The Trump Administration: The Clusterfuck Continues (Part 2)

At least he had the humility (gag) not to be wearing the MOH.

I’m not betting he knows the difference.

You don’t think he’d know the difference between a medal pinned on a pocket and the one he TIED around the latest recipient’s neck?

You’d think that those tiny fingers would make knot tying easier but apparently they don’t.

You know whom we’re discussing, right?

Normally I’d concede the point, but Diaper Don wants the MOH so bad he keeps hinting that maybe he’ll award it to himself, so I think he knows the difference. If not, we’ll just pin a grape soda cap on his chest and call it good.

Antibiotics? Those are awfully “woke,” aren’t they? No doubt RFK Jr will be going after those next.

The marrying man’s choice of another marrying man’s wife to chair a commission is not going over well.

Is it too much to hope for a few cases of syphilis to hit this administration?

That’s one of my wife’s and my favorite quip.

But leprosy? Oh. Come. On.

I am currently reading The Great influenza, by John M. Barry. I can warmly recommend it. What surprised me the most is that, believe it or not, President Ineptstein’s levels of corruption, incompetence, and stupidity are nothing new in US politics. In fact, he stands on the shoulders of giants.
So next should be a really deadly strain of influenza, of course.

That sounds really cool. Let’s see whether I can squeeze it in somewhere.

You don’t have to inspect too closely, i don’t think.

Make America Grift Again.

But seriously, sure-- corruption, incompetence, and stupidity are nothing new in US politics, that’s absolutely true. But let’s give trump a little more credit here…I believe he has brought the levels of such to astonishing new heights, never before seen.

Judging from the lunacy that is the White House, I’m not sure it hasn’t already.

Indeed - there was a record high 36 confirmed cases of leprosy in Florida in 2025. Seems that 10-banded armadillos have been one of the main sources.

Pretty much this.

During and after the first term, there may have been an argument to be made that a couple of the more notably corrupt administrations of the past may have been worse in some respects. I actually debated some folks who did just that (I thought Trump took things to new levels of depravity but I was open to the thesis at that point).

But now? A year and a half into the 2nd term? There’s not much of an honest debate to be had about it. Things went south with astonishing speed. He’s the giant upon whose shoulders future incompetence and corruption will be based and measured against and who has crushed the so-called giants of the past beneath the massive girth of his turpitude

< slowly puts down the armadillo he’s been licking and backs away >

Wait, 10 banded? Is that some subspecies unique to Florida? We’ve got the nine banded variety (though they can have fewer or more than 9 bands) down here in Texas

the crew became the victim of an electronic warfare exercise being conducted at the nearby White Sands Missile Range, a test which rendered their navigational system inoperable.

Too slow. Tertiary syphilis can take years to manifest.
