The Trump Administration: The Clusterfuck Continues

Indeed, quite horrifying.

Gee, “streamlining”, eh? There seems to be another word for that, possibly.

“…in line…” - yeah, we know what parameters those are.

You know, I’ve been asked for a bribe before. In Brazil. Long story, but I needed to get some specialized lab equipment in to support a study, and there was only one manufacturer in the world. So we were going to send one we had to them on loan. I learned the hard way what a nightmare importing stuff like that into Brazil was.

The equipment sat in customs for months, and at one point one of the officials told me he could take care of it for me if I took care of him.

It was actually kind of a relief to be able to say “Sorry, pal, but I can go to jail for that, and this job ain’t worth jail time.”

I thought lots of veterans liked Trump? But I’m sure that these pages are just down for maintenance. I’m just being overly concerned. It’s just a coincidence. Right?

SFW enough to be in a Cecil column.

Catholic charities aren’t too fond of the gutting of USAID either:

The Roman Catholic Church’s worldwide charity arm sharply criticized President Donald Trump’s cuts to U.S. foreign aid on Monday, saying his plans to end funding for relief agency USAID will have a “catastrophic” impact in the developing world.

“The ruthless and chaotic way this callous decision is being implemented threatens the lives and dignity of millions,” Caritas Internationalis, a Vatican-based confederation of 162 Catholic relief, development and social services organisations working in more than 200 countries, said in a statement.

At least he backs an abortion ban (As long it doesn’t apply to his mistresses.)

That’s only for weather maps.

D’oh! I missed that because…I thought it was a cello! Yeah, that’s the ticket.

Perhaps the Catholic Church should reconsider whether abortion should be the first and foremost criteria in choosing who to vote for.

Not having a chin, the poor little guy is doing the best he can.

Haha!

OOPS!

Musk’s Department of Government Efficiency, used an unsecured server to blast out emails to more than two million federal employees, violating federal law and potentially compromising workers’ privacy.

Emails, unsecured server, why am I having déjà vu?

PLUS… “Send All” is way more efficient than picking individual recipients.

Lock her him up! Lock her him up!

That’s how I described the current administration’s approach to health issues: déjà vu all over again. Of course, that was just about the two brewing soon-to-be pandemics in the United States.

well, fuck

Wait 'til someone tells him what state Albuquerque is in.

No don’t tell him. He’ll slap a tariff on it.

Thank you for that. Here is the content of my “report an issue” feedback to those clowns.

Your service’s placing “Gulf of America” on the map instead of the correct name, “Gulf of Mexico”, is simply pandering to one of the worst people alive today. It’s purely political nonsense and has no place in cartography.
