The Trump Administration: A Clusterfuck in the Making

From the COVID News thread:

Back in the USA, however:

“Those Urpeens are just a bunch of goddam godless Socialists! They’re giving out free money (EWWW!) to people who haven’t earned it or shown their worthiness. This is Murika where poor people have the guaranteed right to die of starvation and Wealth Creators have the guaranteed right to make money no matter what! If God liked those people he wouldn’t have made them poor, amirite? Didn’t Jaysus say, ‘The poor you will always have with you’? Well, so there, says right there in the Good Book, not to mention the Declarashun of Independence and the Constitutitutitution. God bless America!”

Has anyone seen the ratings for Trump’s Sunday night “town hall”? I think I heard it had 4 million viewers, but haven’t seen that translated into ratings. (I’m betting he got crushed by 60 Minutes, otherwise we’d be hearing nothing else.)

Having him spew his lies inside the Lincoln Memorial is some kind of secular blasphemy, by the way.

The Lincoln Memorial would be appropriate for the Trump/Pence ceremony of seppuku. Acting President Pelosi should take the oath in a private setting.

His obsession with the “ratings” his television appearances get is really disturbing. This country has been led by real statesmen, like Thomas Jefferson, Woodrow Wilson, FDR and Dwight Eisenhower. Even Nixon and Reagan had serious ideas about international alliances and agreements. Now it’s led by a former reality TV star who still thinks he is in one.

That was awesome. That Twitter user deserves a Noble Prize. :stuck_out_tongue:

I honestly think that’s why some idiots voted for him. He was on a reality TV show, He’ll make things interesting! Ugh. Too bad the rest of us with half a brain don’t get more frequent chances to vote him off the island.

Individual 1 prefers women reporters who behave like Donna Reed.

New York Times is reporting that the coronavirus task force is going to be allowed to dwindle away without fanfare.

This so-called “Task Force” never even existed. Fake news. Anyone who claims otherwise is just deranged and a Trump Hater.

Dr. Rick Bright has formally filed a whistleblower complaint concerning the political influence that drove HHS’s pharmaceutical decision-making.

So far the administration’s pandemic response has been nothing but confusion, incompetence, partisanship, abdicating responsibility and lies; and now we can add corruption.

That’s a feature, not a bug.

Why do you hate good old American ingenuity and Capitalism?

And one of those real statesmen was President Obama.

The hitch is that this really is reality, not the scripted version, and it’s biting him in the butt. He’s melting down and taking the country, nay, the planet with him.

In his delusional brain, Chump somehow expected not just US officials but the entire world would kowtow to his bullying and browbeating. Their not cooperating was definitely not in the script.

I’m sure if they looked they could find a ‘Mission Accomplished’ banner somewhere in a White House closet.

Lincolns ghost walks out and says, You’re Fired.

This Donna Reed?

It goes without saying that Donna Reed was a working woman.

In case you missed it, in the video of Trump touring the factory today - “Live and Let Die” was playing over the loudspeaker.

Lincoln’s.

Just in case you’ve been wondering why the damn dirty lying sack of dung in the White House has not bee doing his job, here is his latest excuse:

What are all those things he says have kept him from doig his job?

Odd that he did not mention all the golfing, inspector general firing, grafting, constitution breaking, and murderer-pardoning he managed to squeeze into his oh so busy schedule.

I am seeing more and more signs that we will not have a normal election this year, and if Trump “wins” re-election, there will be a power grab in 2021.

The evidence is right in front of us, with Trump essentially declaring the pandemic over in spite of what the scientists are saying. He’s basically going to start purging the scientists, or he’ll simply shut them up. Republicans will follow his lead.

Trump may not be able to make up the gap with Biden, who’s a flawed candidate but isn’t as susceptible to smear campaigns as Clinton was. So to “win,” he’ll need a back-up plan. I think the back-up is going to be to somehow interfere with the vote, either by pushing (where possible) states to postpone elections. And there’s always the possibility (probability) of help from Russia.

Is there any doubt that Russia will once again help Trump? Any at all?
