The whole raking the forest nonsense after the California wildfires. You know he came up with that on his own because it’s so monumentally stupid.

Ah - now I remember having heard about her .... THAT lady is Dump's new pick as ambassador to the United Nations.


Heather Nauert cited D-Day as the height of U.S.-German relations. Now she’s headed to the U.N.


Eminently qualified, as usual....

Spoiler: Of course, some people think Dump's appreciation for her has different reasons

 

[Mischief]

Ah, Nauert. What can one say.

Personally, I gave up all hope of working in the trump administration when trump announced that Janet Yellen was too short to head the Federal Reserve. At 5'3" , she's taller than I am.

I am so disappointed.

The smocking gun can be found right next to the bedazzler at Joann's Fabrics, for those of you who want to run out and buy one.

This is an actual DHS public announcement, posted on their webpage:

Rudy Ghouliani is a disgusting creep and every time I see a photo of him I want to punch him in the face.

I don't think it's real. The language and grammar use is very poor. It seems like it was written by someone who is not a native English speaker. I have a feeling the site was hacked, and a fake message was posted.

It was posted on the 12th, and it's still on their site. You would think that if their site was hacked, they would have realized it by now, seeing as they are the Department of Homeland Security.

Yes, that would be the reasonable thing to assume, but that's government agencies for you....

Well, there WAS a hostile takeover by the current “administration”.
And while they might not be non-native-English-speakers, they might still be as uneducated as they are bigoted.

This thread has had me in hysterics! I hope it continues for a long time to come (But hopefully not Trump himself!)
