The Trump Administration: The Clusterfuck Continues (Part 2)

American coal and gasoline.

And now we know who’s responsible for the bad wildfire smoke monitoring.

Are you surprised?

What’s in a name?

No doubt the convicted felon will try to have United’s license to operate canceled.

Corruption in this administration, unthinkable. Well, maybe not. Let’s go to the FCC.

A couple of the FCC commissioners accepted tickets to the Kennedy Center’s annual awards gala from Paramount shortly after the FCC approved the merger with Skydance media. Olivia Trusty was gifted $12,000 tickets, and Brenden Carr sat in a private skybox. Tickets for those are $125,000.

100 to 1 he doesn’t.

Next, he attacks Iran for not combing their deserts.

Regarding the Blue Angles low pass over the beach crowd that sent chairs, tents, etc .. flying; both the pilot and Commander recognized the error. The administration, no.

That’s the sound of Freedom! Semper fi and Hooyah," Navy Acting Secretary Hung Cao

“That’s the sound people in other countries hear before we kill their people” Me to my kids growing up while jets fly over the house during fleet week.

Lisa Murkowski points out that under Trump’s voter suppression bill, rural Alaskans would have to spend over $1,000 to register to vote.

Since Hegseth has announced mandatory testosterone checks for servicemen and women over the age of 30 a shots if they’re found lacking, it got me thinking. Does someone connected to Trump have an interest in producing and distrubting testosterone? i.e. Where’s the grift going?

Also, a significant number of Trump supporters absolutely hate the idea of forced vaccination. Are they okay with this?

Which would surprise no one.

It’s certainly possible that he really does believe that.

But notice how consistently his Batshit beliefs are spouted when it’s to his advantage:

  • he can charge tariffs (which Americans pay, but who cares—it’s still Donald who has business owners trooping through the Oval Office offering him bribes for exemptions) when he claims that Canadians are at fault for fires due to not raking

  • he can prevent the construction of wind farms that he believes ruin the view from his properties, by claiming to believe that windmills cause cancer

  • he can cut funding to public health by claiming to believe that injecting disinfectant cures COVID, etc.

He claims insane things–and each one, always, leads to an advantage for his own business interests or ability to raid government funds to spend on his own projects.

I’m fairly ignorant of most stuff “medical”, but just how much testostone is a woman supposed to have???

What if the test shows they have too much??? Well, we know the answer…

I’m not sure if he’s including women in the testosterone tests. The reports I’ve read say reporters have asked clarifying questions, but not received an answer.

I don’t think he took a survey before announcing the new program. But the testosterone supplements are going to be voluntary, from what I understand. At any rate, if you don’t like forced vaccinations, the military is not for you.

I suppose the testosterone tests might be, in part, a threat to locate and “out” trans people.

"Trans"formers? A really stupid movie, I guess Kegsbreath believes it is a documentary.

Transformers are real formers.

He never considered women. Never does.

Why not? His boss thinks Hannibal Lecter is a real person.

Only the best peope, edition 999 3/4.

Guess what happens to people who practice good ethical behavior in this administration. (Yes, that’s rhetorical.)

More multitasking: war on foreigners, education, and journalists in one battle.

Here’s one huge problem with this asininity. While my major is technically a four-year degree, it really depends on when you start at the university due to the course rotation. One may end up attending for five years. And that’s not the only major that happens with.

No shit, Sherlock!

That’s enough of the article to clue you in.

Ever heard of doing a job halfheartedly? Here’s the handcuff version.

Maybe he shouldn’t’ve been getting mulligans his whole life.

Whoever it was upthread who said the grifter was upset only because he wasn’t cut in was on the money.

Hey, the boss hallucinates “facts”; why not let the AI legal aide do the same?

A federal judge appointed by Donald Trump scolded the Department of Justice for submitting a court filing that included fake case law, which appeared to have been hallucinated by AI.

The case involved an Immigration and Customs Enforcement detainee who had been granted a bond order that was automatically delayed pending appeal.

The delay had since expired, making the issue moot, Judge Hala Jarbou of the Western District of Michigan wrote Thursday in what should have been a short and straightforward case dismissal.

But Jarbou was also forced to address the DOJ’s response to an earlier court order that cited a non-existent case supposedly from the Sixth Circuit Court of Appeals.

“It seems this citation was likely produced by generative artificial intelligence,” Jarbou wrote. “It should be obvious that any attorney who uses AI must scrupulously review its work product to ensure that the cited cases exist and that the citations accurately and fairly represent the underlying case law.”

He can’t charge a tariff on Canada for wildfire smoke, nor will USAians end up paying for it, because USAians aren’t buying the smoke (well they are but euphemistically and then on US based noxious emissions). What he could do is impose a cross-border penalty, a multinational sanction, an extraterritorial forfeiture et al. on Canada for breeches of US environmental laws, assuming you lot still have them. And that would also require an existing bi-lateral agreement under international law, which the US actively rejects as undermining American sovereignty and it’s Constitution.

The sanction the Canadians would hence ignore, at minimum citing force majeure.

Except to cancel their promotions or force them to retire.

Hmmm…
:thinking:

Didn’t those get Doge’d?
