Misadventures of a minority-elect President 298

How to spot a Dictator 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:

False claims of exoneration and vindication begins today’s misadventures of our malevolent minority-elect president* as Robert Mueller has filed his Russia investigation report with our biased and compromised Attorney General who proceeded to white wash it and cover it up while refusing to release the actual report, regardless of the fact that it spawned a multitude of other investigations into our unindicted co-conspirator and his equally corrupt family, yet more on why it’s impossible to give Barr’s butt kissing exoneration of Trump’s obvious guilt any credibility and why it’s time for Congress to get Mueller to testify, if the Mueller report actually exonerated the Donald it would have already been released, Donnie’s despotic delusions of grandeur are going to fail and so much more.

Robert Mueller’s report on his investigation into the Donald’s Russia scandal has just been released to the Attorney General so whether or not the actual report gets released to the public remains to be seen, but that report is the least of the Donald’s legal issues.

A Complete Analysis Of Trump’s 112th Unpresidented Week As POTUS article from Rantt. –
https://rantt.com/a-complete-analysis-of-trumps-112th-unpresidented-week-as-potus/

Each passing week brings more Trumpian entertainment, distractions, criminal investigations and more despite his growing desperation to save his house of cards while it continues crashing down around him:

“Weeks like this test the resilience of humanity. 50 lives taken at the hands of a white supremacist terrorist in New Zealand. Radicalized by right-wing extremism and driven by a deep-seated Islamophobia, this radical right-wing terrorist unleashed depravity on two mosques and live streamed it on Facebook.

In this dark moment, the world was looking for a leader, and we got one in New Zealand Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern, whose words and displays of empathy brought communities in New Zealand together. New Zealand’s Attorney General has already announced they would ban semi-automatic weapons. In America on the other hand, no matter how many white supremacist terrorist attacks or mass shooting incidents occur, our Republican leaders refuse to act.

After the terrorist attack, President Trump was asked if he sees white nationalism as a growing global threat. In spite of all of the evidence indicating otherwise, President Trump says he does not see it as a threat. After one tweet offering condolences, President Trump embarked on a weekend tweeting spree attacking everything from the Special Counsel to deceased Republican Senator John McCain. President Trump proposed that the FEC or FCC look into Saturday Night Live and Late Night Shows and, without evidence, accused them of colluding with Democrats and Russia (which he is accused of doing). President Trump went on to demand that Fox News bring Judge Jeanine Pirro’s show back on the air after her Islamophobic comments about Rep. Ilhan Omar.

President Trump, the GOP, and Fox News’ dangerous, xenophobic fear-mongering is having deadly consequences. Right-wing terrorists are being radicalized by the rhetoric coming out of the Oval Office and the president couldn’t care less. President Trump is incapable of rising to the occasion. Even when it would suit him to be silent, he can’t help but continue his divide and conquer strategy. Donald Trump is unfit for the office of the presidency and continues to tell us why week after week. Trump has shown us who he is and ultimately, what the Republican Party has become. Some still don’t believe him, or even worse, they do and support him nonetheless…”

After New Zealand slayings, Trump flunks another leadership test article from Rachel Maddow on MSNBC. –
http://www.msnbc.com/rachel-maddow-show/after-new-zealand-slayings-trump-flunks-another-leadership-test

Trump flunks every leadership test because he’s not a leader and he never will be – he’s a fraudulent grifter that lost the majority vote yet still became president*:

“As a rule, it’s difficult for an American president to screw up a response to a foreign terrorist attack, especially in an allied nation. The script, which several U.S. leaders have followed without incident, reflects common sense: a president condemns the violence, extends sympathy to the grieving, and offers American support.

Presidents face all kinds of arcane challenges. This isn’t one of them. It’s a pass/fail test – which is tough to fail.

And yet, Donald Trump keeps managing to find a way.

It was, after all, Friday afternoon when the Republican president held a White House photo-op in order to veto a measure that would block his emergency declaration over border barriers. At the event, Trump extended his condolences to New Zealand – though he made no specific reference to Muslims or the Islamic community – before quickly transitioning to the core argument he was eager to emphasize. In reference to the U.S./Mexico border, the American insisted:…”

What did the president know and when did he know it? Trump knew it all, from the beginning article from Salon. –
https://www.salon.com/2019/03/08/what-did-the-president-know-and-when-did-he-know-it-trump-knew-it-all-from-the-beginning/

The Don’s history of lying about his endless corruption has been blatantly obvious to anyone paying attention:

“Every week seems to bring another Trump scandal. There are so many now we’re going to have to start numbering them. Up until now the sheer volume of alleged misdeeds and malfeasance has actually worked in the president’s favor. There is so much out there that it’s hard to keep the whole picture straight in your mind and that has the weird effect of making things seem less serious than they actually are.

We know that the Trump base and the vast majority of Republican voters still support the president and think it’s all nothing but a witch hunt. They are mesmerized by the president and propagandized by Fox News and other right-wing media. But I would imagine that even people who don’t like Trump but don’t follow all this closely or in much detail wonder whether maybe the whole thing is just a collection of complaints that don’t really add up to anything.

That’s why it’s meaningful when the likes of Jim VandeHei and Mike Allen of Axios, journalists whom the political establishment sees as avatars of acceptable mainstream thinking, decide that it’s time to take stock of how many scandals are now being investigated and how wide the scope of the alleged criminality and corruption has become. It’s rather sobering. On Thursday they wrote out a partial list, entitling it, “The biggest political scandal in American history.”

VandeHei and Allen report that historians tell them there are only two previous scandals that even come close to what we are dealing with now: One is Watergate, and even Americans who weren’t alive at the time have heard plenty about that one. The other would be Teapot Dome, a bribery scandal under the manifestly corrupt Warren G. Harding administration in the 1920s…”

We begin today’s misadventures of our malevolent minority-elect president* with speculation over whether he will only be a one-term president – despite the fact that he may not even last through his first term as his corruption scandals continue imploding his already failed presidency, Donnie’s fraudulent past is going to haunt him and his entire family for years to come since Rico Laws could end up taking them down, how lying about being innocent on Twitter doesn’t make it true, with his house of cards about to be revealed it all its dubious glory the lies coming from Trump are growing exponentially, the Donald is already trying to delegitimize the 2020 elections because he knows he’s going to lose big time and much more.

https://www.aol.com/article/news/2019/03/01/trump-cohen-and-the-paradox-of-believing-proven-liars/23681988/

The hypocrisy of Republicans trying to paint Cohen as a liar when all Trump does is lie about everything is comical:

“Throughout Michael Cohen’s testimony this week before the House Oversight Committee, Republicans repeated what would seem to be a simple rule of human nature: Never trust a person who has been proven to be a liar.

“I want everyone in this room to think about this, the first announced witness for the 116th Congress is a guy who is going to prison in two months for lying to Congress,” Rep. Jim Jordan, R-Ohio, said in his opening remarks.

But as more Republicans on the committee followed Jordan’s lead, that strategy quickly hit a wall.

“You’re a pathological liar. You don’t know truth from falsehood,” Rep. Paul Gosar, R-Ariz, scolded Cohen, who then swiftly turned the tables on his interrogators…”

Trump’s Efforts to Subvert Justice Reportedly Thwarted by People Just Ignoring Him article from Splinter News. –
https://splinternews.com/trump-s-efforts-to-subvert-justice-reportedly-thwarted-1832731169

There will eventually be hell to pay for aiding and abetting the treasonous felon currently occupying the White House – though currently he’s only an unindicted co-conspirator – so ignoring him is probably wise:

“The New York Times on Tuesday published a massive exposé on President Donald Trump’s ongoing efforts to subvert, deflect, and in some cases outright end the various investigations into his alleged criminal misdeeds. It’s a compelling if exhausting read, which goes to great lengths to show how Trump—increasingly frustrated by the prospect of actually facing serious consequences for his actions—has spent the past two years working to manipulate the levers of the criminal justice system to suit his own needs.

And yet there’s an undeniable subtext in the Times’ reporting: That Trump’s worst, most authoritarian inclinations are frequently stymied by the fact that those around him simply ignore his more outlandish directives.

Here’s a good example, in which the president asked then-acting Attorney General Matthew Whitaker to reinstate U.S. Attorney for the Southern District of New York Geoffrey S. Berman—perceived by Trump to be a friend—to oversee the SDNY’s investigation into the president’s businesses, after Berman had recused himself (emphasis mine throughout).

He made the call to Mr. Whitaker to see if he could put Mr. Berman in charge of the New York investigation. The inquiry is run by Robert Khuzami, a career prosecutor who took over after Mr. Berman, whom Mr. Trump appointed, recused himself because of a routine conflict of interest…”

https://crooksandliars.com/2019/02/trumps-hypocrisy-anti-semitism

If anyone should resign due to their anti-Semitic comments, it’s the lackluster lame duck president* currently occupying the White House:

“Trump hypocritically demanded Rep. Omar to resign over her criticisms of AIPAC, even after she apologized, but has never apologized for praising some very fine “neo-Nazis” during a White Supremacist march in Charlottesville that turned violent.

At a Cabinet meeting in the White House on Tuesday, Trump said this about Rep. Omar, “Anti-Semitism has no place in the United States Congress, and I think she should either resign from Congress or she should certainly resign from the House Foreign Affairs Committee.”

Trump piled on her with more over-the-top rhetoric, “What (Omar) said is so deep-seated in her heart that her lame apology — and that’s what it was, it was lame and she didn’t mean a word of it — was just not appropriate. I think she should resign from Congress, frankly. But at a minimum, she shouldn’t be on committees — certainly that committee.”…”

“A White House source has leaked nearly every day of President Trump’s private schedule for the past three months.

Why it matters: This unusually voluminous leak gives us unprecedented visibility into how this president spends his days. The schedules, which cover nearly every working day since the midterms, show that Trump has spent around 60% of his scheduled time over the past 3 months in unstructured “Executive Time.”

We’ve published every page of the leaked schedules in a piece that accompanies this item. To protect our source, we retyped the schedules in the same format that West Wing staff receives them.

What the schedules show: Trump, an early riser, usually spends the first 5 hours of the day in Executive Time. Each day’s schedule places Trump in “Location: Oval Office” from 8 to 11 a.m…”

“Conservative commentator Ann Coulter lashed out at President Donald Trump Friday night over his signing of a bill that would temporarily open the government that did not include any money for his border wall.

Coulter slammed Trump for the concession, telling “Real Time” host Bill Maher *that the president had broken* “the promise he made every day for 18 months.”

“Now you’re finding out he’s a lying con man,” Maher said. “What was your first clue?”

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…

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:

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.

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. –

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…”
