The Trump Administration: The Clusterfuck Continues (Part 2)

The Vice President of the United States is a dipshit who lets firecrackers explode in his hand.

Literally, per his own confession.

This is a good use of AI: you turned Donald’s brain-droppings into something akin to poetry! Very nice.

Tsk, tsk! It’s SI, not AI. Stands for Stupid Idiot :smirking_face:

It’s not her fault she can’t do the job; the press is bunch of meanies.

The felon has stake in the Cheesecake Factory.

Judge warns the convict-in-the-oval to stop threatening election workers.

The wantond destruction continues as the felon refuses to follow court order.

Yep, the felon’s getting sued again.

Loser gave loser visa.

That would a no, then.

Remember how the felon is conniptioning about a candidte he says is tricking the electorate? Of course one he’s endorsining another contest gets a pass.

Really, now? Let’s go to the record!

Where did this idiot get the idea that that was what the job of White House press secretary was???

I have frequent vivid dreams about Neil Young (PM if you want to know why) and he is a very formidable opponent.

From her predecessor, Baghdad Blondie Bob.

Or that it is the media’s job to facilitate it.

When my oldest brother was a cadet at West Point, he taught me one cadet slang term: tangent. That woudl be someone who got the bare passing score. There is nobody in the administration who fits even that meaning. At best, and it’s a very weak best, they are tangent only in the sense of having been in the room, essentially a simple geometrical meaning of tangent.

Take Hegseth for example. He was in the military but the military was not in him. He’s absolutely incompetent. If you are not convinced by that, cross over the 14th Street Bridge and, if you hate your eyes, look at RFK Jr. whose closest qualifying experience was connected to the environment (and I’m not talking about the road kill). He has nothing else, literally nothing else. And, of course the prime example of this is the felon currently disgracing the most important office in the world.

Secretary of War Crimes and Men’s Testicles fires another one.

What’s the over-under on the felon-in-the-oval not realizing General Sylvia is male?

I was thinking that before I got to the bottom of your post.
‘Lt. Gen. Sylvia, Brett? Sylvia? FIRE HER!!!’

I’d give odds the felon calls the general “Brettany” by midnight Friday.

Oh, I like it. I was a draftsman and then a GIS pro doing land/property. Tangent is an important term, but mostly fits these idiots.

Though ricochet sort of works too.

Merriam Webster-
Ballistics & Physics: A projectile bounces off a surface at an angle instead of penetrating it. Deflected bullets or fragments can still retain dangerous velocity and cause collateral damage

Though, I wouldn’t call the damage ‘collateral’ in this case.

Hey! Hey! Hey!

Ricochet Rabbit was one of my cartoon heroes when I was a young 'un.

Oops! Is this a case of “you get what you pay for.”
:face_with_peeking_eye:

Pentagon watchdogs have received at least five
reports of fraud, safety issues, bad parts or
ethics concerns involving President Donald Trump’s Qatari dream jet and Boeing’s Air Force
One replacement program at Port San Antonio.

Since late 2024, the Defense Department’s
inspector general’s office has logged four
complaints and one disclosure from Boeing Co.
involving problems with the presidential
aircraft programs, according to 90 pages of
newly released records.

The heavily redacted documents provided to the
San Antonio Express-News reveal previously undisclosed allegations and at least one
criminal investigation potentially involving the presidential jets.

Pentagon and service IG offices investigate fraud, waste and abuse, but typically do not
discuss ongoing cases or unsubstantiated claims.

The complaints came from
anonymous sources, including a Boeing employee in Everett, Wash., and a Pentagon
contract analyst in San Antonio. The records do not show whether any of the
allegations were substantiated.

At least two of the cases appear to be ongoing. Four were referred to Pentagon or Air
Force criminal investigators for review.

…

Details follow here about the specific complaints/problems…

…
Trump has been using the Qatari jet for his travel, including campaigning for
Republican candidates in the midterm elections. The aircraft is expected to go out of
service sometime this fall for more upgrades that Trump has described as getting it
“maxed out.”

Trump defends accepting the gifted jet, which was valued at $400 million before the
Air Force invested an estimated $400 million in upgrades. The Air Force has said that
funding for the work, which some have estimated to be as much as $1 billion, came
from leftover funds from the Sentinel nuclear missile program.

“When you’re given gifts, you take ’em, right? When they give you a 747, you say two
words: ‘Thank you,’” he said of the Qatar jet during a rally earlier this month in
Bullhead City, Ariz.

He told the crowd he had learned that Qataris had “the best of all the 747s” and said
he’d asked the country’s emir if he could borrow the jet before the leader instead
offered it as a gift.

Line break weirdness due to copying from a pdf.

The head of war strategy and planning was fired? But he did such a fine job regarding Iran!

You mean he did a fine job getting run over by that bus? That seems to be the main qualification for high ranking officers these days.

Yeah, it seems weird. Like they somehow fired someone that was demonstrably incompetent. So unlike these idiots.

That’s my question - was he actually incompetent?

If the boss says “Hey, go attack Iran tomorrow or the day after, it’ll be easy to win!”, it doesn’t really matter who was in charge of strategy or planning. That boss is not letting that person do their job of actually handling strategy or planning properly (in which they would probably say - hey, this isn’t a good idea but if we go in, we shouldn’t do it that way) and just looking to blame somebody for their own personal failings.
