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.

Obama warned POTUS that Flynn is a bad mgr. This wouldn't be a discussion now if POTUS hadn't tried shifting blame a/b sec clearance.

Apparently news has reported that Obama tried to stop POTUS from appointing Flynn. Already has hit POTUS' ears and....Monday's suck.

The odd thing is that Yates isn't expected to say anything substantial today not already known to public. Still, he can't stay focused.

Another good Q: does @PressSec think everyone with a security clearance is qualified to be national security adviser w/o further vetting?

And Trump was getting his national security information FROM FLYNN, having authorized him to have access to that information.
— Joy Reid (@JoyAnnReid) May 8, 2017
A good point just now: Trump was not even taking his natsec briefings during the campaign. Flynn -- a compromised person -- was.
