Overlord L'Orange: Observations of an Average Citizen, Installment #39

Lou Colagiovanni writes for Occupy Democrats: "L'Orange was just asked if he's ever deserved criticism. His answer is stunning." And: "The temperament of President L'Orange is one of the many aspects of his personality his critics have pointed towards as evidence of him being unfit to be the leader of the free world. His recent comments during an interview highlight the problem in a way which a publication never could. Instead, L'Orange was allowed to dig his own hole."

"Not that he’d admit he dug a hole, and would rather claim he did so because it is cooler whilst underground, and then perhaps add that paid protesters had, in fact, dug the hole for him. and he has no idea how he found himself in the hole. The spin never ends."

 "While a guest on 'Fox & Friends', which has not been ceremoniously described as an 'enemy of the people' because all they do is perform softball journalism on L'Orange's behalf. Host Brian Kilmeade asked L'Orange, 'Can you give me an example of a time when someone was critical of you and you thought to yourself, ‘I deserved that hit, I deserved that column?'”

"L'Orange, true to form, showed his unbelievably thin skin working in conjunction with his imperviousness to criticism. L'Orange, being always perfect in his own mind, cheerily replied:

'No, probably I could never do that.'"

Marisa Manfredo writes for Occupy Democrats: "House Republicans just voted to keep you from seeing L'Orange's tax returns." And: "The partisanship and cowardice that led nearly every House Republican to vote against seeing L'Orange's tax returns is disgusting. They suspect, like every mildly informed American, that L'Orange has something to hide and they are unwilling to deal with the fall out because it might reflect poorly on themselves."

"And so they become complicit in L'Orange's deceit of their own constituents, the hardworking Americans that they are supposed to protect. When L'Orange inevitably falls, they all must fall."

Colin Taylor writes for Occupy Democrats: "Washington Post just dropped a new F.B.I.-L'Orange-Russia bombshell." And: "The Washington Post has just announced that the Federal Bureau of Investigation ordered former MI6 agent Christopher Steele to continue his investigation into the notorious 'golden showers' dossier following the confirmation that the Russians had interfered in the United States 2016 election on behalf of Republican Overlord L'Orange."

Overlord L'Orange: Observations of an Average Citizen, Installment #38

From Monday February 27th:

Brett Bose writes for Occupy Democrats: "Twitter explodes after Sean Spicer's hunt for leakers is leaked." And: "White House Press Secretary Sean Spicer is cracking down on his staff for the persistent stream of leaks that have come from his department. Last week Spicer summoned White House press office staff to his office, where he expressed his frustration with them for being behind a number of embarrassing leaks. He is reported to have informed them that using encrypted messaging apps such as Signal and Confide was in violation of the Federal Records Act."

"Spicer then demanded they place their government issued and private mobile phones on his desk so that he could check they had nothing to hide and weren’t using said apps to privately talk with journalists. This was supposedly overseen by White House lawyers, and Spicer followed up on this check with the threat that there would be 'more problems' if anyone leaked this phone check to the media."

"Well, now there are definitely 'more problems' as Spicer’s disgruntled staff leaked this development to the press."

Natalie Dickinson writes for Occupy Democrats: "L'Orange just admitted he is clueless about how to replace Obamacare." And: "Nobody knew that health care could be so complicated. I have to tell you, it’s an unbelievably complex subject."

"L'Orange's words are an unintentional rebuke of the grandstanding fools of the Republican Party, who have had six years to come up with some kind of reasonable replacement that isn’t political seppukku but who have utterly failed to do so and are now making fools of themselves as their backroom squabbles leak out into the public."

Natalie Dickinson writes for Occupy Democrats: "L'Orange just slandered American troops, proved he's unfit to be Commander-in-Chief." And: "Overlord L'Orange, the man who is supposed to be carrying out the duties of Commander-in-chief, took the opportunity today to attack American officers and troops for not 'fighting to win.'”

"Now, L'Orange is arguing that the disastrous wars in the Middle East begun under George W. Bush have been largely unsuccessful because our troops 'don’t fight to win.'”

Oscar Sunday.

Tim Nudd writes for Adweek: "L'Orange lashes out at New York Times ad set to air on the Oscars tonight." And: "The New York Times was hoping to start a dialogue with its new brand campaign from Droga5. But it couldn’t have expected that the president himself would weigh in just three days after the work broke."

"Overlord L'Orange on Sunday morning posted a tweet slamming the Times’ ad campaign—which is focused on the importance of the truth, and independent journalists’ role in finding it—calling a TV spot from the campaign 'bad' and implying it was a waste of resources."

Peter Overby writes for NPR: "Ethics watchdog has big impact on Federal workers, but not on L'Orange." And: "On Monday, the Senate will vote on Wilbur Ross' nomination as the U.S. commerce secretary. As required by the Ethics in Government Act, the billionaire businessman has reached an agreement with the Office of Government Ethics to sell off most of his holdings."

"That divestiture will once again underscore the impact of the tiny agency that actually has no power to enforce federal ethics laws. It simply provides guidance on how to comply with laws, and helps work out solutions, as it has with Ross."

"But while OGE has been shaping the holdings of President L'Orange's appointees, it has so far had no real impact on L'Orange himself."

"L'Orange correctly notes that federal conflict-of-interest laws technically do not apply to the president and vice president, although previous holders of those positions have voluntarily observed the rules."

Grant Stern writes for Occupy Democrats: "L'Orange just announced he's bailing on the White House Correspondents' dinner." And: "Overlord L'Orange is at war with the media, and he just upped the ante again, announcing this afternoon that he plans to skip the White House Correspondents’ dinner. Ironically, the annual event planned for late-April is a chance for the President to roast the media."

"Maybe, L'Orange is skipping out because the White House Correspondents’ Association (WHCA) put out this statement about his regime’s blatant censorship this week when they blacklisted every outlet with meaningful reporting on Russia:

"The WHCA board is protesting strongly against how today’s gaggle is being handled by the White House. We encourage the organizations that were allowed in to share the material with others in the press corps who were not. The board will be discussing this further with White House staff."

Overlord L'Orange: Observations of an Average Citizen, Installment #36

From Saturday, February 25th:

Grant Stern writes for Occupy Democrats: "Every news outlet that L'Orange banned has one thing in common." And: "Overlord L'Orange just censored a wide swath of major mainstream news outlets – and they have one obvious thing in common: they are all investigating or actively reporting on the President and his administration’s ties to Russia."

Dan Arel writes for Occupy Democrats: "The man who helped Nixon cover up Watergate just made a strong accusation against L'Orange." And: "There is no doubt in the mind of John Dean, White House counsel for former President Richard Nixon, that when it comes to the Overlord's Russia scandal, the White House is orchestrating a massive cover-up. He should know – he served eight years in prison for his role in Watergate."

Lou Colagiovanni writes for Occupy Democrats: "Intel officials just revealed L'Orange begged them to bury Russian scandal after F.B.I. denied him." And: "President L'Orange and his lackeys are desperately working overtime to conceal their connections to agents of the Russian Federation. In their clumsy attempts to evade justice, all they have succeeded in doing is shining the spotlight upon themselves even brighter."

"It has been revealed that the latest revelation into the administration’s potentially treasonous activities is they actively lobbied for members of the intelligence community to refute media reports of L'Orange's Russian connections. After the FBI refused to play patsy, the L'Orange camp began begging anyone in the intelligence community who would listen to downplay the validity of the damning leaks and discredit the media reports."

Overlord L'Orange: Observations of an Average Citizen, Installment #35

This sh*t's hard to keep up with!

Natalie Dickinson writes for Occupy Democrats: "L'Orange just got caught lying about the size of his CPAC speech crowd." And: "President L'Orange just gave a speech at the Conservative Political Action Conference, and it was a doozy. As incoherent and vitriolic as all of Trump’s speeches seem to be, he went out of his way to tell some outrageous lies."

"He opened up with his favorite subject – crowd sizes. L'Orange incorrectly claimed that the line to get into CPAC to see his speech stretched around six blocks outside. In reality, CPAC is a closed event which you have to buy tickets for, which means this couldn’t be real in any sense of the word."

Soumya Karlamangla writes for the L.A. Times: "Why therapists are having such a hard time talking about L'Orange." And: "In her 35 years as a therapist, Arlene Drake has never heard so many clients talking about the same issue. Week after week, they complain of panic attacks and insomnia because of Overlord L'Orange. They’re too anxious to concentrate at work. One woman’s fear turned into intense, physical pain."

“It’s just a nightmare,” said Drake, who practices in West L.A.

"Drake was trained not to reveal her personal beliefs, but now will agree with clients if they say they don’t support L'Orange."

“'If this were just another session, if this weren’t such a big thing, if this weren’t so evil, I wouldn’t,' she said. 'But I have to stand for what I stand for and that does cross over into politics.'”

Natalie Dickinson writes for Occupy Democrats: "CPAC attendees just waived Russian 'L'Orange' flags during L'Orange's speech." And: "President L'Orange arrived today to speak at the Conservative Political Action Conference, where he was replacing hate speaker Milo Yiannopolis as keynote speaker."

"But his fans in the crowd had an unpleasant surprise for L'Orange and his team. White-blue-red flags with “L'ORANGE” written on them began fluttering throughout the throng of conservatives – but it quickly became obvious that these weren’t American flags."

Brett Bose writes for Occupy Democrats: "Top law professors just filed a complaint to take down K.A. Conwoman." And: "K.A. Conwoman, President L'Orange's shrill counselor and spokeswoman, is a qualified lawyer, having passed the Washington D.C. Bar in 1995 after studying at George Washington University Law School. Now, 15 legal ethics lawyers have filed a complaint against Conwoman accusing her of misconduct. The professors come from across the country and teach at institutions such as Yale Law School and Duke University."

Brett Bose writes for Occupy Democrats: "L'Orange just attacked the F.B.I. on twitter for doing their job." And: "The White House has allegedly been seeking help from the FBI and other agencies investigating the Russian hacking scandal to back them up in saying the reports are fake. Direct communication between the White House and the FBI is strange as it violates proper procedure, which limits communications with the FBI on the subject of pending investigations. The FBI, by refusing to comment, is following the correct procedure, which apparently isn’t okay in L'Orange's fantasy world."

Dan Arel writes for Occupy Democrats: "CNN just uncovered a massive White House Pay-for-Play corruption scandal." And: "In a brazen display of pay-for-play corruption, the largest and most consistent donations came from people who L'Orange would end up appointing to top cabinet positions (or their families)."

Marisa Manfredo writes for Occupy Democrats: "The F.B.I. just revealed L'Orange is panicking, begging them to hide his Russian scandal." And: "CNN has released a groundbreaking report detailing unprecedented attempts by the L'Orange White House to undermine law and order. CNN reports that they contacted multiple officials briefed on the matter who told them, 'The FBI rejected a recent White House request to publicly knock down media reports about communications between Donald Trump’s associates and Russians known to US intelligence during the 2016 presidential campaign.'”

Grant Stern writes for Occupy Democrats: "The Supreme Court just advanced a lawsuit to nullify the 2016 election." And: "A longshot legal petition to nullify the 2016 federal elections based on the Constitution’s 'Guarantee Clause' just moved forward at the Supreme Court this week, after last week the Trump administration declined to reply. Our Supreme Court set the case for Conference on Friday, March 17th to put the petition in front of all of the Justices."

"According to a career prosecutor interviewed for this story, four of the eight justices must then vote that Blumstein vs. U.S. meets their high standard to go to a full hearing. Additionally, the three Massachusetts women who petitioned the court have asked for the appointment of a Special Master, which is a special officer to weigh the evidence and make findings to the Court. There has never before been a case about the Constitution’s Guarantee Clause (which obliges the federal government to protect states from foreign invaders) like this decided in front of the Supreme Court."

Jamie Green writes for Resistance Report: "Betsy DeVos just accused college professors of 'ominously' indoctrinating students." And: "In her prepared remarks to the Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC) the billionaire heiress to the Amway fortune attacked American college professors for tainting young students with liberal ideology."

“'The fight against the education establishment extends to you too,'” DeVos said, after asking if there were college students in the audience. 'The faculty, from adjunct professors to deans, tell you what to do, what to say, and more ominously, what to think.'”

Natalie Dickinson writes for Occupy Democrats: "L'Orange just banned the New York Times from press briefings." And: "President L'Orange and Press Secretary Sean Spicer just took the unprecedented step of banning major news outlets from a White House press briefing, including CNN, the New York Times, POLITICO, the Los Angeles Times, and Buzzfeed News."

"Instead, they filled the room with conservative propaganda outlets like fascist hate-rag Breitbart, conservative TV channel One America News, and clickbait fake news site GatewayPundit."

"The New York Times has just responded to the L'Orange Administration’s outrageous attack on the freedoms of the press enshrined in the First Amendment of the U.S. Constitution, which L'Orange swore a sacred oath to uphold and defend."

Nathan Wellman writes for U.S. Uncut: "CNN responds to being excluded from press briefing with one powerful message." And: "CNN just responded to their exclusion from Sean Spicer’s private press briefing, calling it 'an unacceptable development' before vowing to continue to 'report facts.'”

Marisa Manfredo writes for Occupy Democrats: "What L'Orange just did at his press conference should terrify every American." And: "Today, the L'Orange Administration is holding an off-camera press gaggle during which Press Secretary Sean Spicer will give a special briefing to reporters. In an unprecedented move, the Administration has excluded reporters from major news outlets that cover the White House every day. This has never happened before. This is not normal."

Marisa Manfredo writes for Occupy Democrats: "L'Orange just said The Washington Post makes up stories." And: "Everything we published regarding Gen. Flynn was true, as confirmed by subsequent events and on-the-record statements from administration officials themselves. The story led directly to the general’s dismissal as national security adviser. Calling press reports fake doesn’t make them so.”

James Devinne writes for Occupy Democrats: "L'Orange's state department just tried to silence dissent and it backfired immediately." And: "The State Department’s legal team prepared a four-page memo for Secretary of State Rex Tillerson, aiming to clamp down on the unauthorized leaks of sensitive information that have plagued the L'Orange administration."

"That memo was, of course, immediately leaked to the Washington Post."

And lastly:

Overlord L'Orange: Observations of an Average Citizen, Installment #34

From Thursday, February 23rd:

Domenico Montanaro writes for NPR: "White Nationalist Richard Spencer kicked out of CPAC." And: "Richard Spencer, a white nationalist, was kicked out of the hotel where the Conservative Political Action Conference is taking place, a CPAC spokesman confirmed to NPR."

"Spencer was spotted in the lobby of the Gaylord National Resort outside Washington, D.C., talking with reporters. That's when CPAC officials were alerted to Spencer's presence."

"'His views are repugnant and have absolutely nothing to do with conservatism or what we do here,'" said CPAC spokesman Ian Walters."

April Lavalle writes for Some News: "Witches worldwide are planning to cast a spell on Overlord L'Orange on February 24th. Here's how to join them." And: "Want to cast a spell on Overlord L'Orange?"

"A document detailing how to cast a spell that would bind L'Orange to all who abet him has been circulating the web in both private and public witchcraft groups, and even those who don't regularly practice the craft are seizing the opportunity to use magic to stop the President. There have been marches, petitions, and demonstrations against the Overlord, but this is definitely the most magical way to resist."

Colin Taylor writes for Occupy Democrats: "Militarized police just evicted the Sioux tribe from Standing Rock at gunpoint." And: "Federal authorities have begun their raid to evict the water protectors from the Oceti Sakowin camp, and the images coming out of the protest site are extremely disturbing."

"History is repeating itself as heavily militarized United States law enforcement storm Native American treaty land to run them off- only this time they’re riding in Humvees and not on horses."

Brett Bose writes for Occupy Democrats: "The Admiral who led the Bin Laden raid just gave L'Orange the perfect label." And: "On Tuesday retired Navy Admiral Will McRaven, now system chancellor at the University of Texas, was speaking at the university’s communications college during the Leadership Speaker Series. He praised the work of the press as important and necessary so that people in powerful positions can be held to account."

"We must challenge this statement and this sentiment that the news media is the enemy of the American people. This sentiment may be the greatest threat to democracy in my lifetime."

Marisa Manfredo writes for Occupy Democrats: "New evidence just implicated L'Orange team in another blackmail scandal." And: "President L'Orange's former campaign manager Paul Manafort has made headlines again after an alleged cyber attack appears to prove that he has been compromised by Ukrainian or Russian blackmail. Newly released text messages sent to Manafort’s daughter indicate that the L'Orange campaign was being blackmailed by multiple sources that all likely are directed from the Kremlin.."

Brett Bose writes for Occupy Democrats: "The NYPD commissioner just revealed L'Orange's huge security bill." And: "Despite L'Orange having moved into the White House, his wife Melania and their son Barron remain in Manhattan and will require close protection until they decide to move to Washington D.C. O’Neill estimates that this will cost between $127,000 and $146,000 a day. This is on top of an additional annual $4.5 million in expenses for New York’s Fire Department in relation to the L'Orange residence. These costs will 'increase significantly' if the president decides to visit his family in New York."

Brett Bose writes for Occupy Democrats: "This U.S. city just voted unanimously to impeach L'Orange." And: "Richmond is officially the first city in the United States to support impeachment hearings for L'Orange. The City Council acknowledged in its minutes how unusual it was for a city to support a president’s impeachment after less than 100 days in office, but despite this, the vote was unanimously in favor of impeachment."

Lou Colagiovanni writes for Occupy Democrats: "L'Orange's deportation force just yanked girl with brain tumor from hospital." And:"After the woman was transported from ICE’s Prairieland Detention Center in Alvarado, Texas to a local hospital to receive treatment, ICE agents just removed the woman from the hospital in chains. L'Orange and his sycophants are undoubtedly rejoicing in the suffering of a dying undocumented immigrant."

Natalie Dickinson writes for Occupy Democrats: "L'Orange's inauguration singer just turned on him with this demand." And: "Evancho’s sister Juliet is transgender, and L'Orange's decision to repeal the guidance has deeply upset the both of them. Evancho took to Twitter tonight to beg the President to give her the honor of meeting with her sister so they might explain just why this is such a hurtful decision."

Gabby Kaufman writes for Yahoo News: "K.A. Conwoman touts 'conservative feminism' at CPAC." And: "She also said she shunned the label of feminist in the 'classic sense,' because of the political ramifications, calling it 'very anti-male and certainly is very pro-abortion.'”

Lou Colagiovanni writes for Occupy Democrats: "Arizona Republicans just voted to make ALL protests illegal." And: "Freedom of speech is going to be a relic of antiquity inside L'Orange's new America as Republican legislators in Arizona have moved to criminalize protest before said protests actually happen. Individuals who plan a protest may be arrested under the proposed legislation and even worse law enforcement will have the ability to seize the property of the accused before the accused are even found guilty. Not that planning a protest is anything with which one should be found guilty in the first place as the First Amendment has codified in law the right for individuals in the United States to assemble to share their grievances."

Natalie Dickinson writes for Occupy Democrats: "L'Orange just said deportations are a military operation. This General's response is perfect." And: "Today, Overlord L'Orange publicly referred to his aggressive deportation program as a 'military operation,' despite the military having nothing to do with immigration policy or enforcement. Humiliatingly for L'Orange, the Homeland Security Secretary felt compelled to publicly call out L'Orange on his latest lie, refusing to let his agency be implicated in L'Orange's idiocy."

"General John Kelly made clear in his remarks in Mexico that the president is wrong. Kelly told his audience, 'There will be no use of military forces in immigration. There will be no – repeat, no – mass deportations.'”

"He continued, 'Everything we do in [Department of Homeland Security] will be done legally and according to human rights and the legal justice system of the United States.'”

Jamie Green writes for Resistance Report: "Steve Bannon just revealed L'Orange's entire agenda at CPAC and everyone missed it." And: "...However, coverage of Bannon’s CPAC speech mainly focused on Bannon characterizing the news media as 'the opposition party' and encouraging everyone listening to distrust anything negative the media reported about L'Orange."

“'If you look at the opposition party and how they portrayed the campaign and how they portrayed the transition and how they portray the administration, it’s always wrong,' Bannon said."

White House Chief of Staff Reince Priebus, who shared the stage with Bannon, condoned Bannon’s comments about the media and gave some of his own, telling CPAC attendees to disavow 'everything that you’re reading' about stories of turmoil inside the White House."

“'Just like they were dead wrong on the chaos of the campaign and just like they were dead wrong on the chaos of the transition, they are absolutely dead wrong on what they’re reporting today,' Bannon added."

Overlord L'Orange: Observations of an Average Citizen, Installment #32

News of the day:

Robert Reich writes for Occupy Democrats (via Natalie Dickinson): "Robert Reich just asked all of us to share this message with every L'Orange voter." And: "The former Labor Secretary just shared some hard truths that every L'Orange fan needs to face."
"1. He called Hillary Clinton a crook.
You bought it.
Then he paid $25 million to settle a fraud lawsuit.
2. He said he’d release his tax returns, eventually.
You bought it.
He hasn’t, and says he never will.
3. He said he’d divest himself from his financial empire, to avoid any conflicts of interest.
You bought it.
He is still heavily involved in his businesses, manipulates the stock market on a daily basis, and has more conflicts of interest than can even be counted.
4. He said Clinton was in the pockets of Goldman Sachs, and would do whatever they said.
You bought it.
He then proceeded to put half a dozen Goldman Sachs executives in positions of power in his administration.
5. He said he’d surround himself with all the best and smartest people.
You bought it.
He nominated theocratic loon Mike Pence for Vice President. A white supremacist named Steve Bannon is his most trusted confidant. Dr. Ben Carson, the world’s greatest idiot savant brain surgeon, is in charge of HUD. Russian quisling Rex Tillerson is Secretary of State.
6. He said he’d be his own man, beholden to no one.
You bought it.
He then appointed Betsy DeVos as Secretary of Education, whose only “qualifications” were the massive amounts of cash she donated to his campaign.
7. He said he would “drain the swamp” of Washington insiders.
You bought it.
He then admitted that was just a corny slogan he said to fire up the rubes during the rallies, and that he didn’t mean it.
8. He said he knew more about strategy and terrorism than the Generals did.
You bought it.
He promptly gave the green light to a disastrous raid in Yemen- even though all his Generals said it would be a terrible idea. This raid resulted in the deaths of a Navy SEAL, an 8-year old American girl, and numerous civilians. The actual target of the raid escaped, and no useful intel was gained.
9. He said Hillary Clinton couldn’t be counted on in times of crisis.
You bought it.
He didn’t even bother overseeing that raid in Yemen; and instead spent the time hate-tweeting the New York Times, and sleeping.
10. He called CNN, the Washington Post and the New York Times 'fake news' and said they were his enemy.
You bought it.
He now gets all his information from Breitbart, Gateway Pundit, and InfoWars.
11. He called Barack Obama 'the vacationer-in-Chief' and accused him of playing more rounds of golf than Tiger Woods. He promised to never be the kind of president who took cushy vacations on the taxpayer’s dime, not when there was so much important work to be done.
You bought it.
He took his first vacation after 11 days in office.
On the taxpayer’s dime.
And went golfing.

And that's just the first month."

Natasha Bertrand writes for Business Insider: "L'Orange's lawyer hand delivered Michael Flynn a secret plan to lift sanctions on Russia." And: "President L'Orange's personal counsel, Michael Cohen, hand-delivered a 'peace' plan for Russia and Ukraine to former national security adviser Michael Flynn before Flynn was asked to resign, the New York Times reported on Sunday."

"The plan involved lifting sanctions on Russia in return for Moscow withdrawing its support for pro-Russia separatists in eastern Ukraine. It would also allow Russia to maintain control over Crimea, which it annexed in 2014."

Lori Fryd writes for The Huffington Post: "The emperor has no vocabulary." And: "I’m not alone in my observation that this is something we’ve never seen before in a world leader. To be seduced by great and powerful oratory is one thing. To be rendered dumbstruck by incoherent inanity is quite another."

"I don’t know what it will take for the sycophantic fools and followers of this stammering Stalin to finally cry uncle. Apparently, a flagrant display of nonsense, asininity, and stunning ignorance does not suffice."

Frank Langfitt writes for NPR: "At U.K. Parliament, zingers fly in debate over L'Orange state visit." And: "As thousands protested outside the U.K. Parliament on Monday, members inside debated whether President L'Orange should receive the honor of meeting the queen on a state visit later this year. State visits by U.S. presidents are rare in Britain; Labour Party lawmaker Paul Flynn noted that only two — Barack Obama and George W. Bush — have made them."

"The parliamentary debate was triggered by a petition opposing the state visit, signed by more than 1.8 million people. Another petition supporting a state visit garnered just over 300,000 signatures."

Lou Colagiovanni writes for Occupy Democrats: "L'Orange is set to sign executive orders that will destroy the environment." And: "Since he has taken power, President L'Orange has been performing his best impression of a comic book supervillain, and his next move will be of terrible consequence to the environment. L'Orange is seeking to rollback policies put in place by former President Barack Obama to protect the climate and the water which we drink."

"L'Orange intends to implement his destructive agenda via executive order, the use of which Republicans were vehemently against a few months ago during Obama’s presidency. Now the entire Republican establishment has suddenly fallen silent as L'Orange rules by diktat."

"The first executive order will force the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) to begin the process of rewriting a regulation which was put in place in 2015 that limits greenhouse-gas emissions from electric utilities, removing those limits. Furthermore, L'Orange will remove a ban on the federal government leasing land for coal mining."

Lou Colagiovanni writes for Occupy Democrats: "A CIA agent just resigned over L'Orange, and penned this scathing open letter." And: "The intelligence community in the United States has been at odds with President L'Orange and his administration despite serving at L'Orange's pleasure. A fine line is being walked by intelligence officials who answer to the president, while they are simultaneously investigating his conduct and discovering there is much more than meets the eye. One former Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) analyst found himself in a moral dilemma serving L'Orange while knowing he is dangerous and complicit in criminal conduct, and the only course he saw was to leave the agency."

"Edward Price, who worked with the CIA for almost 11 years until abruptly resigning last month, wrote a scathing editorial in the Washington Post where he detailed how he could not 'in good faith serve this administration as an intelligence professional.' Price worked in the White House for the last three years as a liaison for the CIA."

Dan Arel writes for Occupy Democrats: "L'Orange's Michael Flynn just got busted receiving $40,000 from Russian government." And: "According to a new profile in The New Yorker, former National Security Adviser Michael Flynn was paid a sum of $40,000 for his appearance at a 2015 party for the Russia’s state-funded media outlet, RT."

"Flynn had not previously disclosed that he was paid for his visit, and the FBI says it has no record of authorizing him to accept money for the visit."

"At the dinner, Flynn was seated with Russian President Vladimir Putin, an arrangement that later raised eyebrows when it was discovered Flynn had been in contact with Russian officials before and after the election of President L'Orange — allegedly making promises to lift Obama-era sanctions against Russia for its involvement in the 2016 election hacking."

So-called President's Day.

There was a "Not My President" protest in Washington D.C.

I randomly tuned in to NPR and they were discussing the so-called President's sanity. Having a very serious discussion on whether the President is sane or not. Literally.

Gala Darling (Author and Witch) performed a public online ritual to 'Bind L'Orange'. 

Grant Stern writes for Occupy Democrats: "Milo just lost his book deal over pedophile remarks." And: "Misogynist and white supremacist darling Milo Yiannopolous was announced as a keynote speaker at conservative gathering CPAC just three days ago. Since that announcement, the British provocateur Yiannopolous appeared on HBO’s Real Time with Bill Maher – where he admitted to possibly having a disordered personality in a web segment, then yesterday conservative news outlet The Blaze released a Joe Rogan interview where Milo was openly advocating for pedophile rights."

"Less than 72 hours later, Republican conservatives decided that advocating for pedophilia was a line that even the 'political correctness' right-wing wouldn’t cross. A Fox News contributor reported the news that Milo Yiannopolous has been disinvited from CPAC."

Grant Stern writes for Occupy Democrats: "A criminal defense attorney just revealed the twelve signs that L'Orange is guilty as sin." And: "Overlord L'Orange's crooked Administration is less than a month old, and already it’s facing an existential crisis as multiple criminal investigations move forward, all capped off by the FBI meeting secretly with Congress last week to fashion a process to retain 100% of the White House’s electronic records."

"One criminal defense lawyer realized after L'Orange's crazy press conference that America’s President is talking like some of the common crooks which he has represented. Not just like any suspect, but like those who have ultimately pled guilty to a crime."

Jennifer Calfas writes for The Hill: "L'Orange clarifies remarks on non-existent Sweden incident: I saw it on Fox News." And: "President L'Orange sought to explain his reference to a nonexistent terrorism incident in Sweden at a rally Saturday night, pointing to a story from Fox News."

“"My statement as to what’s happening in Sweden was in reference to a story that was broadcast on @FoxNews concerning immigrants & Sweden,' L'Orange tweeted Sunday."

"Former Swedish Prime Minister Carl Bildt also questioned L'Orange's claims.

'Sweden? Terror attack? What has he been smoking? Questions abound,' he tweeted."

Marisa Manfredo writes for Occupy Democrats: "New York Times just dropped a bombshell that should lead directly to L'Orange's impeachment." And: "Phone records and intercepted calls show that members of Overlord L'Orange's 2016 presidential campaign and other L'Orange associates had repeated contacts with senior Russian intelligence officials in the year before the election, according to four current and former American officials.”

"If there was ever a doubt about whether L'Orange is a Kremlin puppet, the information just obtained by the Times obliterates it. L'Orange is surrounded by people with sketchy links to Russia that American intelligence services are wary of. Whether he realizes it or not, L'Orange is not working for America anymore – he works for Russia. That a foreign power aided a candidate in winning the presidency represents an unprecedented attack on American democracy. Let the impeachment hearings begin."

Colin Taylor writes for Occupy Democrats: "A Republican just tried to tell CNN's Cuomo to 'Move On' from Flynn." And: "The efforts of the greater Republican Party to excuse, look the other way or otherwise sweep under the rug the rapidly expanding L'Orange-Russia-Flynn scandal are utterly reprehensible, if not surprising."

"Congressional Republicans have proved long before that they are morally vacant ideological frauds for whom the most heinous of hypocrisies come as easily as breathing, but the abandonment of three decades of table-pounding hyperpatriotic obsession with national security at the drop of a hat is low, even for them."

"That much was made clear today when Rep. Chris Collins (R-NY) spoke to Chris Cuomo on CNN’s New Day program. 'Gen. Flynn did what he thought was in the best interest of the country. I certainly respect that and I think it’s just time to move on' said Collins."

David Edwards writes for Raw Story: "'He will die in jail': intelligence community ready to 'go nuclear' on L'Orange, senior source says." And: "U.S. national security officials are reportedly ready to 'go nuclear' after President L'Orange's latest attack on the intelligence community."

"In a series of tweets on Tuesday and Wednesday, L'Orange insisted that the 'real scandal' was not that former National Security Adviser Michael Flynn lied about his contact with Russia. Instead, the president blasted what he said were 'un-American' leaks that led to Flynn’s ousting."

Occupy Democrats shared a video: "CNN schools L'Orange: we report facts on your many scandals. You're Fake News."

Leonard Pitts Jr. writes for Miami Herald: "Mr. President: just who the Hell do you think you are?" And: "You see, you’re no longer an emperor, Mr. So-Called President. You’re now what is called a 'public servant' — in effect, an employee with 324 million bosses. And let me tell you something about those bosses. They’re unruly and loud, long accustomed to speaking their minds without fear or fetter. And they believe power must always answer to the people. That’s at the core of their identity."

"Yet you and your coterie of cartoon autocrats think you’re going to cow them into silence and compliance by ordering them to shut up and obey? Well, as a freeborn American, I can answer that in two syllables flat."

"Hell no."

Happy Valentine's Day!

Grant Stern writes for Occupy Democrats: "Republicans just gave the worst excuse for not investigating L'Orange and Flynn." And: "...But Republican House Intelligence Committee Chair David Nunes said Tuesday that his committee won’t look into conversations between L'Orange and Flynn, according to CNN’s Manu Raju. Nunes cited executive privilege — a privilege typically claimed by the president for withholding information in the public interest. [Emphasis ours]"

Zach Cartwright writes for U.S. Uncut: "Putin just trolled the Hell out of L'Orange in the scariest way possible." And: "President L'Orange is in a very awkward position, as Vladimir Putin just violated a 30-year-old treaty aimed at easing tension with the United States."

"The New York Times reported on Tuesday that the Russian Federation deployed a new cruise missile in secret, which flies in the face of the 1987 Intermediate Range Nuclear Forces Treaty, signed at the end of the Cold War by both Russia and the U.S. The treaty bans either country from testing land-based, intermediate-ranged missiles. The illegal missile, dubbed as the SSC-8 (dubbed 9M728 by Russia), was first tested in 2014, prompting former President Barack Obama to call out Russian president Vladimir Putin for violating the treaty. Russia now has two battalions of the deadly missile."

Colin Taylor writes for Occupy Democrats: "L'Orange just gave a terrifying response to Flynn's resignation (TWEET)."

Brett Bose writes for Occupy Democrats: "K.A. Conwoman just humiliated herself and the L'Orange team live on The Today Show." And: "Lauer made the point that yesterday afternoon Conwoman was telling the media that Flynn had L'Orange's full support, which he clearly didn’t considering he resigned shortly thereafter. Lauer then asked: 'So had he not resigned the president would have continued with him as National Security Advisor even though he misled the Vice President and the administration about the contents of that call?'"

"Conwoman replied that 'that fact is what became unsustainable…I think misleading the Vice President really was the key here.' This is when Lauer pounced, telling Conwoman bluntly:

'So wait a minute – you’re saying that was the straw that broke the camel’s back but the White House knew about that last month when the Justice Department warned the White House that Mr. Flynn…had not been completely honest in characterizing that conversation with the Russian Ambassador. They even went further to say as a result of that dishonesty, he was at risk of blackmailing by the Russians.'"

"Conwoman responded weakly, saying 'that’s one characterization but the fact is that General Flynn continued in that position and was in the presidential daily briefings, was part of the leader calls, as recently as yesterday.' Conwoman was incredulous in her answers, not fully grasping that Flynn’s very presence in the White House is what was causing so much controversy. That’s when Lauer dropped the bombshell: 'Kellyanne, that makes no sense!'"

Brett Bose writes for Occupy Democrats: "Flynn's resignation letter just implied L'Orange was aware of his treason." And: "If L'Orange never asked Flynn about these conversations then there is only one real conclusion that can be drawn: L'Orange already knew, because he has been ordering Flynn to make the calls. Flynn’s resignation letter is a tacit admission that the President of the United States has an inappropriate relationship with the Russian government."

"The implications of this are enormous. This is possibly the largest tremor so far in an already crumbling administration. If it can be proven, without a shadow of a doubt, that L'Orange ordered these calls to be made then the case for impeachment will grow even stronger. This could turn out to be the shortest presidency in American history!"

Natalie Dickinson writes for Occupy Democrats: "In viral post, Dan Rather says L'Orange-Flynn scandal could be 'Larger than Watergate.'" And: "Watergate is the biggest political scandal of my lifetime, until maybe now. It was the closest we came to a debilitating Constitutional crisis, until maybe now. On a 10 scale of armageddon for our form of government, I would put Watergate at a 9. This Russia scandal is currently somewhere around a 5 or 6, in my opinion, but it is cascading in intensity seemingly by the hour. And we may look back and see, in the end, that it is at least as big as Watergate. It may become the measure by which all future scandals are judged. It has all the necessary ingredients, and that is chilling."

James Devinne writes for Occupy Democrats: "In viral tweet, Michael Moore just called for L'Orange's arrest over treason with Putin." And: "After last night’s surprise resignation by National Security Advisor Mike Flynn, Democrats are demanding a full-scale investigation to determine just how deep the collusion between L'Orange and the Kremlin. Now, award-winning filmmaker and liberal icon Michael Moore is calling for L'Orange to be arrested. 'Flynn DID NOT make that Russian call on his own,' he tweeted last night. 'He was INSTRUCTED to do so. He was TOLD to reassure them. Arrest L'Orange.'”

James Devinne writes for Occupy Democrats: "The Office of Government Ethics just ruined K.A. Conwoman's week." And: "L'Orange's top counsel K.A. Conwoman, the infamous preacher of alternative facts, has run up against a quite damning actual fact: she violated the government’s standards of conduct in using a White House press conference to promote L'Orange's daughter Iwanta's fashion line. And now Walter Schaub, the director of the Office of Government Ethics (OGE), has penned a letter calling for a White House investigation into her unethical behavior and for serious disciplinary action to be taken."

Dan Arel writes for Occupy Democrats: "Lindsey Graham just said what we are all thinking about L'Orange and Flynn." And: "Senator Lindsay Graham, along with the majority of the American people, wants to know if anyone on Overlord L'Orange's transition team 'directed' former national security adviser Michael Flynn to discuss sanctions against Russia. Flynn illegally spoke with a top Russian diplomat during the L'Orange transition, and this could be a sign of a far reaching problem in the L'Orange White House."

“'I want to know, did General Flynn do this by himself or was he directed by somebody to do it?'” Graham said in an interview with CNN’s Kate Bolduan."

Colin Taylor writes for Occupy Democrats: "L'Orange's press secretary just admitted L'Orange lied to the public about Flynn and Russia." And: "During the daily press briefing today, Press Secretary Sean Spicer admitted that the L'Orange White House was aware that National Security Adviser Gen. Michael Flynn had lied to the Vice President about the subject of his calls with the Russian Ambassador for 'weeks' – which means that Trump himself had also openly lied to the American people."

Christine Branch writes for Occupy Democrats: "These four top Senate Republicans just turned on L'Orange, demand investigation into L'Orange-Putin links." And: "The Senate Intelligence Committee is finally acknowledging that the shady connections between L'Orange and Russia must be investigated further, especially as L'Orange's national security advisor, Michael Flynn resigns in disgrace."

"The charge is being led by Sen. Roy Blunt (R-MO) who told KRTS Radio that, “I think everybody needs that investigation to happen.” Blunt’s call for a full investigation and for Flynn to testify before Congress is being supported by Sen. John Cornyn (R-TX), Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC) and Sen. Richard Burr (R-NC).

Overlord L'Orange: Observations of an Average Citizen, Installment #24

I was at school tonight from 7:00 to 10:00 PM, and sh*t went down!

A lot of crazy L'Orange stuff happened today, per usual, but also, this happened, 'trumping' all other news of the day:

Grant Stern writes for Occupy Democrats: "L'Orange's Michael Flynn just resigned after being caught colluding with Russia." And: "It’s only been 24 days since the inauguration of Overlord L'Orange as President, and already his first high-level staffer has resigned in disgrace. CNN reports that two senior officials indicate National Security Advisor General Michael Flynn has resigned from the L'Orange administration just days after news reports revealed that he contacted the Russian Ambassador to discuss President Obama’s sanctions."

Grant Stern writes for Occupy Democrats: "Top lawmakers just DEMANDED a full investigation into Flynn and L'Orange team." And: "Every House Democrat that is a member of the Committee for Oversight of Government Affairs just signed a letter addressed to Republican Chair Rep. Jason Chaffetz with a simple message: Lead an investigation of disgraced former Gen. Michael Flynn or get out of the way."

I have a sick, queasy feeling in my stomach. And I don't think I am the only one.
