The Trump Administration: The Clusterfuck Continues

Well that certainly sounds like a thing you’d need a security clearance - fairly high level too - yet it wouldn’t take much more than a phone call or a courier with Trump’s sig on it.

At the very least, announcing plans for possible war on China is incredibly stupid.

One could say it’s almost ruthless. (How do they feel about the Pope?)

Answered in this thread, but I wanted to look up the lyrics and these were the top two returns:

I know a quicker method for splitting posts was recently mentioned, yet I am just after doing it the hard way.

Traveling in a fried-out Kombi
On a hippie trail, head full of zombie

No, no. Not that song! And yet another hippie trail I reckon.

Off to Cafe Society:

Sympathy for the Devil and some enigmatic lyrics

So far CDC is at just 30% down, so everyone on earth can breath (if they can) a sigh of relief. God bless America

You fuckers. What have you done?

[Googles] Sorghum beer you have to shake up? How does the taste compare to European/American beers and ales?

Also, thanks to the Rolling Stones explanations. Yet one more reason I love the Dope.

Uh… well. It has the consistency of a thin gruel or soup. It is not beer (as in lager/pilsener/ale) in any way. If you can imagine a thin alchoholic porridge, that may be best. It also smells very much like vomit. It is an aquired taste, you need to work on it to enjoy it.

It is sold actively fermenting, in (orginally) “scuds” with holes in the lids to allow the CO2 to escape. Now, in a break with tradition, it is sold in 2l plastic bottles which can withstand the fermentation gasses.

The very best scud is fresh, served as draught. But three to four day old climbs up the alcohol percentage to around 10 to 12%. It is not as tasty as fresh produce, at around 8% ABV, but…

I’m going to take that as “It’s an acquired taste.”

And not one you really need to aquire, unless you are a Zimbabwean. I mean, I love it, and was delighted when I found a place sellling it here in South Afrrica. Amazing.

Anyway, moving on to Mr. Trump. He’s a non-drinker as far as I know, but his choices and decisions (especially this round) remind me of my worst teen drunken exploits. He has no shame. And not even a hangover to help him with that.

  • i mean… drunkenly white-water rafting while in a plaster cast due to a severely broken leg? Yeah. The Trump admin is even more stupid than I am

He has pretty much always claimed to be a teetotaler, especially after his brother’s alcoholism and alcohol-related death at a young age.

Elmo says it’s not true and we’re gonna prosecute the guy who leaked this classified information.

I.e. it’s true.

Does the owner of twitter/x actually post on his competitors’ platforms?

For ethanol, anyway. There’s strong evidence he’s on other substances. No doubt he’s no shortage of doctors to “prescribe” them.

And the White House was known to be awash in drug abuse in the first term, albeit of the quasi-legal kind with Ronny Jackson signing any scrip they wanted filled.

It’s not true. Also, we’re going to disappear those who leaked this information. Who didn’t leak anything because it’s not true.

This is that free speech absolutism, right?

Eh? That’s a Twitter screenshot.

To Elmo, free speech means “I get to say n_____ as much as I want and nobody is allowed to complain or stop buying my cars”.

Oh. Sorry. I clicked on it and it went to a website that started “cdn.bsky.app” which I assumed was bluesky.

Meanwhile, Trump says that vandalizing a Tesler is punishable by 20 years hard labor in a Salvadorean gulag.

It’s a twitter screenshot being hosted on Bluesky.

Judge rules DOGE must stop rooting through Social Security system on “fishing expedition” for fraud.

In response, the acting head says, well, I guess I’ll just shut down the whole fucking thing then.

Cold-turkey cutoff of millions of people’s benefits should go well.
