Documenting on a weekly basis, all of the ridiculous, weak, hateful, oft insane and illegal - and certainly unprecedented - words and actions of our president (T). (The most unprecedented and ridiculous words and actions in the history of the world. Sad!)
This could be done daily, as there is so much. But this way, I can look back and find it all in one place.
Please excuse the brevity of the descriptions of this asshole’s words and actions. I am treating this more like a live-blog session than a highly-referenced and descriptive detailed explanation of his offenses. It’s more machine-gun like.
First up: Who speaks for the T Administration? It seems we are to disregard T’s own tweets and petulant blathering. His aides and others around him explain away his words by moderating and often contradicting those words.
Immigration Executive Order: We found out there was little to no reaching out or informing or consulting with anyone with knowledge or expertise. The Beloved Mad Dog, Pompeo, Tillerson, Senators, Committee Chairs, et al kept totally in the dark. IT WAS CRAFTED by Miller and Bannon, and WRITTEN BY JUNIOR AIDES AND HILL STAFFERS who had to sign non-disclosure agreements, and their Congressional bosses were kept in the dark. Spicer lied that everyone was in the loop. Protests continue, and we found out that 100,000 visas were cancelled unilaterally and IN SECRET and kept from court evidence. (This is no surprise as a visa is a contract, and T does not honor contracts in his biz dealings). This is after Spicer claimed only 100 people were inconvenienced at airports. Also valid Green Card holders (ie: Lawful Permanent Residents) were wronged due to lack of planning and forethought, and many Green Cards were illegals seized.
T’s Spokespeople disingenuously claim that Obama’s immigration plan was much like T’s.
Federal judge put an official stop to it all — pending appeal - and T tweets that the judge is a “so-called” judge and called the decision “ridiculous”. T also says if something bad happens, it is that judge’s fault! Acts as if it his security plan or nothing, and that we had no vetting prior to his plan.
T mocks Senator Schumer’s tears at an immigration rally, and T tells others to “study the world”.
Conway lies about some Bowling Green massacre that never happened, to justify the immigration ban.
Spicer violates the sanctity of the “Dissent Channel” at the State Dept, telling those who don’t agree with the Administration to “get out”.
Giuliani admits that the immigration ban is indeed a religious-based Muslim ban.
Acting AG was against the immigration ban and was fired within hours, with T tweeting that THE ACTING USA AG was “weak” and that she “betrayed” her country.
T petulantly mocks minutiae of Dems’ rallies.
SCOTUS Pick:
T’s sons were at the announcement, though they supposedly ARE the blind trust.
T Channels Mary Poppins, claiming Judge Gorsuch is “Perfect in almost every way.”
T tweets that Congress should “go nuclear” to approve Gorsuch.
T photo ops with The Federalist Society and Wayne Lapierre, reaching across the aisle only to give us the finger.
T asks Jerry Falwell of Liberty U to head task force on 2ndary education. Falwell is for striking down a rule that requires colleges to investigate sexual assault on their own campuses.
T issues Exec Order that arbitrarily requires the striking down of 2 old regulations for every 1 new regulation. Claims it will help small business, and makes no mention of how it will really help big biz. Congress uses a rarely-used rule to obliterate basic regs on coal industry and payments to foreign entities.
T’s Cabinet nominees openly lie on their ethics/disclosure statements, and in testimony, about conflicts of interests and robosignings).
Devos believes in, and has multi-millions invested in, crackpot child learning theories/businesses.
National Security Advisor puts Iran “on notice”, with as much detail and planning and communication as T’s Executive Orders. Especially noteworthy was no notice given to commanders in that arena.
T says Iran is “not behaving”.
T lies about the condition of Iran as a country, that they are failing, and says Obama bolstered them.
Spicer lies that Iran attacked a US vessel.
T tweets that Obama was weak.
STILL NO CONDOLENCES FROM T ON THE CANADIAN MOSQUE SHOOTING. (White killer, Muslim victims).
T phones Putin, no mention of election hacking or Ukraine, (where Russia is right now invading and killing and blowing things up).
T excuses Putin’s crimes, by saying that the US is also “not innocent”.
Sanctions relaxed on Russia, and secret payments are now allowed to Russia (and other foreign entities, from US corps).
Treasury Dept allowing some business flow to FSB, the current incarnation of the KGB.
T yells at Aussie PM on phone, abruptly hangs up, and lies about conversation, lies about the deal Obama made with the PM, lies about the status of the immigrants involved, calling them illegals, and in prison. Later said the Obama-Aussie deal was “dumb”, and “worst deal ever”, but he will probably honor it.
T yells at Mexican president on the phone, and lies about it. T tells Mexican president that he has to effectively deal with the “bad hombres” down there, or he will invade Mexico. Later, a spokesperson said T was only being “lighthearted”.
T executes poorly planned and poorly communicated raid in Yemen, a Navy SEAL dies, civilians die, and it is blamed on Obama. Kushner and Bannon planned and gave the go ahead for the mission over dinner with T. Poor intelligence, and “almost everything went wrong” that could go wrong, says a top military official.
Spicer lies about the intelligence gained from the mission, the readiness for the mission, and blames it on Obama.
T visits fallen soldier and family with his daughter in tow.
Within 24 hours of visiting the fallen SEAL’s family, T brags again about his election victory and his Apprentice ratings (vs. his successor’s) at the National Prayer Breakfast, and asks for us to “pray for” Arnold Schwarzenegger’s ratings. Also says “the hell with it”. Makes no mention of visiting the fallen soldier.
T says he grew up in a “churched home”
Spicer thinks the PDB is the PBD, and lies that it is not really necessary for the president to actually receive the raw data that composes the PDB.
Bannon tells the media to “shut up”.
After violent protest on UC Berkeley campus, which forced the cancellation of a hateful racist (proven by published articles) speaker, T blames the university and threatens to illegally withhold their Federal funding!
T was reportedly about to sign an Exec Order to strike down LGBTQ protections, but was talked out of it.
Continuing suspicion and unprecedented leaks within the Administration. Some are saying leaks are done to get things on TV, so T will pay attention to that info.
T tweets policy statements (proven by timeline) directly after seeing Fox News stories.
Continued Exec Orders promised. This is T’s management MO.
T threatens to fire all Inspectors General.
Kushner working with Bannon to build a think tank in the White House.
T continues to call the media the enemy, destabilize the government, and show open opposition to institutions.
At what point will T hurt his own business interests by acting in the best interest of the rest of us and his country?
PLEASE ADD ANYTHING I MISSED IN THE COMMENTS.
Thank you for reading.
