The Trump Administration: A Clusterfuck in the Making

Ouch.

Well done, Sir!

I’m sure that hearing whatever the EN-to-FR manages to come up with for Trump’s gobbledygook would be quite interesting. That job should come with hazard pay and access to psychological and psychiatric support.

According to her PR department, Melania also holds an advanced degree in hydraulic engineering, plays the cello like Pablo Casals, and was the Ljubljana speed-chess champion for four years running. She just found hooking in New York to be more lucrative.

…now I feel all guilty, because you just know the Vulgarian gave her a beating after the kissy-pics with Trudeau went viral. Or more likely hired someone younger and stronger with normal-sized hands to give her a beating. “Don’t bruise the face.”

China still unaware of any calls with Trump, incoming or outgoing.

To be fair, when he talked about Melania he was probably thinking about Ivanka. (And not for the first time, I’m sure.)

That’s what she said.

Jill: You’re not a vegetarian!

Jane: I’m a bi-vegetarian!

Jill: What? That doesn’t exist! It’s not possible!

Jane: I’m an emotional vegetarian, Jill. I know a lot of vegetarians and we tend to like the same films.

Are we sure that was a translation device? She could have been listening to a podcast or something…

Probably, when he mentions “beautiful letters,” he’s talking about the calligraphy.

Or the cancellations on the postage stamps. Maybe the stamps themselves.

I can’t imagine her being interested in anything except staring vapidly into nothingness for countless hours, thinking about her closet.

I don’t listen to podcasts, but I’d not be surprised to learn that podcasts about closets are a thing.

Melania has claimed to speak a lot of languages, but there’s not much evidence of it. A year or so ago she met with some Italian schoolchildren and couldn’t even say “good morning” properly. And the rest of the meeting was through a translator. Yes, she claims to be fluent in Italian.

Well, truthfully, North Korea DOES have an Individual 1 stamp …

The Queen complained to the Prime Minister of Australia that Individual 1 ruined the lawn at Buckingham Palace.

A Palestinian student coming to the United States to attend Harvard was stopped at Boston airport and held for hours while ICE looked through his phone and laptop. When they found that some of the people on his contacts list had made anti-US posts (he himself had not), they revoked his visa and deported him.

I thought this was interesting. Looks like the administration’s effort to pollute the environment in every way bit corn farmers in the butt (although I’ve heard that ethanol in fuel and the extra corn growing associated with it are also bad for the environment).

I love that episode!

The attorney general booked a holiday party to the tune of 30k. At Trump’s hotel.

Not my favourite episode (that would be ‘Sex, Death and Nudity’, which has the Giggle Loop and ‘Stop playing Reservoir Dogs!’), but I love that bit of dialogue. It seems to encapsulate some people’s ‘thinking’.

We knew it was bound to happen eventually: germs have become resistant to sunlight.
