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:

Trumpcare causing political fallout for the GOP and pissing people off which will also affect our minority-elect President, using the White House for private gain at our expense, America’s issues with a reality TV president, more evidence Trump is lying about massive voter fraud, Trump’s first foreign trip will probably prove quite entertaining, the importance of studying history – so it doesn’t repeat itself, more revelations of Trump’s prefabricated Syrian gas attack fairy tale, Trump’s boldest move of all is pretending he actually has a mandate and much more.

The health care vote shows Trump thinks the US presidency is just another reality television show article from Quartz. –

Life is good in Trump’s land of delusion:

“Republicans in the US House of Representatives voted in a health-care bill on Thursday (May 4) that has already made them wildly unpopular with some American voters, and is almost certain not to pass the Senate or become a law in any semblance of its current form.

If you’re watching this bit of American governance unfold, a reasonable question right now is…”Why?”

Why would lawmakers back a bill that may strip health care from millions of the poorest citizens (many of whom are Republican voters), could make it cripplingly expensive for tens of millions more, likely leaves them vulnerable in the next election—and that ultimately could be toothless, as fellow Republicans in the Senate are already condemning it?

There is one resounding answer coming from Washington: Because president Donald Trump desperately wanted something he could call a “win.” And while it may not make sense as a political strategy, it does make sense in a context he knows well: reality TV…”

What a semester of history lessons would be like under our minority-elect President, even Trump’s home doesn’t want him there, the GOP’s piece of shit Obamacare replacement bill is worse than previously thought, it’s appearing more and more like Bannon is the President – not our illegitimate Liar-in-Chief, Trump praises Australia’s single payer healthcare after passage of dubious Trumpcare, Trump’s first hundred days of incompetent lawyering and attempts to delegitimate dissent, Trump orders FDA to switch TV from CNN to Fox faux News, more on the draconian Obamacare replacement bill ramrodded through the House, so many promises broken by Trump, Trump would get sued into oblivion over his fake news and propaganda if he loosened libel laws, Trump’s silent but not forgotten Russia scandal is about to rear its ugly head again, how Trump is a master of deception, study shows 1 thing Trump wins at: being mocked on late night TV, Democratic groups raising millions courtesy of GOP’s latest chicanery, the Presidential edition of Donald Trump scandals, the list of networks refusing to air Trumps fake news and propaganda about his failed first 100 days getting bigger and much more.

Yes, It Really Is ‘President Bannon.’ article from The Daily Kos. –
http://www.dailykos.com/stories/2017/5/3/1658431/-Yes-It-Really-Is-President-Bannon

“If there was any doubt that this country is now being effectively run by a white supremacist rather than the Reality TV con-man voted into office last November, a photograph taken yesterday inadvertently revealing White House Chief Strategist and Senior Counselor Stephen Bannon’s odious “blueprint” for the country should put that doubt to rest.

Rabbi Shmuley Boteach, a rightwing orthodox Jew and hardline supporter of Israeli policies (who has become Trump’s primary go-to mouthpiece on all things Jewish) visited the White House yesterday for an “Israel Independence Day” celebration. The Twitter-friendly Boteach sought photographs of himself in tandem with every White House personage he could find, including, curiously, the anti-Semitic, white “nationalist” champion Bannon. While the pair made a curious combination for that reason alone, it was the scribbled-on whiteboard in the background of the photograph that was far more interesting:

As the Washington Post notes, this “whiteboard” lists Bannon’s personal policy goals, with an outsize focus on rabidly xenophobic, anti-immigrant policies. “Repeal and Replace Obamacare” is at the top left (another goal Bannon lists is lowering the corporate tax rate to a specific 15%, which Trump actually proposed just last week). The fact that Bannon has the Board so publicly displayed is also indicative of how proud he is to display his goals to the rest of us.

Behind Boteach and Bannon (and, in one photo, Boteach’s wife Debbie) is a handwritten whiteboard list that apparently shows the goals that Bannon is working toward at the White House. Broken out into categories, many are obscured by the people in the foreground. Some have check marks next to them, apparently meant to indicate completion. What’s more, it’s my understanding that this is a subset of the goals publicly presented in Bannon’s office, so we’re looking only at a subset of what Bannon hopes to achieve…”

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:

The vote on Trump’s fraudulent Obamacare replacement plan could spell disaster for our lackluster minority-elect President, for Trump and his supporters, ignorance truly is bliss, Trump’s delusional narcissism is toxic, time to seriously consider that Trump is unfit to be president, it’s dangerous to trust our Liar-in-Chief, using Conservative media to spread his fake news and propaganda, Democracy is the reason for Trump’s stunning failure of a Presidency, the House passes piece of shit Obamacare replacement bill – after which our Ignoramus-in-Chief’s partied with Republicans on White House grounds – though it will die in the Senate, the GOP owns Trumpcare now and it will come back to haunt them, religious Conservatives – and a host of others – are disappointed in Trump’s latest Executive Order publicity stunt, more on the fallout from Ivanka’s latest miscreantics, and a lot more.

Donald Trump’s Latest Historical Flub Should Sincerely Frighten You article from The Huffington Post. –
http://www.huffingtonpost.com/entry/the-rise-of-ignorance-in-the-age-of-trump_us_5908b01ce4b05279d4edc007

“For his supporters, ignorance is not only bliss, but something to aspire to.

President Trump has spent very little of his 70 golden years of life on this planet studying American history or government. That has become painfully obvious. He clearly hasn’t studied much world history either. And even as he sits in the most important office in the country, he refuses to become a student of history, or to try on intellectual curiosity.

Unlike our last president, Mr. Trump has never been, nor will he ever be, an intellectual. His wild statements over the last few days demonstrate once again that he knows nothing of America’s past, and even more alarming, he does not understand the seriousness of this global moment, and the consequences of his words which reverberate around the world in the seconds it takes for him to tweet them or speak them to a reporter.

And here’s what most upsetting about it all: some 45% of Americans simply don’t care, which means this could go on unabated for four years or more. They didn’t care when they elected him, and they don’t care now that he continues to tell outrageous lies, and showcases his ignorance every time he’s interviewed or gets his hands on Twitter. They don’t care that he doesn’t understand why the Civil War occurred, or that Andrew Jackson died 16 years before that war, and therefore could not have been “really angry” about it…”
