The Trump Administration: The Clusterfuck Continues

Only registered Republicans are eligible for the MAGAbux check. Much cheaper, and more bang for the bux.

19 states don’t register voters by party affiliation. Including Texas.

:rofl:

We need to have a reddit-like “remind me” as he says so much garbage and “pretty soon” - and he did it all the time as yet-to-be-felon-45. Eggs will be back “soon”. The USA will be ravaging the lands of Ukraine for rare earth stuff “soon” (if not for the unfunny Nazi Jew) and no more about 51st states or even Greenland.

He’s got Stermer coming in a few days and will have absolutely nothing to say to him, other than having a “we had a great conversation, I mostly disagreed with him yet he had some things to say. And I’ve got an invite to see KCIII so all is good”

I know the king’s job is to be apolitical, but knowing how strongly ol’ Chuck feels about climate change, I just wish he could somehow get permission to throw 300 years of governmental tradition out the window and tear Trump a new one in front of a camera crew.

Knight him, with vigor!

Like this?

I honestly thought this Yahoo link was to an Onion story.

President Donald Trump’s political operation is selling DOGE membership cards, part of an effort to capitalize on the popularity of the White House DOGE office and Elon Musk’s role in it.

“Today, I’m announcing that YOU can become an OFFICIAL TRUMP DOGE MEMBER!” Trump’s political operation wrote in an email to supporters Sunday night.

For a minimum $47 donation, supporters can get their name on a black metal card that says “Trump DOGE member.” If that is too pricy, there are also Trump DOGE T-shirts. One shirt for $40 depicts Trump and Musk. Another for $28 shows Trump, Musk, and the Shiba Inu dog, which inspired the original doge meme.

Hegseth annonces military attorneys will no longer be roadblocks, aka “they will just follow orders”. (The link goes to Yahoo.)

Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth defended the Trump administration’s purge of top military lawyers because they don’t want people in those roles who “attempt to be roadblocks to … anything that happens.”

Fox News Sunday host Shannon Bream brought up the firings, which happened Friday night, in an interview today with Hegseth. She asked him to react to a quote from Georgetown law professor Rosa Brooks, who wrote on X (formerly Twitter) of Trump’s firing three-star judge advocates general: “In some ways that’s even more chilling than firing the four stars. It’s what you do when you’re planning to break the law: you get rid of any lawyers who might try to slow you down.”

And don’t forget to buy your politician membership card!

How cartoonish can they get?

I believe that should read “to monetize the popularity…”

Nah, just follow the old family tradition of taking him on a nice drive in the countryside.

The State of the Union is rapidly approaching. What would happen if the one independent representative and all of the Democrats in both houses refuse to attend?

I think KCIII has too much class to do that. But it would be interesting to see Trump’s reaction if KCIII has to miss a meet-and-greet with Trump, owing to having to open a hospital in Coventry, or is scheduled to attend a gala at an old-age home in Liverpool.

Of course, such appointments need not be on Charles’ calendar, but Trump doesn’t need to know that.

I, for one …

I don’t want to be annoying, but this is driving me crazy. His name is spelled Keir Starmer. You’re the only person talking about him, and yet have gotten it wrong pretty much every time.

Trump would spend the next ten years bragging about how he was the only president to get standing ovations from everyone at the SoTU.

Okay, he’ll probably claim that anyways, but if the Dems don’t show up, he’ll at least be telling the truth instead of lying, for once.

Ah, the Mickey Musk Club.

Yep:

  • We got the Musk email on Saturday.
  • Monday morning, my manager said to hold off replying until we received agency-internal guidance.
  • That guidance arrived around noon Monday, and instructed us to respond to the Musk email.
  • I replied to the Musk email late afternoon. Not ten minutes later, I was seeing in the news that OPM had declared that replying was optional:

Meanwhile, Musk and Trump still insist that not replying could lead to termination.

MAGA idiots will receive their DOGE card and try to start firing people.

My concern is, if that one section of the CBA can be so easily contravened, why would it not be just as easy to ignore any other portion of it? Such as tour of duty or removals? Or the entirety of it?

And any complaint of unfair labor practice would need to go before the MSPB - which would take how many years to decide?

I have a hard time seeing this as merely the “inconvenience” of having to return to office.
