Of course he is. How can any intelligent person be surprised? And you sheep actually believe in this idiot...sad.


At the end of a Senate subcommittee hearing on Tuesday morning, someone sitting near Chairman Susan Collins (R-Maine) didn’t switch off a microphone. Collins was recorded discussing the federal budget and President Trump’s lack of familiarity with the details of governing with a colleague — apparently Sen. Jack Reed (R.I.), the ranking Democrat on the Transportation, Housing and Urban Development, and Related Agencies subcommittee.

After Reed praises Collins’s leadership of the hearing, she laments the administration’s handling of spending.

“I swear, [the Office of Management and Budget] just went through and whenever there was ‘grant,’ they just X it out,” Collins says. “With no measurement, no thinking about it, no metrics, no nothing. It’s just incredibly irresponsible.”
“Yes,” Reed replies. “I think — I think he’s crazy,” apparently referring to the president. “I mean, I don’t say that lightly and as a kind of a goofy guy.”

“I’m worried,” Collins replies.

“Oof,” Reed continues. “You know, this thing — if we don’t get a budget deal, we’re going to be paralyzed.”

“I know,” Collins replies.

“[Department of Defense] is going to be paralyzed, everybody is going to be paralyzed,” Reed says.

“I don’t think he knows there is a [Budget Control Act] or anything,” Collins says, referring to a 2011 law that defines the budget process.

“He was down at the Ford commissioning,” Reed says, referring to President Trump’s weekend event launching a new aircraft carrier, “saying, ‘I want them to pass my budget.’ Okay, so we give him $54 billion and then we take it away across the board which would cause chaos.”

“Right,” Collins replies.

“It’s just — and he hasn’t — not one word about the budget. Not one word about the debt ceiling,” Reed says.

"Good point,” Collins replies.

“You’ve got [Budget Director Mick] Mulvaney saying we’re going to put in all sorts of stuff like a border wall. Then you’ve got [Treasury Secretary Steve] Mnuchin saying it’s got to be clean,” Reed continues. “We’re going to be back in September, and, you know, you’re going to have crazy people in the House.”

You mean a Democrat would call Trump crazy? And a Republican in sheep's clothing from Northern Massachusetts, err, Maine would not counter that barb?

Can't believe it.

OMG, a career politician deeply rooted in the swamp and the incompetence of career politicians thinks a madly successful and unorthodox mover and shaker is crazy, go figure

I think to oppose Obamacare for 7 years and then become a cun!t (pun intended) when you can do something about it makes you a "fucking idiot"

As for a liberal democrat from RI, something beyond meaningless, they are the epitome of idiocy

Feeding the trolls. Nice

they think they're onto something, just letting them know we don't care what career politicians residing in the swamp think, we're voting them out of office at an alarming rate (when we can, will never win in some of them there democratic hotbeds. You know where poverty and crime and decaying neighborhoods are cool)

And for Christ's sake- will someone please tell Drumph that he won the election already so please stop campaigning. It's insane to think how much stroking this idiot's ego needs.

Dear liar in chief- rather than creating rally's, please use that time to take a leadership course and learn how to effectively lead change in an organization.

That's how you pass your agenda - with the PEOPLE behind your back burning up the congressional phone lines scaring the swamp creatures shitless.

Yeah, you are right, Trump has a detail-oriented agenda and a well-thought out plan to execute it.

Beller about "repeal and replace" for seven years, vote on it when you know there'll be a veto pen, and backtrack now that the pen to sign repeal and replace is there.

Disgusting!

Oh shock, a Democrat and a liberal Republican are "worried"

The fact that BZ thinks it is some big ZOMG!! point that Trump (if you believe the story) doesn't know the minutiae of the federal budget is hilarious.

The joke of all this open mic stuff is Susan Collins calling Rep. Farenthold unattractive,
that's the pot calling the kettle black. Susan Collins would have a very hard time winning an
attractive contest even if she was competing against Angela Merkel.
