The Trump Administration: The Clusterfuck Continues (Part 2)

Do they have “puck boys” in hockey like they have ball boys in other sports? Maybe he was there in his role as puck boy.

Hegseth must be beside himself with jealousy.

Melania will chair a meeting of the United Nations Security Council next week. Because, of course she will.

“Mrs. Trump’s leadership will mark the first time a sitting U.S. First Lady presides over the Security Council as members consider education, technology, peace, and security,” the first lady’s office said in a press release.

If so, the money spent would be worth it if he would just keep the puck in Milan.

In the picture at that link, she looks like she’s really looking forward to it.

Seriously, this has got to be a joke!

Hmph. Movie stars have no business sticking their noses into politics. /s

Felon’s frau’s film flack’s fantasy. (The bolding is mine.)

He goes on to mention a few other artists who refused to play with the toddler. Even a dead artist refused.

The war on education is now clandestine. (The bolding is mine.)

The bigot-in-chief resurrects “Go back to where yoyu came from”.

Excuse me, but who among you, Representative Omar, and Representave Tlaib has thirty-four felony convictions?

And Representative Tlaib is alread where she came from: America. She was born in Michigan.

He wants Robert de Niro to go with them.

Robert De Niro also is American-born. Not that it matters to Rip van Simple.

Bongingo defends Peter’s peter manhood.

The entire administration has a quite unhealthy fixation on “manhood”.

Hmmmm.

Edith Wilson and others in the President’s inner circle (including his physician and a few close friends) hid the true extent of the president’s illness and disability from the public. Edith also took over a number of routine duties and details of the executive branch of the government from the onset of Wilson’s illness until he left office almost a year and a half later. From October 1919 to the end of Wilson’s term on March 4, 1921, Edith, acting in a role she later described as a “stewardship”, decided who and which communications and matters of state were important enough to bring to the bedridden president.

Sorry, I know this is very petty- how is it that she knows seven languages (according to Drumpfuck), has lived in the US for however many years, and still sounds like she just got here? Doesn’t really scream ‘chairwoman’.

She moved to the U.S. at age 26; most people who move to another country as adults tend to keep their native accents (though it can attenuate with time), unless they actively try to rid themselves of the accent to sound “local.” I suspect that she hasn’t ever felt the need, or the motivation, to do that.

I understand / agree about accents being harder to shake as an adult. I guess the part I bolded is the crux of what I was trying to say.

When I was on a pistol team in the navy we were using accurized .45ACPs. Among other things, the sear had been worked and springs adjusted so that the trigger pull had been reduced from a GI-resistant 8 pounds to the 2+ pounds needed for target shooting.

Unfortunately this meant that sometimes, releasing the slide would let the hammer drop. SOP for a right-handed shooter was, while pointing down range to use the left thumb to hold the hammer back while using the right to release the slide. One time I forgot and the pistol fired as the slide went home.

With shaking hands I cleared the pistol then sat down for a good ten minutes before doing anything else. I never forgot again.

Talkin’ 'bout slam-fire…

I’ll bet not. Tough way to internalize that lesson, but at least no one got hurt. These things do happen!

Then she should go back there. And tell them what a petulant toddler the president is.

She knows of seven languages, certainly. But I’m guessing her fluency is just Slovenian and English.

That’s two more than her husband.

How so? The entire women’s team managed it, with grace and decorum.

I’m not sure about the English.

I speak (for various rankings of “speak”) a reasonable number, I think 6 or 7* where I am capable of conversation at a basic level.

I do know a large number of insults in each language which, as much as I distain Melania, I would choose to direct to the Idiot In Chief.

Fila da Puta, Donald.

* Mozambique and Angola have dialects that are mutually intelligible with continental Portuguese, but it is bit challenging as a non native Portuguese speaker to work out the accents and variations. Brazil was pretty challenging, I started pidgen and sign-language, because their Portuguese is far more pure than mine.

Which actually leads me to this idea.

Does Donald speak pidgin English? Is this why nobody understands him?

Can someone teach him Spanish?

This is Kansas state government, not the federal Trump administration, but you can see the connections:

Kansas sends letters to trans people demanding immediate surrender of driver’s licenses

Erin in the Morning: Kansas sends letters to trans people demanding immediate surrender of driver’s licenses. All trans people who got their licenses updated to match their gender identity were notified that their licenses had been suspended and that they would have to surrender their now-invalid identification and get new identification marked with sex assigned at birth. Failure to do so could result in being arrested for driving without valid identification, a felony which carries a sentence of six months in prison. Because of the national drivers’ registry, moving to another state will not resolve the issue, as they would have to lift the suspension — by surrendering their previously-valid identification — to apply for a license in another state.

This law was rammed through over the governor’s veto. The law was forced into effect immediately, instead of letting it take effect on July 1 and giving people time to react. Kansas already passed laws forcing trans people into prisons according to sex assigned at birth, rather than gender. This law will kill trans people. And that was the point.

Nah. He speaks 4th grade English.
