The Trump Administration: A Clusterfuck in the Making

And the businesses might just play along with these bullshit fabrications if nothing else just by not saying anything, as it might be to their advantage.

Trump drops inauguration announcer who’s done them all since Eisenhower

And he was told by email, not even the courtesy of a phone call.

Bolding mine

This is a bit over the top but it made me think:

One of the hallmarks of the Republican/alt-right/conservative/Fox/right politician/media has been projection. It’s not just coincidence that the most virulent anti-gays get caught in compromising ways. And the Donald’s record on what he screeched about yesterday is nearly word for word what he’s doing today.
Something that’s been howled about quite regularly over the past years is camps; FEMA camps or their equivalent.

Makes me wonder (and glad once again I moved to Canada)

Soooo…what do you make of Der Trihs projections?

The question is, how much did Steve Ray donate to Trump’s campaign?

I am pleased to have someone on board who’s presence affords me some “centrist” cred.

Who’s Der Trihs? I see the name bandied about but I don’t see any posts by him.

You mean you haven’t been invited to receive his musings? :eek::eek:

Agreed. The entertainment value of his posts more than makes up for his extremism. :smiley:

I love how Trump is firing people who don’t yet work for him. First he wants all of the ambassadors to resign, and now he’s told the heads of the National Nuclear Security Administration, the organization that keeps track of our nuclear weapons, to clear out.

Best quote from that link:

Then he hires his son-in-law, Jared Kushner, in violation of 5 U.S. Code § 3110.

(b) A public official may not appoint, employ, promote, advance, or advocate for appointment, employment, promotion, or advancement, in or to a civilian position in the agency in which he is serving or over which he exercises jurisdiction or control any individual who is a relative of the public official. An individual may not be appointed, employed, promoted, or advanced in or to a civilian position in an agency if such appointment, employment, promotion, or advancement has been advocated by a public official, serving in or exercising jurisdiction or control over the agency, who is a relative of the individual.

If this is any example of how Trump plans on respecting the law his impeachment will be rather easy. Hopefully he’ll be caught telling lies to cover his misdeeds and a 3 ring circus ensues while the world watches and laughs.

I hope they are laughing, I fear they are cringing.

I’ve started mentally inserting “Loke” whenever I read “Trump”. The world makes sense again. Disturbing sense, but still sense.

Now we know why they requested lists of Energy and State Department employees involved with climate change and anti-discrimination efforts.

Civil Service protects them from “You’re Fired!” but not from a pay cut to $1 per annum…

I think the Republican primary has been addressed several times. But if you think it was because the other Republican candidates were even shittier than Hillary, I’m not going to defend them. But I think that Trump won the primaries by cornering the racist/bigot vote and that was enough to give him a plurality in a 17 way race.

So the Russians lied somehow? The whiny blaming of foreign powers for the loss is weak tea. WTF do you think the Russians did other than illegally obtain accurate information about Hillary’'s cheating?

I agree the FBI’s re-opening of the email probe affected the election and it shouldn’t have but Director Comey (who the left was calling a paragon of integrity when he declined to recommend charges against Hillary for her use of a private email server) is now being criticized for showing integrity in announcing the discovery of heretofore undiscovered emails to and from Huma Abedin. Turns out it wasn’t a big deal but should he have sat on this discovery until after he found something incriminating even if that incriminating evidence wasn’t found until after the election? Hillary’s penchant for secrecy and non-disclosure fed into this and was part of what made her such a shitty candidate.

Assange, the darling of free speech and the left when he released stuff that hurt Bush, but totally untrustworthy creep now that he releases stuff that hurts Hillary. :rolleyes: Did he release incorrect information? Did he compromise our national security wen he released the emails like he did when he released information when Bush was president? Were they fake emails?

What fake news affected the election? Trump’s mouth diarrhea was apparent to most but they still chose Hillary in states that voted for Obama over McCain and Romney. Doesn’t that make you think that the problem might have been Hillary?

"After speaking to our source for clarification, we have updated the story and headline to reflect that, while Klotz and Creedon have submitted their resignations, intend to depart on January 20, and have not been asked by the Trump transition to stay past that date, the Trump team has not explicitly instructed them to leave or “clean out their desks,” as we reported. According to our source, both officials “have expressed [to the Trump team] that they would likely be willing to stay to facilitate a smooth transition, if asked,” as is the tradition for key officials, and have received no response.

Their goodbye party is scheduled for next Thursday."

Still not very encouraging but there is a chance that just haven’t gotten around to it yet.

So, he did it, and he shouldn’t have, but you will set that minor problem aside because liberal hypocrisy?

this is better than sominex

Ugh. Trump supporter Roosevelt Grier is running for Governor of California. A run of the mill Republican can’t get elected in California, but a celebrity can (qv Schwartzeneggar). I am worried.
