The Trump Administration: A Clusterfuck in the Making

You’re killing me here.

I read the words “Crackpot Dome” several times today and I swooned. Alas, I don’t think it’s quite known enough to catch on.

is killing you softly so wrong?

Wall in Colorado? To keep out the New Mexicans?

Lawrence O’Donnell made a good series of points:

  1. This was planned
  2. Trump knew
  3. Trump is keeping watch as to who is participating… and not
  4. To Trump: participation = support for Trump
  5. Trump also has a habit of attacking those who don’t “support” him
  6. DESPITE this, over 170 Republicans decided, “naw, brah, I’m good.”

Also, he just mentioned that the Republicans who did have access to Taylor’s testimony have had 24 hours to find something they could leak and spin… and they haven’t.

Well, this is concerning if true - trump putting political appointees in charge of Presidential Records Act compliance?

So maybe he will be able to order whatever he wants to be erased off that NICE server.

The story is originally from Axios, which I have not checked into very much yet as to the veracity of their stories.

Closeish, yes. Two blocks away, though? That doesn’t tend to be considered primo real estate.

Man, that’s gonna be a gilded bitch for flight plans.

To keep out the [del]New[/del] Mexicans?

We are now the 49 States of America.

I also like the term “Ukraine Clown Posse”.

Remember way back when the Republican platform was being written, and it had a thing in it about supporting Ukraine against Russia? And it disappeared, poof gone! Nobody’s fingerprints, nobody did it, it just happened. I remember Rachel “Mad Dog” Maddow reporting on it with that cute face she wears when talking about something that’s probably not real important but still rings the WTF? bell.

The other thing I remember was the Pubbie convention, when Jar-Jar Binks gave the speech nominating Trump.

As I understand it, not only did Obama know about the illegal gun sales, but he also personally ordered the execution of the Border Patrol Agents.

Either that or the orange idiot is planning to take the credit for the Rocky Mountains.

No, no, no. You guys have it all wrong. Follow the logic! It makes perfect sense if you think like the twit-in-chief does.

  1. Announce that you will build a border wall between the US and Mexico.
  2. Announce that Mexico will pay for it.
  3. Realize that you get to tax people in New Mexico.
  4. Realize that hey, it has Mexico right there in the name.
  5. Put some of that tax income towards building the wall.
  6. There you have it; Mexicans paid for the wall!

You know, I’ve never thought about that. You’ve got your Illinoisans, your Californians…
Do people in New Mexico call themselves New Mexicans?

In case you’re serious, yes: List of demonyms for US states and territories - Wikipedia

I wonder if racists from New Mexico have a problem with that. Like The Fonz trying to say “sorry”. “New Miexi-ca-ca-ca…”

As in many scandals, the bigger issue is the cover-up. Congress, at the urging of the right-wing media fever swamp, subpoenaed the Obama administration for records related to FnF, and the administration said “no,” claiming executive privilege. It took years for that to get through the courts, and IIRC it was in Congress’s favor, but it was after Obama was out of office.

It was in my opinion an ill-advised program, made slightly scandalous by the refusal to cooperate with Congress. And yes, it seems quaint nowadays.

Nah, haven’t you guys studied any military history at all ? You build the first wall, then when the Migrant Invasion™ manages to breach it you retreat to the next wall and so on. The last wall is around Trump tower. Ukraine pays for that one.

Can’t we make that the first one, right after he skulks in?

Or just wait until he goes to the potty for some “executive time” and barricade the door so he can’t get out?
