Overlord L'Orange: Observations of an Average Citizen, Installment #21

  

Still trying to catch my breath. No rest for the wicked.

Colin Taylor writes for Occupy Democrats: "It begins: L'Orange's deportation squads just arrested hundreds in six states." And: "The worst fears of many living in the United States has now become a reality. Acting on orders from the White House, deportation squads in six states arrested hundreds of undocumented immigrants."

"While they were ostensibly only targeting those with 'criminal records,' many innocent and hard-working people were swept up in the first wave of large-scale raids in Atlanta, Chicago, New York, the Los Angeles area, North Carolina and South Carolina. Smaller raids took place in Florida, Kansas, Texas and Northern Virginia."

Marisa Manfredo writes for Occupy Democrats: "Concerned children just filed a landmark lawsuit against L'Orange." And: "In the first eleven days of his presidency, Overlord L'Orange was named in an astounding forty-two federal lawsuits. Now he has yet another suit to add to the pile: a group of children and young adults, along with renowned climate scientist Dr. James E. Hansen, are suing him over the devastating effects that climate change will have on their futures."

Marisa Manfredo writes for Occupy Democrats: "Betsy DeVacant just tried to visit a public school, and it blew up in her face." And: "This morning, new Education Secretary Betsy DeVacant attempted to visit Jefferson Middle School in Washington D.C. in what might have been one of her first interactions with a public school. However, as she approached the door DeVacant found herself physically blocked by protesters, many of them parents who are appalled by her proposed policies that look poised to destroy public school education."

Dan Arel writes for Occupy Democrats: "L'Orange's National Security Advisor was just busted lying about secret Russia calls." And: "National Security Adviser Michael Flynn, insists that when he met with Russia’s Ambassador to the United States, Sergey Kislyak, one month before the election, they did not talk about the current sanctions imposed against Russia."

"Flynn’s insistence that the sanctions were not discussed was also corroborated by M.P. and other officials inside the L'Orange administration. However, according to The Washington Post, these claims are untrue."

Colin Taylor writes for Occupy Democrats: "L'Orange aides: L'Orange is miserable, frustrated and ignorant of basic policy matters." And: "President L'Orange's first few weeks in office can only be characterized as tumultuous at best; the words 'dumpster fire' and 'train wreck' immediately spring to mind."

"A torrent of leaks from White House staffers paint a picture of chaos and instability in the Oval Office as an increasingly unhinged President L'Orange, finally facing adversity for the first time in his life, is incapable of understanding why everything isn’t falling into place at his very whim and rides 'a rollercoaster between anger and frustration.'”

Colin Taylor writes for Occupy Democrats: "L'Orange just embarrassed himself and our nation in first press conference with foreign leader." And: "After an excruciatingly awkward 20-second handshake, punctuated by L'Orange announcing that Abe had 'strong hands,' the two took to podiums to hold a press conference. where L'Orange forgot to put his translating earpiece in and therefore had absolutely no idea what his counterpart was saying."

"It should also be noted that L'Orange only accepted questions from reporters working for outlets owned by conservative oligarch Rupert Murdoch."

"After the conference, L'Orange and Abe are jetting off to L'Orange's Florida mansion, Mar-a-Lago, for a weekend of golf and relaxation on the taxpayer dime. It will be the second weekend in a row he will be going on vacation."

John Harper writes for Occupy Democrats: "House Republicans just filed a bill to kill the EPA, repeal clean air rules." And: "Say goodbye to clean rivers, accessible wilderness, birds and bees. Republicans in Congress are now prepared to return the United States to the 1960s heyday of environmental pollution, before the Cuyahoga River caught on fire and the Environmental Protection Agency was formed."

"Thank Rep. Sam Johnson (R-TX) for the favor. Mr. Johnson’s legislation would shutter every single regional E.P.A. office and cut the agency’s funding by $7.5 billion, The Hill reports. While the law stops short of actually eliminating the E.P.A., as some Republicans have proposed, it essentially renders the agency a hollow shell. Without regional offices, the agency would struggle to carry out any enforcement action. With remaining budget being just around a billion dollars, the vast majority of their climate change programs would be forced to close."

Colin Taylor writes for Occupy Democrats: "CNN just dropped another HUGE L'Orange-Russia blackmail bombshell." And: "CNN has just announced that intelligence officials have confirmed some of the details contained in the now-infamous 'Pissgate' dossier which indicates that the Russian government has kompromat – compromising information – with which they are blackmailing President L'Orange."

"If the dossier turns out to be true, the existence of the video and audio tapes would go a long way towards explaining why President L'Orange has been so friendly to the Kremlin and why the Kremlin went to such lengths to get him elected, including hacking the emails of Democratic Party officials and waging an online disinformation campaign."

Overlord L'Orange: Observations of an Average Citizen, Installment #20

Trying to keep up with all this news is like being in a batting cage with the baseballs coming at you at top speed. Turned up to eleven.

Laurel Raymond writes for Think Progress: "K.A. Conwoman tells America to 'buy Iwanta's stuff,' may have violated Federal law." And: "K.A. Conwoman, who is a counselor to President L'Orange, gave a 'free commercial' for Iwanta L'Orange's business this morning, speaking to Fox & Friends from the White House Briefing Room."

“'Go buy Iwanta's stuff, is what I would tell you. I hate shopping, but I am going to go get some myself today,' said Conwoman. 'This is just — it’s a wonderful line, I own some of it, I’m just gonna give a free commercial here, go buy it today, you can buy it online.'”

  "Conwoman's comments are a particularly egregious example of how the L'Orange businesses are cashing in on the L'Orange presidency. They also appear to violate federal ethics law, which prohibits the endorsement of products by federal officials."

Brett Bose writes for Occupy Democrats: "A Democratic lawmaker just filed a bill requiring a psychiatrist for L'Orange's mental health." And: "In a stunning turn of events, President L'Orange's first month of presidential tenure has already got democrats convinced he’s mentally unfit to be president. Now a bill has been filed that requires the White House have a psychiatrist on site just in case L'Orange has a mental breakdown."

Representative Ted Lieu (D-California) has decided that L'Orange's dangerous rhetoric and erratic behavior, including some very questionable phone calls with foreign leaders and weird press conferences, is reason enough to have a psychiatrist on stand-by."

Marisa Manfredo writes for Occupy Democrats: "L'Orange Tweets IN ALL CAPS after Federal court rules his Muslim ban unconstitutional." And: "A federal court has just issued a decision to uphold the suspension of President L'Orange's ‘Muslim ban’ – a travel ban affecting citizens of seven majority-Muslim countries. L'Orange is outraged by the ruling and took to Twitter announcing that he will pursue the decision in court and blaming the justices for threatening national security. And, of course, he expressed his fury by holding down the caps-lock key with his tiny finger."

Christine Branch writes for Occupy Democrats: "A Federal judge just called L'Orange's legitimacy into question." And: "'This is serious business, because you start calling into question the legitimacy of someone, that undermines the whole system, all right?' asked Polster."

"Polster told the crowd, 'I think to say it publicly, that’s his right. But it calls into question, and some might even say forfeits, his or her own legitimacy. So I’ll leave it at that. It’s an important question, but that’s how I feel…I don’t believe there’s a single federal judge who would be intimidated by anybody. We took an oath to support and defend the Constitution and it means a lot. And I think that oath means, even more, today.'”

Colin Taylor writes for Occupy Democrats: "L'Orange just put Putin on hold to ask the dumbest question ever." And: "On a phone call with his role model and possible puppet master Vladimir Putin, dictator of the Russian Federation, Putin reportedly asked whether L'Orange would be interested in extending the 2010 New START Treaty, which sets limits for the size of standing strategic nuclear weapons forces."

"L'Orange then paused the call to ask his aides what START was, according to Reuters."

Zach Cartwright writes for U.S. Uncut: "The government Ethics web site just crashed from people complaining about K.A. Conwoman." And: "Overlord L'Orange's presidency is so unethical, Americans have crashed the website and shut down the phone lines of the Office of Government Ethics."

And lastly:

Overlord L'Orange: Observations of an Average Citizen, Installment #19

I've thought to myself, "Self, do you think it will be difficult to come up with something to post about politically every day?"

The answer so far, is: "No. It will be extremely easy. The material literally writes itself."

The last twenty-four hours: Joel Rose, Hansi Lo Wang and Camila Somonoske write for NPR: "5 questions after hearing the oral arguments over L'Orange's travel ban." And: "How many Muslims would be affected by the travel ban? (And does it matter?)" "What rights do noncitizens have under the U.S. Constitution?" "What are the limits of presidential power?" "What proof is there that L'Orange's travel ban is motivated by concerns over terrorism — and what evidence that it's meant to block Muslims?" " What might happen next?"

A video was posted on YouTube of a cat who is shown pictures on a Smart Phone of Hilary Clinton with no reaction. Bernie Sanders: no reaction. Overlord L'Orange: the cat starts hissing at him, and strikes the screen with her paw, before scampering away from his evil face. The word on the street is that animals can sense 'energies' much more easily than people can.

Impeach Overlord L'Orange Now shared a video: "BREAKING NEWS: Congressman Mark Pocan of Wisconsin becomes the first Member of Congress to speak on the floor of the US House of Representatives about the potential for impeaching L'Orange. Join us at www.impeachdonaldtrumpnow.org and help us continue to build this campaign!"

Elyse Wanshel writes for Huffington Post: "Coretta Scott King's letter to be blasted into McConnell's home with bullhorn." And: "The impromptu protest comes as a response to McConnell invoking a rarely used rule to silence Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.) as she read King’s letter on the Senate floor Tuesday night. King, the widow of Martin Luther King Jr. and a civil rights activist, wrote the letter in 1986 to voice her concerns about why Sessions’ record on voting rights and other issues made him unfit to be a judge."

Jonathan O'Connell writes for The Washington Post: "Third lien on L'Orange hotel brings alleged unpaid bills to over five million dollars." And: "The AES filing brings the total of allegedly unpaid bills on the hotel to more than $5 million. Washington-area plumbing firm Joseph J. Magnolia Inc. and Northern Virginia construction company, A&D Construction, are seeking $2.98 million and $79,700 respectively."

"We’re not in this for any sort of political reasons,” Miller said. “We have no ax to grind, political or otherwise. We’re a business. We have 700 employees that we pay every week. We have bills. We are effectively financing this work, and we don’t think it’s right. That’s really it.”

John Harper writes for Occupy Democrats: "A Bipartisan group just moved to block L'Orange from repealing Russian Sanctions" And: "Some Republicans and Democrats agree that President L'Orange cannot be trusted when it comes to relations with the Russian Federation. Given the president’s suspicious relationship with Russian dictator Vladimir Putin’s government, a bipartisan group in Congress is proposing legislation that would take away Mr. L'Orange's ability to unilaterally alter sanctions."

"Republican Senators John McCain (R-AZ), Lindsey Graham (R-SC) and Marco Rubio (R-FL) joined Democrats Ben Cardin, Claire McCaskill and Sherrod Brown in proposing the Russian Sanctions Review Act, The Hill reported Wednesday. The new law, if passed, would require President L'Orange to consult Congress before changing outstanding sanctions on Russia."

Colin Taylor writes for Occupy Democrats: "Spice-her blasted McCain for criticizing L'Orange's SEAL raid. McCain's response is perfect." And: "Overlord L'Orange's use of our veterans and their sacrifices as political shields while disrespecting and demeaning the risks they take by not even bothering to be in the Situation Room as they were engaged in a ferocious hour-long firefight with terrorists is a truly repulsive hypocrisy and is just more evidence that he is a disgrace to our flag and to the office he supposedly holds."

Zach Cartwright writes for U.S. Uncut: "L'Orange's own Supreme Court pick just publicly admonished him." And: "Even Neal Gorsuch, whom L'Orange appointed to fill the vacancy on the Supreme Court, thinks Trump’s attacks on the judicial branch go too far."

"Senator Richard Blumenthal (D-Connecticut), who met with Gorsuch’s spokesman on Wednesday afternoon, told reporters after the meeting that, when asked about President L'Orange's repeated attacks against the federal judge who overturned his immigration order, Gorsuch said the attacks were “disheartening” and “demoralizing.” CNN reporters Ashley Killough and Jeremy Diamond both relayed Sen. Blumenthal’s words on Twitter."

Colin Taylor writes for Occupy Democrats: "L'Orange attacked Nordstrom for cutting Iwanta's line, so Nordstrom just shut him up." And: "This morning, our so-called President grew bored during his intelligence briefings and decided to use his official government Twitter account to chastise the luxury department store for dropping his daughter’s fashion brand, which was already under fire for plagiarizing designs from real artists."

Dan Arel writes for Occupy Democrats: "Sssss Spice-her just invented another fake terrorist attack to justify L'Orange's Muslim ban." And: "Press Secretary Sssss Spice-her is jumping on the K.A. Conwoman bandwagon of inventing terrorist attacks to defend president L'Orange's Muslim ban and foster the atmosphere of Islamophobia needed to whittle away our civil liberties."

"Following Conway’s remarks about the nonexistent 'Bowling Green Massacre', Spice-her is continuing to reference Atlanta, along with San Bernardino and Boston, as one of three U.S. cities involved in terrorist attacks carried about by Islamic extremists."

"Boston and San Bernardino alone don’t do anything to help Spice-her's argument as while both were inspired by Islamic extremists, none of those involved are foreign nationals from the seven countries in Trump’s executive order. They were all naturalized or second generation, American citizens."

Colin Taylor writes for Occupy Democrats: "Guess what L'Orange was supposed to be doing when he was Tweeting about Iwanta and Nordstrom?" And: "While Overlord L'Orange was supposed to be receiving his daily intelligence briefing and discussing, say, the fact that the country of Yemen has now banned the United States from counterterrorism operations in their country because L'Orange's first raid killed thirty innocent people, including ten children, L'Orange was busy attacking a company for dropping his daughter’s products."

Marisa Manfredo writes for Occupy Democrats: "McConnell mansplained why he silenced Warren. Women on Twitter responded perfectly." And: "Harvard professor turned Senator (D-Mass.), Elizabeth Warren is a well-established progressive icon. She has spent her career as a politician fighting for economic justice, civil rights for women and minorities, and environmentalism. Now Warren has become an overnight feminist symbol of resistance in the face of old crotchety white male opposition."

"...In other words, they claimed that it is against the rules for Warren to criticize Sessions during a hearing about whether or not Sessions is fit to be Attorney General. Warren was not only prevented from reading Coretta Scott King’s entire letter, she was banned from speaking for the rest of Sessions’ confirmation hearing."

"Senate majority leader Mitch McConell explained, “She was warned. She was given an explanation. Nevertheless, she persisted.”

"Warren explained the dehumanizing effect of the Republican Senators’ actions. 'I literally can’t be recognized on the floor of the Senate. I have become a nonperson during the discussion of Jeff Sessions.' This is compounded by the fact that two male Democratic senators were allowed to read the offending letter last night after Warren was silenced."

"The fight is not over, but Warren’s resilience is inspiring; and in the age of social media, any attempts to silence a powerful woman only serve to amplify her voice across the globe."

And lastly, Coretta Scott King's letter:

Overlord L'Orange: Observations of an Average Citizen, Installment #18

Another busy day!

Colin Taylor writes for Occupy Democrats: "L'Orange is furious over Melissa McCarthy's S.S. Spice-her (impersonation) for the worst reason." And: ""More than being lampooned as a press secretary who makes up facts, it was Spice-her's portrayal by a woman that was most problematic in the president’s eyes, according to sources close to him. And the unflattering send-up by a female comedian was not considered helpful for Spice-her's longevity in the grueling, high-profile job in which he has struggled to strike the right balance between representing an administration that considers the media the 'opposition party,' and developing a functional relationship with the press."

Dan Arel writes for Occupy Democrats: "Here are all the terror attacks by white people L'Orange has ignored." And: "L'Orange, who has made it a point to attack the media almost every day since launching his campaign for the presidency chose not to elaborate on his claim that the US media is ignoring or covering up terrorist attacks."

"To the contrary, Mr. L'Orange has seemingly made it a point to ignore all non-Muslim initiated terrorist attacks in North America and only seems to believe that attacks carried out by Muslims are worth mentioning."

Colin Taylor writes for Occupy Democrats: "You won't believe where L'Orange got the idea that the media is covering up terror attacks." And: "The Washington Post did a little digging and discovered that the source of this kind of lie is InfoWars, thanks to Twitter user @UrbanAchievr. The conspiracy theory website is run by L'Orange fan and deranged lunatic Alex Jones, who believes that Sandy Hook was a hoax and that the Obama administration was putting chemicals in the water to turn frogs – and presumably humans – gay. It’s like if the National Inquirer was merged with Breibart in a secret lab run by Hillary Clinton and her team of extraterrestrial lizard-men."

Natalie Dickson writes for Occupy Democrats: "Seth Meyers just made a terrifying prediction about L'Orange and Putin." And: "L'Orange has staked the entire first two weeks of his presidency on the supposed desire to keep bad people from harming the United States. And yet, there are apparently some actually bad people that he’s totally fine with. Now, admitting that the U.S. has made mistakes would be fine, but that’s not what L'Orange is doing. Instead, it sounds like he’s defending Putin because he’s about to get caught for the exact same thing.”

"Meyer’s terrifying assessment sounds more and more accurate with every passing day. Overlord L'Orange's ham-fisted attacks on the media and our independent judiciary seem to be laying the groundwork for punishing them when a terrorist attack does happen. His emulation and defense of Putin are even more disturbing once you consider the fact that Putin’s rise to power was enabled by a terrorist attack that is believed to have been perpetrated by the Russian secret service and publicly blamed on Chechen Muslims."

Natalie Dickinson writes for Occupy Democrats: "Twitter just erupted in fury at Betsy-Wetsy DeVacant's confirmation." And: "Social media networks have erupted in fury at the news that Vice President M.P. has voted to break the Congressional tie and confirm billionaire religious extremist Betsy-Wetsy DeVacant as our next Secretary of Education."

"Entirely lacking any experience in public schooling or student loan management, DeVacant bought her position by pouring millions of dollars into the war chests of Republican congressmen and Overlord L'Orange's Super-PACs. DeVacant once compared her work in education to efforts to 'advance God’s kingdom,' complaining about how public schools have displaced the church from communities and wants to use our public tax dollars to fund religious private schools for wealthy white students instead."

Marisa Manfredo writes for Occupy Democrats: "L'Orange said judges would be responsible for terror attacks. Dan Rather's response just went viral." And: "No sir, Mr. President, with all due respect. The job of protecting this country from a terrorist attack falls on your shoulders."

"In the past few days Mr. L'Orange has launched a very serious and very dangerous campaign of suggesting that if an attack occurs it will be the fault of federal judges who ruled that his Executive Order on immigration was Constitutionally problematic. And more recently he suggested it might be the fault of the press for not reporting on terrorist attacks – an assertion which any fair read of the evidence shows is a lie. As with the sweeping allegations of millions of fraudulent voters (where is the investigation of that dire threat to our democracy now?), the White House cannot supply facts to back up the President’s claim."

"Mr. L'Orange is the Commander in Chief. The armed services and intelligence community report to him. Searching for scapegoats to blame even before an event occurs is to sow the seeds of destabilization to the very fabric of our republic. These are the tactics of a thin-skinned bully who may realize he is in far over his head. No doubt there are many in Mr. L'Orange's base who are being whipped up into a misguided frenzy fueled by 'fake news' and right-wing media. This is a common tactic of authoritarian rulers I have seen around the globe. It is stoking civic unrest and paving a path to crack downs and repression."

"I do not think – or perhaps a desperate hope is father to the thought – that this tactic will work here. Mr. L'Orange built his brand on a bold, brash form of leadership and I think most Americans will see through the rhetoric of dodging responsibility. Furthermore we cherish an independent judiciary as a bedrock of our checks and balances. We can see that the press has covered terrorist attacks fully. And I do not see either judges or reporters backing down. Quite the contrary."

But Mr. L'Orange is signaling how he will react in a time of crisis. To be forewarned is to be forearmed."

Nathan Wellman writes for U.S. Uncut: "Republican lawmaker introduces legislation to abolish Department of Education" And: "Just hours after Betsy-Wetsy DeVacant was barely confirmed as secretary of Education in a tie-breaking vote, a Kentucky House Republican introduced legislation to completely dissolve the Dept. of Education."

"Rep. Thomas Massie’s bill is only one sentence long, simply positing that 'The Department of Education shall terminate on December 31, 2018'.”

Colin Taylor writes for Occupy Democrats: "Lazy L'Orange going on vacation for second weekend in a row." And: "Our so-called 'President' Overlord L'Orange, it seems, is having a very hard time adjusting to the pressures of his office. After spending his entire election campaign questioning Hillary Clinton’s 'stamina' and accusing President Obama of spending all his time on vacation, L'Orange is already planning his next round of R&R – and it hasn’t even been a month yet."

"L'Orange has broken another record – the fastest President to hit the golf course after the inauguration. 'President Barack Obama made it four months into his presidency before his first golf outing as commander in chief. George W. Bush made it even longer, first hitting the links as president about 5 ½ months into his first term. President L'Orange made it two weeks' reports POLITICO."

And lastly:

Overlord L'Orange: Observations of an Average Citizen, Installment #17

I started school again today...hoping it won't slow me down in keeping up with all these political shenanigans.

Today's news: Grant Stern writes for Occupy Democrats: "L'Orange just threatened to defund the state of California." And: "L'Orange's blundering and thoughtless actions are going create yet another constitutional crisis as he fights the behemoth state of California, who is one of the least dependent on federal aid. If California’s plan to become a sanctuary state becomes a reality, the President’s misguided executive order will have had the entirely opposite of the intended effect and will place the feds forever on the wrong side of the law in one of America’s major border states."

Colin Taylor writes for Occupy Democrats: "L'Orange just threw a fit over last night's New York Times Bombshell." And: "Last night, the New York Times published a heavily sourced and highly embarrassing profile of President L'Orange's first two weeks in office. The detailed and extensive piece paints a picture of a White House in complete disarray as incompetent ideologues bicker behind the scenes while L'Orange watches FOX News and obsesses over his poll numbers."

Jon Stone writes for Independent: "Overlord L'Orange will not be welcome to address Parliament on his state visit to the UK because of his racist and sexist attitudes, the Speaker of the House of Commons has said in a major snub to the American president."

Nathan Wellman writes for U.S. Uncut: "L'Orange just briefed top military leaders on a totally insane conspiracy theory." And: "Apparently in this new era of alternative facts, the fact checkers have become America’s greatest enemy. President L'Orange's ongoing war against the media escalated today, when he suggested that the press was maliciously covering up terrorist attacks in foreign countries to make him look bad."

And lastly, there is a video circulating of S.S. Spice-her saying: "Just the other day (L'Orange) sat down with Martin Luther King Jr. I would call him a civil rights leader." Ummm...he's been dead for quite some time now.

Overlord L'Orange: Observations of an Average Citizen, Installment #16

So much news, so little time!

Ann Brenoff writes for The Huffington Post: "L'Orange takes a hair-loss drug associated with mental confusion, impotence." And: "The FDA-approved pill has been called into question, with emerging research and a slew of lawsuits suggesting that finasteride may be more dangerous than previously believed,” reported Men’s Journal. “Users report that its side effects — inability to orgasm, painful erections, chronic depression, insomnia, brain fog, and suicidal thoughts — can last long after patients stop taking the pill.”

Abigail Tracy writes for Vanity Fair: "An anti-L'Orange resistance movement is growing within the U.S. government." And: "As the draft of a State Department letter of dissent made its way through dozens of U.S. embassies abroad, accumulating hundreds of signatures from foreign service officers opposed to Overlord L'Orange's controversial executive order on immigration, White House press secretary S.S. Spice-her issued an ominous warning Monday to the nation’s career diplomats: 'I think they should get with the program or they can go'.”

Michael A. Memoli writes for the L.A. Times: "Declaring California to be 'out of control,' President L'Orange threatened to withhold federal funding to the state if it votes to declare itself a sanctuary state."

Glenn Thrush and Maggie Haberman write for The New York Times: "He will linger on the opulence of the newly hung golden drapes, which he told a recent visitor were once used by Franklin D. Roosevelt but in fact were patterned for Bill Clinton. For a man who sometimes has trouble concentrating on policy memos, Mr. Trump was delighted to page through a book that offered him 17 window covering options."

Lou Colagiovanni writes for Occupy Democrats: "President L'Orange rode a wave of populist anger all the way to the White House. He packed stadiums with tens of thousands of individuals to which he made a litany of promises. He would fix the economy and 'make America great again' by 'draining the swamp.' Once taking power, however, L'Orange has turned an about face and done the exact opposite – and his supporters have noticed. There is so much discontent and buyer’s remorse amongst L'Orange supporters that a Twitter account named 'L'Orange Regrets' has exploded with a flurry of activity where they list all of the reasons why they regret casting their vote for him."

And lastly:

Overlord L'Orange: Observations of an Average Citizen, Installment #15

The last twenty-four hours: The Overlord Tweeted at 5:12 AM, "The opinion of this so-called judge, which essentially takes law-enforcement away from our country, is ridiculous and will be overturned."

Lou Colagiovanni writes for Occupy Democrats: "CNN just did to K.A. Conwoman what no other network has dared to do." And: "Vice President M.P. agreed to appear Sunday on CBS, ABC, FOX, and NBC. He, however, would not appear on CNN in an apparent slap in the face to the network. After M.P. declined, the White House offered to send L'Orange's senior adviser, K.A. Conwoman, to appear instead. CNN said thanks, but no thanks."

Lou Colagiovanni writes for Occupy Democrats: "Eight different European countries just made these L'Orange parody videos." And: "Most of the population of the world watched in abject horror as Overlord L'Orange was inaugurated. After the shock wore off, many nations began their resistance against L'Orange by using satirical videos to expose how absurd of a political figure he truly is, and they did so with hilarious results."

Grant Stern writes for Occupy Democrats: "K.A. Conwoman just got trolled by 'The Bowling Green Massacre Victim's Fund.'" And: "In response, ACLU just started 'The Bowling Green Massacre Victims Fund' in response to Conwoman's gaslighting remarks, and the site directs people to help all of those who are victims of Conwoman's gaslighting (most Americans who read the news today) to donate to their organization, who goes to bat seeking justice for all Americans facing government oppression."

Colin Taylor writes for Verified Politics: "Federal judge James Robart of the Western Washington District Court has just issued a temporary restraining order stopping the enforcement of President L'Orange's immigration ban targeting citizens of seven Muslim-majority nations."

The New York Times posted a live video with this headline: "We’re in front of The Stonewall Inn in NYC, where some members of the LGBTQ community are standing against President L'Orange and his administration."

Tom Cahill writes for U.S. Uncut: "An investigation by the Associated Press (AP) confirmed that President L'Orange never separated himself from his multiple business enterprises." And: "In documents published by muckraking site ProPublica, President L'Orange is listed as the sole beneficiary of the L'Orange Revocable Trust, which is tied to his own Social Security number and his personal tax ID number. In the January 27 letter to the Washington liquor board, the trustees are L'Orange Jr., L'Orange's eldest son, and L'Orange Organization Chief Financial Officer Allen Weisselberg."

Christopher Hooton writes for Independent: "L'Orange admits to curbing Wall Street regulations to help his 'friends'."

Robert Reich writes: "In my fifty years in and around administrations, I’ve never seen as many leaks coming out of a White House – especially so many that are unflattering toward a president, by the people around him." And: "The reason seems obvious: Some of the people around Trump are horrified by what he’s doing and who he is. They see him as a dangerous, petulant child who has to be managed. And they know they can’t manage him by themselves. They need the media and the public to help. Hence, the leaks."

Melissa McCarthy portrayed S.S. Spice-her on Saturday Night Live and it was freaking hilarious! I watched it three times.

Alec Baldwin portrayed L'Orange on Saturday Night Live again, and it was funny, as always. Alec Baldwin is an amazing, brave man.

Too tired to comment on any of this...exhausted.

Overlord L'Orange: Observations of an Average Citizen, Installment #14

Wow! Every day is like riding a roller coaster! But like one of those rickety old ones make out of wood that could break at any moment and plunge you to your death.

Once again, a very eventful twenty-four hours.

How's the average Joe supposed to keep up?

Hayley Peterson writes for the Business Insider: "Nordstrom has officially cut ties with Iwanta L'Orange's brands." NPR also reported that another major department store (I forget which one...maybe Neiman Marcus) has also stopped carrying her stuff. People are not buying it. Literally.

Brett Bose writes for Occupy Democrats: "L'Orange just sold out retirees to Wall Street and ensured another economic collapse." So we all have that to look forward to, if we are not yet participating in World War III.

Alanna Vagianos writes for Huffington Post: "21 women respond to L'Orange telling female staff to 'dress like women'." And "Reminder: there's no one way to dress like a woman." Seriously. You buffoon.

Koh writes for The Daily Buzz: "Dove (the beauty company) trolls K.A. Conwoman's #alternativefacts in new campaign." I find it ironic that a beauty company is trolling her.

Tyler Fine writes for Newsy: "During Thursday's National Prayer Breakfast, President L'Orange took a moment to ask the nation to pray for "The Apprentice" and its host Arnold Schwarzenegger. And: "'When I ran for president, I had to leave the show. ... And they hired a big, big movie star, Arnold Schwarzenegger, to take my place, and we know how that turned out,' L'Orange said. 'The ratings went right down the tubes. It's been a total disaster. ... I want to just pray for Arnold, if we can, for those ratings.'" This is what he's worried about, first and foremost. I kid you not.

"Schwarzenegger had his own message — and an offer — for President L'Orange. 'Hey L'Orange, I have a great idea, why don't we switch jobs? You take over TV — because you're such an expert in ratings — and I take over your job. And then people can finally sleep comfortably again,' Schwarzenegger said."

The President of the United States is on f*cking Twitter all the time! Can someone just cut him off already? This is a deliberate distraction from the really important stuff that's going on. Duh. His administration is using brain tricks, smoke and mirrors and distractions to confuse everyone.

James Dyke writes for Quartz: "The march for Science isn't partisan or anti-L'Orange, it's pro-facts." The Science community has to have a march to wake people up.

Jennifer Agiesta writes for CNN Politics: "First L'Orange approval rating lags behind past Presidents. A majority, 53%, disapprove of the way the President is handling his job, according to a new CNN/ORC poll, marking the highest disapproval for a new elected president since polls began tracking those results. L'Orange is the only President to hold a net-negative rating this early in his tenure."

 Elizabeth Warren Tweeted: "The Wall St bankers may be popping champagne, but Americans haven't forgotten the 2008 financial crisis – and they won't forget today." Thank you, Elizabeth Warren!

 Dan Rather was on The Tonight Show and said that the Press "is not going to shut up!"

Colin Taylor writes for Occupy Democrats: "The L'Orange administration just took credit for Obama's final jobs report." Nice. Ethical. Values.

 Robert Reich writes for Occupy Democrats: "The Four L'Orange Syndromes: Normalizer, Outrage Numbness, Cynical, and Helpless."

Patrick Mairs writes for CBS Boston: "K.A. Conwoman cites 'Bowling Green' massacre that didn't happen." And: "WASHINGTON (AP) — A top aide to President Donald Trump has cited a 2011 “massacre” in Kentucky that never happened as a reason why the administration’s temporary ban on immigration from seven Muslim-majority nations is necessary." This woman.

Brett Bose writes for Occupy Democrats: "A pastor just went viral begging Americans to 'stop calling L'Orange a Christian.'"

Jon Russell writes for Tech Crunch: "Twitter staff donate 1.5 million to the ACLU to fight L'Orange on immigration." If they really want to help, they should dismantle his Twitter account.

The New Yorker magazine's latest cover is the Statue of Liberty with her light snuffed out.

Matt Shuham writes for TPM: "Senators Graham, Whitehouse announce probe of Russian Election Interference." Oh, yeah...remember that?!

Lisa Lambert and Sarah N. Lynch write for The Huffington Post: "Senate votes to kill Dodd Frank anti-corruption rule." And: "It should be lost on no one that in less than 48 hours, the Republican-controlled Senate has confirmed the former head of ExxonMobil to serve as our Secretary of State, and repealed a key anti-corruption rule that ExxonMobil and the American Petroleum Institute have erroneously fought for years." What next? Are they Super Villains?

 The cover of Der Speigel (a German magazine) is a cartoon of L'Orange beheading the Statue of Liberty.

And lastly, MSNBC reported: "BREAKING: A federal judge in Washington state on Friday temporarily blocked President Donald Trump's executive order that put a hold on entry to the U.S. of people from seven predominantly Muslim nations: 'No one is above the law -- not even the President.'" Let's hope so.

A lot to keep up with. Kind of overwhelming. Everyone is feeling overwhelmed. And the people that aren't are in some kind of strange Stepford Wife type of denial.

One of my Republican family members stated today that all the political posts on Facebook are bumming her high (in so many words). This stuff cannot be swept under the rug. It is not the time for people to be 'polite'. Being silent is not an option right now.

Overlord L'Orange: Observations of an Average Citizen, Installment #13

One thing I forgot to mention yesterday was that My-low Yammerontopofallofus' speech was cancelled at UC Berkeley because of protests and rioting in the streets, which included throwing fireballs or something (I need to read more about that...but that sh*t happened yesterday.)

Today I had the day off work, so I slept in late, took a long walk, and am going to have dinner and some White Russians with my special friend Samuel. We're going to watch movies and attempt to distract ourselves from L'Orange for one evening without him infiltrating every fiber of our beings.

NPR just announced that the Overlord has already insulted the President of Mexico today, speaking in 'humiliating tones' and threatened to send troops into Mexico, yelled at and I think hung up on the Prime Minister of Australia, claiming that they were sending terrorists into the U.S., and gave Iran an admonishment on Twitter of "You are on notice." Colin Taylor writes for Occupy Democrats: "L'Orange administration just told a huge lie to start a war with Iran."

So World War III should be happening anytime now.

I promised myself I would be more recreational today, and enjoy myself. Looks like I picked the wrong day.

Overlord L'Orange: Observatins of an Average Citizen, Installment #12

So tired today.

It's hard to keep up with all the news. The average citizen has to work, go to school, go grocery shopping, etc.

And the news is coming at everyone like a tidal wave. It crushes you to the rocky bottom, then spits you back up, only to drag you under again. You can barely catch your breath.

Some of today's news: protests, protests, and more protests.

KA. Conwoman said she will no longer appear on CNN because it doesn't "promote" the Overlord's agenda. Who wants to look at her scary face, anyway? Honestly. The Overlord's White House staff claims that the cable news network broadcasts "fake news" and has been "unfair" to them. (By telling the f*cking truth.)

MSN News reports that "Prince Charles warns on World War II lessons as L'Orange visit spurs outrage." The entire world hates him. (Except for less than one-half of the United States and Russia.)

Grant Stern writes: "House Republicans just voted to allow oil companies to hide foreign bribes." Nice. How can 'we the people' stop them from doing all this sh*t? Every nook and cranny is filled with horrible-ness.

 John Harper writes: "House Republicans just voted to allow dumping of coal waste in rivers." And they claim to be the moral party? In what Universe?

Samantha Bee says: "L'Orange had every right to can Yates (the Attorney General)...she knew her statement would get her fired just like most women expect to get fired upon publicly speaking their minds." Thank you for being you, Samantha Bee! Thank you for the much needed laughter (and insight).

This morning I watched a video of M.P. blathering on about his Christian values, looking like Caspar the Friendly Ghost. He was talking about 'Religious Freedom', but I think that only means if you are a Christian. He kept talking about the "rights of the unborn" (never once mentioned Women's rights), and near the end asked everyone to "support L'Orange and his agenda" and to "get down on one knee and pray". F$ck you, M.P. You are one smooth talker, like a white snake.

Grant Stern writes: "L'Orange just removed White Supremacist groups from terror watch programs." Ummm...why?

David Edwards writes for Time: "Reuters orders reporters to cover L'Orange like an authoritarian regime: expect physical threats." What the f*ck?

And lastly, Tom DiChristopher writes for CNBC: "U.S. veterans group says Dakota Access pipeline 'will not get completed. Not on our watch.'" At least somebody cares and has a human heart.

There's so much more that I didn't get to, but I'm doing my best to weed through and process everything I can. 

Today on NPR they were interviewing someone (I didn't get his name), but he said the Republicans voted this jackhole into office mainly "for their own wallet". He wasn't speaking about the wealthy Republicans, but your average Joe. Their number one main concern was money. At the expense of everything listed above. They were looking out for "Number One" at the detriment of our entire country. And they call themselves "Patriotic". I hope they know this in their guts, and feel it. Really experience it. You sold everyone out for money. You didn't just whore yourself out, but took everyone else along with you. How can I ever look you in the eyes the same way again?
