The Trump Administration: The Clusterfuck Continues

Which doesn’t even work with the question he was asked (video in the link);

He’s either trying the old “Everything bad that happens is someone else’s fault” excuse he always falls back on, or he legitimately doesn’t remember signing it, which is a real possibility since in the videos I’ve seen of him signing EOs he really doesn’t seem to know what’s being put in front of him.

Let me guess. 'Twas signed by autopen.

:face_with_monocle:

Y’all are being too hard on him. He’s just following in the footsteps of old Harry Truman.

The buck stops over there. Way over there. In fact, I never saw the buck.

It stops on Harry Truman’s desk, over there in 1952.

ETA: And it might be true that he never saw the buck. If he had, you can be sure he would have pocketed it.

So, if Trump’s signature doesn’t count because it was signed by autopen, does this mean he’s going to drop his strategy of complaining about Biden’s pardons?

No, because Donnie can magically cause things to happen by simply thinking them. The sharpie is just a visual effect after the fact.

Performers are abandoning the Kennedy Center in droves while Trump demands that they host productions of old musicals that haven’t been performed by professional touring groups in decades.

I sense an opportunity - for both money and laughs.

Throw together an absolute shit-show of a show, and see if you can get Trump to pay you to perform it. See how many shows you can pull off before MAGA admits you’re complete trash, and Trump was an idiot for hiring you.

Even better to refuse to work for a fascist in a prominent venue, embarrassing him and calling attention to his fascism.

Springtime For Hitler? I’m sure Trump would love it, and pay a lot to keep it going.

We got a great show for you, Mr. Trump, based on the title alone you know its going to be just the thing you like. We call it the Aristocrats.

Springtime, for E-lon, and Amer-i-ca!
Winter, for Canada and France!
Springtime, for E-lon, and Amer-i-ca!
Come on, Trumpies, go into your dance!

I guess that don’t want to say it aloud but I’ve seen speculation that the reason Musk wants complete access to government data is to train his AI.

I saw a comment somewhere like “People rob banks because that’s where the money is. Government computer systems are where the private data is, so that’s what they need access to.”

Not sure if that’s true but it makes about as much sense as anything else for needing complete access, like selling the data or using it for leverage against certain people. Musk having unlimited access to government data certainly would be an advantage over his AI competition in training.

Get the people that did the Wonka Experience.

Remember what happened in the movie/play? It’ll be like that, except the MAGAts won’t think it is a comedy and laugh. They will agree with it. it’ll be a big hit.

Yes; show rightwingers a parody of them, they often don’t get it’s a parody and approve of it. I recall reading how that happened with Norman Spinrad’s Iron Dream, an unsubtle parody (it included penis shaped spaceships). While most people got the point, rightwingers didn’t; it even got put on the recommended reading list of the American Nazi Party.

Parody doesn’t really work with people who are themselves essentially a parody.

Trump extorts law firm with executive order and gets $40 million in pro bono legal services.

Trump says he’s revoked Adam Kinzinger’s security clearance.

Kinzinger says he didn’t have one.

This is where the idea falls apart.
