The Trump Administration: A Clusterfuck in the Making

And another Trump campaign person pled guilty to charges of lying to the FBI.

My thoughts on listening to the news on NPR today.

This is great stuff. Trump was in his private quarters for half the day watching cable news, getting angry, and calling his lawyers.

Papadopoulos was a surprise. He may have been wearing a wire when dealing with the Trump campaign.

Mueller is making America great again!

Trump hit an all time low in the Gallup Poll today - 33% approval.

<Trumpista>

FAKE NEWS! Why don’t you mention that his disapproval rating was at an ALL TIME HIGH! 62%!!! MAGA!!!

Detrumpify makes this thread so much fun to read!

It changes “The Trump Administration: A Clusterfuck in the Making”

To the “Sexist, Gaffe-Prone Asshat” Administration. teeheehee

And if I preview what I can see below the draft page I see:

Toxic, Apricot Anus
Moldering, Rage-Addled Herpe Sore
Loofa-Faced, Witless Herpe Sore
Moldering, Man-Shaped Nutsack
Chicken-Necked, idiotic Condom
Idiotic, Toxic Buttplug
Tangerine, Deranged Fart Basket

And many, many more. Now some of this might be original to the posters, I’m not sure, but before I switched it from “Drumpf mode” I’m pretty sure this thread was way less funny.

And I disagree with a poster above: you can’t have too many kittens!

It’s nice to be able to amuse myself while waiting for Trump to make America Great Again. I.E. Destroy our democratic government, initiate world war three, and sink Florida into the ocean.

Well, one of those things is something to look forward to, anyway. :smiley:

(Actually, someone needs to point out to Trump that Obama’s AVERAGE Gallup approval rating was 47.9%, and Trump has only hit 46% ONCE - on the first day of his presidency, and it’s been all downhill ever since.)

He had approval ratings in the 40s? The mind boggles.

Low 40’s. And not since May. It’s pretty much a downhill slide with brief ups and downs.

I saw someone on Twitter point out that unemploymnent is low, GDP growth is high by US standards, and the stock market is screaming… and Trump’s approval is in the low 30s. That’s, shall we say, atypical.

He’s an atypical president.

Bruti, for the Latin construction; Brutuses, for modern English.

I dunno… Christie’s suggestion sounds like calculated spin in an attempt to dangle the offer that Trump won’t necessarily even seek another term if they’d just let him MAGA in peace for the next three years. :rolleyes:

Of course, this wouldn’t ever be put in writing or anything, it’s just in order to plant the pernicious idea that *“hey, it’s been about a year, if you can just let him do three more of those, Trump may go away peacefully” *as a stalling tactic.

No doubt there will be some GOPers trying to primary Trump in 2020 but the idea RANDY will be the ONE is just his ego running overboard.

Perhaps leading to a Night of the Short Stubby Knives.

There is a thing called the FAR - federal acquisition regulations.

On any FEDERAL government contract, the government invokes the FAR, which gives them the right and the duty to provide oversight. That means if you get Uncle Sam’s money, Uncle Sam has the right to know if he is getting what he paid for. It gets written directly into the contract. Rights to data, delivery of known good (or rejection of bad) hardware, software, rights to inspect, etc etc etc.

Not ONE competent career government employee in contract administration would sign off on a “contract” like the one Whitefish got. Not willingly.

And I found a way to put in my own monikers. :smiley:

Yeah, to me the evidence points to the Puerto Rican utility authority (PREPA) doing a shitty job, rather than to Zinke handing out favors. Maybe he put the Whitefish people in touch with PREPA, but in any event they were in Puerto Rico doing utility work well before this contract was signed.

There are in fact at least plausible reasons why they got the contract; they apparently have greater-than-usual experience in doing utility work in mountainous areas, by dint of their Montana contracts.

teehee I just saw. I must admit I love the way your mind works!

Law professor Seth Abramson put together an itemized list of the lies Sarah Huckabee spewed in yesterday’s press briefinig:

Seth Abramson is doing yoeman’s work over at Twitter. I follow him and read that entire thread yesterday. Very compelling stuff.
