Misadventures of a minority-elect President 290

What Trump has done from Pinterest

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:

Taking away Trump’s State of the Union address begins today’s misadventures of our malignant minority-elect president* as House Speaker Pelosi brought up valid concerns that his increasingly unpopular shutdown is responsible for and why it’s time to shut him down, Donnie’s failed presidency keeps getting more corrupt with each passing day, Trump’s legal team is going to get him charged with Treason, how emulating Nixon is going to prove costly to the Don, two years into his fake presidency it’s not going well for Trump as his endless lies and corruption have sealed his fate, it appears that there are tapes of Trump’s guilt – as provided by the moron he calls his defense lawyer, the resistance to the Donald’s illegitimate presidency is growing, Mueller’s investigations are starting to take a toll on the Don as more of his corrupt cronies get arrested and so much more.

Taking away Trump’s bully pulpit where he will lie – again – to the public and anyone else foolish enough to listen to his delusional immigration fantasies is ingenious, so prepare for more Twitter tantrums.

President Trump Directed His Attorney Michael Cohen To Lie To Congress About The Moscow Tower Project article from Buzz Feed. –

Donnie just keeps digging himself a deeper hole he won’t be able to slither out of, and this one may cost him his entire failed presidency:

President Donald Trump directed his longtime attorney Michael Cohen to lie to Congress about negotiations to build a Trump Tower in Moscow, according to two federal law enforcement officials involved in an investigation of the matter.

Trump also supported a plan, set up by Cohen, to visit Russia during the presidential campaign, in order to personally meet President Vladimir Putin and jump-start the tower negotiations. “Make it happen,” the sources said Trump told Cohen.

And even as Trump told the public he had no business deals with Russia, the sources said Trump and his children Ivanka and Donald Trump Jr. received regular, detailed updates about the real estate development from Cohen, whom they put in charge of the project.

Cohen pleaded guilty in November to lying about the deal in testimony and in a two-page statement to the Senate and House intelligence committees. Special counsel Robert Mueller noted that Cohen’s false claim that the project ended in January 2016 was an attempt to “minimize links between the Moscow Project and Individual 1” — widely understood to be Trump — “in hopes of limiting the ongoing Russia investigations.”…”

Resorting to more lies about alleged prayer rugs from a 2014 conspiracy theory that were totally false to try and justify his ignorant, racist border wall isn’t going to work well for the Donald either…

Misadventures of a minority-elect President 289

Trump shutdown from Pinterest

We begin today’s misadventures of our malevolent minority-elect president* with the perfect example of why he has absolutely no business being in the White House or running a country, 2019 is going to be a rough year for the Donald, every malicious deceptive act and never-ending lie perpetuated by our illegitimate, unindicted co-conspirator brings him that much closer to being removed from office, the longer the Don takes to pull his head out of his ass and end his shutdown, the worse he’s going to make things for himself, it’s time for the media to stop the sob stories over Trump supporters, Donnie’s Twitter melt downs are coming more fast and furious as his imploding presidency continues failing, for someone who claims to be innocent and not in collusion with Russia, Trump sure is making himself look guilty as hell and much more.

Trump Wall Dumb Dumb article from Splinter News. –
https://splinternews.com/trump-wall-dumb-dumb-1831614894

Yet another perfect example of why Trump has no business occupying the White House or running this country and why he is, always has been and always will be a massive fraudulent failure:

Trump Absolutely Failed to Make a Case That His Border ‘Crisis’ Is a National Emergency article from The Nation. –
https://www.thenation.com/article/trump-address-border-wall-national-emergency/

The Donald is having a hard time convincing anybody – aside from the minority of moronic minions that blindly support him – that a Border ‘crisis’ exists, aside from the humanitarian disaster he and his complicit cabal created.

WATCH: Trump rages at reporter for pointing out he did nothing on the wall for two years article from The Raw Story. –
https://www.rawstory.com/2019/01/watch-trump-rages-reporter-pointing-nothing-wall-two-yearsv/

Trump’s wall is now a national crisis regardless of the fact that the GOP controlled Congress for two years and did nothing but now Democrats are in charge and they will bring him down so he needs to try and stall the inevitable for as long as he can:

It’s Accountability Time for the Orange Menace article from The Nation. –
https://www.thenation.com/article/house-democrats-trump-accountability-impeachment/

Donnie is going to face a long 2019 and the longer his shutdown drags out, the worse it’s going to get for him:

“Donald Trump will be held to account in 2019. The prospect that the president and his associates will face serious congressional oversight, and that this scrutiny will provide vital checks and balances for the remainder of his disastrous presidency, is no longer in doubt. The voters settled that question in November, when they swept Trump’s Republican allies out of the House committee chairmanships they had co-opted in the service of a legally and morally indefensible president. Representative Elijah Cummings, who will now take control of the powerful House Oversight Committee, got it exactly right when he said, “Voters made clear they wanted transparency, integrity, honesty, but they wanted something else: accountability.”

Of course, there is good reason to demand that the new Democratic-controlled House send the right policy signals by approving bills to raise wages, expand access to health care and education, and address the existential crises of inequality and climate change—even if the Republican-controlled Senate refuses to go along, and even if Trump threatens to veto those bills. But the most urgent pressure that Americans can bring to bear involves the revitalization of the oversight infrastructure that crumbled during the subservient tenure of former House speaker Paul Ryan. “The saddest part of the last two years was that Ryan completely gave up our responsibility for oversight in the House,” says Congressional Progressive Caucus co-chair Mark Pocan. “As a separate but coequal branch of government, we saw no responsible actions of oversight for anything that the president or his administration did.

“Now, we’ve got a lot of pent-up work that has to happen,” Pocan continues. “But we can do that at the same time that we’re passing legislation and putting ideas forward. And it’s not just the Judiciary and Intelligence and Oversight and Government Reform committees—the ones that are traditionally seen as the committees that do this—that will be stepping up.” Trump’s ablest critics will now be positioned to issue subpoenas demanding the release of tax returns and other records, to compel key figures to face questioning, and to expose failed policies and egregious conflicts of interest not just in the White House but elsewhere in the executive branch, like the departments of Defense, Labor, and Health and Human Services.

Representative Barbara Lee secured support in the last Congress for rescinding the 2001 Authorization for Use of Military Force, which has been used by three successive presidents to justify military adventurism. But Ryan blocked her move, just as he blocked a bipartisan push by Representative Ro Khanna to end US support for Saudi Arabia’s brutal assault on Yemen. Now that Ryan is gone, the House must signal that it will no longer cede authority over decisions concerning war and peace to the White House. Groups that have long sought to rein in US militarism, like Peace Action and the Friends Committee on National Legislation, now have an opening to achieve dramatic policy shifts; Americans who are rightly fearful of this president’s impulsive nature should recognize that this is essential activism on behalf of accountability—and a saner foreign policy…”

Hitler Trump from Pinterest

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:

Using his Ministry of Propaganda to spread his lies begins today’s misadventures of our malignant minority-elect president’s as he once again took to Fox faux news to try and deceive everyone while desperately trying to save his ignorant ass and justify his government shutdown as his delusions keep growing, why his history of fraud – and trying to cover up his criminal actions with secrecy – makes it imperative to find out what was said and done during his two hour meeting with his Sugar Daddy Putin in Helsinki, once again Donnie rants against the media for telling the truth instead of talking about his delusional ‘success’, media is starting to call Trump out on his lies and he’s not handling it well, fabricating and lying about a non-existent border crisis is going to get the Don in more legal hot water, having no credibility is proving problematic for the Don as he uses Hitler tactics to try and make the public believe we have an immigration crisis when we don’t and everyone – with half a brain – knows that all he ever does is lie, as expected the Donald used his prime time speech to lie and misinform the public about a non-existent border and humanitarian crisis – the only humanitarian crisis at the border is the one created by him – but he wasn’t stupid enough to try and declare a national emergency and much more.

Trump Uses Fox To Claim Unpaid Government Workers Agree With Him 100% On Shutdown article from PoliticusUSA. –

Donald’s delusions are getting worse and, with any luck, eventually he’ll end up in the Psyche ward of a prison – though regardless his alternate reality is about to come crashing down.

HILARIOUS: Trump Declares Himself The Expert On Literally Everything article from Crooks and Liars. –
https://crooksandliars.com/2019/01/hilarious-trump-declares-himself-expert

The man doesn’t know his ass from a hole in the ground but Trump claims he’s an expert on everything – yet more proof that he is delusional and unfit to hold the office he holds:

We Need to Know What Happened When Trump Was Left Alone With Putin article from The Daily Beast. –
https://www.thedailybeast.com/we-need-to-know-what-happened-when-trump-was-left-alone-with-putin

Given Donnie’s history of fraud and secrecy when trying to cover up his premeditated criminal endeavors – which, like his presidency will, always fail and how his self-induced crises are compounded by his profound ignorance – it is imperative to know what happened during those two hours he met with his Sugar Daddy in Helsinki:

“Donald Trump spent two hours alone with Vladimir Putin in Helsinki in July and we still have no idea what was specifically said or agreed between two of the most powerful men in the world. (Only two interpreters, bound to silence, were present.)

How much does this matter?

Quite a lot, probably. First off, there are new concerns about Trump’s continuing susceptibility to talking points that can have only one source – Russian propaganda. More of this later. Second, it belongs in a long trail of events that have either deliberately left serious blanks in the historical record or delayed by many years discovery of the truth.

We live in a moment in America when the discovery of information is in daily hand-to-hand combat with the deliberate suppression of information. For the second time in recent history the fate of a presidency might well rest on the unhindered discovery and exposure of essential evidence. Nothing is as central to the health of a democracy as overcoming a cover-up…”

Why our wannabe Twitter tyrant Trump, whose history of ignorantly insulting wide swaths of people routinely via other methods than tweeting, has no room to talk about being insulted by anyone.

https://www.politicususa.com/2019/01/02/secret-court-filing-by-prosecutors-is-very-bad-news-for-donald-trump.html

Trump may have intentionally shut his government down to impede the investigations into his corruption but those investigating his criminal actions are still busy:

“As many government employees are on furlough, the federal prosecutors investigating Russia influence in the 2016 elections continued to make filings and take care of business.

The latest news that will cause Donald Trump to lose sleep is that a Joint Status Report Under Seal has been filed in the W. Samuel Patten criminal matter.

Patten is a lobbyist and political consultant who was a close partner of Russian spy Konstantin Kilimnik, as well as working for the parent of Cambridge Analytica and working with Paul Manafort…”
