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:

A look back at the most recent failed week of his presidency begins today’s adventures of our malevolent minority-elect president* as his problems keep growing and the weeks keep getting worse, how the havoc unleashed by the Donald in his first 3 years in office will cement his place in history as the most corrupt and ignorant president* ever ‘elected,’ the truth about Trump’s failed presidency reads like a Stephen King horror novel come to life, for someone who claims he’s making America great again, Trump’s actions speak louder than his ignorant words, yet again the Don has proved himself to be a national embarrassment during his most recent overseas trip, Donnie’s plot to ‘investigate the investigators’ is going up in a puff of smoke – for obvious reasons, Trump is screwing over the minority of moronic minions that were stupid enough to vote for him and so much more.

A Complete Analysis Of Trump’s 149th Unpresidented Week As POTUS article from Rantt.

A look back at the most recent failed week of Trump’s presidency as they keep getting worse and worse for him.

Trump caught blatantly lying about Ukrainian president ‘exonerating’ him in new interview article from The Raw Story.

Given that Donnie does nothing but lie, it’s not surprising that he’s lying about being exonerated, when in fact he’s far from it:

What Trump has actually done in his first 3 years article from Vox News.

The Donald’s legacy won’t be a good one, and while everyone focuses on his endless scandals and criminal acts, Donald has been busy destroying everything this country has ever stood for and he’ll go down in history as the most corrupt, ignorant president* to ever be ‘elected’ despite losing the popular vote by almost 3 million.

Half of America wants Trump removed from office. Why does the press keep shrugging that off? article from The Daily Kos.

It’s telling that over half this country – the majority that didn’t vote for him – wants the Don impeached:

“With the House Judiciary Committee poised to take up the impeachment baton and hold a new round of public hearings this month, the Beltway press continues to absorb and echo Republican talking points that claim the inquiry isn’t resonating with Americans. Because impeachments aren’t legal proceedings, the messaging wars that surround them take on added importance. And right now, by treating as no big deal the fact that basically half the country supports removing the president of the United States from office, the media is greatly helping Republicans spread their preferred impeachment message: The inquiry isn’t resonating.

“It’s a disappointing—if not unexpected—response for Democrats, who had hoped to use the hearings to sway public opinion,” the Associated Press recently reported, suggesting impeachment has been a political failure for Democrats because the hearings in recent weeks have not produced a tidal wave of public support. “Without that backing, it’s virtually impossible to imagine Republican senators voting to convict Trump.”

First of all, public support for impeachment could be 90% and it’s unlikely that loyalist Republican senators would vote to convict Donald Trump, so that whole premise is skewed. But also, the press’ preferred narrative about support for impeachment being stagnant just isn’t accurate.

Since Democrats announced their intention to hold impeachment hearings, public support for the inquiry has jumped 16 points, according to the tabulation at FiveThirtyEight, with public support for Trump’s removal from office increasing by 7 points. That’s solid confirmation that Americans are engaged on the issue and support the historic Democratic push to hold Trump accountable. It’s especially impressive during these polarizing times, when partisans remain so entrenched on most issues…”

Why Trump’s demented brain is fertile soil for bogus ideas to take root – hence part of the reason he’s such a moron…

Trump’s Impeachable Empirical Presidency

Leave a reply
Trump Holding Head from PoliticusUSA

Since taking office President Donald J. Trump has made it evident that he never had any intention of upholding Democracy, following presidential protocol, keeping any of the promises he made to the minority that voted for him or obeying any laws under the delusional auspices that they don’t apply to him. The only thing he ever cared about is and always will be himself regardless of the consequences.

Getting caught in his Ukraine scandal is an impeachable offense, but truth be told, Trump has been committing impeachable offenses since being ‘elected’ despite losing the popular vote by almost 3 million, and Democrats limiting his impeachment inquiry to only Ukraine would be foolish and a waste of time. Trump has never been popular among the majority of Americans, nor will he ever be, and despite his false delusions of an empirical presidency, he is not above the law.

Impeachment is meant to be used as a last resort, oftentimes only in the most extreme cases. In Trump’s case, his endless abuses of power have surpassed any we’ve seen in the history of this country and encouraging foreign aid in helping win another election is unfathomable. After more than 3 years of subverting Democracy repeatedly and abusing his power, the time for Congress to act is long overdue.

In the case of extorting Ukraine, for which he is facing impeachment now, Trump was foolish enough to release a transcript of one of his calls which specifically calls for pressuring Ukraine into digging up dirt to use against Joe Biden, one of his potential challengers in the 2020 election. The fact that he withheld Military aid to Ukraine that was mandated by Congress makes this criminal act even worse. The fact that he confessed to committing the crime during an interview with Fox ‘News’ doesn’t help his case either.

Impeach 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:

Witness tampering and intimidation begin today’s misadventures of our malevolent minority-elect president* as he threatened his former Ambassador while she was testifying at his impeachment hearing – making it even easier to get rid of his corrupt, ignorant ass, why Trump’s conduct is so much worse than Nixon’s, the Don’s failed presidency is in free fall – soon his meltdowns will be coming more frequently and furiously, impeachment inquiry reveals that there is no question he did it – it’s just a matter of whether or not he’ll get away with it, in his typical desperate fashion of lying repeatedly while trying to feign innocence, the Donald showed yet again how profoundly idiotic he truly is, in addition to all the crimes he has committed, the impeachment inquiries have made it blatantly obvious that Donnie never should have been put in the oval office in the first place and much more.

Trump Engaged in Witness Tampering During Ambassador’s Testimony article from Truthout.

Trump was trying to intimidate a former Ambassador while she was giving testimony during his impeachment hearing, and that is a crime – adding yet more ammunition to his imminent implosion.

President helped ‘increase anti-Trump turnout’ in red-state governor’s races — which could spell disaster for the GOP article from The Raw Story.

Donald is toxic and the more he melts down and reveals lower depths of his stupidity, the more the majority that never supported him to begin with grows – and it’s going to cost him and his equally guilty enablers big time.

Get Trump First, But Then… article from Counter Punch.

Holding Trump accountable for his Treason and other crimes against humanity is critical, and holding the equally Treasonous Republicans that have defended and enabled him is too.

Nancy Pelosi Calls Trump Out For Being Insecure And Feeling Like ‘An Imposter’ article from Crooks and Liars.

Pelosi is a real threat to the Don because giving him a taste of his own medicine, getting under his skin and laughing at him while pointing out his weaknesses will make his melt downs come more frequently:

“Nancy Pelosi had a brutal analysis of why Trump continues to hurt himself with self-inflicted wounds. He is insecure and he knows he is an imposter. This analysis, which appears shocking on point, was given during an interview with Face the Nation, and Pelosi did not hold back.

First, they talked about why Trump decided to tweet about former Ambassador Maria Yovanovitch while she was testifying, which was largely panned as an abuse of power or witness intimidation.

MARGARET BRENNAN: Why do you think he was tweeting about her?…”

Donnie’s weeks keep getting drastically worse as his failed presidency continues imploding and he’s not handling it well.

Tried as an adult 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:

We begin today’s misadventures of our malignant minority-elect president* with more lies and gaslighting as his desperation to claim innocence over his crimes continues growing, Ukraine testimony reveals that Trump is indeed a Russian asset, the list of potentially impeachable offenses committed by Trump is quite lengthy and growing longer with each passing day, terrorizing immigrant children and their families is going to come back to haunt Donnie eventually, Trump was overheard talking to Ukraine about investigating Biden – shooting down his entire defense that he knew nothing about it, the GOP can’t abandon Trump now because they’re all guilty, Donald just keeps digging himself a deeper hole that he’ll never be able to slither out of and so much more.

A Complete Analysis Of Trump’s 146th Unpresidented Week As POTUS article from Rantt.

A look back at the most recent week of Trump’s failed presidency as lies and gaslighting prevail in his desperate attempt to claim innocence over his crimes.

The president has already confessed to his crimes article from The Week.

Why prosecuting Donnie is so simple – because he’s profoundly corrupt and stupid and he makes it entirely too easy:

Trump struggles to keep his story straight on impeachment hearings article from Rachel Maddow on MSNBC.

The problem with incessantly lying like the Don does is that it’s impossible to keep your fairy tales straight and eventually they exact a massive toll.

Trump faces ‘lock him up’ chants and ‘impeach’ signs as he delivers Veterans Day speech in New York article from Alternet.

Donald’s delusional reality is crashing around him yet he still illegally uses his office for personal gain and the majority that doesn’t support his ignorant ass is growing:

“President Donald Trump continued his strategy of using his office for political gain, including re-election, by delivering for the first time a speech in New York City on Veterans Day. Trump recently attended several sporting events where there were protests against him, and today was no different.

Surrounding Madison Square Park in Manhattan are several tall buildings, some of which featured signs that read “Impeach,” “Impeach and convict,” and “Dump Trump.” Outside the Manhattan park where Trump was speaking chants of “lock him up” and “impeach and remove” could be heard.

Recent reports show Trump has decided to ignore the historic separation of a president’s political campaign and his public appearances and the use of the White House. After being caught fraudulently fundraising, last week Trump announced he would host the winner of a social media contest promoting his campaign at the White House.

Drama queen 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:

Trump’s Treason begins today’s misadventures of our malevolent minority-elect president* as connections are made between Russia helping him get ‘elected’ and the Treason he committed – more than once – with Ukraine and China in asking them to interfere is going to come back and haunt him, Donnie is not above the law – regardless of his delusions – and now his tax returns are in danger of becoming public which will further implode his already failed presidency, desperately labeling his enemies as treasonous would be comical were it not for the fact that Trump is the most treasonous of them all and he has no idea of what the definition of Treason is, the GOP controlled Senate just confirmed Donnie’s worst fear – Russia did help him ‘win’ the election, meaning that he is indeed an illegitimate president*, the threat of impeachment is taking its toll on the Donald as his meltdowns keep coming faster and more furious, why it’s time to remove all the pieces of shit Donnie has appointed to the courts and much more.

DONALD TRUMP’S UKRAINE SCANDAL HAS ITS ROOTS IN RUSSIA article from The New Yorker.

The amount of foreign help Trump had getting ‘elected’ coupled with the Treason he has committed asking Ukraine and China to interfere is going to come back and bite him bigly.

Trump Won’t Stop His Abuses of Power article from Bloomberg News.

Trump keeps committing crimes in plain sight and Congress cannot accept that and it’s going to cost him big time.

‘Trump is scared to death’: Legal experts weigh in on federal judge dismissing president’s lawauit against Manhattan DA article from Alternet.

It’s easy to forget all the rest of Trump’s corruption with the Ukraine scandal swallowing his failed presidency whole, but his highness just found out that he can’t hide his tax returns – which is going to open a whole new can of worms into the investigation into his corruption:

Trump Is Calling Literally Everything Treason Now article from Splinter News.

The irony of the most Treasonous president* in U.S. history trying to claim his enemies are treasonous would be hysterical were it not for the fact that he has no idea what the definition of Treason is:

“No one, except for the scientists who hopefully get to study his cottage cheese brain, can really say with any certainty what’s going on in Donald Trump’s head. So all we can really go off is what actually comes out of his mouth or his fingers, and based on that, I can only guess that he likes the way “treason” rolls off the tongue and so he’s hellbent on using it against essentially everyone who’s ever wronged him.

That isn’t the definition of treason, of course, but so far Trump has used it to describe the Ukraine whistleblower, then House Intelligence committee chairman, and now, in a late Sunday tweet, Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi:

The worst punishment for being convicted of treason, of course, isn’t just being “impeached,” but rather being killed by the state. Trump knows this. So the fact that he’s now using it to describe Nancy Pelosi, who had to be dragged to an impeachment inquiry kicking and screaming, is an indicator that it’s just a thing he thinks all of his political opponents are doing whenever they try to hold him accountable for his actions. (In 2018, Trump also floated it as a descriptor for Democrats who didn’t stand or clap for him during the State of the Union, which is, you know, fascist.)…”

Trump’s erratic foreign policy reduced to ‘a shambles’ article from Rachel Maddow on MSNBC.

We’re witnessing what happens to foreign policy when an illegitimate, reckless amateur president* who lives in the land of delusion acts on his own impulse.

Nothing more patriotic 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:

A look back at one of his most corrupt weeks begins today’s misadventures of our malevolent minority-elect president* as highlights of his never-ending corruption continue taking center stage and imploding his already illegitimate, failed presidency, Trump is desperately committing Treason to avoid jail time to keep his corrupt ass in office and asking other foreign countries to help him, Trump is being impeached because it’s time to impeach him to halt his endless corruption and he has cemented his place in history as the most corrupt, idiotic president* to ever occupy the White House, calls for Donnie’s impeachment are growing as more evidence of his high crimes and misdemeanors comes to light, the Donald deserves impeachment many times over, Trump should be impeached for his war crimes too, the more Trump desperately threatens the more crimes he commits and so much more.

A Complete Analysis Of Trump’s 139th Unpresidented Week As POTUS article from Rantt.

The complete corruption of our illegitimate president* continues swallowing his already failed presidency and opening doors for his imminent implosion.

‘The dam could break’ on impeachment this week article from NBC News.

Donnie is delusional enough to believe he’s above the law, when in reality he isn’t, and his latest potential act of Treason with Ukraine could be the proverbial straw that broke the camel’s back and take his corrupt ass down once and for all.

Trump’s Got Big Dictator Energy Today article from Splinter News.

Allowing his Treasonous actions to go on with total impunity is giving our corrupt, idiotic wannabe dictator a false sense of security and it’s going to end up bursting his alternative bubble in his land of delusion bigly eventually:

Donald Trump Is Asking A Foreign Country To Help Him Win. Again. article from The Huffington Post.

Not that we needed more proof that Trump is an illegitimate president*, but once again he’s showing that he knows he can’t win fairly and he’s willing to commit Treason to avoid prison time once he’s voted out of office by the majority that didn’t ‘elect’ him:

“President Donald Trump had gotten off scot-free. ”A great day for me,” he declared on July 24. Former special counsel Robert Mueller’s testimony about Trump’s alleged obstruction of the investigation into Russian interference in the 2016 election had failed to convince House Speaker Nancy Pelosi ― let alone congressional Republicans ― to impeach him.

With not one member of his circle in prison for attempting to collude with a foreign power, and with the prospect of impeachment rapidly fading thanks to Pelosi’s hand-wringing and stonewalling, Trump did what any rational leader would do: He apparently did it again.

The day after Mueller’s testimony, Trump called Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky and pressured Zelensky to help him win the 2020 election by investigating former Vice President Joe Biden’s son, Hunter, The Wall Street Journal reported Friday. In the weeks that followed, Trump refused to grant Zelensky a meeting at the White House and halted $250 million of congressionally authorized military aid to the country, raising the possibility that the president was, as The Washington Post put it in an unsigned editorial, “not just soliciting Ukraine’s help with his presidential campaign” but using U.S. military aid to “extort it.”

“That allegation, if true, would unambiguously constitute an impeachable offense,” national security expert Benjamin Wittes wrote Friday. “That would be a very big deal indeed.”…”

Facing scandal, Trump admits more than he should have (again) article from Rachel Maddow on MSNBC.

Donald will go down in history and the most corrupt and idiotic president* to ever illegitimately occupy the White House…

Trump’s Racism Highlights His Illegitimacy

Leave a reply

Having what a majority refer to as an illegitimate president in the White House who lost the popular vote by nearly three million votes has proved painful and costly to this country over the past two and a half years, but having said president spewing his racist rants across the air waves – unchecked by much of the so-called mainstream media – because he foolishly believes that using racism to encourage hatred is a winning strategy that will get him re-elected and then lying about it takes that illegitimacy to a whole new level.

Donald Trump has perfected the art of causing distractions to deflect from his endless corruption fueled by his profound ignorance to keep his criminal actions concealed while the public focuses on what he says instead of what he does. Making matters worse is the fact that the press continues repeating his racist lies verbatim without question. Indeed, if the press did its job and called Trump’s repeated lies and racist bluster out things might be a little different.

Trump’s bigotry and racism have been on full display for more than four decades, but the growing desperation from his failed presidency is bringing it to the forefront. Since being ‘elected’ Trump has had nothing to do with making America great again and everything to do with fraudulently enriching himself and his GOP enablers while gaslighting the minority of minions that voted for him.

TRUMP’S IGNORANCE AND RACISM HAVE BECOME POLITICS AS USUAL

Trump’s latest racial tirade began over this past weekend when he tweeted that Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez of New York, Rashida Tlaib of Michigan, Ilhan Omar of Minnesota and Ayanna Pressley of Massachusetts – four of his biggest critics in the U.S. Congress – should ‘go back’ to the ‘broken and crime infested places from which they came,’ despite the fact that three of them were actually born here in the U.S. and one is a naturalized citizen. It’s rather ironic that he never mentions the fact that his wife is also an immigrant.

Fueling his racism and White Nationalism gives Trump more than ample ammunition to gin up his non-existent national emergency on America’s borders and push his immoral, unethical agendas. Before being ‘elected’ Trump promised that Mexico would build a wall to keep immigrants out, but as with the rest of his promises, it was nothing more than a heaping pile of bull shit that his supporters rolled around in. By constantly spewing vitriolic racism, it allows Trump to continue his scams and garner support from the minority of supporters that still can’t think for themselves and cater to his ever-shrinking base. Since being ‘elected,’ said supporters have been more up front and open with their racism and hatred.

One of the major drawbacks over the past two and a half plus years of having an illegitimate idiocracy occupying the White House and a Congressional body that continues enabling him is how the endless bigotry, corruption, racism and overall vileness of a traitorous, vindictive career con man as a president has destroyed any semblance of law and order as well as Democracy. Having a wannabe Twitter tyrant spewing his vitriolic idiocies all over the place to cover up his criminal actions has become normalcy and politics as usual.

Trump-Russia probes could seep into 2018 midterms article from Politico. –

“The slow pace of investigations might be a boon to Democrats eager to keep the issue in the headlines.

The congressional investigations into President Donald Trump’s ties to Russia are off to such a sluggish start that they could stretch into next year’s midterm election season. That’s a silver lining for Democrats who have grumbled that investigators aren’t moving fast enough — but who would be delighted to see the issue in the headlines as voters head to the polls.

Interviews with more than a dozen lawmakers involved in the House and Senate Intelligence Committee investigations show there is no consensus on how long they should take. The interviews also show just how politicized these investigations have already become, which threatens to undermine Congress’ chance at determining what did or didn’t happen in the 2016 campaign…”

http://www.theverge.com/2017/4/2/15140892/trump-white-house-photographer-shealah-craighead-vs-pete-souza-obama

“Donald Trump’s presidency is not normal, and neither is the way it’s being photographed

Many of the most iconic photos of Barack Obama’s presidency came from Pete Souza, the official White House photographer. Granted extensive access to Obama, he shot the Osama Bin Laden war room photo, moments the president shared with Michelle Obama, the many famous images of the president interacting with kids, and countless more. These carefully composed photos so defined the public image of Obama that it nearly made Souza a household name.

In its visual representation, as in so many other respects, the Trump administration has made a break with the past. Most of what we see of Trump comes from either the traveling pool of press photographers or the smartphones of his staff. On the one hand there are Getty Images or Reuters shots of Trump standing at podiums (or pretending to drive a truck). And on the other, we get unusually informal images of him posing with world leaders or appearing to be caught off guard. In the meantime, the White House’s Flickr account was purged, and the “Photos” section was removed from the official website…”
