The Trump Administration: A Clusterfuck in the Making

As Stephen Hawking put it, Trump appeals to the lowest common denominator. Those who aren’t capable of smelling the bullshit, choosing to believe it’s something else. Trump will screw up everything he touches, and we’ll pay the price. As long as he lies to them, he will get a pass no matter how bad he does. And we all know, he’s a very good liar.

Seriously, what kind of idiot would want to lock up Hillary for careless handling US confidential information, then turn around and consider General Petraeus (who knowingly revealed US secrets) for Sec of State? How does old hamster fists not see that as insane?

Trump did say on 60 Minutes that though Pence had voted for the Iraq war, that it was a forgivable mistake and then said that Clinton had committed an unforgivable mistake for doing the same thing.
Cheering by Trump supporters ensued

That’s not really fair. The pit is for mocking and shaming idiots. Trump is an idiot worthy of mocking and shaming. What would you prefer, an omnibus thread with 12,500 pages and 600,000 posts slowing the hamsters down every time someone loaded it to read it or respond?

Someone said to me, “It’s okay when the Republicans do it.”
As stated, I’m confining my news items about the Buffoon-Elect to this thread.

Trump to name Scott Pruitt, Oklahoma attorney general suing EPA on climate change, to head the EPA

My bold.

This should work out well for everyone. :rolleyes:

Thank you. :slight_smile:

Trump hires a third general, raising concerns about heavy military influence

Why, you may ask.

Here’s another one…

President-elect Donald Trump picked Linda McMahon, former CEO of World Wrestling Entertainment, to serve as the administrator of the Small Business Administration, his transition announced Wednesday.

She’s well qualified, she’s been in entertainment. :rolleyes:

Circus in Washington. Lots of seats available. See the clowns without their makeup, get there early.

Trump hiring generals, I thought he knew more than they did?

She has the most important qualification of all:

Pay for play, anyone? Oh, I forgot-- it’s okay when the Republicans do it. :smack:

What’s that old line-- “How can you tell when he’s lying? When his lips are moving.” Actually, in fairness, I think Trump only lies some of the time. I think he often believes and means his contradictory statements at the time he is making them. And then he either changes his mind depending on whom he wants to impress, or else he just forgets what he said before.

Generals and Billionaires. Hang on gang. This should prove interesting.

Well that’s why he’s hiring new ones, see ? So’s he can teach 'um.

What? That can’t be a real thing.

[in which leftfeild6 opens a new tab in his browser and checks multiple news sites, drops his head in disbelief, and then returns to this tab]

Holy fuck. Seriously? Is he not even going to make an effort to make his administration seem like a legitimate thing? What’s next, Ted Nugent heading up the National Endowment for the Arts?

Or he just does not give a shit. He says whatever he thinks his audience of the moment wants to hear, truth is completely irrelevant. I doubt he forgets or believes. He doesn’t care.
And his supporters and sycophants eat it up. :frowning:

Could we at least have more Ronald McDonald / Clarabelle / Bozo clowns and fewer Sideshow Bob / Pennywise / Joker ones?

Cough.

And you even responded to it!

He’s probably searching for a modern day equivalent of Savonarola.

That’s why we need a “like” button here.

Sorry, that went over my head. Explain, if you’re inclined.

(You did get that the *rolleyes *indicated irony, right?)

Because I’d already posted that story?

Maybe it’s going over my head. Not hard to do, I’m on the short-ish side.

Oh. I must have forgotten which thread I was in. So sorry. Didn’t mean to be redundant, although some of this stuff bears repeating, amirite? I’ll try to be more alert.

No, Nugent is going to be director of the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives, shortly to be renamed to the “Department of Homeland Hammerdown and Hunting”.

Kind of like this guy?
