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.

The Senate Democrats have only confirmed 48 of 197 Presidential Nominees. They can't win so all they do is slow things down & obstruct!

BREAKING: We just filed a complaint against @DonaldJTrumpJr for illegally soliciting a foreign campaign contributionhttps://t.co/nvKJrwQAtI
— Common Cause (@CommonCause) July 10, 2017
No longer a question that the Trump campaign sought to collude with a hostile foreign power to subvert American democracy.

If you get an email saying the Russian government supports your campaign, how do you not immediately contact the FBI?

Feinstein- "It's a dead bang case that ought to be in front of the judiciary cmte right now and Mr. Trump Jr. be required to testify"

From @NRO: "The Russian investigation isn’t a witch hunt anymore, if it ever was. It’s a national necessity." It's not an ideological issue. https://t.co/xtbfKux5mR

Congress should ask Manafort, Kushner, Rhona Graff etc. to release their own Russia meeting emails ASAP, like Jr did. Transparency, right?

Esp. after so many lies, in my experience this type of mental-state evidence makes prosecutors think "tip of iceberg," not "nothing-burger." https://t.co/FkAjEFdhhL

The Trump family is like an alternate Godfather universe where Fredo Corleone took over & created a bunch of little Fredos. "We are Smaht!"

Pres' lawyers "pleading with him" not to tweet about Don Jr meeting - distracting him with other topics. For now, he has forgotten.

Donald Trump Jr is like one of those criminals you see on a gas station video screen - "man robs store and leaves photo of himself."

Will "Yes, I stabbed the corpse thinking he was still alive, but he was already dead" be an adequate legal defense to attempted murder?

That is saying they endangered his campaign and gave the Russians blackmail material over is presidency *without telling him*
— Ezra Klein (@ezraklein) July 11, 2017
Think about the excuse that Trump's son, his son-in-law, and his campaign manager took this meeting without his knowledge.

Act 1: No evidence of interference

Act 2: Interference aside, no evidence of collusion
Act 3: Obviously everyone colludes, that's normal
