The Trump Administration: The Clusterfuck Continues

Well, this one stands out…

Sort of. They’re both really bad at big numbers. They like the ‘concept’ of giving everybody a big check with Trump’s name on it.

But like always, they’re just spit-balling, knowing nobody will call them on their bullshit. They were floating 20% of their ‘savings’? Well, they haven’t “saved” $2T, and even if they did, that still wouldn’t amount to $5000 for everybody.

It won’t fall out of the sky, most of the modifications don’t impact the airworthiness.

It’s far more likely to have a fire on board when Trump’s fabric swatches get lit on fire by static build-up.

You do realize that this meme was started as a joke, and the joke is the date of Feb 30th, right?
Think about it.

I think it’s hysterical that the MAGAverse is repeating it without getting it, though.

DOH! I guess this makes me as dumb as a maga supporter.

I’ll go get my red cap.

This is more a Factual Question than a pitting, but I’ll throw it out here: is this really a 1st Amendment problem? “Congress shall make no law…freedom of the press.” Trump hasn’t stopped the AP from printing anything they want; they’re just making it harder for them to do their job. Is there a precedent that covers this?

So no chat here about “Kraznov” - Trump being recruited as an assset for the KGB in 1987?

My brother emailed me about it, I had to google for it - not on their main news page. I told him even if hi-def video with sound from MI-6 or the FSB (former KGB) is released, it will either not be commented on or Trump and Musk will laugh off the ridiculousness of it. Fakiest fake news ever faked.

It’s way too late for kompromat. Trump is impeach-proof. If Putin testified at Impeachment 3 and said it’s all true, they still won’t get 66 votes. Trump will never resign. If steroids can keep him alive long enough, he will still be President in six-plus years.

This is the SDMB. We don’t believe claims without evidence, no matter how much we’d want to.

My main point was you can pile high all the evidence and even have Putin say it’s true, yet they won’t get 66 votes in the Senate.

There’s a thread about the Kraznov thing in P&E:

Thanks. Looks like everyone there is as jaded as I am.

I’m mostly convinced that, even if Russia did release something huge about Trump, like being verifiably a pedophile, or something like that, being a pedophile would just become the latest fashion among the MAGA set.

They ‘consented’, their parents gave their ok, they were asking for it, he was older than they claimed, etc.

It may be impossible to overestimate the capacity of the human mind to justify any act, no matter how depraved.

I would expect them to just go with, “It’s not illegal if the president does it, which means it’s not illegal.

Token sum, heh. Maybe we’ll all be paid with DOGE coin, or even better… Trump meme coin!!! Checks with giant signatures are so 2020.

It already is.

With the economy crashing and burning all around us, idiot MAGAs would still be going on about how great Trump is because he sent us all a check. These people will never see the truth.

You are quite right. Instead:

I was expecting that the FBI director (Patel) would just be the guy who makes the Maga/pro-Trump speeches while the Deputy director would be an experienced guy who does the actual work of running the FBI–but I was wrong.

Why is Dan Bongino?

(That’s not a typo. That’s the actual question.)

trump: “Hold my diet coke!”

Oh c’mon, that was just a typo. The actual, for reals date is February 29, 2025.

The date is a joke, but the idea that Trump was going to hand out checks to everyone started before he was elected.
