    Political machine? More like a crime family — money laundering, corruption, conspiracy with hostile foreign adversaries.

    The most corrupt administration in history, worse than Republican Warren G. Harding (Teapot Dome), Republican Richard Nixon (Watergate and colluding with South Vietnam to sabotage the peace talks to prevent Humphrey from winning in 1968), Republicans Ronald Reagan and George H.W. Bush (Iran Contra Scandal; Savings & Loan Scandal) combined.

    Agree, Daeder, but I was also thinking about whale oil.

    I’m so glad he’s hired only “the best people” for his administration. Can you imagine the mess we’d be in if they were incompetent, disloyal, or criminal?

    The best description I heard was that this administration was running like a “well-oiled Charlie Sheen.”

    Do you know what a “rube-lube” is? Okay, you probably know the term “gold nose hair trimmer” which is applied by direct marketers in relation to groups of people who can be sold anything. For a long time that list was headed by groups such as retired LDS members. Recently, a new group took over as the easiest group for direct marketers to sell, and then that group itself was refined. The group is Trump supporters, and the refined and even more easily sold group is Trump supporters who donated to his campaign. Since Trump’s campaign management announced it was selling the list of donors (though I suspect not of major donors) the direct marketing industry has gotten to provide those individuals will all those unrequested phone calls and emails that we all love and desire (“koff, glatch”). In the direct marketing industry the quaint term “rubes” has been revised to be shorthand for those targets, and among some people there is an emerging term “rube-lube” as in “It is unclear how many networks will be preempting shows at 9pm eastern tonight for the rube-lube, vs. editing for relevant sections to use as alerts or in their nightly news."
