The Trump Administration: The Clusterfuck Continues (Part 2)

Allies? We don’t need no stinking allies! Unless they’re nice to us, like Quatar, and not mean, like Canada (soon to be called Northern Minnesota! What’s Poland ever done for us? Look up Roman Giertych‘s letter mentioned in the article to Rose, it’s very good.

Let’s hear the whole joke! (We can withstand a one-short-post diversion.)

Better hide the truth, hide reality, NBC! As long as reality is hidden, Republicans can act like everything is fine! So weak and fragile that reality is painful. Pathetic.

“The Party told you to reject the evidence of your eyes and ears. It was their final, most essential command.”

–George Orwell, “1984”

MeidasTouch: Trump didn’t know about the ‘ape’ video. Also, Trump knows everything. Should be cued to 09:54.

From an Occupy Democrats post:

“You frequently criticized Biden for not knowing what was going on in his name, this racist video that was posted on your social media—"

Trump immediately gets FURIOUS and desperately tries to bully his way out of it.

“I know what’s going on. I know what’s going on. Joe Biden didn’t have a clue. But we know everything.”

Now, I could see going to watch Melania as team building even. Everyone just MST3Ks during the showing. Good jokes get big laughs, and they become a better closer unit.

A farmer had a wife and two sons. He worked hard and had enough money to send just the older son to college. There wasn’t even money for the son to return home for visits. Finally the farmer’s son graduated and returned home.

At dinnertime, the older son asked his father what had happened while he was away studying. The father told him, “You should have been here last month son! I was out plowing the field when I heard the thundering sound of hooves. I turned around and what did I see? Two wild horses racing straight at me, neck and neck. I jump right between them and punched them both at one time, knocking them out.”

The older son responded, “That’s fantastic, Dad, just fantastic.” He then turned to his brother and asked, “What’s been going on with you while I was away?”

The youner son said, “You should have been here last week. I was driving the old truck to market with 10 50-pound bags of corn. I was five miles away from the market when that old truck just stopped working. So, I grabbed all the bags, put them on my shoulders and ran all the way to the market in just twenty minutes.”

To this the older son responded, “That’s fantastic, brother, just fantastic.”

And before he could ask his mother the same question he put to his father and brother, she asked her older son, “Son, you were gone four years and I’m sure you worked and studied hard. Can you tell me what the most important thing is you learned while you were away at college?”

The older son pondered for a moment, then looked his mother straight in the eye and told her, “Mom, I think the most important thing I learned was to say ‘fantastic’ instead of ‘bullshit’.”

Ha! Rather a propos, after all. (And, though I’ve been a college professor for thirteen years, only now can I accurately interpret what some students say.)

The felon accidentally tells the truth.

You’re right, you convict. You didn’t make a mistake. You posted that racist trash on purpose because, get this, you’re a racist.

He doesn’t say he’s not racist, just that he’s the least racist.

I can believe that. After all, it’s been one mighty long year thanks to him.

And here’s another court order the felon and his flacks are refusing to obey.

Felon the felon pardoned avoids jail for felony.

What next - the Trumpanooga Choo-Choo?

A train? That would be in the Epstein files.

To my shame, I chortled.

I’m proud to say my mind is not in the gutter. It’s right here in the sewer!

From one of Monty’s links:

They’ll also be naming part of Penn Station after him.

Wow. We use the word “permission” almost metaphorically, to refer to how Trump’s behavior enables dangerous assholes.

But this is just straight-up permission. Please, sir, commit as many crimes as you’d like.

Have you heard this one? The sole reason for abducting Maduro was to get him to admit that he rigged the 2020 election.
It’s batshit crazy, but then what isn’t these days.

Who’s 2020 election? Trump is fishing for ideas.

You don’t remember there were conspiracy theories about Venezuela helping rig the 2020 election?

There’s also one about Italy, so if the Italian PM (or the Pope) is abducted too, that’ll be why.

Exactly. Everyone laughed at the jibe and it stung. He can’t abide being the butt of even a small roasting.

If you want to be a true patriot and show your true appreciation for the 250 year celebration that’s coming up, you can now join Freedom 250 (NYT article) for a mere $1M. It’s the latest Trump grift, promising White House access to those poor folks who are mere millionaires instead of billionaires.

No. We know Russia did.
