The Trump Administration: The Clusterfuck Continues (Part 2)

Yet another revelation of corruption in the Epstein-Trump Administration. Such a high quality individual doing payola for the US Grift of America.

Actually, on the campaign trail, he said, “I don’t care about you. I just want your vote.”

Purgatory? More like Hell.

And the gum’nt’s response?

The felon’s puppet in the House has an odd take on Democrats.

And we now have Agent Double Oh Nothing!

There’s a man who leads a life of golfin’
in everyone he meets he sees a target
with every move he makes another chance he takes
odds are everthing he says now hel’’ forget

Wow! The Senate grew a spine.

And they took it out for a walk in public!

Like remaining silent, the felon has the right, he does not have the ability. Same goes for him doing the right thing.

I am so stunned I cannot even try to think of a pithy label for this blatant and proud racism from the Second Felonial Era. (The bolding is mine.)

Paris has Tour Eiffel and what is the US getting? Yep, Arena Awful.

O Canada!

Not to worry, though. The felon and his flacks have a plan.

(Wipes tear) That’s beautiful, man.

Thanks! And it’s all mine. I did not use any AI assistant.

How fast you get hung up on, or shown the door in a field office, is not the metric any sane person would use to determine if Social Security is delivering better, faster, higher-quality service.

Form one of Monty’s quotes, not from Monty himself:

So much for the “private donations will pay for the ballroom” stuff Trump tried to peddle. I’ve got a feeling that he was planning this all along.

Kinda like how he swore he wouldn’t touch the east wing of the White House, huh.

I was just listening to Trump describing what’s being done “Uh this goes down very deep. You get a better view right over here. This is down. And because we’ve already done these floors, but these are already down two floors. That it’s down about six stories deep. It’s down about six stories deep. That’s big stuff. Normally when you build a ballroom, you build it flat. You just build a ballroom.
You don’t need to dig six stories down to build Trump’s stupid ball room. You do if certain agencies wanted to upgrade the Whitehouse bunker and needed something for Trump to focus on and not leak what’s actually being built.
And we see how that went.

That description reminds me of the underground facility in The Andromeda Strain.

He didn’t lay a finger on it. He used a bulldozer.

Pete Hegseth removes all women and some Black service members from navy promotion list

The US defense secretary, Pete Hegseth, stripped nine navy officers including women and Black service members from a promotion list last month, according to a person familiar with the matter, resulting in an all-male, overwhelmingly white slate of 22 advancing as nominees to become one-star admirals.

Hegseth stepped in to overrule a board of navy admirals that had drawn up the list, the Times said, also removing four white officers. The outlet noted that the list as published, which must be confirmed by the US Senate, bears little relation to the makeup of the force the nominees will lead.

Just some more masks-off racism and sexism.

This nonsense, by which I mean bigotry, isn’t limited to that. For the Reserves, there’s a promotion practice called running mate. That’s when the Reserve officer is paired with an Active Duty officer. The Reserve officer will only be promoted when the paired running mate is. That’s oversimplifying it, but the gist is others are affected by this bigoted decision.

Well, considering the size of the egos of the people who will be attending Trump’s events, they will need a pretty solid foundation to support the weight…

Well … to be fair … I don’t think you (or anybody) can do that anymore.

No longer interested in governing??

Every accusation a confession, indeed. trump is like a scary, unfunny version of a bad sitcom character who is supposedly giving someone else advice about that person’s life, but the more they talk the more it becomes apparent they’re just describing themself.

“I don’t understand how someone can have so little self-awareness.” — Michael Scott

No longer interested in pretending to govern would be more accurate. Trump’s laziness is one of the reasons he’s flouted political norms and laws. He expects to make a delcaration, have other people get things done, and then bask in the adulation of his lickspittles.

From Monty’s AOL link:

What the godfuckingdamn ever-lovin fucking fuck?
What kind of religious argle-bargle response is that?!?!?!

We’re just fucked.

I wrote this fairly early on in Trump’s first administration. IMHO, it’s aging all too well:
