The Trump Administration: A Clusterfuck in the Making

The 2020 campaign, which he’s already officially filed the FEC paperwork for.

Has he started trying to get them removed from Wayback Machine as well?

He might need some of that bleach he thinks Hillary used for that.

“Mr. Lavrov, how would you like to be my new director of the FBI?”
The scary thing is not only that this would be possible, but that the Republicans in the Senate would vote to confirm.

Apparently he doesn’t understand that the Internet is forever.

Based upon his line of questioning, one opinion writer thinks Lindsey Graham could be preparing to pounce.

What the fuck are you talking about?

Sarah Hucakbee, in her press conference today, claimed the Democrats are being hypocrites for being upset about the Comey firing. Yeah, it has nothing today with the timing and the optics, it’s all about making the other side in the political process into the bad guys.

How long before Trump says that Comey is a Russian stooge that was trying to frame him?

They should tell him that he’s done so well as President that he’s getting a promotion to Senior Shouting Officer.

Is Frederick Douglas available?

Trump met with the Russian Ambassador and Foreign Minister in the White House today. Although the press was notified of the meetings, there are no official photos of the meeting coming out of the White House. All of the pictures are coming from the Russian press.

And the US did that during the turmoil of Vietnam.

Trump thinks life is like a box of chocolates: Too many black and brown ones and not enough white ones.

Betsy DeVos, for some reason, was chosen to give the commencement address at historically black Bethune-Cookman University. A large percentage of the graduating seniors stood up and turned their backs on her, while people present booed her loudly.

The head of the Florida NAACP has called for the university’s president and board chairman to resign.

If the whole country were actually a city, Republicans (at least in their current iteration) would never hold power again.

Reporter arrested for repeatedly trying to get HHS Secretary Tom Price to answer questions about Trumpcare.

Not just Reagan–the allegory has been in political use since at least Kennedy–but yes, Trump is trying to invoke a Reagan-esque popular appeal by borrowing the langauge just as he did with “Make American Great Again!” Ironically, the phrase is borrowed from Jesus’ “Sermon On The Mount”, and specifically the parable of “Salt and Light” which was about humility and compassion, two qualities that Trump and everyone he surrounds himself monumentally lack. The speech is retold in John 8, including the famously misquoted, “He who is without sin among you, let him throw a stone at her first,” which is another knucklebiter given how many among the Trump coterie are clearly not “without sin” in either the Biblical or legal sense.

The depth of Trump’s lies and errant misquotations vastly exceed the depth of his character.

How is Betsy DeVos even…anything? Other than her family giving money to the Republican party, she has a complete lack of even superficial qualifications for her role. No education experience, no administrative experience, no significant financial experience with large loan-offering institutions, for fuck’s sake she’s never even had to take out a loan for herself. I guess we’re lucky that she hasn’t mandated that students start selling Amway products to fund their education and forcing them to endure Neurocore treatments as part of realigning their moral compasses. At least putting Scott Pruitt in charge of the EPA or Rick Perry as Secretary of Energy made some kind of sense in terms of fulfilling an agenda, or Elaine Chao as Secretary of Transportation in order to suck up to Mitch McConnell. The DeVos appointment is just pure cronyism for its own sake, and putting an apocalyptic evangelist in a Cabinet level position to boot.

Weird, wild stuff! That’s just insane.
