The Trump Administration: The Clusterfuck Continues (Part 2)

With the recent buildup of military force around Iran, this feels once again significant.

Am I the only person petty enough to complain about the inexcusable use of a comma after the word “important”?

Because, to me, that matters. The subclause could use a dash (and even that is unnecessary), in my English opinion.

How about those Epstein file redactions? What about your aiding a convicted sex trafficker? Can you remember any names of the people you pardoned in the past, let’s say, two weeks? Is Hershal Walker one of those people? (Trick question, Demento named him ambassador to Bermuda/Bahamas something like that according to his self..).

Trump insisted. “I can tell you, he gave classified information. He’s not supposed to be doing that. He made a big mistake. He took it out of classified information.”

Jesus fucking Christ what the fuck do you think you just fucking did Donny???

He can unclassify things with his mind, remember? :wink:

I’m amused, in a terrified way, that this board has just now noticed that there’s about to be a war with Iran.

To be fair, “about 15 minutes away from war with Iran” has been the default state during every Republican administration since 1981.

I’m holding out hope that once again Trump will be too chickenshit to actually commit to anything that would require long-term involvement or US casualties or an uncertain outcome, since his ego won’t allow him to accept anything other than “a perfect victory”.

Maybe - hopefully - but the buildup of forces around here has been pretty scary.

To be clear, I have no love for the Iranian government and I would love to see them go away, or make peace with Israel and the U.S. I just don’t think that Trump has anything even resembling a plan that could lead to permanent regime change Instead, the U.S is just going to bomb a bunch of random Iranian targets, kill a lot of people, but keep Iran basically the same as it always is, and in return, the Iranians will launch every missile they have left directly at my house. And I’ve almost paid off my mortgage.

Yeah, pretty much.

When the Wolf Alarm is going off 24/7, it takes people a while to notice when a wolf actually shows up.

He has a concept of a plan.

Nope. He just says he has a concept of a plan.

You are not; however, you did beat me to it. I was in the air on my way back to China.

In my less than humble and somewhat elevated arrogant and egotistical opinion,

I forgive you.

From all the desserts he eats with ice cream on the side.

TWO SCOOPS of ice cream, mind you. Not just one, like the rest of those losers.

I wanted to post a comment like this last night and I was too tired. I was aware of most of those definitions.My uncle used to also say, “Let’s go out and get stiff” then laugh. He meant drunk and then they did. He was a really funny guy. You should have seen his rendition of Alouette in French complete with gestures and uproarious laughing through the whole thing.

The theory I heard was that he’s probably now running his deranged 1am posts through a chatbot to clean up the spelling and syntax, while keeping the tone fully insane. Actually, I thought I first heard that theory from you, Smapti.

Is there a thread in Game Room for 2026 Bingo? I don’t think Trump injecting money to “save” cryptocoins is a legitimate entry – it’s too certain that Trump will do that. The question is HOW?

  • He might simply have government BUY some coins or stock in a bit-mining company, e.g. his son’s. (He bought stock in Intel unilaterally – was that even legal?)
  • To raise money for the crypto purchase, I suppose he might sell some gold and send a double message: “Crypto is the new gold.”
  • Perhaps he’ll make Bitcoin (or someStable-coin(s)) legal tender for taxes due. That would increase the demand for bitcoin, I suppose, especially if he treats bitcoin preferentially.
  • Payments like SocSec could be made (at the option of payee?) in crypto-coin.
  • What else?

Is it inevitable that he will take some such extreme action? He has big donors in the “crypto industry”, and he’s already set up billion-dollar grifts that want Bitcoin price to recover.

He can sell the program to gullible supporters as conjuring money out of nowhere for America’s benefit. Insider trading (with secrecy aided by crypto’s nature) BEFORE the big announcement will yield billions in profits for himself and friends.

What entries do others have on their Bingo cards?

(I’m a novice at using the editor here. For starters, how do I get a larger edit window?)

Also, keep in mind that Donnie is all about headlines and pundits discussing him endlessly and owning the libs.

Actually DOING CONSEQUENTIAL SHIT… umm…not so much unless it generates lots and lots of headlines, punditry, and liberal tears (like cranking up the ICE machine).

A real shootin’ war with bombs and bullets and dead white American boys in flag-draped coffins–not a good look. Much better to keep threatening and stirring the pot.

All my squares have a single German word.
