The Trump Administration: The Clusterfuck Continues

Despite that, I understand more illegal drugs come by sea in the Pacific than the Caribbean. Or at least that’s what several news reports about the sinking of Venezuelan boats have said. Of course, those Pacific drug runners are probably coming from Mexico and not Colombia.

I’m not sure if anyone’s raised my question, but I do know the actual answer to it. Here’s my question:

Since when has a drug offense been a capital offense?

An appendant question is:

Since when has a drug offense merited summary execution without judicial involvement?

Strangely enough, this time the CF is correct about what they’re proving. They’re proving to their base they can satisfy the base’s bloodlust.

And it’s likely going to work in their favor.

Yeppers.

Since Trump took office. Next question?

They’re killing brown people; something they consider a worthy goal in its own right.

The Art of the Deal?

I’m actually pleasantly surprised that the citizen test doesn’t include the mandatory question “Who won the 2020 election?”

Good news! He is out now [although he sounds exactly like the type of nutcase Kennedy and Trump prefer]:

Bible. You gave me a laugh, though.

Someone is going to get fired for that!

I would have bet a dollar that it did include, “Name your very favorite U.S. President!”

This is actually Monty quoting AP news.

My view, as a resident of Indiana: The legislature seems reluctant to pursue redistricting, with some legislators saying that they don’t have the votes for it.

The MAGA Hoosiers on Facebook that I see are saying things like “We’ve got to get this done, or else those damn Democrats will continue to oppress us!”

It’s pathetic. Indiana has had a Republican supermajority in the state Senate and House for as long as I can remember. At the national level, both of our Senators are Republicans, and of our 9 representatives in the House, a grand total of 2 are Democrats. And these idiots still think that there’s some woke antifa boogeyman lurking around every corner that they have to guard against.

Well unfortunately I am going to the Kennedy Center with a cousin on November 29th so I guess I will see firsthand what they have done to the place.
Not looking forward to it.

Why go at all? The best way, IMHO, to slam the felon’s takeover of that institution is to treat the center as though it no longer exists. Let it rot under his tiny thumb.

Or one could let him continue to embarrass himself and the country just like he did in Japan. Here are some highlights from Buzzfeed.

(All the bullet points below are quotes from the link.)

  • It starts with Sanae motioning Trump to keep moving after he stands in front of the band
  • Then there’s another angle where Trump salutes when he didn’t need to
  • Next, he walks past the Japanese and American flags, where he’s supposed to bow.
  • Moments later, the prime minister waits to see if he will return, but when she realizes he doesn’t, she bows in front of the two flags.
  • Then he finishes the loop by continuing to walk in front of her until she catches up with him and guides him the rest of the way.
  • “Trump violated protocol during his meeting with Japan’s Prime Minister Takaiichi. He didn’t stop by the flags, saluted the Japanese soldiers, and walked ahead without waiting for her,” someone else said.

So, why does he insist on rendering a miitary salute (badly, mind you) when he’s in front of foreign military?

Oh I agree.
I didn’t want to but it’s a family tradition with my cousins to go somewhere in DC on Thanksgiving weekend every year when I go to visit.

I didn’t realize she was going to buy the tickets this early and was a little surprised when I got her text this morning. I wanted to explore other possible venues and events.

But I have also been toying around with not going. I have a valid excuse with the way my back has been acting up. So there’s that excuse hanging in the wings.

Thanks for commenting on that. I know it’s been a few decades since I last lived in that area, but certainly there are much better places not connected to the felon and likely providing a much more memorable (in a good sense) experience for a visitor.

Are you seeing Aida. with the Washington National Opera? That should be good.

ETA: I may have replied to Monty, meant for @Ellecram

No - some kind of Shakespeare Improv Theatre Company?
Unless I can convince her to cancel and schedule something else.
Even going into DC feels like a death march at this point.

The Reduced Shakespeare Company?

Bargain Bucket Shakespeare perhaps.

Doesn’t look like they’ve got any tour dates in DC according to their website.

Turns out they’ll be right here in Olympia in December, though! Getting myself a ticket now, which’ll make the fourth time I’ll have seen them.

The constitution might prohibit corruption of blood, but nature doesn’t.

Here’s what the LPGA says about this.

I’m not buying it.

Damned if this doesn’t make sense.

There’s some song about about water and oil. Seems it could use a new verse about the felon and fine art.

That’s all I can update for now–Great Firewall Issues at the moment.

The felon is a real polymath. Now he’s educating the Navy about water!

This is some master level erudition, ain’t it?

And he thinks the Navy’s flag officers are called generals.

Feel free to read the rest of his rambling incoherence. I prefer to protect my brain cells.

Evidently (damn, I love using that term when commenting on this clown), the felon has a quota for ICE.

Wait a moment. Didn’t he already admit to a quota? It’s not easy keeping up with Diarrhea Fails.
