The Trump Administration: A Clusterfuck in the Making

Oh yes they have.

Today is Putin’s birthday and since Trump can’t give him Ukraine, he apparently gifted him northern Syria.

This for the win. Probably really happened. But I guess there’s nothing to be done about it! If a republican is president, it’s okay! /sarcasm. You’d never have heard the end of it if Obama had abandoned the Kurds. Republicans care about allies or our own military only when there is a political gain to make from crowing about it a la Benghazi.

I posted somewhere (I’ve lost track) that if/when Former President Trump* is asked/ordered/driven to vacate the WH, hundreds of his gun-toting supporters will swarm to Washington to fight for him. It will ultimately be a futile, impotent, pathetic, humiliating gesture that further splinters this already-fragmented country.
Thanks to those who followed my link to the sad and alarming story about why rural voters will not abandon DJT and why Democrats’ well-meaning attempts and promises to help this group are greeted with scorn and disdain. The Dems are SO barking up the wrong tree with rural, uneducated voters. These people are the bonafide “Don’t Tread on Me” “Come and Take It!” group. I can’t think of any way that the Democrats can reach them. They love Donald because he is breaking all the china in the shop, which is what they would like to do. He says and does what they’re thinking and wishing they could say/do so someone will listen! Well, the world is listening to Donald! So there!

I mean, why should a librarian have to have a 4-year degree (or more)? (For that matter, why should anyone?) A sixth-grader can understand the Dewey Decimal system, amirite? Any why pay that librarian $42K per year? If she wants to make that kind of bucks, she can move to the Big City! :smack:

Trump is claiming executive privilege. How does that cover tax returns from before he was elected?

What I took from that article was a bedrock belief that there’s not enough to go around. That fundamentally the economy is zero sum and you absolutely have to scrimp, save and take from others. There’s no understanding of just how much wealth exists, that the economy isn’t zero sum and that if they’d just unclench for a moment they might notice.

Or after he was elected for that matter. As I understand it, executive privilege really only covers policy deliberations of the white house. Now while it is certainly possible, maybe even likely, that there is a direct relationship between Trump’s policy decisions and his personal wealth, I don’t think that that connection is something that he would want to assert.

Does that mean Bill Clinton is eligible for a third term?

That was my take, and that’s how I responded to the FB post that led me to the article.

However, no. Only Republicans who are impeached but not convicted are eligible for a third term.

EXCLUSIVE: ‘Work with us in Syria or get out of the way,’ Erdogan told Trump: Non-committal on the phone, the US president surprised even Turkish officials with his public support for Ankara’s assault into Kurdish-held territory

Individual 1 says Pelosi and Schumer have committed treason and should be impeached.

Looks like Graham is just now realizing that honor is a thing that can be stained. Uh Lindsay, I’m afraid I have some bad news…

For that, and other crazy naive contradictions, he deserves his already assigned Lindsey Graham Cracker nickname.

But I’m sure it will shock everyone who’s really to blame, according to Graham:

Spittle flecked fuck-twittery.

Dunno if this is even really news

Evidence of his drug abuse was lying in plain sight.

sniff sniff snorff sniffffffff

Giuliani Watch:

Kyle Cheney, Politico

“Obama-libertarian” is an epithet I didn’t expect from a Republican. I guess Obama is one of them dangerous libertarian socialists.

I’ve never really read up on the drug use allegations. That video brings up some interesting points. Hmmm.

OMG! Is God getting ready to dump Former President Trump*??

Pat Robertson: Trump ‘in danger of losing the mandate of heaven’

Oh no!! :eek: Pat is God’s mouthpiece on earth, amirite?
