This is the most dishonorable presidency in history, bar none.

From daily lies spouted like flies on a turd to misogynistic hate and racist bile this Oval Office is a pestilenctial swamp. With the possible criminal action of conspiracy to expose classified information to individual(s) who under no circumstances were allowed access to this information.

Mr Porter was denied approval for a security clearance necessary to do the job he was hired for. If the president, as claimed, had no idea Porter failed his background investigation then someone concealed it from the president and that is a crime.

How many more have failed background investigations and are still allowed access to classified material? If there is one, it is likely there is more considering the moral, ethical and legal cesspool in which this White House luxuriates.

repub Christians just want Roe v Wade overturned. That's all they care about. Look at how much they have ignored that goes against Christian beliefs? They were also promised pence if they voted for trump. pence is a radical religious RWNJ repub. We will be in court daily if pence becomes president. He is on the side that wants us to be officially a repub Christian nation. I say repub Christian because even if you are not a Christian, you know they do not follow Christ's teachings. Vote folks. There are more of us. I feel like November is our last chance to stop trump and the repubs from kicking us all to the curb.

president had tried ANY of the vile things tRump and his gang of thugs are getting away with? The gop would have been screaming from the rooftops long ago. The draining of the treasury for his family, vacations etc. is a disgrace. Obviously, the gop has absolutely no respect or regard for INTELLIGENT people. They hounded President Obama daily. I wonder which republican degenerate will be chosen for the "honor" of chief of staff after Kelly? Ivanka or Jarod? Ghoulliani? Crispy Christie? Maybe Newticles Gingrich. All of them are slimy enough to do that job. No matter how many times they are disgraced, exposed as charlatans, the gop members ALWAYS return to government work, as though civilian jobs are beneath them.

And your summary is only the tip of the iceberg. We are in danger every minute that the members of this administration (Trump AND his staff) are in the White House, and as long as there are voters and legislators enabling them and supporting them.

The full list is here: http://projects.thestar.com/donald-trump-fact-check/index.html

With this caveat at the beginning:

If Trump is a serial liar, why call this a list of “false claims,” not lies? The answer is that we can’t be sure that each and every one was intentional. In some cases, he may have been confused or ignorant. What we know, objectively, is that he was not telling the truth.

Accountable. We have have given up given the futility of reason with a serial liar.

And Trump succeeds by making us give and burying us in a mountain of lies.

if this whole sorry episode ends with the American public valuing competence over charisma and the novelty of electing a filthy and crass reality TV star President.
