The Trump Administration: The Clusterfuck Continues

Department of GOP Extremism. Have Doge on it doing something extreme, I’m not sure how you’d portray that.

Now I want it as a song. “Voulez-vous coucher avec la loi, ce soir?”

Voulez-vous déchirer la loi, ce soir?
Voulez-vous déchirer la loi?

We met Peau Tchîteau down in Mer à Lageaux…

Get AI to create an image of a DOGE dog humping a leg.

Or, if you want it less acceptable (but more true to reality), have the DOGE dog humping a person.

Hah, Trump seems none too happy to be interrupted, be called on his BS by the “charming” French President Emmanuel Jean-Michel Frédéric Macron and his attempt to save face afterwards with ‘so long as we get our money’

Boy, just to see those 2 side by side, even with the sound off - who would choose to be represented by the slouching sneering guy?

Different subject - anyone hear an update as to the “deferred resignation” program? AFAIK, it was not available to my shop - or the majority of my Agency. But I thought a court declined to stop it, and the open period was to have ended a couple of weeks ago.

Sure, there is a lot going on, that it is hard to keep up with all of it. But I’d think that by now there would at least be an estimate of how many folk were going to be going on admin leave in the near future. I saw on Reddit that some folk have been told their admin leave would begin this Friday…

Perhaps pull a collective Joe Wilson and yell “you lie!” in unison.

I generally like that the Democrats (certainly as a general rule if not to a person) tend to display much more class and decorum than Republicans.

However, I would absolutely laugh out loud if they pulled something like that.

Make it like the stands in a football game. Give them each a card that says “Lie” on one side. Then, they each hold it up one after the other, for each lie he tells. Eventually, they’ll all be holding up signs saying “Lie”, so on the next lie, they flip them over to show one giant sign that says something like “All Lies!”

Wanna be a US citizen? That’ll be $5 million. Russian oligarchs welcome.

I’m envisioning a game show.

Yeah, possibly. Hey. I know some Russian oligarchs that are very nice people.

Fuckin’ of course he does.

Mocking on social media doesn’t count. This deserves congressional mocking, as laid out in Article I: Mocking POTUS

ETA: To be clear: This is citizenship? Green cards and visas do not give you that. How much to be a natural born citizen? How much to replace the governor of Maine?

How long until,
‘All citizens are equal, but Gold Card citizens are more equal than others.’?

acting as president trump, write a short executive order allowing for instant citizenship for $5 million and natural born status for $30 million

“America First Citizenship Opportunity Act”

By the authority vested in me as President of the United States, it is hereby ordered as follows:

Section 1: Expedited Citizenship Program

  1. Any individual may obtain immediate U.S. citizenship upon the payment of $5,000,000 to the U.S. Treasury.
  2. Such individuals shall receive all rights and privileges of U.S. citizens, except eligibility for the office of President or Vice President.

Section 2: Natural-Born Status Program

  1. Any individual may obtain full natural-born citizenship status—including presidential eligibility—upon the payment of $30,000,000 to the U.S. Treasury.
  2. Individuals granted this status shall be recognized as natural-born citizens retroactively from birth for all legal purposes.

I know this one: 1776.

If these are commodities now, can I sell my citizenship? I have one natural-born citizenship* I’m not really using and am willing to sell. For two million you can have it, and I’ll even throw in a Social Security number.

*by current Constitutional standards

You think Trump knows that?

It’s frightening that it does not matter. Just tell me he cannot executive order this and if he does, that John Roberts and 17 non-MAGA GOP senators will be amenable to finally impeaching him.

ETA: Oh, he did say “route to citizenship” so this will just be another court challenge, though who does the ACLU argue for?

It seems to me any link to news posted here in reference to this cluster of an administration should be preceded by:

THIS IS NOT AN ONION STORY!

From your link:

“We’re gonna be selling a gold card,” said Trump. "You have a green card, this is a gold card.

This is more proof he thinks money is all he cares about, and how he’s worshiping the almighty dollar, aka the greenback. Wait until he finds out the front of the greenback is <dare I say it?> black.

Green cards are for those people, the little people. <color=yellow>gold cards are for his kind of people and no doubt will be for citizenship instead of being a visa.

He’s not going to replace the governor of Maine. He’ll appoint himself and then delegate the responsibility to Musk, of course!

Hey! What about the Canadians when they become the 51st sate by presidential fiat? Will they be considered natural born citizens or will they have to pay for that status?

Now we’re getting a game show. Citizens voluntarily put up their citizenship to the oligarchs money and they fight to the death.
