The Trump Administration: The Clusterfuck Continues (Part 1)

Maybe you’re right, but one of the thieves might be Jewish and the other clearly is a gentile. Biblical! :grin:

From your quote from Trump’s post:-

“Matt is fighting against a woman who hates Christianity, will take away your guns, wants Open Borders, Transgender for everybody, men in women’s sports, and openly disdains Country music.”

….also, her mom smells.

Jesus Christ has he hit rock bottom yet or is there further to go do we think?

Alas, this is his gift. :nauseated_face: He can always sink lower than any normal person ever thought possible.

Slipping, left out ‘piggy’, no ‘woke’, nor Biden reference.

It’s the modern “Will no one rid me of this turbulent priest?”

I have no doubt that Hegseth literally didn’t say, “Bomb them a second time!” What did happen was he gave some initial order, that sounded a lot like “Kill them all!”, and then the officer in charge was left to figure out the details. What to do about those two people who survived the first strike? Well, you were told to kill them all, weren’t you? So get on with it, and that officer orders the second strike.

Word gets to Hegseth, and he chortles and says, “Hey, man, I never ordered him to kill the survivors! He’s gone rogue, he misunderstood my orders, I never said that!” But at the end of the day, everyone under him understood that he wanted them all dead, even if he never literally gave the order to kill the survivors. If anything ever ends up in court, it’s the lower ranks that will be left holding the bag.

Let’s hope he was dumb enough to give orders in writing.

Killing civilians in international waters is un-American. We should let them go back home and attend weddings with children present, then double tap them.

Or that there’s a recording.

Maybe there’s a Instagram post.

He looks awful. Ill and old.

As others have pointed out, and I was going to post with the picture his golf club thing with his name card, he is not looking well.

Vance needs what, Trump to live past election day 2026 or sometime in 2027 to lock in “President” for the remainder of this term? Can I dream of a Dem Congress that gets to choose the “acting president / President”? till 2029?

That’s not how it works. The reason the date matters to Vance is that if he serves more than two years of Trump’s term, he’s only eligible to be elected for one more term, so he only gets maybe 7 years, max. If Trump kicks it with just under two years left, though, Vance can be elected twice, giving him possibly ten years in office.

“Ther are laws that effect our Nation.”

Ahh, so it’s only the number of terms he can run for election for.

LBJ could have run in 1968 (but lost Cronkite, etc) yet didn’t the 25th amendment state he was (would have been) “acting president” from late 1963 to 1964?

I guess the current question is, when does Vance “lock in” being President short of being elected? Doesn’t Congress play a role now?

Ther are

Pulled out my law-type-reading-book

The law makes it a federal crime to willfully engage in certain activities with the intent to interfere with, impair, or influence the loyalty, morale, or discipline of the U.S. military forces.

So basically, Sedition. I know you are but what am I?

SCOTUS has in the past (maybe the too long past) had a keen eye on how this law is used and abused. I would like to think SCOTUS being ordered via tweet puts them in a certain stance.

This is only for temporary transfers of power, if the President is not quite dead yet. If he’s fully dead, the VP becomes a proper President:

In case of the removal of the President from office or of his death or resignation, the Vice President shall become President.

https://constitution.congress.gov/constitution/amendment-25/

Even the 22nd amendment makes a distinction:

No person shall be elected to the office of the President more than twice, and no person who has held the office of President, or acted as President, for more than two years of a term to which some other person was elected President shall be elected to the office of the President more than once.

So if Trump were merely in a coma for the last few years of his term, Vance would be an Acting President, but if Trump dies, he’s just President.

I suppose the term is Jan 22nd or whenever the inauguration was. So, in theory, if the Reaper comes soon, Vance is President and can only run one more time? So something changed, as JFK died two months short of two years and LBJ could have run again in 1968? The 22nd seems to be addressing exactly that.

Mike Johnson holds up his phone to a mic so Trump can rant to a rally crowd.

I guess Cocaine is still part of his daily cocktail

What is the difference between BBC saying, “Trump has said he hates Christianity” and plausibly suing for billions and this? I mean, any politician wouldn’t say they “hate Christianity”.

Has she even said the bit about Country Music? Big, perfect, lawsuit!

She did say something about not liking country music. I’m pretty sure it was in a previous election campaign or at least not in this one.

Who is Trump saying hates Christianity?
