The Trump Administration: The Clusterfuck Continues

“It means food. Not many people know that.”

Remember when Trump told that story about the old woman who came up to the grocery counter with three apples, and the clerk told her the price because that’s how you find out what things cost at the store, and she counted up her pennies and realized she couldn’t afford three apples, so the clerk made her go put the third apple back in the refrigerator while everyone watched?

That was me. I made her do that. And then when she came back with the two apples I didn’t let her buy them anyway because she didn’t have her grocery ID.

You think you’re joking but he’s literally said things like that.

Yep, you definitely wear a monocle. Only someone with a monocle could be so compassionate.

He’s also a small, mean, petty man, and he’s jealous of Justin Trudeau, who is better looking, taller, and who was seen on video mocking him with other world leaders at a function at Buckingham Palace back in 2019. There’s also that photo of Melania with Trudeau still going around, and the warm relationship he had with Obama is just the cherry on the sundae.

It’ll be interesting to see what the relationship with Carney will be like going forward. He’s not starting things off well.

On another note, it occurred to me recently that Elon is sort of doing, digitally to the US, what Pol Pot did to Cambodia.

And having Trump next door is like living next door to the Kaiser.

Less than that. It’s not a CT, though.

Carney having lived in London, I imagine Carney Vs. Trump will go something like this:

25% tariffs on all steel and aluminium, from all countries, going into effect, although a threatened 50% tariff on Canadian steel has been cancelled*.
The next inflation numbers are going to be interesting…

* Reports are saying “cooler heads prevailed”. I think that needs to be corrected to just heads prevailed i.e. anyone with a functioning brain and understanding of trade. Clearly trump believes the more trade the US is doing with a country, the more of an enemy they are.

In today’s paper they report Musk targeting Social Security and other entitlements, citing massive fraud…

Just a perfect example of these fuckers missing a valid target. They are making a lot of changes quickly, apparently dictating to a cowed Congress. If only they took advantage of the opportunity to make meaningful change/improvement to the funding of SS, rather than using claims of nonexistent “fraud” to cause more stress and pain to the most vulnerable persons.

And more who were in LAX a week ago.

So many threads to put this, Ive decided to grace this one with its presence, thank you, feel free to steal and repost:

(From ‘The Soprano’s Guy’ account on Twitter.)

Be funnier if that second pic was from The Umbrella Academy. From the meme that has Five driving past a car that has his siblings in it and they’re all staring in disbelief.

Ahhh, never saw that one.

I misremembered. Just Five and Vanya.

Someone better at photoshop than me needs to pair the photo of Musk and Donny and the one of Five.

Where can we buy cod liver oil stock?

FWIW, I had some blood drawn on Monday, since I don’t have a record of getting an MMR vaccine. I know I’ve had once this century as well as being vaxed as a child), but it’s not on the WA DoH website. Anyway, I’m immune.

You haz immunity? You prezident too?

Don’t you know vaccines don’t work? It all about vitamin A!

I get all my Vitamin A from eating polar bear liver!*

*Just a joke- do not try this at home
