Chronicling the misadventures of our forever Impeached 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 forever Impeached malignant minority-elect president* begins with how the coronavirus pandemic and his treasonous response to Russian bounties on U.S. troops in Afghanistan have exacerbated the imminent implosion of his massive failure of a presidency, he is going to pay a big price for his criminally negligent failed response to the coronavirus pandemic, his niece confirms that all he ever does is lie about everything because it gives him pleasure, Donnie’s in trouble now because his delusional distractions and lies aren’t working any more and he’s not handling it well and so much more.

A Complete Analysis Of Trump’s 180th Unpresidented Week As POTUS article from Rantt.

More on the ongoing axiomatic corruption and stupidity being perpetrated by Trump who has failed miserably in more ways than one, but the coronavirus pandemic and his treasonous actions with Russian bounties on U.S. troops in Afghanistan are currently hurting him the most.

Millions of Americans are about to find out just how badly they’ve been screwed by Trump and the GOP article from The Daily Kos.

As the coronavirus pandemic continues raging and reversing the ‘gains’ made in jobs last month while the economy continues crashing and burning due to Trump’s criminal negligence in his failed pandemic response, people are going to be devastated as benefits budgeted to help everyone, especially unemployed, are about to expire at the end of July, and they are going to be pissed off royally as they should be…

The Don appears to have forgotten that he is currently the president* in his land of delusion in which he blames the Democratic presidential nominee for everything his failed criminal regime is responsible for:

The floor is collapsing under Trump as COVID-19 hits his base article from Alternet.

Now that the rapidly expanding coronavirus pandemic is destroying states that voted for his corrupt and ignorant ass, Donald is losing more of his base and he can’t handle it:

“I have long argued that conservatives’ innate empathy deficit requires them to suffer directly from societal problems and controversies before they will support basic concepts, like the value of the social safety net or the importance of medical research or the morality of same-sex marriage. We’ve seen this play out with the COVID-19 crisis, as the virus first hit urban centers and coastal regions rather than Republican strongholds.

Republican governors, with only a few exceptions, did not take the pandemic seriously enough and put too much emphasis on reopening their economies. They are now suffering the consequences, and their constituents are turning on them, and on the president. Gallup shows Trump’s approval rating sinking to 38 percent, and the explanation is based almost entirely on new people being impacted by COVID-19.

Pew Research Center polls show Trump’s approval is slipping fastest in the 500 counties where the number of cases have been more than 28 coronavirus deaths per 100,000 people.

Pew surveyed voters in late March and the same people again in late June, and found 17% of those who approved of the president in March now disapprove…”

When Does Incompetence Become Criminal?

C19 lies Trump from Pinterest

At what point does profound incompetence become criminal negligence? President Donald J. Trump’s unmitigated, malicious response in the handling of the coronavirus pandemic (COVID-19) which has infected more than 3.50M people and killed 140,000 in the U.S. alone so far has by any rational accounts been nothing but a massive failure that warrants a closer look to answer. Despite his malevolent negligence and dereliction of duty in handling the pandemic, Trump has dubiously denied any responsibility for his and his administration’s failed response to it.

Since its appearance, which Trump took almost two months to start responding to, the coronavirus has spread like wildfire and his immoral, incompetent and profoundly corrupt inactions have revealed that he only cares about himself along with new depths of depravity and criminality for him to try and profit from politically. Trump’s contentious coronavirus crime spree and negligence in responding to the coronavirus pandemic has resulted in killing more Americans in three months than the Vietnam War did in ten years.

From day one Trump has lied about having the coronavirus pandemic under control. In fact, if he and his administration had spent as much time fighting the coronavirus pandemic crises as they do covering up his crimes, falsifying and fabricating propaganda for all his distractions and enriching his fraudulent billionaire friends and owners, America wouldn’t be facing over 138,000 deaths and record unemployment. The price America pays for Trump’s malfeasance is growing exponentially.

Even if you try to spin all of Trump’s other malfeasance and crimes – terrorizing immigrants, fraudulent tax cuts for his billionaire buddies, eviscerating the environment, attacking free speech and the press, obstructions of Justice, and his countless other acts of Treason, the way he responded to the pandemic is an unforgivable, criminally negligent utter failure which is compounded by the fact that he blatantly admitted that he told his administration to quit testing people for COVID-19 to purposely keep reported numbers of it low. Most people with any shred of decency and empathy for others would realize that we were facing a dire crisis unlike any other in our life time. But Trump only cares about himself. Consequently, for almost two months after Trump was notified, he did absolutely nothing as the crisis continued spiraling out of control and America remains woefully unprepared.

Chronicling the misadventures of our forever Impeached 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 forever Impeached malignant minority-elect president* begins with his inability to accept responsibility for his moronic minions dying due to his epic failed response to the coronavirus pandemic and he can’t feel any empathy or remorse so he tries to blame everyone else, still having difficulty telling the truth despite the bubble in his alternate reality bursting and bringing him down, on the many dubious ways we’ve never had a president like Trump before, how he’s desperately trying to make you forget how stupid he is after suggesting injecting disinfectant to cure the coronavirus – and how it too will fail miserably as with everything else he does and so much more.

Trump shows a total inability to have empathy or remorse when confronted with the consequences of his actions article from Alternet.

Trump’s epic failure of a response to the coronavirus pandemic is causing deaths to his moronic supporters, along with the rest of us and anyone foolish enough to believe his ignorant ass, and he’s incapable of feeling empathy or remorse – which is why he lies all the time and tries to blame everyone else for his f*&k ups.

A Complete Analysis Of Trump’s 169th Unpresidented Week As POTUS article from Rantt.

A look at the Donald’s most recent failed week in which committed a crime by telling his moronic minions to protest stay-at-home orders while further endangering the idiots that are his base – and the rest of us – with his constant ignorant malfeasance and lies, furthering his failed response to the coronavirus crisis.

Nancy Pelosi Bluntly Sumps Up Trump’s Pandemic Response: ‘Delay, Denial, Death’ article from PoliticusUSA.

Speaker Pelosi gave Donnie a failing grade for his failed response to the coronavirus pandemic due to his profound corruption and ignorance – and it’s not getting any better:

Fringe Protests Can’t Distract From Trump’s Failures article from The New Yorker.

Having a massive fraud for a president* whose massive coronavirus pandemic response failure has cost tens of thousands of lives encouraging a bought and paid for right-wing minority of idiots to protest shelters-in-place and telling them to ‘Liberate’ their governors isn’t going to bode well for the Don:

“The demonstrations against the coronavirus shutdowns came to upstate New York on Monday, with a lunchtime “Gridlock Buffalo” protest, at which cars and trucks blockaded Niagara Square, in the heart of the city. The event was specifically directed at Governor Andrew Cuomo, who recently extended his stay-at-home order until May 15th, but it was similar to protests in Kentucky, Maryland, Michigan, Minnesota, Texas, Wisconsin, and other states.

According to the Buffalo News, the person behind Monday’s protest was Rus Thompson, a local conservative activist and supporter of Donald Trump who was involved in a pro-Trump protest last summer timed to coincide with a pro-impeachment rally. This is not surprising. A demonstration in Lansing, Michigan, last week which attracted national attention was organized by “a group founded by a pro-Trump state representative and his wife, Meshawn Maddock, who is on the advisory board for an official Trump campaign group called ‘Women for Trump,’ ” the Associated Press reported. And, according to the New York Times, a protest outside the statehouse in Austin, Texas, which took place on Saturday, was organized by Owen Shroyer, the host of a radio program from Infowars, the right-wing disinformation Web site.

The fact that Trump supporters and right-wing entities are instigating the protests doesn’t mean they don’t have any popular support, of course. But it should figure more prominently in media coverage. So should the scale of the demonstrations, which, in many cases, has been modest. The biggest was the one in Lansing, which attracted several thousand protestors, in cars and on foot, local police said. In Brookfield, Wisconsin, and Annapolis, Maryland, the participants numbered in the hundreds, according to local news reports. In Frankfort, Kentucky, last Wednesday, “about 100 people” called on Governor Andy Beshear to reopen businesses, the Louisville Courier-Journal reported. And in Madison, Wisconsin, “a few dozen people marched around the Capitol,” on Saturday, the local weekly Isthmus reported.

These gatherings pale in comparison with other mass protests we have seen in recent years, including the Tea Party rallies in 2009 that attracted hundreds of thousands of participants. Immediately after Trump was elected, several million Americans took part in local and national versions of the Women’s March. Following the February, 2018, high-school massacre in Parkland, Florida, the March for Our Lives drew hundreds of thousands of people to Washington, D.C., and other cities. As recently as last December, tens of thousands of people marched to demand Trump’s impeachment…”

Trump’s latest tweets are an alternative world where the pandemic takes a backseat to MSNBC coverage article from Vox.

Due to his despotic delusions of grandeur, Trump – our Twitter tyrant – believes that all the delusional bull shit he tweets is akin to God’s words but that isn’t preventing his alternate reality from imploding.

Trying to blame everyone else for his massive coronavirus pandemic response begins today’s misadventures of our forever Impeached malevolent minority-elect president* as he tries desperately to deflect the blame from himself as usual, despotic delusions of grandeur are still running rampant in Trumpland – which is still incapable of handling facts and the truth – courtesy of his massive coronavirus pandemic failure – Trump has wiped out his predecessor’s entire recovery from the last depression and so much more.

A Complete Analysis Of Trump’s 168th Unpresidented Week As POTUS article from Rantt.

A look at how Trump’s massive coronavirus pandemic response is failing bigly and how he’s trying to blame everyone else.

Trump’s latest coronavirus press briefing featured one of his most memorable meltdowns yet article from Vox News.

Trump is desperately trying to rewrite the history of his failed pandemic response and as usual is failing miserably:

Trump Declares He Has ‘Total’ Authority As President In Defiant Press Briefing article from the Huffington Post.

Despotic delusions of grandeur still run rampant in Trumpland as he claims that he has total authority over governors to reopen states when in fact he does not.

This Fake President Must Resign article from Common Dreams.

Being unable to handle his job – let alone the coronavirus pandemic – due to his profound corruption and stupidity – is proving problematic for our forever impeached, illegitimate president*:

“It appears that whatever luck America has regularly enjoyed has now run out since our worst president holds the office when our worst pandemic in a century is afflicting us.

In his daily Trumpaganza show, the president keeps saying that he is learning a lot. But given his chronic inability to process information, just what is he learning? Apparently to keep relentlessly returning to his basic formula of chest-beating, blame-shifting, and disinformation. Trump demands credit for any good news, refuses any responsibility, whines that he’s the victim of mean governors/media/China/W.H.O./Democrats, churns out false promises and conspiracy theories (e.g. Hero nurses slipping ventilators out the back door? Really?) yet never seriously rallies the country behind a national plan entailing short-term sacrifice and struggle. He’s no Winston Churchill, nor even the Queen of England based on her inspiring remarks last week.

Now it’s largely too late to cabin the virus given his wishful thinking for two months between mid-January through mid-March and lost trust after a lifetime of lies. A person who thinks he can get away with altering the weather with a sharpie won’t have the trust necessary to defeat this invader.

Trump’s one reliable focus has been on his reelection image as a self-proclaimed “war-time president.” Yet instead of a Dr. Win-the-War, as FDR was famously called for his skill at projecting both candor and confidence, we get a smiley-face Dr. Pangloss straining two weeks ago to issue an “all clear” for the economy by Easter Sunday…until doing a 180° after seeing overwhelmingly negative polls. He then quickly implied that any number of fatalities less than 240,000 would vindicate him in November, appearing to move-the-goal posts in the hope of scoring at least a field goal by Labor Day. “In what circle of hell,” asks Susan Rice, “is that a good outcome?”…”

Donald Trump’s scapegoat hunt: Blame China, blame Fauci, blame the governors article from Salon.

Presidential Pandemonium Punctuates U.S. Pandemic Failure

Leave a reply
It’s All About Me, All Of The Time Trump from Crooks and Liars

The daily dose of the President* Donald J. Trump Con Man Show passed off as a Coronavirus Pandemic Response Press Briefing which is used to promote lies, falsehoods, ignorance littered with corruption and Conspiracy Theories while congratulating himself for delusional embellishments that exist only in what little is left of his very unstable mind are quite revealing and his pandemonium is quite dangerous. The so-called press briefings have devolved into miniature rallies to benefit the fatally flawed personality traits – self-aggrandizing Sociopathic narcissism – that benefits no one but himself while causing more dubious distractions.

The man who doesn’t take responsibility for his massive failure of a response to the pandemic outbreak and doesn’t listen to professionals who warned him months before the outbreak occurred and feels no empathy towards others and only cares about himself is in no position to handle the National Emergency we’re experiencing now. The results of the massive failure that has been Trump’s Coronavirus Pandemic response is all his fault, and in fact, much of that massive failure that has been the Trump Administration’s reaction to the Coronavirus pandemic could easily be construed as criminal:

Using the so-called press briefings to stay in the spotlight while gaslighting the nation isn’t working out too well for Trump as more and more people are realizing how incompetent he is. Instead of informing the U.S. population about fighting the Coronavirus pandemic and acting Presidential, he has corrupted that opportunity and transformed them into reelection campaign rallies wherein he attacks his political rivals, Governors and others that are critical of his failed response, pushes untested drug and herbal supplement treatments as well as other Conspiracy Theories crafted by Fox faux News and a couple of his other propaganda outlets, attacked the press for using his words against him and revealed exactly why he never belonged in the White House to begin with.

Trump is a one trick pony. As long as he’s the center of attention he’s happy and he’ll say and do anything to keep the spotlight on himself. You can rest assured that Trump’s pandemonium is intentional. It’s designed to keep him in the spotlight, deflect from his incompetence, distract us from the crimes he is committing and to cater to his endless corrupt delusions. The only thing it has resulted in so far is more American deaths from the Coronavirus, record unemployment and total chaos as hospitals scramble for supplies and small businesses wonder if they’ll ever recover. Meanwhile Trump says his gut will lead him but as the past three plus years have shown, that only means another corrupted moronic decision based on demented delusion that will benefit him and his cohorts is headed our way.

TRUMP ISN’T CAPABLE OF RESPONDING TO THE CORONAVIRUS PANDEMIC

The Coronavirus outbreak that has been unleashed upon the world is unlike anything we’ve ever seen in our lifetime but dystopian delusions – ignorant bull shit – lies and rage tweeting don’t destroy diseases and someone apparently forgot to send our president* that memo. Using a bully pulpit and interrupting daily television programming to misinform and gaslight everyone while distracting with more deception and misinformation to cover up his latest crime spree only serves to highlight the fact that Trump doesn’t have a plan to deal with the pandemic, isn’t capable of handling a crisis, isn’t presidential – nor will he every be – and that in fact he should have been removed from office when he was impeached.

No limit to stupid 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:

We begin today’s misadventures of our malignant minority-elect president* with his committing yet another act of Treason – this time by calling for Civil War if he is impeached, which unfortunately probably won’t happen in time for the next presidential election, Trump resorts to bluster and bull shit to try and weasel his way out of impeachment – which, like everything else he does, will fail miserably, you can tell the pressure the impeachment inquiry is taking on Trump by the way he’s acting – and we haven’t even gotten to the good part yet, the Donald is and always has been a national embarrassment – but now the world is starting to notice it more, Trump’s Twitter feed will most likely be used as evidence during his impeachment inquiry, all of Trump’s desperate attempts to claim innocence of any Treasonous wrongdoings are quickly being turned against him which is making him look even more foolish and guilty, Trump’s corruption permeates his entire administration and so much more.

Trump Hints at Civil War But He Launched a War on Facts article from Bloomberg News.

Trump committed Treason – yet again – desperately suggesting his supporters would start a Civil War, but he failed to note all the lies he has told since being ‘elected.’

Rachel Maddow Busts Trump For Extorting Ukraine For Political Gain Since Last Year article from PoliticusUSA.

It remains to be seen how many more countries are involved, but one thing is perfectly clear: Trump has been extorting foreign countries for personal political gain and it’s going to end his corrupt, failed presidency:

Trump Never Learns article from The Atlantic.

Being a so-called stable genius isn’t working too well for Trump since his profoundly ignorant and corrupt ass keeps digging himself a deeper hole that he can’t seem to slither out of.

There’s lots of Trump scandal news – but one clear scandal article from Vox.

Don’t be confused by all the bluster and bull shit being bloviated by our wannabe dictator – he’s in deep and he’s growing more desperate as he slowly begins to realize it:

“It’s been roughly a week since House Speaker Nancy Pelosi announced an impeachment inquiry into President Donald Trump, and the underlying Ukraine scandal keeps spiraling in new directions. Recent reports about Trump and Attorney General William Barr’s contact with leaders in Australia, Italy, and the UK have created a sense of sprawling mess, making it seem like a tough-to-follow meta-scandal akin to the Trump-Russia morass.

But despite the new developments — which involve Trump and Barr attempting to enlist foreign leaders’ help in investigating the origins of the Trump-Russia probe — the scandal remains straightforward.

President Trump has turned American foreign policy into an extortion racket, abusing his powers to goad foreign leaders into persecuting his domestic rivals and improve his political standing. The proof for this in the case of Ukraine is irrefutable. The other news stories are supporting evidence that Trump has systematically twisted US foreign policy into a tool for furthering his 2020 reelection bid.

The elegant simplicity of this narrative, the way in which it neatly encapsulates so many things wrong with the Trump presidency, is what gives these allegations the potential to bring this administration down. It is important not to let the seeming complexity and international breadth of what’s happening get in your way, in part because confusion and apathy are the White House’s best hope for containing the fallout from recent revelations…”

Cornered Trump turns to implied threats of violence: How worried should we be? article from Salon.

Donnie is cornered and he knows he’s going down, so being the demented bully that he is, he resorts to bluster and vitriolic bull shit to try and intimidate everyone – and unfortunately some of his less civil minions might end up blowing a gasket.

Trump is president. That’s reason enough not to go to war with North Korea article from The Guardian. –
https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2017/apr/20/trump-president-reason-not-go-war-north-korea

“Famous quotes sometimes become clichés that insult one’s intelligence. Consider, for example, the oft-cited phrase “Know your enemy, and know yourself,” from the 5th century BCE Chinese general Sunzi. How can ignorance about one’s own ability and capabilities, and the enemy’s, be anything but harmful?

Fast forward 2,500 years, to an April 17 interview on Fox, when US President Donald Trump twice referenced “this gentleman” in North Korea, who “outplayed” Presidents Bill Clinton and Barack Obama – to explain that he, Trump, would not be fooled. The problem, however, is Trump didn’t seem to understand that the “gentleman” Kim Jong Il, who frustrated Trump predecessors, died in December 2011, and therefore no longer rules North Korea.

After weeks of provocative language from Pyongyang and Washington, the two sides are dangerously close to conflict – and Trump doesn’t seem to understand who leads the country he might attack.

Managing North Korea has been an almost uniquely difficult problem for US presidents. And the three generations of Kims who have ruled the nation since its founding in 1948 – Kim Il Sung, Kim Jong Il and Kim Jong Un – have shown an almost unique willingness to endanger and sacrifice the lives of North Korea’s people for their own enrichment and security, weakening American-led effects to sanction and isolate the country…”

“As Trump built his empire, he attracted a criminal element whose ties still bind.

As President Trump discovers the prerogative of unilaterally making war, the media gaze has turned away from the ongoing FBI, House and Senate investigation of his Russia ties to the simpler dramas of cruise missiles, big bombs and tough but loose talk on North Korea.

Yet even the “mother of all bombs” cannot obliterate the accumulating body of evidence about his relationship with Russian organized crime figures and the not unrelated question about whether he and his entourage colluded with Russian officials in the 2016 presidential election. The story, notes Talking Points Memo’s Josh Marshall, is “Hiding in plain sight.”

The evidence of pre-election collusion between Trump and the Russians, while growing, is far from definitive. The evidence on Trump’s organized crime ties is stronger. Says Marshall:

“If we’d never heard about Russian intelligence hacking of the 2016 election or Carter Page or Paul Manafort or Sergei Kislyak this [Trump’s organized crime connections] would seem like an extraordinarily big deal. And indeed it is an extraordinarily big deal.”…”

“President Trump rose to power on a combination of meanness, incoherence and falsehoods. His strategy depended almost entirely on playing off the unpopularity and weaknesses of others.

Every aspect of his approach has blown up on him since he took office, but as is always the case with Trump, he will not take any personal responsibility for what’s going wrong. He must find a scapegoat. The latest object of his opprobrium would seem to be Steve Bannon, the chief White House strategist.

But dumping Bannon would only underscore the extent to which Trump is a political weathervane, gyrating wildly with the political winds. He’s “populist” one day, conventionally conservative the next, and centrist the day after that. His implicit response is: Who cares? Let’s just get through another week…”
