President Trump, Week 46

Here's this week's soul crushingly long list of amazing incompetence coming from President Trump and his White House for the week beginning Monday, November 27th to Sunday, December 3rd.  This is likely not all of the Trump team's transgressions, but it's most of them.

A reminder:  If the letter next to the President's name was a 'D' instead of an 'R,' everything on this list would've had at least warranted a mocking press conference from the Republicans.  Many of these issues would've lead to immediate Congressional investigations.  Some would've started impeachment proceedings, and, DEFINITIVELY, some of the things on this list would've been the catalyst for Republicans to remove a Democratic President from office, probably with most Democrats on board too.

Instead the GOP is continuing to tap dance around the undeniable corruption.  They are doing their most to act like they're concerned, but they have no intention of looking behind the curtain until their demise is evident.  THEN they'll act like they've ALWAYS been concerned about the allegations...

This is BY FAR, the longest list yet.  Pace yourself!  Let's begin!

• Fatalities in the coal mining industry are up dramatically since Trump took office, as he immediately cut safety regulations
• A report out says First Lady Melania Trump has not embraced or really understood what her role as First Lady is in the White House.  It's reported she's 'very alone in her position,' 'didn't want the job' and is 'unsuited and unprepared.' Reminder, the Republicans thought Michelle Obama was unqualified because of a sleeveless dress
  
• In another case of racial hatred, predominantly black churches in New Jersey were vandalized over the weekend.  At this point, I think it's impossible to separate the emboldened nature of the racists with the not so silent endorsement, and outright defending of them, by Trump
• Republican strategists are terrified of the fallout of Trump and Republicans embracing Roy Moore in a 'win at all costs' philosophy
  
• Republicans are also feeling the Trump tax plan might not pass because of Trump's ham handed roll out.  Personal Commentary: the fact it screws over the vast majority of Americans, so wealthy people get wealthier, is also not helping
  
• Trump Tower in New York City was allowed to build extra floors as long as they provided public space to the city's residents.  Trump agreed.  Now it's reported Trump Tower has not delivered on the promise of public space in the building
• As First Daughter and White House staffer doing...something(?) Ivanka Trump gets ready to visit India, not only has India rounded up the homeless and needy, they've also brought in an astounding 10,000 more security forces, and have specifically spruced up dilapidated areas of their city they hope she might visit.  They could take some of this money and help the homeless and needy, but hey it's Ivanka!
• Secretary of Education Betsy DeVos is preparing to remove debt protections in place to prevent students from being crushed by the cost of their education
  
• Keystone Pipeline, an infrastructure project Trump has championed, has leaked FAR more crude oil from it's lines than the company stated in early safety assessments
• As expected, The Deputy Director of the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, Leandra English filed suit agains the Trump Administration to prevent Trump's appointing of White House Budget Chief Mick Mulvaney as the agency's new director
• Trump's first wife, Ivana, who clearly was trying to latch onto the Trump White House in a self promotional manner, stated that after she claimed she was the 'real' first lady, Melania went absolutely "bananas." Kind of don't blame her, but you telling me the Republicans wouldn't be talking about this soap opera if a Democrat was in the White House?
  
• White House Ethics Attorney James Schultz, the man tasked with ethics and financial disclosure issues, has resigned
• Trump, a man with a long list of sexual assault/harrasment claims against him, and a man who has a tape of him bragging about grabbing women in an aggressive manner, is so tone deaf to his own being, he's put up mistletoe in the White House
  
• When Trump decided to meet privately with Russian despot Vlad Putin during his Asia trip, Trump's staff literally groaned 
• Mick Mulvaney has told the staff at the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau to ignore the instructions of their actual director Leandra English
• Trump's tax bill would allow religious institutions to openly campaign for political candidates
• On 'Cyber Monday' the day online retailers kick off their Christmas deals, Trump's online store is running deals too.  His website is not referring to the December Holiday as Christmas, as Republicans insist you must do, but rather refers to the non-denominational "the holidays"
  
• White House Advisor and Trump son-in-law Jared Kushner has failed to meet the Senate deadline to hand over all documents related to his Russian contacts during the 2016 campaign. He appealed to the Senate for a reprieve, and a new date has not been set.  Actually, he could be having trouble pulling together everything he needs, considering his numerous contacts
• Former National Security Advisor Michael Flynn's lawyers met with the Mueller investigation, further proof a plea deal is in the works
• A key witness against Michael Flynn, former CIA Director James Woolsey, met with and had dinner with, Trump at Mar-A-Lago over the weekend.  The two apparently had what was described as a "lengthy conversation"
  
• First Lady Melania Trump did not take too kindly to the Vanity Fair article about her disdain for the role of First Lady.  She called Vanity Fair 'fake news' and insists she is 'honored by her role'
• OH DEAR LORD!  Trump once again made fun of Senator Elizabeth Warren, calling her the derogatory Native American term 'Pocahontas', a term Trump giggles about using to describe Warren's Native American heritage.  Trump did this at a ceremony honoring Navajo Native American code talkers who served bravely during WWII.  Trump: "You were here long before any of us were here although we have a representative in Congress who they say was here a long time ago, they call her Pocahontas.  But you know what, I like you." SWEET JESUS!
  
• It should also be noted Trump did this in front of a portrait of former President Andrew Jackson.  The tone deaf nature of Jackson's legacy, in holding a salute to Native Americans in from of his portrait, is enough two warrant condemnation and scorn for Trump the racist
  
• Senator Elizabeth Warren joined the chorus of many who quickly criticized Trump for using a Native American slur at an event supposedly honoring Native Americans
• White House Press Secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders was put through the ringer as she tried to defend Trump's use of the Native American slur Pocahontas.  She initially said the more offensive statement was Senator Warren lying about her heritage, and then insisted Pocahontas wasn't really a Native American slur (it is)
  
• It should be noted that Sanders is calling Warren a liar for something which isn't a lie, rather something which the right wants to be a lie. Warren's Oklahoma heritage has some Native American ancestry 
• Ralph Drollinger, the far right extremist Christian loon who leads executive and legislative Bible studies, believes only Christians should be hired by the government, women should not be able to teach men anything about the Bible, and women need to only be homemakers, dressing modestly
• A Federal judge has ordered Trump and US Immigration officials to stop trying to deport 51 Indonesians from New Hampshire
• A new evaluation of Trump's tax bill states it will dramatically balloon the deficit and at the same time specifically hurt the poorest Americans hard
  
• As James O'Keefe's right wing video sting operation is caught red handed trying to push a fake Roy Moore accuser story, it's a good time to remind everyone Trump donated to O'Keefe's organization Project Veritas
• While Trump has yet to figure out what his job is, former President Obama sent congratulations to the United Kingdom's Prince Harry and Meghan Markle on the news of their engagement
  
• Malik Beams, the woman Trump tasked with restructuring the State Department, has quit three months into her job
• Mick Mulvaney desperately trying to install his authority over the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, has installed a 30 day hiring freeze over the department, calling the CFPB "bureaucracy gone wrong." Mind you the agency was started when Wall Street refused to regulate themselves.  Mulvaney seems to think that was okay
  
• The White House is considering banning all employees from using their personal cell phones while they are on the job, in an effort to control leaks
• A Federal Judge has ordered the military branches to start accepting transgender troops on January 1, 2018, directly contradicting Trump's ban
• CNN takes Trump to task, with host Don Lemon pointing out "Saying you're not racists doesn't make is to."  He then played a supercut of all the times Trump has said racially insensitive, and outright racist comments.  There were quite a few
  
• Reports are former President Obama is on the short list of invitees for Prince Harry's wedding, while Trump is likely not going to be invited
• At a fundraiser for Iowa Democrats, Alec Baldwin channeled his Trump impression to apologize for his 'Pocahontas' slur.  Of course it wasn't real; Trump would never apologize
• Access Hollywood counterpunched Trump's allegation the notorious bus tape of him was fake, by stating it is undeniably real, which they're more than willing to prove
  
• Trump and his allies are getting desperate.  Freedom Watch, the far right conservative stooges, are threatening legal action to have Robert Mueller removed from his investigation into Russia/Trump
• Another Trump property, this one in Panama, wants to remove it's connection to Trump.  If accomplished, this would be the third to do so since Trump took office
• Trump himself is now contradicting the Vanity Fair story about First Lady Melania Trump.  He insists she loves being the First Lady, and she was convinced he would win
  
• The Navajo who were at Trump's commemoration ceremony on Monday feel as if Trump planned the racial slur the entire time, and pundits are claiming  "What a waste of another day"
• The Trump Administration is arguing a temporary restraining order against Mick Mulvaney running the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau would hold up lawsuits the CFPB is fighting for on the side of consumers, forgetting to mention they probably will cease all lawsuits on behalf of consumers if Mulvaney is allowed to take the reigns of the CFPB
• Unsealed court documents show Trump settled a labor dispute lawsuit brought against him after labor practice violations were exposed.  People demolishing the property prior to Trump's building going up were paid as little as $4 an hour, worked 12 hour shifts, had no hard hats, gloves or masks.  Trump fought extensively to avoid paying them
  
• The unsealed court documents also show Trump knowingly paid for undocumented workers to work on his sight
• Eric Trump (Tweede Dum) defends Trump's indefensible use of the racial term 'Pocahontas' by bringing up the Disney movie of the same name, insisting the Disney movie was the SAME THING as Trump's clearly racist comments
  
• The mysterious Turkish/Iranian gold trader, who was supposed to stand trial in November, but disappeared into Federal custody, is expected to start testifying this week to the Mueller probe about what he knows.  He's connected to former National Security Director Michael Flynn and Trump Campaign Spokesman Rudy Giuliani
• The actual Director of the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, Leandra English, is planning on being in the office on Tuesday, regardless of what 'Trump installed Director' Mick Mulvaney threatens the agency with
• Prior to negotiations with Democratic Leaders in Congress, Trump tweets out "Meeting with Chuck (Sen. Schumer) and Nancy (Rep. Pelosi)...I don't see a deal."  This is PRIOR to them meeting
  
• Media goes on the attack after the White House claims the media covers Trump's tax plan in a negative light.  Multiple news agencies point out they've be rejected by the White House for interviews about the Trump tax bill repeatedly over the last few months
• The Senate Intelligence Committee is going through the odd step of NOT sharing the private testimony of White House Advisor and Trump son-in-law Jared Kushner with other committees in the Senate.  This means the Senate Judiciary Committee will have to request his testimony a second time, meaning his stories better match up
  
• Not a surprise.  Congressional Democratic leaders Senator Chuck Schumer and Rep. Nancy Pelosi cancelled their scheduled meeting with Trump after he said there was no point in meeting
• In a sign the investigation started by Mueller is expanding dramatically, the Manhattan District Attorney, Cyrus Vance Jr., has issued subpoenas for Former Trump Campaign Manager Paul Manafort's banking and business partners
• Secretary of Commerce Wilbur Ross had a direct connection to Vladimir Putin, the evil Russian dictator.  We knew Ross, via the Paradise Papers, was working with Russian Billionaire Kirill Shamanov.  It's now been confirmed that Shamanov is indeed married to Katerina Tikhonova, Putin's daughter.  For some reason, Putin has spent a lot of time and effort to keep his daughter's identity a secret, but now it's been confirmed
  
• Republican leaders in Congress are upset with Democratic leaders for not attending a meeting with Trump.  Trump himself mentioned there was no point in having the meeting
• More evidence is coming to light; the real culprit behind the sonic attacks on our Embassy in Cuba was the Russians.  The Russians apparently did a similar attack on the US Embassy in Uzbekistan, and the source of the attacks was tracked down to Russia.  You'd think attacking Americans would warrant a response from our leader
• North Korea, in another thumb to the nose of Trump, has fired another ballistic missile
• Another company hired by the government to help Puerto Rico seems to be a sham front, stealing millions in tax payer dollars.  Bronze Star LLC, a shipping company who didn't even exist prior to August, and who has no proven record of delivering supplies, was given a $30 million contract to deliver supplies to FEMA in Puerto Rico.  Records now show they never delivered anything.  FEMA's further investigation shows Bronze Star doesn't have any infrastructure in place to actually deliver anything, something they should have been flagged for the minute they applied for a Federal contract
  
• Feeling a tremendous amount of push back, FCC Chairman Ajit Pai is now insisting he only wants to roll back net neutrality rules to where they were three years ago.  DO NOT TRUST THIS GUY!
• On a 12-11 party line vote, the Senate Republicans voted the Trump Tax Bill out of Committee and sent it to the Senate floor for debate
  
• Trump's response after North Korea's latest missile launch:  "we'll take care of it."  Nothing else.  No details.  No further explanation
• White House Advisor and Trump son-in-law Jared Kushner is trying to hide the identities of his investors into his real estate company in Maryland.  He's asked a Federal Judge in Maryland to prevent the tenants from seeing who bankrolled him
• Robert Mueller is expected to interview White House Counsel Don McGahn in the next few weeks, specifically in regards to the Obstruction of Justice issue with Trump
• It's been revealed that after National Security Advisor Michael Flynn left his position, his aides and associates were still pushing the nuclear power plant deal he was championing.  The aides were endorsing the deal up until July.  That plan was controversial, with a questionable money flow chart, as the plan was proposed by a company Flynn served as an advisor for
  
• The lawsuit around who will run the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau is headed to court, and right into the lap of a Trump judicial appointee from August, meaning the ruling will already go for Trump's Director pick, and will actually have to be settled in the appellate court
• Trump is planning on heading to Utah next week to announce the chopping up and selling off of two of our national monuments, Bear Ears and Grand Staircase-Escalante
  
• Items carrying the Trump brand name are hitting the markets just in time for Christmas.  They're produced in China and Bangladesh, NOT in the USA
• Trump is telling his friends the Mueller probe will be over by the end of the year...WOW, that's delusional 
• More proof there's a growing divide between Secretary of State Rex Tillerson and Trump.  As Trump is saying all news outlets but Fox News need to be 'reigned in,' Tillerson specifically released a statement condemning Russia for trying control its media
• Trump still thinks former President Obama's birth certificate is not real
  
• It's revealed Trump's antics with the Congressional Democratic Leaders was actually a bit he did once on his reality show The Apprentice.  Networks actually played the two staged events, the one from the show and the one with the Congressional leaders, side by side
• Former Ambassador to NATO Nick Burns condemns Trump's attacks on the media:  "it's un-American.  It's jeopardizing lives of (American) journalists"
• As expected, the Trump appointed judge sided with Trump in his fight at the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau. This means the circuit courts will have to rule
  
• CNN decided to boycott the Trump Christmas party, due to Trump's continued attacks on the news network.  White House Press Secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders felt as if this was a positive victory, claiming "Christmas comes early!  Finally, good news from CNN."  I'm sure that won't come back to bite her in the ass
• Trump appealed to morning fantasy program Fox & Friends to promote the economy, which Trump is taking full credit for (It's mostly former President Obama's doing)
• Trump retweeted videos from far right Islamophobic bigot Jayda Fransen, deputy leader of the far right Britain First group.  The videos claim to show Muslim violence and vandalism in Europe, although the videos have been debunked.  As one person called it, it's an anti-Muslim snuff film, seeming to be perfect for trying to incite hatred. Franzen was arrested in Northern Ireland earlier this month for threatening and abusive language
  
• Jayda Fransen almost immediately praised the spreading of her bigotry videos by Trump
  
• The title of the group 'Britain First' comes from the cry echoed by the man who killed an anti-Brexit politician, Jo Cox.  The murderer screamed "Britain First" before firing.  That's the group Trump is partnering with
  
• Rex Tillerson defended the massive cuts to the State Department saying the US will just negotiate out of conflicts.  This statement came before North Korea's latest missile test
• Proving there's nothing Trump can't use to try to promote his own agenda, Trump used the firing of NBC Today host Matt Lauer to call for a full investigation into the top executives at NBC and Comcast, because they don't report the news he orders them to
• Trump, FURIOUS over the coverage of his incompetency, and the impending fall of his White House, lashed out at MSNBC host Joe Scarborough, calling for an investigation into the tragic death of an intern, Lori Klausutis, who died in Scarborough's office when he was a Florida Congressman.  There's no mystery here.  She died of heart problems.  Trump is just making up an allegation of wrong doing, as a threat
  
• The Department of Justice case against the hundreds of Trump Inauguration protestors introduced a tape from James O'Keefe's organization as evidence.  O'Keefe has a history of obscenely doctored videos, leading to ask how this video warranted any credibility at all
• FCC Chairman Ajit Pai called out social media companies criticizing his plans to get rid of net neutrality.  He says sites, like Twitter, have a double standard, insisting if they really wanted to have an open internet, they'd allow Nazi's to threaten people on their site.  Pai is on the side of the Nazis
• White House Advisor and Trump son-in-law Jared Kushner's original security disclosure form listed ZERO foreign contacts.  Now it lists over 100
  
• Trump's anti-voting Czar Kris Kobach is hit with an ethics complaint after he violated conflict of interest laws by promoting one of his Breitbart columns, one he was paid for writing, during a meeting with Trump's anti-voting committee
• Clearly egged on by Trump, North Korea claims it is now a full fledged nuclear power, and is now able to hit the entire continental US with missiles 
• British Prime Minister Theresa May and members of the UK Parliament heaped tons of scorn and ridicule on Trump for sharing videos from one of their countries biggest racists/bigots
  
• Even though she was quick to criticize Trump for re-tweeting hate videos, Theresa May states she has no plans to cancel Trumps official state visit in 2018
• Britain First and Jayda Fransen, the fools who put up the fake anti-Muslim videos Trump was re-tweeting, were caught trying to delete pro Russia posts from their social media pages
  
• White House Press Secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders insists even with Trumps INSANE morning of social media posts, he's primarily focused on the nuclear threat that is North Korea
• Watching Huckabee Sanders try to avoid officially endorsing the videos from the British bigot group Trump re-tweeted, while at the same time trying to explain the nuance of why Trump posted the videos, is painful.  It's a person who CLEARLY doesn't believe the words coming out of her mouth.  "It doesn't natter if the video is real, the threat is real."  WOW!
  
• Donald Trump Jr (Tweedle Dee) has agreed to a closed door House Intelligence Committee meeting, maybe as soon as next week
• First Daughter and White House staffer doing...something(?) Ivanka Trump is a keynote speaker in India, and much like her fashion brands, nothing original came out of her.  She did say a few lines contoured to the event, but the vast majority of her speech was copied from other speeches she's given at various international speaking events
  
• Trump and his White House are considering sharing nuclear power technology with Saudi Arabia, the country who had 19 citizens attack the US on 9/11, and whose ruling monarchy had close ties to bin Laden
• After Trump tweeted out Muslim hate videos, former KKK leader David Duke tweets out, "thank God for Trump!"
  
• First Daughter and White House staffer doing...something(?) Ivanka Trump is being sued, along with her Fine Jewelry business partner Moshe Lax, for failing to pay Italian jeweler Rasilli Franco for services.  The outstanding bill is around 21K
• White House Spokeswoman Kellyanne Conway, who broke the law (The Hatch Act) when she, a member of the Administration, was campaigning for a Senate race (she criticized Alabama Senate Candidate Democrat Doug Jones on Fox News), was apparently only following Trump's orders to do so
  
• Trump gave a speech about his tax bill and it went off the rails, turing into a rip session on our Asian allies.  He went off script, criticizing some of the "wealthy" countries in Asia, asking why the US was defending them. "They're going to pay for their defense. Does that make sense?" 
• SWEET JESUS!  White House Spokeswoman Kellyanne Conway will be the White House's point person in their fight against the opioid epidemic.  She has ZERO medical, drug policy or law enforcement experience
  
• 49% of Americans are against the Trump Tax bill.  Only 29% are for it
• In another sign Trump's former National Security Advisor might have flipped on Trump, Robert Mueller has postponed testimony to the grand jury
• The Senate Republicans voted to begin debate on the GOP Tax Bill 52-48
  
• After an insane day from Trump, multiple people are wondering if Trump is mentally stable
• Senate Democrats on the Judiciary Committee have asked 4 Trump campaign advisors (Carter Page, Sam Clovis, J.D. Gordon and Walid Phares) for their contacts and documentation dealing with meeting and contacts with Russia
• The House Intelligence Committee has subpoenaed the intermediary between Trump BFF Roger Stone and Wikileaks founder Julian Ass-ange, radio host Randy Credico
• Cheyenne River Sioux Tribe Leader Harold Frazier, after Trump said the Native American racial slur 'Pocahontas" during a supposed honoring of the Navajo Code Talkers who helped the US win WWII: "Leave the office you bought and take your swamp things with you."
  
• There's evidence starting to come to light that military special forces killed unarmed civilians, including women and children, in a raid in Somalia, in August.  An investigation done by The Daily Beast raised serious questions about the official story of the raid, which was handed down by military leaders.  If this would've happened under a Democratic President, there would be an immediate top down investigation being conducted 
• Senators are questioning Trump's nominee to run the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), AccuWeather's Barry Lee Myers.  Myers pledged to separate himself from AccuWeather, but many Senators believe his family will benefit financially with him as the head of the NOAA
  
• Myers did offer a slight bit of sanity when asked about climate change.  He contradicted numerous members of the Administration, and Trump himself,  when he acknowledged climate change is real and that humans are the main cause of it
  
• Trump's latest pick for Health and Human Services Secretary, Alex Azar had an interesting Senate hearing.  He claims his company, Eli Lilly was not the real culprits in tripling the cost of insulin (which they are) and he stated women should have their reproductive rights balanced with "the conscience of the employer"
• White House Advisor and Trump son-in-law Jared Kushner has apparently met with Robert Mueller's investigation to talk about Michael Flynn
• Trump fired back at one of his few allies left in the world, British Prime Minister Theresa May, when he told her to stop focusing on him, but to rather focus on terrorism, implying the fake videos he re-tweeted were daily images from your standard British town
  
• In the tweet Trump posted to fire back at Theresa May, the Twitter address Trump used for Theresa May was not the one for the British Prime Minister, rather for a random person named Theresa May.  I'm sure she has some fine words prepared for our Moron in Chief
  
• Co Author of 'The Art of The Deal' Tony Schartz says the White House is terrified Trump is actually losing his grasp on sanity
• Back when the Access Hollywood tape came to light, Trump acknowledged it was him, said it was only 'locker room talk,' and insisted it was the only time he'd said such lewd things.  A new report, which has been confirmed, stated Trump talked to 'Maximum Golf Magazine' five years previous and described a 'young socialite' at Mar-A-Lago thusly: "there is nothing in the world like first-rate p*ssy."  The Magazine's editors made the writer change the last word prior to publication
• The White House seems to be violating the Federal Vacancies Reform Act, an act designed to allow a President to appoint a person to an Administration vacancy without a confirmation hearing for 210 days.  Trump appointed numerous people to "acting" roles in the Administration, and many of them have exceeded the 210 days.  In some cases, Trump's changed the name of the position in an effort to skirt the law.  In other cases, he's just removing the word "acting" from the individual's title and is hoping no one notices
  
• The Senate Judiciary Committee is looking at the role the National Rifle Association played in coordinating contacts between the Trump Campaign and the Russians
• In the most unnecessary observation of all time, UN Ambassador Nikki Haley says North Korea would be deterred by nuclear war.  Of course it would, but the question is how much of the rest of the world would be destroyed at the same time
  
• Attorney General Jeff Sessions is putting out more hints he's going to start targeting recreational use of marijuana, setting up a potential war between the Justice Department and the numerous states who have legalized marijuana
• More people are coming forward with their concerns Trump is mentally unfit to serve.  Staffers are openly talking about his mental state being compromised
• I know someone who will not be getting a Christmas card from the White House!  Former White House Press Secretary Sean Spicer stated the allegations of sexual assault made against Trump should be treated seriously, and that Trump's accusers should be heard
• Trump lashed back at CNN's boycotting of the White House Christmas Party, tweeting "Great, and we should boycott Fake News CNN," an attempted take down from the category of "I know you are but what am I?" 
  
• CNN isn't the only one not feeling Trump's Christian cheer.  April Ryan, the excellent reporter from American Urban Radio Networks, wasn't invited to the White House Christmas Party either.  They just don't like her...with a decent chance of it partially being because she's African American
  
• Michael Flynn is also in big trouble for trying to get Trump to sign off on private business deals for Flynn's business partners, mainly circulating around the idea of a major expansion of nuclear power into the Middle East
• The Mayor of London, England, Sadiq Khan, has called Trump's promotion of vile extremism a "betrayal" of the relationship between the US and the UK.  "Any official visit from Trump would not be welcomed"
  
• Trump's pretending like Christmas was forbidden from the White House during former President Obama's term, and he's the one bring it back.  Obama celebrated Christmas, at the White House, religiously
• Speaking of which, the White House Christmas decorations are...weird...
  
• Even Secretary of Education Betsy DeVos is throwing Trump under the bus.  In reference to Trump's racist 'Pocahontas' comment:  "I think that we can all do well to reflect on the things we say before we say them."

• Mueller seems to be using Kushner to connect the dots between Michael Flynn and the Russians
  
• Trump's new British BFF, Jayda Fransen with the racist British First group, is openly threatening New York Times reporters with violence for daring to try to ask her questions
  
• This is comforting.  The head of FEMA, Brock Long, is now saying areas hit by natural disasters should not expect help from FEMA, and should plan on dealing with their crises on their own
  
• If Trump fires Tillerson, and replaces him with Pompeo, its expected Trump will nominate Senator Tom Cotton for the role of CIA Director.  Former Intelligence service officials were quick to label Cotton as "clueless"
  
• Jeff Sessions was elusive on the Russia probe when asked in closed door testimony, according to one Congressman present
  
• Trump is apparently thinking of outsourcing our covert operations.  He's proposing transferring those actions away from the Intelligence Agencies, and into the private sector, and Trump's even contemplating using mercenaries to kidnapping foreigners wanted by the US.  What could possibly go wrong? (sarcasm)
  
• It's now reported by Newsweek, Trump has used the "p*ssy" word four times in casual conversation, three times in reference to women, and once as a derogatory insult to Ted Cruz in front of a crowd of people
  
• Another attempt at impeachment will happen next week in the House, according to Representative Al Green
• White House Press Secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders latest argument to defend Trump's re-tweeting of racist anti-Muslim videos from British racists is that Trump is "elevating the conversation" with the racist anti-Muslim videos, "calling attention to the issues of the day"
• Huckabee Sanders refused to answer if Trump has confidence in Rex Tillerson
• The White House has developed a horrific rodent and cockroach problem since Trump has taken office.  This is not a set up to a joke.  It's actually really bad
  
• Trump's openly encouraging a government shutdown and is hoping to blame the Democrats for it.  He feels as if this would be good for him politically
• On World AIDS Day, Trump's proclamation intentionally did not mention the LGBTQ Community
• On World AIDS Day, it should also be mentioned Trump ended the White House Office of HIV/AIDS
• When it was discovered the Trump tax bill violated a Senate Parliamentarian rule and was almost sent back to committee, due to the trigger mechanism for revenue not being able to be part of the bill, the vote on the bill was postponed until Friday.  It's frantically being rewritten
  
• The State Department is concerned over the potential of violence at American Embassies due to Trump's re-tweeting of racist anti-Muslim videos
• The one public hearing on the potential repeal of President Obama's Clean Power Plan was a sham.  The meeting was packed with pro-rules people, but EPA Director Scott Pruitt had already signaled the rules will be rescinded.  Even power companies with coal plants want to keep President Obama's rules in place
  
• An investigation has begun, looking into the reason Treasury Secretary Steve Mnuchin never released the Treasury Department's own analysis of the Trump tax bill
• Since Trump asked for a poll of who everyone thought was 'Fake News', Rasmussen conducted one! To no one's surprise, Fox News was the Fake News winner receiving 40% of the vote
• Trump, not wanting to look like he's campaigning for Roy Moore, will have a political rally in northern Florida, right across the border from Alabama, in the days before the special election
  
• At the tree lighting for the National Tree, there were a lot of empty seats.  This was a pathetic attendance for the official lighting of the National tree.  It was packed to overflowing for President Obama's numerous tree lighting ceremonies
  
• At his sparsely attended Christmas Tree lighting ceremony, Trump screwed up the story of Jesus, claiming Joesph is Jesus' father
  
• Paul Manfort is going to get bail!  It will cost him 11.65 million dollars
• Trump, over the summer, was putting pressure on Republican Chair of the Senate Intelligence Committee Richard Burr to conclude their investigation into Trump/Russia quickly, something Burr apparently didn't take to kindly to, answering "when we have exhausted everybody we need to talk to, we will finish."  Trump also contacted Majority Leader Mitch McConnell and Senator Roy Blunt, asking for them to terminate the Senate probe "swiftly"
• One of the few Republican African Americans to campaign for Conservative candidates, Rev. O'Neal Dozier of Florida, is leaving the Republican Party, criticizing Trump's stances on white supremacists and his attacks on African American NFL players
• The White House and the Administration are preparing for a mass exodus of staff and appointees by the end of the year.  Considering the staffing levels are creating massive incompetence already, this could send Washington DC into chaos
  
• Trump, in a clear attempt to win over loyal extremist voters in the US, is weighing the option of recognizing Jerusalem as Israel's capital.  This would undoubtedly be the equivalent of throwing gasoline on the fire that is the Middle East
• International travel to the US was down dramatically in the first six months of the year, costing the American tourism industry 1.3 billion.  The main reason is international dislike of Trump
  
• After conservatives demanded a guilty verdict in the accidental shooting of Kate Steinle, a jury found Jose Ines Garcia Karate not guilty of intentionally murdering her.  This sent anti-immigrant zealots, like Trump, into a fit.  Trump called it a "disgraceful verdict."  Funny!  They loved jury trials when Officer Yanez was found not guilty of murdering Philando Castile...
• There are now reports Secretary of the Treasury Steven Mnuchin is under investigation for not even reviewing the Trump tax bill before sending it to Congress, something he is supposed to do, by law
• Speaker of the House Paul Ryan is taking an interesting tact in the Roy Moore campaign.  He says unlike Trump's accusers, the Moore accusers are 'credible.'  
• Trump says the Democrats are trying to block his tax bill because it's "too good."  1) HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA, 2) No, it's not good, and 3) The Republicans have the majority in both the House and Senate.  They don't need a single Democratic vote to pass it.  Just because they can't get their own party in line doesn't make this a Democratic problem
  
• Not only is CNN not welcome (and April Ryan not invited) to the White House Christmas Party, Chris Johnson the chief White House reporter for the Washington Blade, the nation's oldest LGBT newspaper, was also not invited.  The White House specifically omitted an African American and a representative of the LGBTQ community

• *******In the Mueller probe, former National Security Advisor Michael Flynn has plead guilty to lying to the FBI in regards to his contact with the Russians, and has committed to working with the probe.  It's expected that Flynn will testify senior Administration/Campaign members, and possibly Trump himself, directly told him to contact the Russians, to help Trump's 2016 election campaign.  It's expected he will testify against numerous members of the White House, including multiple members of the Trump family
  
• Details about the specific lie Flynn told which got him into trouble are coming to light.  It's revealed Trump sent out a tweet last year, the day after Flynn had contacted former Russian Ambassador Sergey Kislyak, pleading with Russian despot Vlad Putin to not retaliate against sanctions.  Flynn told the FBI he never met with the Russians under those circumstances.  He had

• With Flynn's guilty plea, many people are looking at the head of the Trump transition team, Vice President Mike Pence, and are starting to ask the questions 'what did he know' and 'when did he know it?'
• White House Advisor and Trump son-in-law Jared Kushner is apparently the "senior transition official" who instructed former National Security Adviser Michael Flynn to talk with the Russian Ambassador

• Former National Intelligence Director James Clapper blasts the Trump Administration in a preemptive strike, saying Flynn "was no coffee boy, this is not a hoax or fake news.  This is real"

• Secretary of State Rex Tillerson is very concerned (as he should be) at the revelation White House Advisor and Trump son-in-law Jared Kushner is apparently currently in talks with Saudi Arabia, via the crown prince.  It's not exactly clear what Kushner is pushing for, but it's very clear he is currently not relaying any of his conversations to the State Department
  
• The final hours of the Senate discussion on the Trump tax bill are frantic, with handwritten scratched out pages adding billions without any clear explanation of what's exactly going on
• Speaker Paul Ryan can't explain why exactly Trump shouldn't resign for his sexual misconduct allegations
• Attempting to distract and look tough on immigrants, the Justice Department has issued an arrest warrant for Jose Inez Garcia Zarate, the undocumented Mexican who shot his gun and accidentally killed Kate Steinle.  This after Trump and conservatives are furious a jury found Zarate innocent

• The Trump tax bill awards personhood status to fetuses in the womb, for the purpose of being named as beneficiaries on 529 investment accounts
• Trump has a LONG history of praising Michael Flynn, something he will not be able to erase
• As Secretary of the Interior Ryan Zinke eagerly looks forward to Trump's announcement of cutting National Monuments in Utah, he's also refusing to allow any reduction in National monuments in Montana, his home state, and actually is trying to get Trump to designate another new National Monument in Montana.  State on state crime conducted by the Feds
  
• The Senate version of Trump's tax plan opens up the arctic for oil drilling, but a strange opposition has arisen in the House, where 12 Republicans are staunchly against the drilling expansion, enough to doom that provision in the final version of the bill
• Apparently there are some people in the White House who are in a total denial, believing Trump will be exonerated soon
• Fox News, a 'media' outlet Trump follows religiously, is now telling Trump to arrest former President Obama for publicly criticizing Trump.  VERY Third Reich-y

• Trump making his first comments since Flynn plead guilty, insists there is "absolutely no collusion" between his campaign and Russia (WAIT FOR IT...)

• Reminder:  First Daughter and White House staffer doing...something(?) Ivanka Trump was the person who, when Michale Flynn crashed Chris Christie's first transition team meeting, hijacked the meeting and told Flynn he could have any job he wanted in the new Administration
• *******Trump basically admits he obstructed Justice on Twitter when he insisted he knew Flynn has lied to Vice President Mike Pence, AND TO THE FBI!  He also said he fired Flynn, when he actually allowed Flynn to resign.  The lying to Pence was the original justification for his resigning, but Trump acknowledging he knew Flynn lied to the FBI prior to firing former FBI Director James Comey points to a clear case of Obstruction of Justice.  Trump ended his tweet by saying "I have nothing to hide."  Not any more, idiot!

The revelation came from the New York Times, who found the line in documents released by the Mueller investigation

• A new memoir of Trump and his campaign states during his campaign, he was a screaming nightmare, swearing constantly, like a disobedient teenager

• The White House, after realizing Trump's Flynn tweet is basically an admission of Obstruction of Justice, now insists it was a rogue lawyer for Trump, John Dowd, who's responsible for the tweet, not Trump
  
• Trump returns to Twitter and seems to defend Flynn, a man who has already plead guilty to crimes, as being railroaded by the FBI, while insisting the FBI, who seemed to do everything in their power to hurt Hillary in October of last year, was helping Hillary escape justice.  Trump also attacks ABC News 
• Trump in an Early Sunday morning Twitter Attack goes after the FBI again, calling the department "tainted," and that their reputation is in "Tatters."  He personally attacks former FBI Director James Comey, links his complaints to Fox 'News' morning show Fox & Friends, and then alleges that Clinton bought off an FBI agent's wife

• More e-mails point to Russian attempts to get Trump and Putin together in 2016 seem to have come through three foundational pillars of the GOP; Guns, Veterans and Christians. Another meeting invite was extended through an American advocate of Veteran and Christian causes
• Apparently Trump hates Chief of Staff John Kelly and is issuing orders to White House staff after Kelly has left for the night
  
• Trump is asking for people to sue ABC News after their report initially claimed Trump had ordered Flynn to call Russia.  As of right now, no evidence exists that Trump did order that directly.  The story coincided with Wall Street crashing 350 points, temporarily.  Trump wants  businesses and shareholders to sue ABC in an attempt to blame them for the losses, something which would be virtually impossible to prove definitively in a court of law
• Senator Diane Feinstein is stating the Senate Judiciary Committee is indeed in the process of building an Obstruction of Justice case against Trump

• White House Advisor and Trump son-in-law Jared Kushner is ripped to shreds by a journalist in Israel.  Talking about the Kushner's assembled Middle East peace group:  "I don't know how you've lasted 8 months.  There's not a Middle East expert in the group. ...how do you operate with people who...are a bunch of orthodox Jews who have no idea about anything?  What are you guys doing?  Seriously, I don't understand this?"
  
• It's expected on Tuesday Trump will learn if he'll have to testify on whether he sexually assaulted a former contestant on 'The Apprentice.'  This testimony could lead to Trump's impeachment

Man this is freaking depressing.

Seriously, I read through this list and it boggles the mind how anyone can look at this level of insanity and say, 'this is great!'  Day after day, week after week, month after month.  How does the country as a whole not march to 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue and toss his fat ass out?

The answer is simple, and undeniable:  A vast majority of the Republicans HATE Democrats more than they love their country, their religion and their own well being.  Their hatred is ALWAYS the first filter they view anything through, and hence will endorse the most intolerable behavior (Roy Moore) because they truly do believe a Democrat, a person who thinks the government has a larger responsibility to it's citizens, when it comes to food, healthcare, transportation, environment, natural disaster relief and career betterment, would be worse option than a serial child sex abuser.

Make sure every Republican knows what they are saying when they state 'I'd rather have Roy Moore than a Democrat,' or "Trump's doing great!'  Diligence might start waking some of these fools up.  Sadly, many will never wake up.  #2018IsEverything.  We have ONE CHANCE to save this country from the evil which controls it.  Make sure you're registered, TODAY, and make sure your friends are too.  It's the gift that keeps on giving.
