Donald Trump, the ultimate bully, somehow managed to demean the Presidential campaign of 2016, bringing it down to a lower level of civility than any Presidential campaign in American history, and the American people, or at least the 46 percent who voted for him in the “right” places so as to award him the Electoral College, chose to overlook it,
But the incorrigible Donald Trump, who has spent his life treating people this way since he was a child, has refused to stop, and has engaged in character assassination against any and all critics in his public statements and on Twitter, with no sense of embarrassment, or any willingness to apologize in his 161 days in the Presidency, and has brought the level of ethics and morality down to an all tome low.
He has become a burden to the nation, and undermined trust in all nations around the world, which used to look at the US as a beacon of hope.
He has endorsed dictatorships and tough tactics, and ridiculed our allies and friends, and has, in particular, showed total lack of respect for women, in a way that creates future generations of men who will think it is just fine to act the way he does, when it is not at all acceptable.
Donald Trump has become the Demeaner in Chief; the Misogynist in Chief; the Bigot in Chief; the Liar in Chief; and brought the Presidency to an all time low of behavior, and he should be widely condemned for it by all decent people.
If any corporate leader or any public figure acted in this way on a regular basis, he would be summarily dismissed, or denied any privileges or respect, and we are nearing the time when it could be argued that his behavior is a sign of mental illness that is dangerous, and a good reason to impeach and remove him, as a disgrace to the office he holds!
I’ve been watching re-runs of season 2 of Supergirl. They’ve been very anti-Trump this season. 🙂
Mika and Joe said that the White House used the National Enquirer as a threat.

Lawrence O’Donnell’s comments during his show last night. http://www.msnbc.com/the-last-word/watch/lawrence-on-trump-and-the-women-he-hates-980073539893
Speaking of Lawrence, his contract has been renewed. He’ll be staying on MSNBC and at his 10 pm time slot. Part of it was thanks to protests against the network trying to shift to the right.

Greta’s show has been cancelled after poor ratings. Ari Melber is taking over her 6 pm time slot. 🙂

Andrew Lack needs to depart for Fox if he is so hyped with plans for conservative programing. He can take along his recent conservative talkers – Bret Stephens, Megyn Kelly, and Hugh Hewitt – with him.
Trump has appointed a voter suppression advocate to the election commission.

Speaking of that election commission, the reason for it is that Trump wants to know how everyone in the US voted because he wants to know why he did not win the popular vote.
Our state is one of those refusing to comply with the data request from Trump’s voter suppression commission.
25 states so far are resisting. https://www.washingtonpost.com/national/trumps-voting-commission-asked-states-to-hand-over-election-data-theyre-pushing-back/2017/06/30/cd8f812a-5dce-11e7-9b7d-14576dc0f39d_story.html?utm_term=.b33171367c79
Trump’s travel ban 2.0 has gone into effect. Grandparents, aunts and uncles, cousins, in-laws, aren’t considered close family relationships.
