The Trump Administration: The Clusterfuck Continues (Part 2)

“In one case we had an interpreter who when she disagreed with what we were saying, she actually changed it. We considered her a foreign minister.”

“I’m not learning your damn language. I don’t have time.”

“We use missiles. You want us to use a missile, they’re extremely accurate. Pheum! Right into the living room. That’s the end of that cartel person.” (So I guess we killed those schoolgirls on purpose, then?)

“We could use [Scott Bessent] for war every once in a while. You know, sooth. But we don’t really want that type of personality for war.”

Hey, Marco Rubio, is it OK for me to take bribes in exchange for endorsements?

More than 9,000 attorneys left their federal government jobs in 2025, including more than 500 at the Justice Department, according to data from the OPM. The government filled more than 2,000 of those positions, for a net loss of 7,044 federal lawyers.

The bloodthirsty piece of crap pretends to be military(ish).

His “numbers” are tanking.

What comic book superhero/supervillain is the felon copying with the shield shown here? And how did the convict talk to other nation’s leaders at the event?

And then he gave them a pointed reminder about what he’s planning in the Americas.

The TL;DR version of that is:

Someone doesn’t understand the concept inherent in the job title.

I know each day is like a century under these idiots, but do you remember way back in the beginning of 2020 when the felon squelched COVID numbers because they made him look bad? It’s deja vu all over again.

Ollie Leavitt doesn’t care about Russia’s part in a war.

It might matter to those who died.

He’s a very cunning linguist!

Here’s a suggestion for you, you convict. If you want someone to translate what you say from English into another language, perhaps you should try saying it in English instead of your trademark gibberish.

A federal judge has ruled that Kari Lake’s appointment to head Voice of America was unlawful and has anulled the layoffs she ordered and all other actions taken by her.

The damage is already done. The real question is who will return to work after getting unlawfully terminated? ISTM, who am definitely not a lawyer, those terminated have an even better case now than before to pursue financial compensation in the courts for said unlawful termination. What saythe boards’s legal experts?

One of the things that I really appreciate about you, @Monty, is that you’re capable of calling a spade a fucking shovel. I agree with your interpretation. Nicely done, and thank you.

@Spoons I’m honestly surprised any of the other nation’s reps showed up after the felon touted (get it?) it as a meeting on how they’ll follow America’s leadership. Whatever whiff was there wasn’t one of mutual respect.

“Diplomacy is the art of saying, ‘nice doggie,’ while you’re looking for a larger rock.”

Got it in one, thanks. Gosh, I have so much to say on this topic (and others like it) that I could probably write an eight-thousand word essay. So in the interests of saving the hamsters from death by exhaustion, I won’t. But I wanted you to know that I understood you perfectly. Thanks again!

I’m surprised they didn’t shout at him and then shoot him for not obeying.

I really can’t post more of it, other than this bit:

Here is the original on Xit:

As a professional interpreter myself I am deeply offended by his tone, attitude, and ignorance. He would be pleased with himself if he knew.

In Heather Cox Richardson’s Substack today, she quoted:

In Need to Know , David Rothkopf today called out the madness of the fact world trade and global security is being shattered by a single man. “Not since Adolf Hitler blew his brains out in a bunker beneath the garden of the German Reich Chancellery on April 30, 1945, have the lives of so many people around the world been so buffeted by the psychosis of a single man.”

Why has Trump launched a war against Iran on a whim, attacked other countries, and upended world trade, Rothkopf asked. “Because he’s insane. Because he’s venal. Because he’s a malignant narcissist. Because he’s a sociopath. Because he has a fragile ego. Because those around him exacerbate and play to those traits to advance their own interests. Because CEOs and investors do likewise to fill their coffers. Because to some people, whether he is insane or malevolent or repugnant or not matters less than whether his actions will feather their nests, increase their power.

My bold.

Sing it, brother!!

:face_with_symbols_on_mouth:

I want to see this kind of strong, no-holds-barred language used in the mainstream media! It’s refreshing and completely accurate.

And we wouldn’t be here if the media had been more forthright in the 2010s.

I’d settle for The Apprentice concept getting shitcanned rather than broadcast.

He left out, “Swallowed his bullshit.” There are tens if not hundreds of millions of Americans out there who aren’t getting anything out of voting for him but pwning the libs. I hope they enjoy their $5 gas.

Thanks to Heather’s post, I went to Rothkopf’s site and read the entire post - and subscribed. I urge everyone to read it. It’s long-ish, but worth every single word. Phenomenal.

Very well written piece.

The BBC just showed a $20,000 Iranian Drone (basically a delta-winged V2 carrying a warhead compared to the cost at least $250,000 for a Patriot or two, as the first has a non-zero chance of missing and or blowing up a barracks.

Mad King Donald proclaims that he’s not signing any more legislation for the rest of his presidency unless the SAVE Act (which doesn’t even have 50 votes in the Senate, let alone the 60 needed to break a filibuster) passes.

Great Job by hard working Scott Pressler on Fox & Friends talking about using the Filibuster, or Talking Filibuster, in order to pass THE SAVE AMERICA ACT, an 88% issue with ALL VOTERS. It must be done immediately. It supersedes everything else. MUST GO TO THE FRONT OF THE LINE. I, as President, will not sign other Bills until this is passed, AND NOT THE WATERED DOWN VERSION - GO FOR THE GOLD: MUST SHOW VOTER I.D. & PROOF OF CITIZENSHIP: NO MAIL-IN BALLOTS EXCEPT FOR MILITARY - ILLNESS, DISABILITY, TRAVEL: NO MEN IN WOMEN’S SPORTS: NO TRANSGENDER MUTILIZATION FOR CHILDREN! DO NOT FAIL!!! President DONALD J. TRUMP

He didn’t thank us for our attention to this matter, though, so maybe it doesn’t count.

Somebody might want to explain Article I, section 7 (paragraph 2) to him.

Never mind. Explanations only work on people with a functioning frontal cortex.
