Did anyone watch the "Oops" segment on Rachel Maddow last night?

Anybody that saw it can never call Donald Trump or this regime "competent". It was mistake after mistake after blunder, after mistake. Is it really possible for anyone to be that incompetent?

Yes, it is.

It's like MAGA looking in the mirror and not seeing the ugly. Mirror, mirror, on the wall, who's the ugliest of them all?

The tragedy of it all is that Americans are suffering the consequences of their blunders. Their insufferable arrogance and stupidity will kill us all.

Somebody needs to get a new mirror.

was the use of the term oops. Once or twice, ok, but it's a silly term for very serious errors. I know it was Bukele's term for the "mistake" of sending Kilmar Abuego Garcia to El Salvador, CECOT to be precise.

Should be Abrego, of course 🙄
Not Abuego.

and the "oops" said in that vocal intonation was meant to be sarcasm. JMHO. Your take is as valid as mine.

Here's the link for anyone who didn't see it:

Thanks to Rhiannon for posting it on the Cable Clips forum.

15. I know about it as a literary device and that

it was probably meant as sarcasm, it's just that it got a bit irritating and detracted somewhat from a very important litany of gawdawful errors that would have had disastrous results if not reversed.
It was definitely an important segment and
I join in your thanks to Rhiannon.

Always appreciate your input, NJCher.

There are many means available to them to take him down, based on the sheer incompetence of his lackeys.

The top two are actually being set up, probably so he can invoke the insurrection act or martial law.

As noted, these are basically impossible to do, but he always claims powers that he doesn't have, a typical bully posture, aiming to see if anyone dares to slap him down.

Still think eLoon and his hackers rigged it. tRump is always projecting and now the GOP is continuing to try to screw with election rules.
