Trump
claims to have the most successful 13 week presidency to date while
he has been in office 11 weeks.
Trump's
nominee for FDA Commissioner, Dr. Scott Gottlieb, thinks the FDA puts
too much emphasis on consumer protection. Think about that. He also
has received tens of thousands of dollars in speaking fees from the
opioid industry, specifically the makers of oxycodone, has lobbied on
their behalf, and doesn't believe it should be restrained or held
accountable for it's part in the opioid epidemic in this country.
Military

and Syria in the month of March alone.

crocodile tears for the victims after Assad's gas attack.
After
claiming that HRC would be a warmonger during the campaign, Trump has
refused to fill State Department positions essential for diplomacy
and negotiating with foreign countries and instead bypassed Congress
and launched an air missile attack on Syria in an act of war, an act
that is illegal by our own laws and also by international law.
Trump
informed Russia of the impending missile attack on Syria before he
informed Congress. Syria was also informed and evacuated personnel
and equipment in advance of the attack which destroyed six broken
planes and a mess hall and left the runways and other essential
buildings intact and killed several civilians.
Trump
owns stock in the company that makes the missiles and profits every
time one is used.

ensuring the continued poaching of elephants which are already on the
endangered species list.
Perjurer

In
3 months, Trump has already spent almost double Obama's annual travel
budget and this does not include the cost of protecting his 3
residences...White House, Mar A Lago, NY penthouse.
Tourism
is down markedly in response to Trump's attempted travel bans and the
heightened security checks at the border including demanding
traveler's phones, passwords, contact lists, and social media
accounts as well as more extreme 'pat downs' and the risk of being
detained. Mexicans in particular are going to Canada instead.
Trump's
White House...one word. Nepotism.
Not
satisfied with the illegal bombing of Syria, Trump is poking the
hornet's nest by sending warships, under orders to take an aggressive
stance, to patrol North Korea.
Already
under investigation by the FBI and both houses of Congress, the
Government Accountability Office has announced an investigation of
Trump’s presidential transition over conflicts of interest.
AG
Jeff Sessions, in a speech to border patrol agents on the US/Mexico
border, refers to illegal immigrants as 'filth'. “This
is a new era,” he said. “This is the Trump era.”
WH
Spokesperson Sean Spicer, in some sort of weird defense of Trump,
claimed that not even Hitler gassed his own people. Let that sink
in.

dump toxic waste in these smaller bodies that are essential for the
population's drinking water and health of wildlife.

ReplyDeleteI know, right? And so many people are so ill informed that they have no idea what the fuck is going on.
DeleteAnd what did we do? What can we do? I am sure there is action going on behind the scenes, but until I see some concrete results of that action...I just want to scream. Thank you for posting all this information - the nightmare glides forward.
ReplyDeleteThe horror continues. Every week has more horrible decisions.
ReplyDeleteI fear Trump will start WWIII, and that will be he end. There seems to be little diplomacy but lots of Twitter.
ReplyDeleteThis post needs to go on every front page of every newspaper in America.
ReplyDeleteAnd that's only half of it!! Look what the GOP is doing in the House and Senate while we are so distracted with Trump's pompous world. It's not just him it's ALL OF THEM! VOTE Blue in NOV to regain control and equality!! It's the only tool we have to rectify the situation.
