The Trump Administration: The Clusterfuck Continues (Part 2)

Me, too.

And I adore lingenberries.

The iDJiT – as a distraction and/or attempt to boost his approval rating, I assume – is giving days off to the entire Executive Branch on Wednesday and Friday.

I am SURPRISED, ASTONISHED, FLABBERGASTED…
They won’t make the deadline for release.

From that NPR article:

So, it’s the “in two weeks” Trump meme. :wink:

They were better with the horse meat as one of the ingredients :astonished_face: :grinning_face_with_smiling_eyes:

Taken together, these are code for Ain’t never gonna happen. No way. No how.

Of course the problem with naming any going concern–whether public utility, museum, or any other–after Donald, is that it carries an unwarranted implication that Donald should be associated with a legal and functioning entity.

More appropriate would be naming him after a concern that’s illegal and unable to sustain itself for more than a few minutes. Maybe the Donald J. Trump Purchase of Heroin at 23rd and Main Street at 3am.

And today his name was added to the building. They can’t even be bothered to pretend it wasn’t already planned before the “vote”.

When MacArthur got started back in 1942 it was originally Islip Airport then renamed in honor of Dugout Doug when he ran away.

This is how the trump administration continues to test the guardrails, in ways both small and large, and continues to find them…flimsy.

Particle board.

TrumpRx? There has to be some grift in this concept of a plan.

I notice vaccines aren’t in that CoaP.

This is no surprise.

Ah, it’s just performative. Next year’s an election year, of course.

The United States government’s official position now is white men are suffering from discrimination.

Let me give you my take on this nonsense. The US has systemically discriminated against Blacks, women, ethnic minorities, and LGBTQIA+ for generations. This announcement from two top figures in what’s passing for the executive branch today removes any hope for those who are currently suffering from workplace discrimination to have their cases decided impartially, if they’re even lucky enough to get it to an actual hearing.

The purpose of this, of course, has nothing to do with helping white males. It has everything to do with minimizing, negating even, the contributions and the value the aforementioned groups bring to the workplace and society in general.

In short: the cruelty is the point. The racism is just the cherry on top.

If they still have any vote, please remove the word Kennedy everywhere, signage, literature. Let is just be Trump.

TrumpRx. Trump talking about himself in the 3rd person. Trump Tower (at least he didn’t rename The Plaza before he bankrupted it), his really shitty casino’s in Atlantic City, the extreme waste dump called Donald J. Trump State Park in New York.

I know he’ll eventually get a “library” in Florida, entry fee a cool $100 wearing a pre-bought red-hat extolling him. Also only $100.

Yet I hope to see the day where that is the only place to see his name. No airports. No highways. No bridges. Nothing. And as someone suggested I think upthread here, I hope his grave is in Florida and not despoiling Arlington Cemetery.

I do recall reading one of Trump’s former toadies describing similar habits from back before he even had a reality show. Even when Trump was running his successful real estate empire, he’d spend an inordinate amount of time on the tiny minutia involving household decorations. The specific example I remember is Trump poring over the types of curtains he wanted hanging in one of his buildings.

You’d think a business mogul, and president, would have better things to do with their time. But Trump uses his surroundings to project a particular image of himself as successful. He’s not outgrown that.

Forgive me if this has been mentioned. (Just got back from dinner.) I heard that the ‘vote’ to rename The Kennedy Center was not unanimous. Sure, all of the votes were ‘Aye,’ but anyone whom TPTB sensed might vote ‘Nae’ was put on Mute and not allowed to vote.

So I guess you can only get these discounts if you buy your meds from TrumpRX. And, of course, the red, white and blue label on the bottle will say “Thank you President Donald J. Trump!” I wonder if he can get them to stamp TRUMP on every pill?

The felon’s self-adulating naming of things reminds me of three things.

The first is some pulpish Science Fiction story I read years ago. I only recall it vaguely. On some planet, the entire population was redheaded and everyone was surnamed Johnson, the name also being used as an oath (“For Johsnon’s sake!”)

The second is a scene from History of the World: Part I. The cavemen, after stepping in some dinosaur dung, decided the dung needs to be named. I can’t remember what they decided, so let’s go with dlog. As these cavemen continue their migration, they encounter an Asian man who’s fluent in English (being a native English speaker, of course). The group, including the Asian dude, encounter a huge pile of dung and the cavemen call it dlog. The English-speaking dude says, "It’s not dlog; it’s shit). Then the cavemen raise their clubs in his face. The guy responds, “Yep, dlog it is!”

Third, are you familiar with the Sadim Touch? It’s very much like the Midas Touch. In case you’ve forgotten, the Midas Touch is when everything one touches turns into gold. The Sadim Touch has everything touched turned into dlog.

And, that my friends, is an old story which 100% accurately describes one thing the felon does regularly.

Caveman, not History of the World, Part One. The word they argued over was “zug-zug.” The word meant the act of sex.

I distinctly remember someone stepping in crap.

That really does describe this disaster of an admiistration, doesn’t it?

Someone really wants to go to jail for the felon.

They could make a start by stamping trump on every suppository. The could also dye them orange and make then a tad smaller.
