Keystone Cops DC Style: The 1st Hundred Days
Have you ever seen any Keystone Cops episodes? This was a slapstick film series popular in theatres over a hundred years ago, good for a lot of laughs. The Keystone Cops were bumbling, incompetent fools, their attempts to keep law and order ending in a series of disasters. Hmmm, that sounds familiar. The second Trump administration is a group of bumbling, incompetent fools, but without the benefit of jocularity. This post covers only some of the goofs, oops, screw ups, mistakes, blunders and “administrative errors” made by the Trump administration in the first hundred days. I’d have to write a book to cover all of them! One of his first…

I’ve seen several different memes declaring that automobile companies are moving back to the US in response to Trump’s tariffs. Every one of those memes is wrong. The meme above was first posted on the Facebook page of America’s Last Line Of Defense The disclaimer for that page says: The flagship of the ALLOD network of trollery and propaganda for cash.
