The Trump Administration: A Clusterfuck in the Making

The other attractive aspect to North Korea is the lack of an extradition treaty.

Perhaps he’s contemplating an “assistance package” from the US government to revitalize the flagging North Korean tourist industry? Wouldn’t surprise me one bit.

Because there was so much other crap going on this week - I missed this: HUD decided not to distribute relief funds to Puerto Rico. They did what they were supposed to do with the other 17 states that were getting relief funds - just not PR. Because… they had a choice to do something not blatantly in defiance of Congress, the Constitution, and separation of powers and decided that it wasn’t on brand? I don’t know.

There are multiple, multiple things about this that piss me off, among them is that I can’t seem to find this story in any of the major Florida newspapers.

Well, yeah. “Colorado” is one of those Mexican words (“cabbage prayed” ?), so of course we need protection from those people.

No need for a barricade. Just put some Vaseline on the inside knob before he gets there.

They have to announce they are investigating Biden and release the server first.

I’d say it’s more of a great basis for a series of “M’lady” memes. What is it about fedoras that creeps like so much ?!

Colorado comes from the Spanish word for ‘ruddy’ or ‘red’.

‘Cabbage prayed’ is col rezó (according to the google translation).

Betsy DeVos and the Education Department have been held in civil contempt for continuing to collect student loan payments from people who attended a now-defunct college, despite the judge’s orders to desist.

The fedora is a standard men’s hat, work by creeps and heroes alike. That’s like saying “what is it about neckties that creeps like so much?”

Not really the same. Over the last several years, the fedora has become meme-ified as a symbol of the “neckbeard.”

Neckties don’t have that kind of stigma, AFAIK.

Long red ties certainly have a stigma of some sort. Same with red ball caps.

No.

In a perfect world, instead of fines that gobble up taxpayer dollars, DeVos would be sitting in a cell until her department is fully compliant. Also, she would have to clean all the toilets in the jail. Daily.

Do you think Chris Christie wakes up every morning to that shocked, wobbly-knees-causing feeling of relief one gets upon learning the flight you missed has crashed in the Azores, no survivors?

He must be the happiest Republican in America.

Not really. Ties are almost mandatory, so most every guy in a suit wears a tie (or a bow-tie for penguin events) and it’s a fashion statement to sport anything else. Hats have mostly fallen out of fashion so it’s a deliberate fashion choice to wear one at all - and since anyone with even a pinch of sense knows all of the fancy-assness of hats belongs with bowlers… (Yes it does. I’ll fight you IRL)

With regard to AG Barr’s “Investigate the Investigators” crusade – what are the worst case scenarios?

Either he finds something substantial, or he doesn’t.

If he finds something substantial, what could it plausibly be?
If he doesn’t – let’s assume that issuing a statement exonerating the brave men and women of the FBI and praising Mueller is not likely. So what mischief could happen?

The mischief is happening right now — the several thousand voters who (you never know) might make all the difference, who are newly energized now by there being a criminal investigation of investigators.

Continue investigating until anything is found, a lá Benghazi.

Or rather, continue investigating even after concluding there is nothing to be found.
