless.

Pence wasn’t just speaking to a Latino group; it’s a group created by Trump/Pence/GOP to make it seem like Trump has Latino support.

Like so much else with these folks, it’s a lie.

I’d love to have a citation in my pocket for that.

There is a “Latinos For Trump” facebook page.

Check outMarco Gutierrez, allegedly the founder of L for T.

I fear for a time in the not too distant future, when GOP apologists are here telling us stuff like:

“Hey, you can’t call these concentration camps! That is a term reserved ONLY for those in WWII Germany! And besides, our centers are not using Zyclon B gas. We use only VX organophosphorus gas, which is much more efficient and humane. And the sub-humans are transported to OUR centers using trucks not trains. So it’s TOTALLY DIFFERENT”

The actual chant from the linked article was “Lock them in cages that they built!” which is significant, because this seems to be the new party line. Based on Trump’s gish-gallop remarks today, the story about the border is:
It’s a humanitarian crisis, now. It’s no longer about MS-13 pouring over the border.
He wants to spend money making it better but those mean old Democrats in Congress won’t do anything.
And the problem was much worse under Obama. All this kids-in-detention stuff started during the Obama Administration, but Trump is working to make it better.
The absolute bald-faced-bullshit is stunning.

He must know that one black guy, always the same one, who’s always right behind Trump at every televised rally.

“Oh, look at my African-American over here. Look at him, are you the greatest?”

If war breaks out with Iran, Trump says we will stay there indefinitely.
