The Trump Administration: A Clusterfuck in the Making

Well, he does think of himself as royal “t”.

Whereas we mostly think of him as a royal “d” bag

Nitpick: It was sustained winds of 30-40 with gusting 60-70.

Nitpicking a nitpicking: if it had gusts of 60-70, it could’ve not been sustained 30-40. :cool:

I’d like to know the names of everyone in the room who applauded that statement (even out of politeness) just so they can be confronted and asked “why do you hate democracy?”

If he doesn’t go through with it, he doesn’t actually need to “walk this back”. He just has to do nothing. Then the GOP ass kissers can pretend his impulses are just the price to pay to keep his base happy, and Trump can campaign on how important it is to get a bigger Republican majority since the evil democrats stopped his very important tariffs. It’ll be a big fat lie, but so is most of what comes out of his mouth, so it won’t matter.

That is the standard terminology in aviation meteorological reports. Stand down from Nitpick mode.

Maximum acceptable winds for takeoff or landing depend on the crosswind component, not the wind speed as such. The crosswind component depends on runway orientation relative to wind direction. For the 747-200, with full fuel, the maximum demonstrated crosswind component is 25 knots. The runways at Andrews are north-south, so it would only be a limitation if the winds were east-west or close to it. For gusts, normal practice is to add half the gust factor (65 knots minus 35 knots, divided by 2, equals 15 knots) to approach speed on landing or to rotation speed on takeoff.

Well… I did it on purpose to create a chain-reaction…

Except in Russia, where it’s the royal wee.

I guess it’s a tribute to Trump, in a twisted sort of way, that he can sustain the Alec Baldwin SNL skit for so long. Normally, I’d be absolutely sick of this long-running bit, but just watching last night’s cold open had me in stitches. The never ending shit-storm that is this administration is beyond belief.

Although that’s certainly true, if he were to fire them, what would he use as a reason? Everything I can think of reflects poorly on him. OK, the most likely scenario would be that he tells them they need to resign. What would they use for a reason that wouldn’t drive Kushner’s company into a deeper hole than the one it’s in?

But if Kelly fires them, then Cadet Bone Spurs can say that he doesn’t think it was fair or justified but that he told Kelly to do what he thought best. Weak, I know, but perhaps better than he alternative.

Having said that, I should say I’d be surprised if they weren’t still in their present roles come summer.

He can just fire the FBI team that downgraded their security clearance and order up a more conciliatory team that will give them a pass. Because, you know, that fucking deep state.

Me thinks the perceived clusterfucks is having an effect
California Dems’ hard-left turn could be the whole party’s future (undoing)

Dems Going off the deep end much.

Not sure where they’re getting “impeccably liberal:”

Supported the Iraq War.
Supports the Patriot Act.
Supports mass surveillance, calls Edward Snowden a “traitor.”
Calls cannabis a “gateway drug,” opposes legalization.
Supports the death penalty.
Supports flag desecration penalties, media and internet censorship, dissolving net neutrality

She’s Republican Light - votes with them on any economic, foreign policy, or state issues, votes liberally on social issues.

More like trollunderthe_bridge.

Reminding me of the comedy gold that only Trump’s bounty can offer, like two Junes ago, when Trump’s presidential bid was announced, the Daily Show’s Jordan Klepper and Hasan Minaj did this goofy bit where they went into orgasm upon hearing the news, as Stewart exalted that Donald Trump’s announcement was like a “golden corral chocolate fountain dessert”.

Indeed, the gift that will keep on giving well after he’s outta there.

Which is why I didn’t vote for her six years ago and why I won’t vote for her this time.

The same place our new friend is getting “hard-left”. They’re both synonyms for “Democrat” in Foxspeak.

A join date of 2015 and he just now came alive? There’s been quite a bit of that lately.

Followed by a royal flush.
