The Trump Administration: A Clusterfuck in the Making

Or his 4D Chess strategy, in which this was the payoff to his earlier claim that the aircraft carrier USS Carl Vinson was off Korean when it was actually off Australia. Now NK never really knows what ship is where, even when he’s telling the truth.

But Occam would say he’s just an idiot.

The speaking part apparently only dates back to 1993, so it’s a relatively new thing that probably won’t be missed.

1993 was 24 years ago. That’s longer than the end of WWII to the Summer of Love.

It actually originates from either Josh Marshall (of Talking Points Memo) or author John Scalzi, I think.

I responded that Francis looks like he needs an industrial-strength laxative or a good stiff drink. Or both.

Yeah really. People that were born after that are taking their kids to Disney.

Our failing, low-energy president decided to take advantage of his visit to the Holocaust museum in Israel by treating the guestbook like his Twitter feed;

That’s what this idiot took away from the place.

It might not be his fault, though - one analysis indicates that his language skills are rapidly deteriorating.

It’s a bit of a cheap shot, but compare Trump’s message at Yad Vashem to Obama’s: https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/worldviews/wp/2017/05/23/the-huge-contrast-between-obama-and-trumps-visits-to-israels-holocaust-memorial/

On every metric I can think of besides “creative use of capitalization,” Trump comes up short. Really, really short.

This! It offends me to no end that his portrait will hang with the other Presidents (regardless of how I feel about them) and that he now has a place in the history books (regardless of how he will be remembered).

I wrote a blog post on this when he was inaugurated, about how every US President always gets his own postage stamp, which means this tool will eventually get one, too.

On the plus side, you have to be dead to get one. It might not work in his case, people would spit on the wrong side.

Meanwhile, apparently Melania and Ivanka were thinking: I’m meeting a priest; this must be a funeral. And dressed accordingly.

No, no, it’s a coded message: they’re dressing like cinematic Mafia widows to tell us they, too, mourn the death of the Republic.

So stop being so mean, libtards. Women’s rights are in much better hands under M&I’s careful watch than they would’ve been with President Cankles.

We can hope it will be tasetefully done

I’m thinking that he recognizes the Trumpster as a minion of Satan, and wishes to avoid prolonged eye contact.

Yeah, make me feel old, why don’t ya.

Really, though, that means that the speaking part was only active for three presidential administrations. So, cutting it out won’t be as big and noteworthy as, say, if they’d been doing it since Eisenhower.

What happens to a hundred million Donald Trump postage stamps that go unsold in Democratic states like California? Do they ship them to States like Iowa? Or do they get destroyed?

Put it on display with the real presidential robots for a week, then move it to a mini-golf course.

Disney should make a deal with a certain Danish toy company and call that mini-golf course Par-a-Lego. With Lego versions of the typical obstacles.

Congressional Democrats are accusing Trump of directing government agencies to ignore requests for information on any subject.

My post office told me that each post office orders the number they think they can sell, and then they’re stuck with them.

If that’s true, I’m guessing CA will order on the low side in the blue areas. Say, close to zero.
