Misadventures of a minority-elect President 41

Voters remorse for yet another Trump supporter whose husband is being deported, Trump gives GOP ultimatum om voting for his fraudulent healthcare con, more evidence alleging Trump team gave Russians a hand in releasing Hillary Clinton smears, FBI uncovering evidence of treason in Trump’s White House, questioning who’s running America while its joke of a presidential twit tweets, there appears to be no end in sight in Trump’s land of delusions, in what is becoming more typical in Trumpland, the White House violated another law trying to pass its fraudulent healthcare con law, 7 years to replace Obamacare and the GOP – led by Trump – can’t even do that, Trump’s conflicts of interests could – and should – be the end of his illegitimate presidency, Trump’s issues with never apologizing or admitting he made a mistake, more on Trump still living in the land of delusion, ignorantly approving Keystone XL could come back to haunt Trump, still blaming everyone else for his own miserable failures, poll finds majority of voters horrified by Trump budget – which is ironic since a majority of voters were horrified by him too, staying engaged is the best way to resist Trump, a loser president – Dan rather hits Trump where it hurts and more.

“CNN has some breaking news:

The FBI has information that indicates associates of President Donald Trump communicated with suspected Russian operatives to possibly coordinate the release of information damaging to Hillary Clinton’s campaign, US officials told CNN….The FBI is now reviewing that information, which includes human intelligence, travel, business and phone records and accounts of in-person meetings.

….One law enforcement official said the information in hand suggests “people connected to the campaign were in contact and it appeared they were giving the thumbs up to release information when it was ready.” But other U.S. officials who spoke to CNN say it’s premature to draw that inference from the information gathered so far since it’s largely circumstantial.

Apparently this is all “raising suspicions” among counterintelligence officers about ties between Russia and the Trump campaign…”

This may be the worst defense of Trump’s Obama-wiretapped-me claim – literally article from the Washington Post. –

“Rep. Devin Nunes (R-Calif.) is chairman of the House Intelligence Committee, which means he’s in charge of investigating President Trump’s evidence-free allegation that President Barack Obama wiretapped his offices.

But Nunes doesn’t seem particularly worried that the current president accused the former president of a crime. Echoing so many Republican defenses of Trump’s tweets, he suggested Tuesday that Trump’s allegation simply shouldn’t be taken at face value.

Here’s what Nunes said:

The president is a neophyte to politics. He’s been doing this a little over a year. And I think a lot of the things that he says, you guys sometimes take literally. Sometimes he doesn’t have 27 lawyers and staff looking at what he does — which is, I think, at times refreshing and at times can also lead us to have to be sitting at a press conference like this, answering questions that you guys are asking. But at the end of the day, I think tweets are a very transparent way for a politician of any rank to communicate with their constituents. So I don’t think we should attack the president for tweeting.

There are a couple straw men here. One is the idea that Trump needs “27 lawyers” reading his tweets before they go out. The implication is that Trump didn’t really know what he was saying would be a big deal…”
