Let's recap the latest, shall we?

So I've been a little out of the loop for a few days, so most of what I have is more headline than anything, so please forgive me a little ignorance.  As I understand it, here are "45's" latest failings, in no particular order:

  • Meeting with PM Trudeau of Canada, he is unable to pull his dominance handshake and Trudeau flagrantly talks about the differences in ideals about immigration in a joint press conference.
  • The unconstitutional and thoroughly un-American travel ban based on a religion is still being denied by courts.
  • In a joint press conference with Benjamin Netanyahu, he turns a question about the rise in anti-Semitism into another chance to talk about himself and his election win, and mocks the Israeli leader when he doesn't give "45" a confident response to a statement.
  • At least two of his cabinet picks have pulled out from consideration for their respective posts.
  • He fired his national security adviser, under the guise of Flynn "resigning," with reports of a Senate committee investigation highly likely.
  • His Russian connections are still looming over him like a not-so-subtle elephant in the room.
  • Kellyanne Conway continues stepping in it, making her and Sean Spicer's jobs that much more difficult; she has been barred from "Morning Joe," of all shows.
  • News outlets continue to defend themselves and their reporting, and not letting him or his staff get away with their BS.
  • He essentially killed a Navy SEAL and several civilians in a botched raid.
  • Republican Congress members are turning against him.
Man, I'm tired just from headlines let alone the actual meat of the stories!  The good news is piece by piece, the regime is being chipped away despite its best efforts to keep stable.  I still don't think anything major is going to happen until after the midterm elections - even with the few that have started talking, there won't be enough brave Republicans to stand against him now to turn any decisions; it will have to wait until they lose their seats late next year and the power swings back the other way.  But as President Obama was always so fond of saying, I'm trying to remember to "Choose hope" when I see the actions and strength of those who continue to fight.  The wall will topple, and I don't mean the ridiculous Mexican border idea.  Tyranny never wins. #resist
