Is anyone in charge ?

[leftyladyfrommo]

Have you noticed that no one seems to be in charge right now?

I think the military guys are in charge of the military stuff. But that all seems really confused. How do you lose a whole strike force? And bomb places where no one is home. I think they were just showing off bombs.

Trump doesn't seem to be very interested in things. He just likes golfing and using his new found fame to make more money. It's great. The tax payers are paying all his expenses.

So the daughter and SIL have been put in charge of everything else. And we know they are up on stuff because SIL read up on the near east while he waited for the ski lift.

And the guys in Congress all checked out months ago. They are just grabbing everything they can while the getting is still good.

It is like watching a Pink Panther movie.

1. they're just one big hate and grift group. they no longer believe in actual governance.

they believe only in laws and (de-)regulation that benefits rich people and businesses and getting a 1% cut for their service to these rich bastards at the expense of the nation.

other than that, they spend their time shoring up their party and personal image, leveraging off their huge investment in their hate radio and hate cable "news" propaganda network, which enables them to lie with impunity.

actual governance?

they know how to stand up and bellow about how we need a tough military, and they know how to spend big bucks on it (and get their aforementioned 1%), but they long lost any interest in spending that money wisely. there's no profit opportunity in that. if some lobbyist promises them 1% for a plan that makes sense, they might consider it....

2. i think the obvious failure of these idiots to actually form and staff a government

should be grounds enough for impeachment.

3. They have already broken so many laws

and other one seems to care. It's just who can get the most out of this gravy
train before the whole thing implodes.

And it will implode and it isn't going to be pretty.

4. when the "leader" is in incompetent buffoon

there is constant fighting / power-grabbing below him

5. The level of incompetence, cronyism & corruption is stunning.

I don't see how this can be sustained.
