The Trump Administration: A Clusterfuck in the Making

To ensure the entire crew and embarked units hears such a speech, the usual practice is to use the ship’s PA system, the 1MC.

I might just have to steal this.

The way I heard this expression many years ago was, “He has the Sadim touch. That’s ‘Midas’ spelled backward. Everything he touches turns into dlog, and you know that that is.”

Pretty sure it’s already stolen.

Plonked him months ago. My reads are much less crazy, and would be even better if everyone else did, too.

And I assume, of course, that you’re willing to be one of those who will suffer for it? :wink:

At this point, do you really believe he’s even capable of having a “thought process”? He basically just pulls something out of his ass and hopes it sounds, “intellectual”. I honestly am starting to subscribe to the theory that he’s in the early stages of dementia. Or at the very least, he’s on some serious drugs.
He’s never made sense, but he’s been worse than usual lately.

I was talking about the so called thought process of those who defend Trump. It requires an Etch-A-Sketch like mind.

An opinion piece by Max Boot:

The worst president. Ever.

Yeah, I guess the only time Trump works hard is to blame others and/or brag about himself although you could argue that this comes naturally for him.

Of course I’d rather not - goes without saying. But we all gotta die of something, someday.

What I’m talking about is simple: I want ordinary people to be shocked into action. If it’s already bad enough to do that, that would be great.

Problem is, last time I checked, Trump is polling well enough to win re-election.

Speaking of doublethink, at today’s press circus, Trump went off on a sidebar rant about how awful it was that “the previous administration” let 18,000 people die (more like 12,000, not that that’s so much better) during the 2009 H1N1 outbreak, this after having spent the past several days crowing that he’s done a fabulous job if we get out of this one with a mere 100,000 dead.

I’ll be in my room. Don’t worry about those thumps you hear; it’s just me banging my head against the wall.

Here’s CNN’s fact check on that:

Fact Check: Trump baselessly disputes HHS IG report, repeats several other false claims at Monday’s coronavirus briefing

So, the Obama administration took action in two weeks. Trump’s admin took over two months during some of which he was calling it a hoax

King Merde-as.

It also took a year to get to that death toll for H1N1 (even accepting the high end figure).

Trump will get his wish and beat Obama in something. We’ll see more than 18000 deaths in April 2020 alone. It’s not fair to lay that entirely at Trump’s feet, as we’re comparing apples and oranges in terms of diseases, but it is fair to lay the 2 months of delay and the resulting unnecessary misery and suffering squarely on him.

He would be a pathetic excuse for toenail fungus, much less a human being. It also does not say a lot for us that we (collectively anyway) elected him.

King Merde-ass

I’m sure you’ll be as shocked as I was to learn that Trump has a stake in a company that makes hydroxychloroquine.

Shocked!

One of the news stories I listened to yesterday said specifically the 1MC was used. That it was the specific term and not just ‘PA’ like most of the other outlets used leads me to believe the writers knew what they were talking about and the [del]asshole[/del] ‘acting’ SecNav was onboard.

I was feeling sorry for whoever it is that takes command. Stepping into a shitstorm not of their making.

This administration makes Harding’s administration look squeaky clean by comparison. Even during a time of extreme crisis, they never pass up a chance to take their cut and profit at the expense of everyone else.

Stephanie Grisham out as press secretary. Steph, we hardly knew you. In fact, we never saw you. Now she’s heading over to the East Wing to be Melania’s chief of staff. This begs the question, why does she need a chief of staff?

From that link:

“Questions about his motives”?? There are NEVER any questions about his motives. MONEY! That rotten sonufabitch.

Well, she seems to be pretty qualified for the position. She just spent eight months doing nothing. She’ll just have to move her plants to a new desk.
