The Trump Administration: A Clusterfuck in the Making

@siam sam

what, again? Any truth to the rumor that duterte has the highest bid so far?

Other than kushner’s lying on his security-clearance form – twice, i hear – about his russian contact? A felony.

lock him up!
Lock him up!
Lock him up!
Lock him up!

I think I have a solution to this wall problem:

1. Trump loves to lie. Lies are his life blood.
2. The wall, if actually built, will be unbelievably expensive.
3. Therefore, Trump should just lie and say it’s been built already. Who’s going to go check? Not his supporters, they’ll lap it up. The rest of us won’t point out the truth in this case, because we don’t want that wall built. Could be win-win.

And if we don’t build the wall, it’ll be easy to get Mexico to pay for it.

Duterte is a monster. Is anyone really surprised he declared martial law?

Yes he is, but in the interest of fighting ignorance, he did not declare martial law over the whole of the Republic of the Philippines, just over Mindinao, a province in the south that has been having quite the ISIS-backed terrorist problem recently - moreso than they usually have.

Just photoshop a wall on Google map.

@bobot

Meet The Press looked back at a history of his tweets, I’m not sure how far back, and found that in that time he had never once used the phrases “I think”

So at least he’s honest about some things.

Plus, he gets to brag about building that wall faster than any other leader in history. His projects ALWAYS come in under time!:eek:

I’ve been saying for months this actually will happen.

There are already some existing walls and fences in various places. Slap some paint on a couple of the existing barriers, maybe extend one 100 feet. Claim credit for the best wall ever.

If any [del]Dems[/del] one says it hasn’t been built, he’ll just scream FAKE NEWS!

Well, no, that’d not be enough. It also needs to have his name written in YUGE golden letters. Else it simply couldn’t be the greatest wall you’ve ever seen.

Isn’t that exactly what Spicer was claiming in the press conference? Even claiming how they were replacing the existing ‘fence’ with the ‘new’ hurricane (?) wall? (the fence was construction fence for safety while the worked on the other structure.)

I know Ive seen similar memes on FB already as well.

Thanks for the clarification, I’d forgotten that the martial law was geographically limited so far. That’s a hell of an “either/or”.
Do yo cheer for this murdering psycho, or the other murdering psycho, basically.

What a choice.

“Duterte jokes about rape while rallying troops to fight militants”

(CNN)Philippines President Rodrigo Duterte, giving a pep talk to his troops in the country’s restive south, exhorted the soldiers to go all out in fighting Islamic militants and joked that under martial law they could even commit rape with impunity.

“The consequences of martial law and the ramifications of martial law, I and I alone would be responsible. Just do your jobs, I’ll take care of the rest,” he told his soldiers on Friday while visiting Iligan City in the country’s Mindanao region.

He then warned against committing human rights violations, before joking: “If you rape three people, I will admit that I did it.”

In other news, I was listening to the BBC this morning (on NPR), and apparently Putin is cosying up to Macron* (I guess Putin was impressed at the way Macron won that handshakewith Trump**). Wouldn’t it be funny if Putin and Macron wind up going to the Prom together, and Trump can’t get a date? I know Angela Merkel won’t dance with him.

If Putin makes nice with the Europeans, Trump could find himself on the porch peering in the window while the Important Grown-Ups party away inside, pointedly ignoring him. Or maybe they’ll let him sit at the kids’ table. The utensils will be just his size.

*Macron and Putin Focus on Improving Bilateral Relations

** Macron had surprised the world last week with his white-knuckle grasp of President Trump’s hand when the pair met for the first time. Trump had already gained notoriety for his handshake, a vigorous tug that has caught some world leaders off guard.

The French president, however, came prepared.

Though Trump leaned in first, he tried to release his hand from the lengthy shake, twice, while Macron kept squeezing. Speaking to Le Journal du Dimanche this weekend, Macron explained that “my handshake with him, it wasn’t innocent,” later adding: “One must show that you won’t make small concessions, even symbolic ones, but also not over-publicize things, either.”

I was on the bus yesterday listening to a fellow passenger with obvious behavioral-health problems holding forth loudly about what a godsend Traitor Trump was. No, I did not deduce his obvious BH problems from his Chump support but rather his disheveled appearance, unique body odor, facial tics and loud volume. It occurred to me that the only people I myself have ever encountered voicing strong support for the Filth-in-Chief was crazy people. Crazy as loons. I’ve personally not seen a sane Chump voter.

Greetings from what passes for a President these days.

@realDonaldTrump
I would like to wish everyone, including all haters and losers (of which, sadly, there are many) a truly happy and enjoyable Memorial Day!

Rubber, glue. :rolleyes:

There he goes with the “losers” thing again. Someone give the guy a thesaurus!

From 2015, so it was Trump, but not President Trump.

Ah, okay. He’s less articulate than that these days - shoulda been a clue, sorry.
