Just read that last bit. "Gibberish" is no exaggeration. And he seems to conflate the problems with steam catapults with the problems for the new system. Based on a brief conversation about a subject he knows nothing about, he's ready to make a decision about what sort of catapult systems future aircraft carriers should have?

think of all the money we could save if the Aircraft Carrier itself would go back to Steam Power instead of nuclear reactors!

Now he claims to have come up with the phrase "prime the pump". Can he get any stupider?

This doesn't make sense at all. Why would Trump ask Gary Cohn if he understood a concept that Trump had invented a few days ago.
Most likely Trump meant that he'd been introduced to the term recently, but pathology or his usual lack of articulation made him express it the way he did.

Trump's delight at learning something new always takes the same form: Surprise that anyone else knew it before he did. Interpret that as you will.

Derail - but an entertaining one, so forgive me.




You guys might make the bid qualifications for the Bangkok traffic advisory system.

This is not a Poe. They rigged the bidding so that the only person qualified is the person running the system on 15 year old PCs with dual floppy drives. Show of hands.... when was the last time anyone reading this used a floppy? I think the last computer I had that used floppies died in 2004, and it was already a museum piece that I wouldn't give up until the company refused to support it any longer.

This has made my day:

He was apparently so traumatized by the experience that he turned the rest of the week over to Sarah Huckabee, whose fashion sense is something to behold. Her efforts to explain why they said lied that Trump had nothing to do with the Rosenstein recommendation were the stuff of legend.

Seriously, this is the most amazing thing I've seen in my life. This administration wouldn't be funnier or more depressing if it were written for a sitcom.

It's just astounding.
 
Sarah Sanders does say some peculiar things and has already been contradicted by both Trump and the acting head of the FBI (stating that Comey still had the full respect and support of the staff).

Sean was called up for his active duty week in the Navy Reserves, so it's not as dire as it sounds.

However, when he asked the boss if he should ask for a postponement in case anything important was going on around the White House, evidently Donnie told him "Naaah, it's gonna be a quiet week around here."

Also of note, isn't that what the boss who's planning to can you does... insists you take your scheduled holiday so they can bring someone in to go through your desk and your computer?

Trump - At Mar-A-Lago
Trump - Do you know how he goes?
Trump - How soon till a replacement?
How does he go? After the show?

[All the way, that's the way he goes .....]

Do you ever have anything substantive to post? Everytime you get called out on something you either ignore it or change the subject.

The repeated few line responses that are devoid of content are just exercises in troliing.
