The Trump Administration: The Clusterfuck Continues

I tried to take one for the team.and watch it to summarize… but even the first minute is so cringeworthy I could not continue…

These random youtube comments summarize it.

That’s. absolutely. Disgusting.
How can these folks look in the mirror and not be ashamed of themselves? Just sickening
I just threw Up

Minute? I only lasted 18 seconds. And that encompassed at least three lies from the first puppet cabinet member.

Too Soon! :grin:

No problem: Too much praise from everyone who was given a job through loyalty, cut to Al Sharpton (who I hope starts to look healthier) which doesn’t help as Rev. says that bible kings don’t get this praise… but he’s got a point. It’s like you could look at this mal-administration in any aspect and find ways to support or denounce it.

This belongs in the “no shit, Sherlock” file:

This would require them to have normal human emotions like shame. These people are psychotic, grasping ghouls.

Trump blames “THE BIDEN FBI” for planting FBI agents in the crowd of insurrectionists on Jan. 6:

“THE BIDEN FBI PLACED 274 AGENTS INTO THE CROWD ON JANUARY 6,” he wrote on Truth Social. “If this is so, which it is, a lot of very good people will be owed big apologies. What a SCAM – DO SOMETHING!!! President DJT”

He said 274? How did he arrive at such a precise number? Why didn’t he say, “over 250” or “just shy of 300”?

Naw, we all know the answer: he made the number up.

No cites of course. Trump would make a lousy Doper.

My take is that one needs a moral compass for one to have a sense of shame. If anything, these snots have an immoral compass.

I’m just surprised he didn’t say “57”.

But wait! It gets soooo much worse!

UPDATE (October 11, 2025, 8:46 p.m. ET): This piece has been updated because, following publication, many fired employees began receiving emails communicating that despite the earlier notice, they would no longer be terminated.

Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. moved one step closer to his goal of dismantling the nation’s premier public-health agency by dismissing more than 1,000 scientists, doctors and public health officials from the Department of Health and Human Services late Friday night.

The dramatic move came during the second week of a government shutdown and is part of the Trump administration’s aggressive push to even further slash the size of the federal workforce and punish Democrats. The culling reportedly started with at least 4,000 people across departments including Education, Treasury, Housing and Urban Development and Energy, among others.

Not sure what to make of this now. Still a clusterfuck:

The Trump administration on Saturday raced to rescind layoffs of hundreds of scientists at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention who were mistakenly fired on Friday night in what appeared to be a substantial procedural lapse.

Among those wrongly dismissed were the top two leaders of the federal measles response team, those working to contain Ebola in the Democratic Republic of Congo, members of the Epidemic Intelligence Service, and the team that assembles the C.D.C.’s vaunted scientific journal, The Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report.

After The New York Times reported the dismissals, two federal health officials said on Saturday that many of those workers were being brought back. The officials spoke anonymously in order to disclose internal discussions.

And it’s official, Trans and non-binary folks are now second-class citizens.
