Incompetence
Author: BobR    Date: 04/26/2018 12:29:20

Incompetence.

If there was a single word that summed up the tRump "administration", it would be that. His executive orders keep getting overturned by the courts. His picks for cabinets are often diametrically opposed to the positions they occupy. Those that manage to get past a Senate confirmation hearing (new motto: "We're tRump's Rubber stamp!") or don't require confirmation are bumbling badly or flame out spectacularly (example: EPA Chief Scott Pruitt).

tRump's latest pick - Ronny Jackson to head the VA - is just yet another example of the wrong guy being picked by the dumb guy.

First came the story that Jackson wrecked a government vehicle while drunk and was caught prescribing himself a large number of opioids (which he claimed were for another government employee - not that that makes it any better). Even FOX "News" anchor Shep Smith called him "the candyman" for being a pill-pusher. Republicans in Congress are none to keen on him (likely because they don't need another talking point for the Dems in November), saying he lacks managerial experience and suggesting he withdraw himself from consideration.

Apparently, Jackson got the hint and withdrew himself from consideration. That's got to sting tRump.

You know what else has to sting? After an awkward bit of public weirdness yesterday with French leader Macron (and being rebuffed by Melania), tRump got his fat ass handed to him by Macron when he condemned all of tRump's policies and pedantry in front of the Congress, who cheered him on.

Ouch.

It's yet another example of tRump's incompetence, an idiot pretending to be a leader, the king in his invisible clothes. He didn't see the visit from an urbane forward-thinking world leader would make him look all the worse by comparison?

America deserves better... or does it?

you gotta check out his F&F interview this morning -- he was unhinged.

I watched the last 15 minutes and it was like something out of the movies.

Wow he made Doocey uncomfortable? That takes some doing, esp since I've see Doocey do some wacky local mid morning show stuff thanks to DJ's.

He's up here claiming every single clearly proven example of blatant corruption and favoritism levied against him is a lefitst media lie.

Figures the Republicans on this panel are doing nothing but brown nosing this fraud & attacking Democrats who are actually going after this guy for the corrupt piece of shit he is.

Comment by Scoopster on 04/26/2018 15:12:26
Okay I can't stand to listen to this shit anymore. Marsha Blackburn's doing questions now and it sounds more like... something I'd rather not compare it to in polite company.

The questioning from Reps. Tonko, Pallone, McNerney & Peters were all stellar & worth watching. To his credit, Rep. Walden was the one Repub that actually asked legitimate (albeit softball) questions about transparency, and the response he got referred him to new policy directions released this week (that are anathema to the EPA's mission and a literal sellout to corporate interests).

Barton & Blackburn were the two I heard that made me wanna throw my monitor.

I am a little too. Thought the image of him being like an all American dad on tv would make it hard to get a conviction.

No one (including me) noticed that I spelled the title of the blog incorrectly. That's a bit ironic...

So congrats to Mondo for getting a new job. He hasn't been on all day, so I guess he's celebrating or something.

Honestly, there could have been a unicorn eating ice cream with a raccoon painting a rainbow mural on the wall when I walked into the office this morning, and I would not have noticed.

Doocey will forever be the wacky general assigment reporting for WRC. How did go from that to being one of The Three Idiots on a Divane* is a story I sort of want to know.



*Thank you, Charlie Pierce for the wonderful term for Fox and Friends.


Correction It has come to my attention that Mr. Pierce calls the program Three Dolts on Divane, not Three Idiots on a Divane. Mondo regrets his error.

Thankee, Bobber. I was sort of. I needed to buy some new biz casual slacks, got some lunch, stopped at the gas station that is fully 14 cents cheaper than any other station near me, I've been home for I dunno about an hour? Been checking the Webz n stuff.

I remember when he and this other anchor(?) had the mid morning show and would get Don & Mike on a bunch. Also have a vague memory of the DJ's being dipped in chocolate and inviting Doocy to break off a piece and eat them.
