The Trump Administration: The Clusterfuck Continues

A lot of the .gov websites now have messages that the Democrats or the Radical Left have shut down the government. So much for bipartisan governance.

Department of Health & Human Services | HHS.gov

Front page | U.S. Department of the Treasury

I decided to see what the United States Navy’s homepage had about this.

The United States Army has this as a banner across the top:

So, like a good soldier, I headed off to the suggested link. That verbiage was almost identical to the Navy’s, but they offered some resources for the duration of the shutdown.

The United States Marine Corps has a dedicated page for the shutdown with some good links and one mighty fine piece of advice:

The United States Air Force also has a dedicated page for the shutdown, also with good resource links.

The Commissioned Corps of the National Oceanic & Atmospheric Administration has this on the top of their page.

The United States Space Force has a blurb identical to the Navy’s.

The United States Coast Guard has a dedicated page for the shutdown with some good info links.

The United States Publich Health Service Commissioned Corps has this bullshit:

That’s all eight of our Uniformed Services. I must say I’m sorely disappointed in the USPHSCC for their blatant partisanship, not to mention dishonesty, in the announcement.

I have no trouble believing that Trump has a bigger heart than the reporter. I’m quite sure he has an enlarged heart, given his eating habits and lack of exercise.

Trump Administration Asks Colleges to Sign ‘Compact’ to Get Funding Preference https://www.nytimes.com/2025/10/02/us/politics/trump-college-funding.html?unlocked_article_code=1.qU8.g151.NOk5J_CTosGI&smid=nytcore-android-share

Nothing like freedom of speech at universities…

Back to faxes …

I’ve used this site many, many times – free and paid:

Wow, they are fantastic.

And that’s exactly what they’ll have with the felon: nothing like it.

May it grow larger every day.

How long before the Mango Mussolini makes every “warfighter” replace the American flag on their uniform with a patch showing trump’s mug? Probably based on his mug shot.

The whole Trump vs Portland thing so perfectly encapsulates everything that’s wrong with everything today:

Trump is convinced that Portland is in flames, and he needs to send in the military to save the day.
Why? Because an irresponsible media organization has been running video of the 2020 George Floyd protests, on a loop, for 5 years.

And Trump thinks it’s current.

Why? Because he’s surrounded by lickspittle toadies, who instead of telling him the truth just turn on the TV to his favorite channel.

Things are well and truly fucked up,

He may or may not think Portland is in flames. It’s a legitimate question to ask what he actually “knows”, even from minute to minute. At least partly because he is uninformed and dim-witted (and always has been) but also increasingly likely due to the onset of senility.

The more worrying thing is that he does not care either way. The actual facts don’t really matter to him, just what ‘facts’ he can sell to his supporters and what ‘facts’ will best position him to do whatever he wants. His personal philosophy has always been that the truth is determined by force of will, rather than constrained by observable, objective reality.

I guess I shouldn’t be surprised, but I am. The Defense Department is just going by a made up name without Congressional action. Fuckers. It’s the Gulf of America all over again.

The preview has what the link is about.

An Air Force Major asked, How can I know that an order I receive to launch my missiles came from a sane president?’ and was discharged from the service. I’ll bet he has some thoughts about Hegseth’s and Trump’s little pep rally.

I’m wondering how many people are going to get disciplined (fired, demoted, discharged) for not quoting the felon’s narrative for these announcements.

I heard some entity called the Senate is back tomorrow to enact the agenda Felon has.

Military and necessaries (ATC and such) are not getting paid. 3/4 million to be sent home tomorrow.

Less Government! (Was that a MAGA promise? Success!)

I agree. Fantastic harmonies. Thanks for posting that, @Pardel-Lux .

Just hours in the wake of the felon’s and his co-conspirator’s North Korea emulating summoning of the generals and admirals, a top Air Force general announced he is retiring.

There’s a lot of inter-service rivalry and, as a former soldier and retired sailor, I participated in it. There’s no way I’m going to fault this outstanding officer for this move. I applaud him and hope more stand up.

p.s. I just watched a video about that mandatory adoration gathering. One of the men sitting in the front row is an Air Force Chief Master Sergeant. I couldn’t see the entire rank insignia on his sleeve, so I do not know he is the Chief Master Sergeant of the Air Force.

Aside: This adoration nonsense brought to mind a silly joke I came up with while assigned to the USS CARL VINSON. The senior engineering officer on the ship is the Chief Engineer (aka CHENG). During Battle Stations, his assistant, the Damage Control Assistant, is in charge of protecting the ship’s structure. He’s referred to as the DCA. At the time I served aboard the VINSON, we all had to be familiar with the Oxygen Breathing Apparatus (or OBA). As it turned out, according to this silly joke, the proper way to greet the DCA, was to imitate Wayne and Garth’s “we are not worthy” gesture while saying, “DCA, oh, DCA.” It’s an OBAsance.

I brought this aside to you because it’s silly. And so is the way the clusterfuck is misrunning our military, along with any and everything else they put their orange-stained stubs on.

Hypocrite Hegseth targets women but ignores something serious about standards.

Ah, military standards, hey, Pete? You probably shouldn’t’ve opened that particular can of worms. After all, you failed to meet military standards.

Governor Newsom lays down the law to California universities about caving to the felon in the felon’s war on education. (The bolding is mine.)

Another nifty trick would be to refuse to sign diplomas for any state-run school that caves to the felon. Now I don’t think the Guv would pull that stunt, but if the felon were in his position, he’d’ve already done so. Luckily, the only diplomas the felon’s scrawl appears on are those from the federal service academies.

White guy tells Black guy to just ignore another white guy’s racism because, according to the first white guy, it’s just not important.

Somehow I don’t see your comments, Mike, being classified as all that frienly by the Honorable gentleman from New York.

And another white guy gives similar “advice” to a Black woman.

This is so mindboggling, heartwrenchingly, shake your head like Linda Blair in The Exorcist stupid. Co-bigot Vance doesn’t want foreigners to get treated in hospitals. (I’ve removed the formatting for readability.)

First we have Killer Kennedy who can diagnose illness just by looking at a child (and that’s creepy enough right there); now we have Just a Dumbass Vance trotting out his ability to tell a person’s citizenship or visa status just by looking at the person.

Please take a few minutes to read the response’s listed in that article about what one person called the “most anti Christian shit I’ve ever heard.”

Holy Shit! Hegseth’s hellbent on fucking up even our allies’ militaries.

I think I’ll start spewing some Exorcist-style vomit to go along with the headspinning.

Have you heard this one?

First Person: Have you heard the joke about President Trump?
Second Person: No, what is it?
First Person: That’s the whole joke.

Prime Minister Rama has a good one, too. (The bolding is mine.)

Head of Eisenhower library resignes, evidently because he wouldn’t help the felon steal a sword to give to King Charles III.

Shutdown emails were manipulated.

This is hilarious.

I’m glad I was able to spend a couple of weeks visiting and exploring Albania a few months ago. It will be very sad when Trump bombs it to glass in petty vengeance.

I hope it is considered that way by both countries. They’ve had a simmering war for four decades and oil & gas are involved, and Trump’s administration did something something for which he’ll definitely add to his - is is 42 or 43 - wars & conflicts he’s defused. Whenever the Nobel’s get together, they’ll certainly include all permutations of the Scandinavian countries conflicts Trump stopped. And now looks like the USA is going to scrape all the resources from Greenland in a “deal” rather than annexation.

The peace-making President. Yet looks like Tomahawks are half-price (or even free) now. And when Putin says that should not happen yet if it does happen, meh. Kiev to Moscow is about their range.
