Chronicling the misadventures of our minority-elect President’s alternate reality, alternative facts and the miscreants that comprise his administration so you don’t have to:

We begin today’s misadventures of our malignant minority-elect president* with a look at some of his more prevalent low lights – and there were many – from 2018, the con artist in the White House wants you to believe the tanking stock market isn’t his fault – when it is, Trump lied – which isn’t surprising given the fact that truth plays absolutely no role in his alternate universe and never comes out of his mouth – when he said Federal workers supported the shut down over his racist border wall, Donald’s delusions are becoming more problematic for him, the impossibility of choosing Trump’s ‘lie of the year’ when his entire illegitimate presidency is predicated on nothing but lies, how the Donald keeps tightening the rope around his own neck – and how his fraudulent business dealings and so-called charity are going to end up destroying him, 6 in 10 people – the majority – believe Donald should be impeached or censured plus much more.

As Trump Claims Workers Support Shutdown for Border Wall, Unpaid Federal Employees Set Record Straight With ‘Shutdown Stories’ article from Common Dreams. –
https://www.commondreams.org/news/2018/12/26/trump-claims-workers-support-shutdown-border-wall-unpaid-federal-employees-set

Once again Trump lied to try and justify his delusions of everyone wanting his racist border wall:

“As President Donald Trump on Tuesday claimed without a shred of evidence that “many” furloughed or unpaid federal workers support the ongoing government shutdown because they want “funding for the wall,” public employees and their family members who say they have been harmed by the lapse in government funding took to social media to set the record straight.

“My husband is furloughed due to the Trump shutdown,” a Twitter user named Nancy wrote on Tuesday. “This is a very stressful time, and believe me, my husband does not want that wall.”

The hashtag #ShutdownStories quickly went viral as federal workers shared with the world how they have been affected by the partial government shutdown, which reached its fifth day on Wednesday with no end in sight.

Demanding $5 billion in funding for his racist border wall, Trump has warned the shutdown could last “a very long time.”…”

Temper tantrums over his dubious ‘border wall’ that he lied to us about saying Mexico would pay for begins today’s misadventures of our malignant minority-elect president* as he foolishly listens to his Ministry of Propaganda at Fox faux news – which will prove costly to him and the GOP, Trump is ignorant to try and blame Democrats for shutting down the government after he said he would be proud to, Trump’s Twitter melt downs are coming fast and furious – for obvious reasons, each passing week brings more self induced disaster to the Donald as he continues self destructing plus much more.

Listening to his minions at Fox News – his Ministry of Propaganda – is going to prove costly to Trump since he’s actually stupid enough to shut down part of the government over his ill-fated border wall that Mexico was never going to pay for in the first place:

Trump Issues Threat: Shutdown Would ‘Last A Very Long Time’ article from Talking Points Memo. –
https://talkingpointsmemo.com/dc/trump-threatens-democrats-shutdown-last-very-long-time

Unlike his presidency, which will hurt bigly because of it:

“In a barrage of tweets over the past 12 hours, President Trump alternately praised House Republicans for caving to his demand for border wall funding, warned their colleagues in the Senate that they better follow suit, and blamed the entire prospect of a shutdown on Democrats who have steadfastly opposed the wall project.

“The Democrats, whose votes we need in the Senate, will probably vote against Border Security and the Wall even though they know it is DESPERATELY NEEDED,” Trump tweeted Friday. “If the Dems vote no, there will be a shutdown that will last for a very long time. People don’t want Open Borders and Crime!”

A subsequent tweet put his threat more succinctly: “Shutdown today if Democrats do not vote for Border Security!”

Just last week, Trump said he would be “proud” to shut down the Republican-controlled government to get his wall money…”

Two years of intentional damage to the U.S. by our wannabe dictator and his corrupt cabal should be criminal:

“From The Washington Post:

According to CBP records, the girl and her father were taken into custody about 10 p.m. Dec. 6 south of Lordsburg, N.M., as part of a group of 163 people who approached U.S. agents to turn themselves in. More than eight hours later, the child began having seizures at 6:25 a.m., CBP records show. Emergency responders, who arrived soon after, measured her body temperature at 105.7 degrees, and according to a statement from CBP, she “reportedly had not eaten or consumed water for several days.”

After a helicopter flight to Providence Children’s Hospital in El Paso, the child went into cardiac arrest and “was revived,” according to the agency. “However, the child did not recover and died at the hospital less than 24 hours after being transported,” CBP said. The agency did not release the name of the girl or her father, but the father remains in El Paso awaiting a meeting with Guatemalan consular officials, according to CBP. The agency is investigating the incident to ensure appropriate policies were followed, it said.

And before the inevitable trolling begins, as soon as this child was taken into the custody of the United States Border Patrol, she became its responsibility and nobody else’s. At that point, it doesn’t matter if she had walked here from Guatemala, or Guam, or Jupiter. Once she was in custody, the child’s health and well-being became the responsibility of the United States government. It became the responsibility of the United States government to monitor her for any sign of exposure…”

Trump Can’t Stop Confessing article from The Atlantic. –
https://www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archive/2018/12/trump-cant-stop-confessing/577837/

How an imbecilic president* whose corruption is nothing short of astonishing keeps implicating himself with his words and his deeds:

“Donald Trump can’t stop telling on himself.

Just two years into his presidency, the New York real-estate mogul turned politician faces at least two separate criminal investigations, while half a dozen former advisers, including his former campaign chair, deputy campaign chair, national-security adviser, foreign-policy adviser, and personal attorney have all pleaded guilty to or been convicted of serious crimes. That’s even more remarkable when you consider that the American legal system makes white-collar crimes difficult to prove, by making guilt conditional on a defendant’s state of mind, a notoriously high standard.

Nevertheless, Trump has done his best to ensure that we all know what he’s thinking, even as his legal peril grows. Last Friday, the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Southern District of New York claimed in a filing that Trump’s former attorney, Michael Cohen, had been directed during the campaign to pay hush money to women who claimed to have had affairs with the president. Those payments, according to the filing, were laundered through shell corporations and reimbursed by the president’s private company. Effectively, the president’s own Justice Department accused him of ordering his personal attorney to commit a felony.

The standard for criminal violations of campaign-finance laws, though, turns on “knowing and willful” violations of those laws. So the president would have had to know that it was illegal, and ordered Cohen to make the payments anyway…”

A Presidency on Drugs article from The Nation. –
https://www.thenation.com/article/donald-trump-adhd-speed-presidency-drugs/

How having a fake president* manipulating the news cycles with his war on fake news is like a bad drug trip:

“I took my first hit of speed in 1970 during my freshman year in college. That little white pill—Dexedrine—was a revelation. It made whatever I was doing absolutely fascinating. Amphetamine sharpened my focus and banished all appetites except a hunger for knowledge. I spent that entire night writing 35 pages of hand-scrawled notes about a 35-page article by the philosopher Ludwig Feurbach, thereby convincing the professor who would become my adviser and mentor that I was absolutely fascinating.

Speed was definitely not a respectable drug in those days. I bought mine from a seedy hippie who hung out on the edge of campus with some of my edgier friends. My college was probably one of the few in the country whose infirmary actually prescribed Dexedrine for its students, presumably to keep us from buying it from guys like him.

Nowadays, respectable doctors all over the country prescribe speed for people with ADHD, under brands like Adderall and Ritalin. It does for them what it did for me—makes whatever they’re doing fascinating, allowing them to focus for many hours at a time. My students now don’t have to buy it on the street. They can cadge (or buy) it from friends with prescriptions. I sometimes wonder whether they think they have a choice about this, or whether it’s considered almost a dereliction of duty to write their papers without a chemical assist.

Of course, speed had its ugly side, and I’m hardly recommending it as a cure for boring classes or a boring life. Coming down is horrible, the prelude often to a nasty, gray depression. Campus lore said it intensified menstrual cramps and I believed it. (When you’re depressed, it’s certainly easy to believe that this month’s cramps are worse than the last batch.) In any case, I quickly realized that I liked the stuff far too much for my own good. I learned to drink coffee instead…”

The end of his failed presidency being in sight begins today’s misadventures of our malignant minority-elect president* as the threat of impeachment remains unlikely but with a little more time he will bury himself, each disastrous week of our lackluster lame duck illegitimate president’s tenure proves more entertaining, the lies and deceptions from our treasonous president* keep coming and there appears to be no end in sight, Donnie’s Russia troubles are wreaking havoc on his already cratering presidency, Trump has been committing more war crimes in Syria, why Donald’s ‘incredible deal’ with China over his Trade war appears to be yet another of his delusional fabrications, Obama’s stock market is now doing better than Trump’s – which will really piss him off, the fact that Donald is more loyal to dictators than the U.S. is becoming problematic and much more.

A Complete Analysis Of Trump’s 97th Unpresidented Week As POTUS article from Rantt Media. –
https://rantt.com/trumps-97th-unpresidented-week-revealed-cohen-plea-collusion-evidence/

Each week of our lackluster lame duck president’s failed illegitimate tenure in the White House keeps getting more entertaining as his imminent demise creeps closer and closer:

“First, they said the Trump campaign had no contacts with the Russian government. Then, they said there was no collusion. Then, they said collusion isn’t a crime.

Now, as the walls are closing in, President Trump and his loyal sycophants have resorted to falsely painting Special Counsel Robert Mueller as a “rogue prosecutor” so their base won’t believe any of the damning developments.

This was the most significant week in Special Counsel Robert Mueller’s investigation thus far. “Individual 1,” the President of the United States, has now officially been named as a subject of Mueller’s probe. This strikes down conservatives’ primary talking point, claiming the guilty pleas have not pertained to collusion. This week’s developments had everything to do with collusion, or in more legal terms, Conspiracy Against The United States. We are now beginning to see an even clearer story of the 2016 Russian government-assisted version of Watergate.

All five of Trump associates who have been charged with crimes have now pleaded guilty and cooperated with Special Counsel Robert Mueller. Trump’s former fixer Michael Cohen, who had already pleaded guilty to the Southern District of New York and led to Trump becoming an unindicted conspirator in two campaign finance felonies, is lucky number five…”

Trump’s latest tantrum suggests Mueller is making him nervous article from Rachel Maddow on MSNBC. –
http://www.msnbc.com/rachel-maddow-show/trumps-latest-tantrum-suggests-mueller-making-him-nervous

Donnie is in deep shit and he knows it now that his failed presidency is unraveling at a record pace:

“In a mini-tantrum yesterday, Donald Trump raised the prospect of Special Counsel Robert Mueller issuing a final report and wondered about its content. “Will he be putting in statements from hundreds of people closely involved with my campaign who never met, saw or spoke to a Russian during this period?” the president asked.

I’ll confess, I find questions like these oddly entertaining. Trump’s argument, in effect, is that some top members of his political operation held private communications with a foreign adversary during its attack on our election – but not everyone on his team did so.

It’s a framework with a rich rhetorical history. At the height of the war in Iraq, the Bush administration tried to focus on the positives, effectively arguing, “What about the areas in Iraq that aren’t on fire?”

A few years later, during Herman Cain’s presidential campaign, the Republican was confronted with allegations of sexual harassment. Cain responded at the time by effectively asking, “What about the women I knew who haven’t accused me of misconduct?” About a year ago, during Roy Moore’s Senate candidacy in Alabama, his supporters effectively argued, “What about the women in Alabama whom Moore didn’t target when they were teenagers?”…”
