The Trump Administration: A Clusterfuck in the Making

They do. Regularly. Doesn’t bother them in the slightest. Da’esh theology defines any Muslims that do not recognize their legitimacy as kafir.

What does drive them crazy is referring to them as Da’esh (al-Dawla al-Islamiya al-Iraq al-Sham – Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant), which apparently sounds similar to “one who sows discord” or “to trample underfoot”. Leaders in Mosul threatened to cut the tongue out of anyone who referred to them by that acronym.

Bold added.
The question was, “What if they die?” i.e., when their Medicaid benefits are cut under Der Trump’s proposed budget. Presumably they don’t get great health insurance working for the Trump Empire and likely rely on Medicaid.

for that we will need one without dementia.

Hey, we can always import replacements. Ones who have zero English, so they will be easier to control.

Donald Trump? Mitch McConnell? Paul Ryan? Mick Mulvaney? No. Ebeneezer Scrooge in Dickens’ A Christmas Carol. Business. That’s what matters. The plight of the poor is of no concern to a man of “business,” not even if he is a public servant.

In April, Trump had a phone call with murderous Philippine strongman Rodrigo Duterte. A transcript of the call has been obtained by The Intercept (I’m not familiar with this source, but they were quoted by Pro Publica). In the call, Trump praised Duterte’s handling of the drug problem in the Philippines, saying, in part:

[Quote=il Douche]
I just wanted to congratulate you because I am hearing of the unbelievable job on the drug problem. Many countries have the problem, we have a problem, but what a great job you are doing and I just wanted to call and tell you that
[/quote]

Duterte’s drug war is marked by the wholesale slaughter of drug dealers and users. Police have killed an estimated 7000 people in the year since Duterte took power, and Duterte has encouraged vigilantism against drug dealers and users. When he wants to brag, Duterte compares himself to Hitler.

To be fair, the Obama administration did give the Philippine military weapons, and while the admin didn’t give weapons directly to the National Police (who are behind many extrajudicial executions), it did allow US weapons manufacturers to sell to them. Also, small arms are pretty fungible, so giving them to the military but not the National Police doesn’t absolve us of complicity. While Obama offered tepid criticism of Duterte in public, Obama too deserves criticism for his tangible support of Duterte.

But, Obama’s not the President anymore and Trump is, god forgive us all. And this thread is about Trump. So ::clears throat::

FUCK YOU, DONALD TRUMP, FOR PRAISING A MURDEROUS DICTATOR, YOU BAG OF SHIT!

Trump has lawyered up.

It might have been entertaining if he’d handed the reins to Michael Cohen (“Investigators have found evidence of numerous ties to the Russians–” “Which investigators?” “Uhm, all of them?”). :rolleyes:

You mean those accused of being drug dealers and users. Evidence and proof are for losers. Just look at Trump’s methodology.

The Party of Personal Responsibility strikes again.
Giuliani disavows any knowledge of his own actions.

I will say, the saddest thing about all this is that Donald Trump is now a person of some historical significance. Which sucks.

I think it was Jimmy Kimmel who said that Trump would start dating his popularity rating once it hit the 20’s.

The Middle East is where all those Ayrabs live, right? That excludes God’s Own Land. :wink:

(Do people in the ME call it “the ME”?)

Oooh, snap! She is already living there, when you think about it. How many adult kids prefer to live with their parents? AND WHY IN THE WORLD IS TIFFANY ALWAYS GETTING LEFT OUT?

Why did he feel he had to announce where he just came from? Does he think no one knows where he was?

God heard her prayers.

To be fair, Rudy Giuliani doesn’t know which way is up.
