Well, BOOHOO. Cry a hand full.

Some more of Trump's delusions. He just can't face the fact that most of his followers in the start were fakes and bots. He has never had the followers he thought he had. Besides the "Russians", Bot's and fakes, the people that did follow him was around 35 to 40% of the country at the time. He is so delusional, of the people he did have as followers, have been steadily falling off. Right now about 25 to 30% of the country is still following him.(And I'm being generous with that number.) Even after the twitter purge of fake accounts, Obama still has more followers. And that just eats him up. He wants to believe he is wildly popular. And it's just not true. With all the shyt swirling him, and all he has on his little orange mind is his Twitter followers. Or lack thereof.

Trump mad over losing Twitter followers, White House confirms

"The White House has confirmed reports that President Trump spent much of his Tuesday meeting with Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey complaining about losing social media followers".

"Per the Post, Dorsey explained to the president that the number of followers fluctuates due to the company’s attempts to delete spam accounts and bots. Trump, who has nearly 60 million followers on the service, complained about losing followers back in October after Twitter purged a number of suspended accounts, resulting in a decline of followers across the political spectrum, with Trump losing 200,000 and former President Barack Obama losing 2 million.

Obama has 106 million followers as of today. According to The Daily Beast, Trump has repeatedly complained that the former president “has had more Twitter followers than [Trump] has, even though—by Trump’s own assessment—he is so much better at Twitter than Obama is".

Former Trump Transition Official Calls For Impeachment: 'This Is Serious Stuff'

"J.W. Verret, a George Mason University law professor who served on President Donald Trump’s transition team, is calling on Congress to initiate impeachment proceedings in the wake of special counsel Robert Mueller’s report.

“This is serious stuff,” Verret told CNN’s Don Lemon in an interview Tuesday. “The Mueller report I think is something you can’t look away from. I mean you have to admit it: The emperor has no clothes".

" The Florida man who mailed pipe bombs to critics of President Donald Trump said in a letter to a federal judge that attending a Trump rally "became like a new found drug," according to documents released Tuesday.

Cesar Sayoc, 57, who pleaded guilty to explosives charges last month, claimed in a series of letters that he has abused steroids for over 40 years. The letters were posted in his court case file".

Trump Escalates Feud with House Democrats, Vowing to Fight ‘All the Subpoenas’

"President Trump said Wednesday that he plans to fight all subpoenas issued by congressional Democrats in their investigation of his administration, including requests for his financial records and for the full, unredacted Mueller report".

"We’re fighting all the subpoenas,” the president told reporters outside the White House before heading to a summit on the opioid crisis in Atlanta. “The subpoena is ridiculous. We have been, I have been the most transparent president and administration in the history of our country by far.” "

For a guy who says he's innocent and transparent...he's neither. Trump has been the greatest liar ever to occupy the White House. Trump is the most autocratic President in the history of the USA. No President has shown such great disregard for our Constitution as Trump.

Obstruction of congressional oversight is now a Trump administration policy.
"I have been the most transparent president and administration in the history of our country by far." Liar!!

Trump's controversial immigration policy stirs opposition to new detention centers

"The Trump administration’s plans to expand its long-term immigrant detention capacity to the interior of the country is meeting resistance from advocates, lawmakers and even some corporations in the Midwest, where the government hopes to locate the new facilities.

According to documents posted to a government website that lists federal business opportunities, the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement agency, or ICE, is actively soliciting proposals from prospective contractors to open and operate detention facilities capable of housing approximately 1,000 immigrant detainees within an 80-mile radius of ICE’s Chicago field office, and another to house an estimated 500 detainees within a 100-mile radius of the agency’s field office in St. Paul, Minn".

Trump forms battle plan for post-Mueller probes: Just say no

"As House Democrats ramp up their post-Mueller investigations into President Donald Trump, his strategy for responding is simple: Resist on every legal front. The administration is straining to hold off congressional investigators, including their efforts to obtain the president's tax returns, his business' financial records and testimony from former senior aides".

http://www.apnews.com/776978c0f18c43d09da644c320bf0658


Trump is now openly admitting he doesn't care about the Constitution or the Rule of Law, and he has taken America to a Constitutional crisis. And our mighty Congressional GOP says and does nothing.

So, in other words, he's telling his people to break the law, again, by defying a Congressional subpoena. He really thinks people will fall on their swords for him but they won't - not for a guy who would throw them under the bus in a split second if it benefited him.

Now he wants his followers to be paranoid just like him. Even when there is no reason. The more he talks the more like that nut Alex Jones he sounds.

Trump tells Republican lawmakers to be more ‘paranoid’

"Trump tells Republican lawmakers to be more ‘paranoid’

President Donald Trump once again cast doubt on the integrity of the American electoral process during a Tuesday night speech to the National Republican Congressional Committee.

It was not potential efforts by foreign actors to intervene in the election that had the president worried. But rather a concern that votes would be counted unfairly in favor of Democratic candidates.

Trump offered no evidence to support his fears aside from repeating his alarm over how late vote counting in the 2018 midterm elections seemed to favor Democrats. “There’s something going on,” he said, and warned Republicans "

Nancy Pelosi: Congress Must Approach Trump Impeachment for vanguard news


"House Speaker Nancy Pelosi said Tuesday that efforts to impeach President Donald Trump are not off the table but cautioned lawmakers to wait for Congress to complete its investigations so they can proceed “with a presentation of the facts.”

She added: “What matters is the truth. The investigations that our committees will conduct will take us down a fact-finding path, and everyone should welcome that".

Trump: Mueller report 'didn't lay a glove on me'


"Mueller’s two-year investigation concluded that the Russian government interfered in the 2016 election “in a sweeping and systemic fashion.” A redacted version of Mueller's report released last week found no conspiracy between Russia and Trump’s campaign. But it chronicled at least 10 episodes of efforts by Trump to obstruct the federal probe.

And while the special counsel declined to charge Trump with obstruction of justice, investigators explicitly refused to exonerate the president".

http://news.yahoo.com/trump-mueller-report-didnt-lay-a-glove-on-me-135706846.html

CNN had a town hall on Monday night and the leading presidential candidates were there (including my home town mayor of South Bend Indiana). They all seem to have the ideology that the further left their platform the better the strategy to win.

Contempt of Congress

"The rapid increase during recent years in the number of citations for contempt, and the disappointing results achieved through prosecutions in the courts have turned the attention of members of Congress to a search for better means of assuring respect for the authority of the Legislative Branch of the government".

What happens if Donald Trump refuses a federal court order.

"Last week, Donald Trump signed an executive order closing America’s borders to refugees from Syria and suspending entrance by citizens from seven majority-Muslim countries. In subsequent days, federal judges across the country responded to lawsuits stemming from the travel ban by ordering the Department of Homeland Security to immediately stop enforcing various aspects of the executive order".


http://slate.com/news-and-politics/2017/01/what-happens-if-donald-trump-refuses-a-federal-court-order.html

Having listened to a number of Congressional hearings, it is obvious all the democrats want to do is make political points not actually ask questions with the idea of finding the truth. TO THE DEMOCRATS: If you want to hold hearings, give your questions to a professional investigator and have them do the actual questioning looking for answers not political points. Must be someone in the FBI or other government agency that knows something about questioning a witness!!

This has nothing to do with oversight, only scoring political points for the 2020 election!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

French Ambassador On Donald Trump: ‘A Big Mouth’ Who ‘Reads Basically Nothing’

"Gérard Araud left his post as French ambassador to the U.S. on Friday.

And the diplomat pulled no punches when it came to describing President Donald Trump in an exit interview with the Foreign Policy news website.

Araud, 66, said former President Barack Obama was the “ultimate bureaucrat, an introvert, basically a bit aloof, a restrained president.”

Obama was also “a bit arrogant,” he claimed, but “basically somebody who every night was going to bed with 60-page briefings and the next day they were sent back annotated by the president.”

Trump, however, is “an extrovert, really a big mouth, who reads basically nothing or nearly nothing, with the interagency process totally broken and decisions are taken from the hip basically".

Trump approved payment of $2 million North Korea bill for care of Warmbier: report

"WASHINGTON (Reuters) - President Donald Trump approved payment of a $2 million bill presented by North Korea to cover its care of comatose American Otto Warmbier, a college student who died shortly after being returned home from 17 months in a North Korean prison, the Washington Post reported on Thursday".

http://www.reuters.com/article/us-usa-northkorea-warmbier/trump-approved-payment-of-2-million-bill-for-north-korea-care-of-warmbier-report-idUSKCN1S124E

So, essentially what we have here, this poor American soul was beaten into a coma and died from it. And Trump OK'ed a 2 million dollar payment for doing it. Which means, if you are an American in North Korea, it's open season on you. They can beat you nearly to death, send you home to die and then collect 2 million from our government. And Trump is dumb enough to do it. If I were an American living in NK, I would leave while the getting out is good. Before you wind up in a Kangaroo court and the same thing happens to you.

Trump denies he told the White House counsel to fire Mueller


"President Trump on Thursday claimed that he never told his own White House counsel Don McGahn to fire Robert Mueller, directly contradicting what McGahn told Mueller according to the special counsel’s report on Russia’s interference in the 2016 election and Trump’s repeated efforts to obstruct the probe".

http://news.yahoo.com/trump-claims-he-never-told-mc-gahn-to-fire-mueller-contradicting-special-counsels-report-144253652.html

More lies and deflection by Trump. The simple truth of the matter, Don McGahn has nothing to gain and nothing to lose. So he has no reason to lie. But as we all know, Trump lies just for the sake of lying. He never admits any wrongdoing no matter how outstanding the evidence is.

If anyone has anything to gain or lose, it's Trump. He is the biggest liar in presidential history. Worse than Nixon ever thought about being. Trump doesn't have sense enough to realize that Mueller most likely has phone records to back this up. If he didn't, most likely McGahn would have never been mentioned in public. Most certainly it would have never been mentioned that Trump called him.

House oversight chairman cites 'massive' obstruction by Trump, Barr

House Dem. Threatens Trump Officials with ‘Incarceration’ for Refusing to Honor Subpoenas

"Representative Gerry Connolly (D., Va.), a member of the House Oversight Committee, said Friday that the panel might resort to the threat of incarceration should Trump administration officials continue to ignore its numerous subpoena-backed requests for documents.

“We’re going to resist, and if a subpoena is issued and you’re told you must testify, we will back that up,” Connolly told CNN’s Wolf Blitzer. “And we will use any and all power in our command to make sure it’s backed up — whether that’s a contempt citation, whether that’s going to court and getting that citation enforced, whether it’s fines, whether it’s possible incarceration. We will go to the max to enforce the constitutional role of the legislative branch of government".

Fox News Legal Analyst Unloads On Trump: ‘Unlawful, Defenseless And Condemnable’

"Fox News senior judicial analyst Andrew Napolitano fired off one of his sharpest critiques yet of President Donald Trump based on allegations outlined in special counsel Robert Mueller’s report.

They have a clear case of obstruction against Trump and the aids that continue to follow his orders. A lot of people stand to lose not only their jobs. But they are looking at prison time. I doubt Trump will see the inside of a prison. But those lower level aids, yes. Ruined for life and maybe prison time.

31% believe Trump is exonerated after Mueller report, 56% oppose impeachment: Poll

Trump's approval rating is essentially unchanged at a historically weak 39 percent after the release of the Mueller report, just three in 10 Americans accept the president’s claim to have been exonerated and 58 percent in the latest ABC News/Washington Post poll say the president lied to the public about the matters the special counsel investigated".

https://abcnews.go.com/Politics/31-trump-exonerated-mueller-report-56-oppose-impeachment/story?id=62659425

Which means 69% believe Trump is a crook. 44% believe he should be impeached. I personally don't understand that one. Most folks know by now Trump is a crook. You would think that 69% would want him thrown out. Impeached.

‘Gonna Give Them Hell’: How Trump and His Lawyers Plotted Revenge Fantasy Against the Democrats

...

May I remind everyone, the dems started talking about massive investigations of Trump right after they won the house!!! Nothing new about the democrats now. They had hoped Mueller would hand them a solid reason to impeach Trump; didn't happen so now they are spending their energy looking for a good reason to impeach Trump! They seem to know that if they can't destroy Trump in some way, he will win a second term.

I think its slim he wont be reelected. And I am democrat. My biggest concern is that his ego and incompetence makes us sitting ducks for nefarious dictators who stroke his ego and get their way.

I remember Obama felt pressured to totally disassociate from a PASTOR for ONE sermon about a specific event. I cant imagine what people would have expected if he was found to be making deals or trade offs, or even the appearance of, with an adversarial government.

The appearance of impropriety was strong enough for that Russian real estate deal to be nixed as soon as he took the nomination for President, imho. He put the nail in his own coffin by repeatedly bragging all the people he dealt with in Russia, INCLUDING PUTIN, and then turning back around to claim he had NO business and didnt know PUTIN. all of it is a case of him not being such a competent leader and a very unscrupulous inconsistent human in general.
