You know, it’s getting so that concentrating on the big shit is just too depressing and hard to even follow anymore. Every :05 it changes, and if Trump is involved, even indirectly, it changes 180 degrees. It can be hard to write an intelligent, logical diary when there is no intelligence or logic in the subject. On the other hand, I’ve been accused of not being able to create an intelligent, logical diary on any subject. Sometimes I just ignore the big picture, and look into the weeds. Being an ex comic, I have a pretty good eye for the absurd and unintentionally comical.
Here is a perfect example. Politico today has a STORY today of a burgeoning civil war brewing, not only in the west wing, but throughout the Trump administration. Former campaign staffers, who worked for Trump when nobody would touch him with fire tongs feel that they’ve been snubbed for administration jobs. And several who got administration jobs have quit because they were being bossed by the same “swamp creatures” that their Inglorious Basterd promised to run out of town. Serves ‘em right, that's what they get for selling their souls for a lying, sleazy, two faced liar. But then the came part that jerked my head so hard I almost snapped my neck;
Some Cabinet secretaries have complained privately about having employees foisted upon them with little, if any, relevant policy expertise. The agency heads say they should have discretion over key hires in their departments.
I try very hard to not use the F-Bomb very often, but are you fucking kidding me?!? Let me make sure that I have this straight, in all of its pristine beauty. Here we have the most inept, inexperienced, uncaring, unqualified cabinet in the history of this Republic, from Price to Perry, from DeVos to Carson, and they’re sitting around complaining that Trump is trying to saddle them with idiots?
I swear, you cannot make this shit up. If you walked into freakin’ Mel Brooks office, he’d kick your ass out for a script with this kind of lame shit in it. Beam me up Scotty, there’s no intelligent life down here.
