Misadventures of a minority-elect President 110

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 gleefully unaware of the national embarrassment that he is, more on Trump’s minions realizing they’ve been conned, paranoia playing a major role in Trump’s land of delusion as he flails to deflect attention from his Russia scandal, Trump pulls out of the Paris Climate agreement – with fact-free speech, the threat posed to the U.S. by Trump-loving, racist far-right terrorists, fueling his Russia scandal with yet more ignorance and more.

The only one who can’t see he’s a national embarrassment is Trump.

Some of Trump’s minions are finally starting to realize they’ve been snookered by our Con Artist-in-Chief.

It appears our racist, joke of an attorney general has a lot to fear in Trump’s ongoing Russia scandal…

Opinion: If Trump Wanted ‘Fast and Easy,’ He’s in the Wrong Job article from Roll Call. –

It’s easier to hide your malfeasance in the private sector than it is as a minority-elect President:

“In all of the hundreds, if not thousands, of volumes written about the United States Senate, I’d be willing to bet that “fast and easy” has never been used to describe the chamber or what it should be — until Tuesday, when President Donald Trump tweeted that the Senate should “switch to 51 votes immediately, and get Healthcare and TAX CUTS approved, fast and easy….”

Putting aside the fact that Democrats never did abandon the legislative filibuster, it’s hard to think of a term that applies less to the Senate and the role it is designed to play than “fast and easy,” especially because the Founding Fathers created the Senate for the sole purpose of making sure that writing the laws for a large, diverse country would be the exact opposite of “fast and easy.”

Not a monarchy

Unlike monarchies, where the whims of kings dictated a country’s course, or pure democracies, which the Founders worried would be subject to the passions of mobs and politics, James Madison explained that the Senate’s role was “first to protect the people against their rulers [and] secondly to protect the people against the transient impressions into which they themselves might be led.” Fast and easy was never part of the plan for the Senate.

And it’s never been a part of the credo of the United States. Nowhere in the Gettysburg Address did Abraham Lincoln include “fast and easy” in his call to protect the fundamental notion that all men are created equal…”

Misadventures of a minority-elect President 95

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:

Today’s misadventures of our illegitimate minority-elect president begin with Comey keeping record of his ‘improper’ phone calls and meetings with Trump whose GOP brown shirts don’t care about him giving classified info to Washington’s most recent frenemy Russia, a roundup of Trump’s current – growing – list of scandals, White House imploding as Trump’s shit storms create more controversies, it’s getting difficult to find Republicans to defend our impotent president on TV News and political theater shows, why our Liar-in-Chief is buried in self-created scandals, a short history of presidential obstruction of justice for our lackluster Liar-in-Chief, Trump holds whiny pity party press conference at U.S. Coast Guard graduation to bitch about the way he’s being treated in the media – the same media he used to bitch about his predecessor’s birth certificate conspiracy theory and much more.

Trump may or may not have his ‘tapes,’ but apparently Comey kept records of all their meetings – which will create more problems for our minority-elect President.

Trump’s brown shirts in Congress aren’t so keen on holding him accountable – as they were with Hillary Clinton – which speaks volume as to how corrupt our political establishment is.

Trump is having a really, really bad week and there appear to be no signs of it letting up soon.

The President Continues to Be Terrible at Everything: 5 Frightening Examples of Trump’s Incompetence in Just the Last 72 Hours article from AlterNet. –

Trump’s upcoming foreign trip should prove quite entertaining:

“It is not hard to imagine how much worse things will be when Trump meets with all those foreign leaders.

You didn’t have to be a political genius—or a genius of any kind, really—to see that Donald Trump was going to be a disaster at being president. He clearly has no interest in politics or policy and doesn’t understand, or care to understand, the basics of the job. The Trump platform consists of unbelievable and unconstitutional lies all bound up with racist pipe dreams about how to Make America 1952 Again. To call Trump a con man is to insult hardworking, skilled con men and women the world over. Trump just recognized easy marks when he saw them, and told them what they wanted to hear. And what they wanted to hear was that someone else’s suffering would help them get ahead.

That’s how we got here. Sixty-three million ignorant, desperate and delusional Americans voted for a man uniquely unqualified to be president. Predictably, Trump has mucked up the task at every turn. On the rare occasions he shows up to work instead of golfing, Trump screws up with a frequency that can’t be measured by any currently available metric.

In just this last week (and we’re only three days in, mind you) Trump has spilled intelligence to the Russians, proved he’s a real-life Ron Burgundy and generally made the lives of White House staffers miserable. (Although, how much sympathy can you have for someone whose dream is to work in the Trump White House?)…”

Rather ironic considering the fact that Trump and the miscreants that comprise his administration should never have been there to begin with…
