Calling this a clown show is an insult to clowns. I guess we'll have to invent new words to describe the exploits of the current US administration.

"I see you are incredibly incompetent, would you be interested in joining the Trump government?"
Oh, so are you a clown, or a 47er?
MAGAt has a nice ring to it.
Do we dare go with "Trumptard"? Has a nice ring to it.
No. MAGAt will do nicely.
"El Trumperino" if you're not into the whole brevity thing.
Obviously you're not a golfer
To do so, the reporters used commercial people search engines along with hacked customer data that has been published on the web. Those affected by the leaks include National Security Adviser Mike Waltz, Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard and Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth.

Everyday I open lemmy and see a new article about the US government leaders, I'm like "No way, that tittle is misleading" and the article is exactly what the tittle says. It would be pure comedy if it didn't affect so many people.

On the plus side they gave us some incredible moments: when I feel a bit down I remember the Four Seasons Total Landscaping press conference. Puts a smile on my face just reading this in my head!
Competent!
