The Trump Administration: The Clusterfuck Continues (Part 2)

AIUI, still clinging to that song for some semblance of relevancy 40 years later

That do they think of his brother, Enos?

Talk is cheap, Pam. The important thing, is would you take a bullet for him?

This is maddening, though absolutely par for the course for this damned administration.

Bondi is the United States Attorney General. You job is to be the country’s legal protector, lady, not your boss’s.

I watched some youtube videos of that hearing. That woman is unbelievably hostile and defensive of Trump. “Unproffessional” doesn’t even come close to describing her.

This ATTACK MODE has become par for the course for administration officials testifying before Congress. Attack the questioner; deflect; talk over the representative; throw out sound bites and dog whistles for the cult. And above all, don’t answer the question. Contempt citations - alas not while the Republican chairmen are sitting on their hands or have them clasped over their ears.

So is she. He bought her for 25k.

ICE is retreating from Minneapolis.

I’ll believe that when I see it.

Trump says he wasn’t aware that SecComm Howard Lutnick was on Epstein Island, but he heard that he was there with his wife and kids. So…he wasn’t aware he that was there, but he heard that he was there.

Ok, Trump heard that Lutnick brought his kids. To the island home of Jeffrey Epstein. A convicted child rapist. Who raped kids on his island. And Trump was aware of this. And we’re all aware that Trump was aware of this. And that somehow makes Lutnick’s presence better?

Even though Trump wasn’t aware of Lutnick being there in the first place.

Sounds about right, Don. Go take a nap.

Laudable, if not quaint notion.
But the US AG’s role has been to make a full-throated defense of the President regardless of the political colour of the administration for way longer than my memory.

I should point out here that, love her or hate her, Janet Reno, as AG, personally authorized investigations of her “boss,” Bill Clinton, for both Whitewater and the Lewinsky affair.

Conceded.
And there is a line between “full throated defense” and “attack dog”.

But you know, partisans gotta partisan.

And a line between “full-throated defense of Administration policies” and “acting as the President’s personal lawyer” – which is something that Trump has overtly stated he expects out of his AGs.

Care to name even one person in the upper echelons of this embarrasment off a administration who is professional?

The felon’s war on the environment continues.

Rumplethinskin wants to punish some Republicans who grew spines.

I see that I used an extra f there. That sucks, those things ain’t cheap.

Hah! I accidentally used an extra f also. But, to be fair to both of us, there’s a lot of f’s being used in any discussion about Rip van Simple.

You made me scroll back to see what the fuck you used an extra f in and now… there goes more f’s

I’m telling you, those things ain’t cheap.

What are you guys on about? I got boatloads of cheap f’s over here.

F. F. F. F. F. F. F. F. F. F.

I could do this all day.
