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.

Congratulations to Jeb Hensarling & Republicans on successful House vote to repeal major parts of the 2010 Dodd-Frank financial law. GROWTH!

Despite so many false statements and lies, total and complete vindication...and WOW, Comey is a leaker!

Great reporting by @foxandfriends and so many others. Thank you!

.@RealDonaldTrump says "Comey's a leaker." A private citizen giving a friend private, non-classified documents isn't leaking

Good for Trump there's no very clear and topical evidence of him using "hope" as a threat. Wait. https://t.co/Jx1xLgDYnO

GOP using Comey hearing/Russia as shell game. Dodd-Frank repeal is real focus & has been "close to #1" on list of priorities since election.

So far during Comey hearing staff have taken 4 cellphones and 1 iPad away from Pres; he just can't help himself, he has to tweet.
— Rogue WH Snr Advisor (@RogueSNRadvisor) June 8, 2017
After Comey hearing Pres "doesn't want to hear another word about Russia - from anyone." Don't think that's gonna happen, Donnie.
— Rogue WH Snr Advisor (@RogueSNRadvisor) June 8, 2017
Pres says the result of the Comey hearing "means I'll be president for at least the next 8 years."

POTUS says everyone should move on after yesterday, but his top objective today is to find more ways to make Comey look bad.

If you believe Trump's lawyer, Comey must have secretly made up a fake story & then told witnesses & wrote memos about it contemporaneously. https://t.co/aXcecVqbTd
— Ted Lieu (@tedlieu) June 9, 2017
Let's not forget DAG Rosenstein wrote an entire memo used to mislead American people that Trump fired Comey b/c he treated Hillary unfairly.

Trump "didn't know" we have troops in Qatar. He should know what countries we have our military in. Important for countless reasons. #resist https://t.co/QbgvMz9b8I

The point of Comey's testimony wasn't to convict Trump-it was to aid and assist Mueller's case. He accomplished that.
