My god, has it really only been one week? With the nonstop Trump campaign and post election pre-presidency bloviating it feels like his presidency should be at least 1/4 over. Sigh, 207 more weeks to go. ☹

He’s still obsessed about the crowd and the popular vote. What a whiny asshole.

I have mixed feelings. I do like seeing how quickly he has disappointed his voters, but geez, what did they expect?

He needs to be hammered constantly with how he is disliked, and what a loser he is. Finally, he’s going to blow, and order martial law invoked or something else nutty. Then he’ll be ushered out of office.

Trump Acts To Sabotage Obamacare Enrollment, Days Before Deadline. He ordered the government to halt ads and emails, which could mean fewer signups and higher premiums.

Trump wants to publish weekly a list of crimes committed by immigrants.

Sadly, this will presumably not be accompanied with stats on violent crime rates by immigrants and how they compare to the native population.

This. Keep pushing until he blows up. The sooner he blows, the sooner he’s gone.

Can we get a similar list of crimes committed by cops?

This is one of the more worrisome things I’ve seen yet. Based on the order as excerpted in the story, I’m not clear if the “detailed list” is meant to include names and other personally identifiable information on the offenders. If so, what outcome does Trump expect? It sure sounds to me like such a list would encourage vigilantism. Trying to make members of a scapegoat group easily, publicly identifiable is … concerning.

That’s the best strategy. I wish someone would start a crowdfunding initiative to put a billboard with [this](https://twitter.com/KagroX/status/824818880761700354) picture in front of Trump Tower for the duration of his presidency. Mockery and derision will get much further in advancing the anti-Trump cause than rational argument, unfortunately.

Trump claims he predicted Brexit in Scotland the day before the vote:

> [@](#):
>
> “I happened to be in Scotland, at Turnberry, cutting a ribbon when Brexit happened," he said. “And we had a vast amount of press there and I said, Brexit —\*\* this was the day before, you probably remember \*\*— I said Brexit is going to happen, and I was scorned in the press for making that prediction,” he said on Friday.

Small problem - people actually do remember - the truth.

> [@](#):
>
> He landed in the UK after the referendum and praised the outcome during the ribbon-cutting ceremony in Scotland on June 24, 2016 – a day later.

I’m sure Trump is just presenting alternate facts. Or, he is unable to tell dates apart, and his memory is severely faulty.

And, over at 4chan, people have been trying to engineer a group effort to trick undocumented immigrants into outing themselves so they could be identified and deported. Some users tried to get the hashtag #UndocumentedUnafraid to start trending so the 4chan posse could collect information on those who used it. Other users discussed the possibility of creating fake scholarship application sites aimed at undocumented immigrants.

I fear things will soon go downhill fast for anyone who even looks like they might be an undocumented immigrant.

Obama’s black. Of course Trump’s is smaller. Jeez, have you not paid attention to any positive black stereotypes?
