The Trump Administration: The Clusterfuck Continues

Yes, I get a lot of Trump supporters telling me Trump didn’t say something he literally said on camera in front of a crowd. Because the methodology is simply “Assume that which you wish to be true is true, and that which you wish to be untrue is untrue”.

Here’s my little ‘canned’ comment on that subject – from back when I used to participate in a rather mixed comments section:

What’s amazing is how often we have/had Trump in his own words, on tape, or video evidence of the 1/6 insurrection, or the transcripts of Trump’s “perfect call” with Zelensky, or the phone call with Georgia Secretary of State, Brad Raffensperger: “I just want to find 11,780 votes.”

Or the tapes of interviews with Bob Woodward.

Or the Access Hollywood tape.

Or “I’M COMING AFTER YOU!”

And the bombshell revelations from the Dominion lawsuit.

And the Mar-A-Lago documents case, including the audiotape of him sharing the military plan for invading Iran (at Bedminster).

In every single case, Trump’s supporters will tell us that we’re wrong … that we didn’t see or hear what we thought we saw and heard. With our own eyes and ears.

“Gaslighting is a form of psychological manipulation in which the abuser attempts to sow self-doubt and confusion in their victim’s mind. Typically, gaslighters are seeking to gain power and control over the other person, by distorting reality and forcing them to question their own judgment and intuition.”

Trust your eyes. Trust your ears. Don’t trust the propaganda and outright lies that come from the MAGA crowd, Trump’s lawyers, and the craven media handmaidens enabling them.

Borrow $100 from them; you know what to say when they ask for it back.

They will say, “Fuck you, asshole!” because that ploy ONLY works when they do it.

My High School history class was taught by the football coach. He spoke with a really weird cadence and inflection. The entirety of WWII was summed up thus: “Stay away… from the tanks! Every… Body likes to shoot at the tanks!”

This was immediately followed up by his experience with ordering beer while stationed in Germany. Holding up your index finger got you two beers, when you only wanted one. To get one, you need to hold up your thumb. He spent about 3 times longer on the latter than the former.

:laughing:

Trump is selling guitars now.

I know people say you can’t tell reality from parody any more, but genuinely in 2024 when it comes to trump, his grifts and his appointees, you really can’t.

What would be too absurd at this point?

Good governance and human decency?

Haha sadly true. The onion should do an article about a day where maga solved a real issue and engaged in thoughtful rhetoric.

That’s not quite the mnemonic device I learned, but it works! :rofl:

Oh, very good.

I’m trying to learn to play, but nerve damage has made two fingers on my left hand numb. I can probably figure it out.

Wasn’t there a promiscuous girl named violet?

‘I never met Violet, I call her va-va-va-Vi, and she not my type.’ ~ DJT

Nope. Just a dumb guy named Eddie who ate some explosives and is no longer with us.

That would be the biggest hit to the collective IQ of the Senate since the election of Tommy Tuberville.

Every time I see a link to Raw Story about Trump or his flacks, I cannot help reading it as Raw Onion Story.

I’m honestly expecting DeSantis to appoint himself.

It may help to have someone incompetent and uniquely unqualified to run anything be the head of the people in charge of his safety.
