Rogue POTUS Staff

POTUS suggesting that there may need to be a bigger Secret Service contingent for Mar-a-Lago visits, in light of last weekend's breach.

"I said it wouldn't be that bad. See, I was right. Why do we spend so much money when I'm smarter than all the scientists." POTUS on snow.

KAC: "He can't donate business profits because they don't want him to be involved in business operations."

POTUS has NOT donated any part of his salary, nor profits from government business. Nor does he plan to.

POTUS doesn't even care about fulfilling a campaign promise. Only cares that healthcare is "why people love me."

Sinking suspicion that Tran really did have an "appointment." Bannon wants this to be pretext for "security improvements."

What have we come to when American democracy sounds like revolution? We are losing ourselves to the tyranny of POTUS.https://twitter.com/BarbaraHamrick/status/840775657399304193 …

13. The proverbial sh*t is hitting the fan EVERY SINGLE DAY and the damage is being done. It will be exceptionally hard to undo.

12. What’s worse: The really unsettling stuff, the breakdown of rules and norms IS HAPPENING NOW, not at some hypothetical future point.

11. Those who sound the alarm will be scoffed at. Many Americans won't see the damage. And some will CHEER Trump as he tightens his grip.

10. But the liberties undergirding what used to be normal life will start crumbling. Freedoms that were taken for granted will be gone.

9. In fact, as Constitutional rights dissolve, the trappings of everyday existence continue. Life ALWAYS goes on.https://twitter.com/peterdaou/status/835280460230033408 …

8. As I wrote recently, a BIG misconception among people accustomed to democracy is that when freedoms are curtailed, life grinds to a halt.

7. The news media squandered their credibility by helping to elect Trump, so don't put your faith in them. You'll be let down if you do.

6. The new #travelban has a better chance in the courts than its predecessor. Meanwhile, we're already hearing deportation horror stories.

5. #TrumpRussia is at a fever pitch now, but could STILL fizzle. GOP leaders have abdicated their duties, cravenly covering for Trump.

4. Here's the bitter truth: It CAN and IS happening here. @brianklaas explains how American democracy has suffered.https://twitter.com/brianklaas/status/840193562880929792 …

3. Bannon has explicitly said that the fury of the opposition is perceived as validation of success. FRICTION GIVES THEM TRACTION.
