Let me be candid and honest here my man. I cannot be sympathetic to your comments because this is how adult life has always been. From the moment I stepped out of my home and headed off to college I h

So Bolton's book of lies is also somehow full of classified material?  

Anybody wanna tell Trump our security apparatus' policy on classifying untrue material?

The ethereal left have been molded into "Fantasians" by Trump's team. Fantasians are pretend enemies in Canadian war game exercises. (They also wear red triangles). We are living a shitty hollywood-lite screenplay. 

Canadian war games exercises?  What is that?  Going to a paintball range?

Michael Pack got right to work yesterday and heads rolled. Lots of 'em. 

https://www.npr.org/2020/06/18/879873926/trumps-new-foreign-broadcasting-ceo-fires-news-chiefs-raising-fears-of-meddling

President Trump's pick to lead the U.S. Agency for Global Media, Michael Pack, showed up to work Wednesday for the first time after being approved by the U.S. Senate two weeks earlier.

His words to staff were affirming. His actions were anything but.

Pack swiftly sidelined most of the agency's senior leadership by stripping them of their authority. He also fired the chiefs of the government-sponsored broadcast networks for foreign audiences which his agency oversees, including Radio Free Europe/Radio Liberty; Radio Free Asia; Office of Cuban Broadcasting, which oversees Radio and Television Martí; and Middle East Broadcasting Networks, which runs Alhurra and Radio Sawa.

The two-top officials at Voice of America resigned days earlier in anticipation of Pack's arrival.

Pack dissolved advisory boards over each of the networks and placed his own aides above them. He gave no reason for his actions other than his authority to do so, according to two people with direct knowledge of the day's events.

Trump had sought to place Pack in the position for two years, complaining about the Senate's slow pace in confirming him to the job. This spring, lawmakers learned Pack was under investigation by the Washington, D.C., attorney general's office over concerns he had improperly transferred millions of dollars from his not-for-profit outfit to his for-profit production company. That investigation has not yet been resolved.

Pack's bold moves took people who work at the agency by surprise. A memo obtained by NPR that was sent out by Pack's new chief of staff, Emily Newman, said that officials could take no actions and make no external communications without approval from above.

Several staffers, who spoke to NPR on condition they not be named, said that effectively shut down the agency.

It's like, how much more white can this be?  And the answer is none.  None more white.

Seriously....watching Trumpism in action is watching white people in full whiteness engaging in an orgy of satire-level whiteness.  Indeed....none more white.

I keep thinking of the judge's expression in The Verdict when he finally stops being arbitrary and capricious and turns on the defense.

I'd like to think that is the kind of stink eye they give the Trump administration now and again.

Man....I saw that movie at the theater on a date with a really cute girl named Autumn.  Lost touch with her long ago.  She's connected with a friend of mine on FB......AND....it turns out she's an anti-vax nut, Tucker Carlson fan, the whole nine yards.

Still, curvy brunette, I have a weakness.

Sadly, the base will buy into this.  "Liberal judges!!!!"  Never mind that most of the federal court system are Republican appointees.  

Of course they will.  Anything that goes "against" them is a conspiracy.  Facts and logic be damned.  It's a wild way to live life.

I mean, this stance alone -- that all of his previous hires were shitty -- is horribad enough to condemn him to the "worst presidents ever" pile.

Imagine that you were on a board reviewing a CEO who had the hiring history, and characterized his own hires, the way Trump has.  You'd see a CEO who is, AT BEST, absolutely terrible at filling important positions.  Which is a key job function -- it can literally make or break you.  And he is an abject failure at it.  A PROUD failure -- he shouts from the mountaintop how bad his hires have been.

If Trump was a CEO who answered to a board, he'd have been shown the door long ago, based on his record of bad hires alone.  That alone makes him a terrible president.  He just happens to be so shitty at this that there are also 10,000 other things that make him an awful president, too.

Are you, like I was, wondering what the red triangle is all about?

Well......

So, ya know, that happened.

This isn’t an accident. You don’t just tweet an upside down red triangle while disparaging “anti fascists” as terrorists.

Can't stop laughing...

 

Their harmonization suggests the Von Trapp family, but the early arrival at the rally on their shirts says, the other team from that movie.
