Today during the House hearing with FBI Director James Comey it came out that the Bureau has been criminally investigating DJT and Co. since July for collusion with Russia. Comey flat-out stated President Obama did NOT wiretap Trump Tower and pointed out that no POTUS could make that order. 

So, in real time, we watched the head of the FBI call the man in the Oval Office a liar. 

SCOTUS confirmation hearings began for Neil Gorsuch, despite the fact there’s growing evidence DJT is not the legitimate POTUS. Which strikes me as inane: the Republicans wouldn’t hold hearings for Merrick Garland because they also flat-out lied when they said a POTUS couldn’t nominate a Supreme Court Justice in his final year in office, but the same Republicans are totally cool with holding confirmation hearings for a judge nominated by a man who might or might not really be the President. 

A few hours ago, the White House announced Ivanka Trump will now have an official staff position and a West Wing office, but that she wouldn’t draw a salary. But she’ll have security clearance, so who gives a shit?

After the election we were told by myriad experts on authoritarian regimes to keep track of day-to-day changes so that DJT’s government wouldn’t become “normal”. 

Which, as it turns out, is not the problem. 

This is pretty fucking far from normal.

Each day is jarring, exhausting, and infuriating. 

Fuck you, Vladimir Putin. 

Fuck you, Donald Trump. 

Fuck you, each person who enables both of them. (Hi, Ivanka!) 

Resist, resist, resist some more, take a nap, eat a sandwich, keep resisting, then hope Steve Bannon’s tongue falls off.
