So, what do we have?
- Trump Dumps on our Nato allies...
- Then he pisses all over the emoluments clause by staying at his Scottish money laundering operation...
- Then literally gets a room with Putin to hash out all that sexual tension between the two of them...
- He gives a demonstration of his treasonous behavior behind a podium, in front of cameras and with professional witnesses onlooking, with his Russian master admitting that he wanted Trump to win and worked toward getting that to happen...
- Then he lies about it all the next day...
- Then there's those three members of his National Security team who bailed on him...
- Fox News has a sad...
- Then we find out that he was informed by the Intel guys that they have proof that Russia had attacked our democratic process, two weeks prior to getting sworn in. And he's been lying about knowing what he knows ever since...
- Then the story explodes of how a Russian operative fucked her way through the American right wing...
- Then word gets out that Trump entertained the thought of handing over loyal and patriotic American diplomats to Putin's torture machine...
- The Senate didn't like that at all and voted on a measure by 98-zippy-dee-doo-dah to point it out to him...
- Then we find out that Trump wants to stab tiny Montenegro in the back, one of our NATO allies...
- Let's not forget the ongoing protest in Lafayette Park, across from the White House, replete with Mariachi bands and opera singers...
- A whole bunch of the cult has pretty much defected...
- Then the story came out of how Trump, in the pettiest way possible, undermined President Obama's visit to South Africa...
- Speaking of petty, Trump's pissed at Dan Coats, reportedly because he laughed at him. If he lasts the month, he'll be lucky...
- And we hear that Cohen taped his deal to payoff a Trump mistress Playboy model, because he was probably planning on blackmailing Trump to reimburse his payments to her or some such thing...
- And the week isn't even over yet.
Did I miss anything? I'm sure that I missed something, because I was only working from the top of my own head.
Precedence has taught me that there is no "bottom" with Trump. He makes the Marianas Trench look like a dimple. Because I pretty much expect Trump to glance over this thoroughly shitty week and say, "Hold my vanilla shake."
And the GOPr cultists will still ask for more.

(58,785 posts)hit the news, imo, THAT was a week of all weeks. But agree this is another of similar stature.
Let's hope the first turns out to have been that pivot point it really should have and, if not, that both together are causing rejections of the Republican Party to grow from a slow trickle to a stream.
