This is starting to get dangerously close to some SCP-1981 shit.

(I know, I know, real life already vastly surpassed all potential of art in the realm of presidential incomprehensibility in Trump’s first term.)

Trump: “order corn”

Foreign governments: “??? Not sure about that, the tariff situation being what it is”

Starting to think we just might need to reconsider the status of USA as a bastion of progress and democracy

/understatement of the century

I hope the Alligator Alcatraz will meet the same fate as the Border Wall. As in doesn’t look anything like what was promised and was a predictable colossal tax-dollar-pit failure from get-go.

Ooo, let’s look at what the box says.

does not feel the law itself is at fault and instead blames Democrats for scaring medical professionals into confusion over their responsibilities

Well, of course this law change doesn’t faze a Republican, because they feel like they are able to do whatever the hell they want regardless of what the law says.

Unfortunately, the people who operate in the real world have to actually consider the consequences of their actions and whether they might be breaking the law. So the fact that the laws concerning the doctors’ field of endeavour have been fucked around with makes them understandably confused. Not their fault they’re confused. In fact, being concerned about the legality is definitely an indication of professionalism.

experts warn that retrofitting it to meet presidential security standards could take years, cost hundreds of millions more, and risk national security due to potential embedded surveillance.

Oh, but that’s the mindset from before the current administration. Back when presidential whims were at least moderated by process and oversight. Back when people believed that it didn’t matter if America elected a ridiculous tinpot dictator, because they couldn’t do anything just by themselves, the rest of the government was there to see the law and procedures were to be followed at all times. Now? Nobody in the White House cares. Donnie wants a jet, Donnie gets a jet.

If I go to a prominent government building, and there’s posters of people on row, my first thought would be that these are either candidates or the freshly elected officials.

Ah, being a foreigner I don’t know much about the details of American politics, but these must be the “Senate”, right? A drug lord here, a kiddy fiddler there.
