The Trump Administration: The Clusterfuck Continues (Part 2)

You have them there too? Here we have people who would be brutalized by ICE on sight complaining about “the browns” without the slightest bit of self-awareness.

I am really surprised that he’s back sitting at the prosecutor’s desk. I expected them to make him supervisor over the region, if not a special assistant to Kristi Noem.

Actually… I thought the worker called him a “pedophile protector”. Not that it matters. And I could be wrong. Or mis-remembering.

You are correct. He did.

Orangeanus finally gets his Peace Prize:

Easiest money on the planet right now: bet that Donald will add a third plaque (he has two now) to his entry in the West Wing corridor ‘Presidents’ Row’ that says in huge letters

It’s like some bad comedy where the big doofus on campus somehow heists the trophy from a frat competition from the real winners so he can impress his rich alumni father who thinks he’s a loser (and he’s right). Only I don’t think anybody is going to learn any valuable life lessons

And that’s probably the best way to phrase it.

He’s just holding it; he never earned it.

Oh, so close… but No.

Doesn’t matter. “It’s mine now” is all we’ll hear. Vance is probably having it re-ingraved with his name on it now. :grinning_face:

It will have to be re-sized too or it will never fit up his pants.

Can you say Enrico Tarrio?(sp?) I expect to see him in the leopards eating faces or the schadenfreude thread.

Possession is 9/10ths of the law, or if you are Trump and above the law, 10/10ths.

…sure thing, grandpa, let’s get you to bed.

First member (after the U.S., of course): Venezuela.

Plans are to add Greenland, Canada, and Panama in the near future.

(I wish that this was entirely sarcastic…)

The Board of Peace Wiki page has already been updated and it’s a sad as you’d expect,

No doubt Rip van Simple believes that’s a positive outlook. What it means though is possession is 90% of proof of guilt.

And also no doubt he thinks that last word is gilt.

This just occurred to me. Maybe Ms. Machado gave him the trinket just to shut him up. You’ll notice she didn’t give him her Václav Havel Human Rights Prize.

Another thing that occurred to me is that the felon doesn’t want the Nobel Peace Prize for the honor, the prestige, or of course on merit. He wants the 11,000,000 krona ($1,193,511).

US military base in Greenland upgraded.

So, what do you think the response from our soon-to-be former allies in NATO is to all of this saber-rattling/grandstanding by Rip van Simple and his Simpletons? Do tell. (Check my bolding and attendant comment at the end.)

WTF? The Simpletons are treating the handover of Greenland as something that absolutely will happen and they’re just discussing details of the dismantling of one of our allies.

Rip van Simple finally got around to the concept of a plan to replace ACA.

That’s a plan? What drugs is he on?

I interrupt this thread to inject a question which nobody has been able to answer for years: Why doesn’t the United States have the same national health insurance plan as South Korea?. Back in 2008, I posted about being hospitalized in Korea. I was in the hospital for almost a month. My share of the costs? About US$1,500 for the entire time in the hospital.

I now return you to the thread.

Let’s continue with Rip van Simple’s “plan”. The article continues:

That’s the plan! You are on your own. But, hey, the feds will send you some cash. How much? Are you familiar with the word pittance?

Cruella de Vile’s new manta is “Show your papers”. And she’s not even saying “please”.

Rip van Simple doesn’t know how long he’s been trashing the Oval Office.

& (The bolding is mine.)

That’s enough for one day.

Yep. That’s what they think. I saw this yesterday on a predominantly right-wing/Trumpist message board. The thread is titled, “Can vance/rubio [sic] nail the deal today…???” Text of the OP follows:

No question that Greenland will be owned by the US; just have to work out the details and draw up the papers.

He does want that prize. Have you seen the Oval Office? It is absolutely festooned with gold plated doo-dads and this is yet another doo-dad he can add. And probably the most important gold-plated doo-dad to this peacenik president.

To me this is reminiscent of Trump course golf tournament wins that he gives himself every year. Everyone knows he didn’t win the tournament, no reasonable person would feel any sense of accomplishment for getting the win under these circumstances but for some reason he values them.
