The Trump Administration: The Clusterfuck Continues (Part 2)

And the Amazon will soon become our cherished 51st state!!1 !!!1!! !!!1

And yet somehow not the stupidest example of lebensraum he’s attempted

Good freaking god.

If you could just tell him that the Gulf of Mexico is deeper than the height of any skyscraper, that would probably be good for a few dozen or more tweets.

You mean the Gulf of A******, right? (I refuse to use that abomination of a re-naming)

Republicans, what the FUCK have you done to my country?

What a fucking child.

It’s not like we don’t have a mess of a war in the Middle East, or a mess of an economy with skyrocketing gas and grocery prices, or a wildly unpopular and likely illegal settlement to bribe traitors and insurrectionists, or the Epstein files, or midterm elections that are 6 months away etc…

I, for one, am so glad that everything in the country is going so fucking well right now that our president has the time to compare the length of a body of water to the heights of skyscrapers. Complete with a visual aid. Because that’s obviously what’s fucking important right now.

Trump: LOOK OVER THERE!!!

And someone actually made the chart! (and did a nice enough job, too.) I wonder how proud they are. 5 years of art school and I made that.

I got nothin’.

With that and his constant “dancing” to YMCA, I really think he’s trying to tell us something…

I refuse to use it, too. It is strictly Gulf of Mexico for me.

That’s why I chose it as an example. Trump would likely lose his lunch if he heard someone say “Gulf of Mexico”.

“Golfo de México” might even be better. :slight_smile:

By the way, I ran across someone who was worried that if we had a big drought, the water in the Gulf of Mexico would all evaporate and there would be no more Gulf of Mexico.

It’s had to imagine anyone that stupid.

Well, that’s what it’s fucking called.

Now that one isn’t real.
(He didn’t actually post it, I mean)

(Emphasis mine.)

Two nits with which I shall pick:

  1. It’s not likely illegal, it is illegal, because it was created without express Congressional authorization. Moreover, it diverts the money from the Judgment Fund, intended for court judgments and settlements – not for congressionally-unapproved purposes.

  2. It is not a settlement. It is an illegal slush fund. It was not overseen or approved by any court or jury. In fact, his stupid 10 billion dollar lawsuit against the IRS was on the verge of being dismissed by the judge overseeing it when he trotted out this bullshit. Trump has deemed it a “settlement”, but that’s just to make it sound more palatable to his base. It is nothing of the kind, and IMHO, it should not be referred to as such.

I am otherwise in wholehearted agreement with your post!

That’s like the gayest thing since the volleyball scene in Top Gun.

Not that there’s anything wrong with that. To us.

To MAGA? They should be cringing.

Oh, no worries. We are 100% in agreement.

I don’t have the knowledge or background that other posters have regarding federal law or legal terminology so when I comment on such things I just try to couch my language in such a way as to reflect that fact. “To the best of my knowledge…”

I have in fact referenced it as a “slush fund for insurrectionists” elsewhere.

I didn’t see this one here, with a quick keyword search.

We’re all going to be eating cake, fellow Dopers! How freaking cool is that?!?

It is – totally on brand – sickening to watch the footage of Ivanka explaining the plan and the genesis of the plan.

TL;DR: FUJIMO

Good for you. :slight_smile: Using the word, “settlement”, is an effort by Trump to legitimize what he’s doing. It turns my stomach, so I had to say something. Your outrage I get completely!

Can’t bring myself to watch Mrs. Voice-Fry’s “explanation.” At least former President Biden updated our extradition treaty with the Republic of Albania in 2020. Although I expect she and her corrupt husband would just skip over to the UAE.

Damn it, I was looking forward to learning about our new national sport soccerbasketfootball.
