The Trump Administration: A Clusterfuck in the Making

He just said in his post what the things are.

For those who love over the top symbolism:
Bald eagle dies of lead poisoning the same day that Trump administration reverses Obama’s ban on lead lures and ammunition in wildlife sanctuaries.

I do wonder if Trump intentionally hoped his Jerusalem antics would lead to violence so he can point at all of the evil Mooslims. As of just today, one dead, over 700 injured in violence in Israel.

I think that’s a pretty good bet.

In 2011, Trump tweeted, “Why was the Hanukah celebration held in the White House two weeks early? @BarackObama wants to vacation in Hawaii in late December. Sad.”

Trump celebrated Hannukah in the White House last night, five days early, so he can go to Mar a Lago (although he pointedly refused to invite any Democratic Jews to the party)

I’m never happy with that number, no matter how low it is.

And what could be more fun for a Democratic Jew than partying with the Nazi-supporting Republican and noted Trump supporter Donald Trump?

Partying with Bannon?

This article looks at his base. It’s detail from the same Pew survey. Trump is losing support across all of his main support groups. They compared Feb 2017 to November 2017. A few highlights:

[ul]
[li]Evangelical Protestants, down 17%[/li][li]White, non-college-educated adults, down 10%[/li][li]Seniors, age 65+, down 10%[/li][/ul]

That would require Trump to understand the consequences of his actions and engage in long-term planning. I’ve seen no evidence he’s capable of either.

And the cherry on the top is that he’s perfectly capable of using (in a rally, for example) the ‘Obama held the celebration early so he could vacation’ complaint-----after having, himself, held a celebration early so that he could vacation.

I saw the bit about leaving TPP, but no explanation why he agreed with that stupid move. And there’s the bit about Saudia Arabia and Yemen, but nothing else. Maybe I’m tired…what did I miss?

Ann Telnaes’s GOP logo makes for a morbidly apt symbol of its own kind, too.

Not sure if posted elsewhere - (in Mueller thread probs - too butt lazy to keep up with every thread), but that verminous Devin Nunes can of mashed assholes has been cleared, thanks to the Orwellian-as-fuckly-named Ethics Committee (just having to capitalize that made me want to take a shower). At this point it’s still unclear if that toxic fucking scum-rag plans to actually resume his full duties as chairman in the Intelligence Committee’s Russia investigation.

I don’t pray often, but…

That’s it…the rest is silence. (We wish. Wasn’t it nice during the two weeks Trump was gone on his Asia trip? Not so much news making you have to hold back the rising bile.)

No worries. The Middle East should be just fine. Jared Kushner is on the job.

It’s just as we pictured it. :smack: God help us.

“Inside Trump’s Hour-by-Hour Battle for Self-Preservation”

So, “each presidential day as an episode in a television show in which he vanquishes rivals,” eh? We knew he was incapable of the long view or seeing the big picture, but holy shit.

Watch trump take to the airwaves any minute now claiming he removed ISIS from Iraq.

“This victory is uuuuge for me, a very big victory for me, I promised I would remove ISIS from Iran, uh, Iraq? Believe you me, this is bigly”

Four to eight hours in front of the TV each day? Holy shit that’s disturbing.

reading is hard

He’s probably looking for Sesame Street. And I wish we could get him to watch it. He might learn something.
