An under-appreciated problem with the Trump presidency is how he and his staff continuously normalize disaster. Because we witness new scandals, gaffes, coverups, hypocrisy, misdirection, incompetence, atrocity, cronyism, ignorance, racism, xenophobia, treason, embarrassment, lies, dysfunction, power grabs, war escalations, environmental assaults, misogyny and more on a DAILY basis, the magnitude of each is diminished in our consciousness by the simple virtue that we have become saturated. Because of this, we at zenruption will be publishing a daily curation of the events that have been reported, from various sources, including leaks within the White House, so that we can fully experience the level of disaster our executive branch has become and the implications it has on all of us.

Come back often, comment and contribute.
Weird how heads of committees tasked w/ investigating Pres are either quitting or stepping aside, right? Almost like they know something!

How much do I love the twitter war between @alt_labor and Andy Puzder of Carl's Jr. He can't compete and keeps digging himself into a hole. https://t.co/bMjv40PadO

I can see why Trump is confused here. In his election, the person with the most votes was not the winner https://t.co/NLXvJ8dcIg

Weird how the conservatives who spent six years ranting about Solyndra don't have any thoughts on Ivanka profiting off her dad's presidency.
