Winning - June 2019


Keeping track of the GOP and Trump Administration:
  • The Trump lie count as of June 7th was 10,796. An average of 12/day. A truly stellar achievement.
  • The owners of the former Trump Ocean Club building in Panama filed suit in federal court over tax evasion.
  • Trump's top economist, Kevin Hassett, resigns.
  • The Homeland Security Department acting inspector general, John V. Kelly, "retires" after revelations that he directed staff to whitewash audits of disaster response. The swamp creatures continue to rule.
  • 06/11 - The House votes to seek court enforcement of subpoenas for Barr and Gahn. 
  • 06/13 - The Office of Special Counsel recommends that Trump fire Kellyanne Conway for Hatch Act violations.
    • Trump says he won't fire her. Laws don't matter.
  • 06/13 - Press Secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders resigns.
  • 06/18 - Trump withdraws the nomination of Acting Secretary of Defense Patrick Shanahan for the permanent position. A background check turned up domestic abuse allegations. Maybe try vetting before nominating. 
  • 06/18 - Ann Marie Buerkle, Acting Consumer Protection Chairwoman, will step down in October. Another ACTING agency head.
  • And the bluffing continues. A promised immigrant roundup by ICE is delayed. A military strike against Iran is called off. 
  • 06/25 - The Customs and Border Protection agency’s acting commissioner, John Sanders, resigns. Another one bites the dust.
  • 06/25 - A federal judge ruled that the emoluments case against Trump by 200 Democrats in Congress can proceed. 
  • 06/27 - The Supreme Court returns the 2020 census citizenship question to a lower court. Considered a setback to the Trump administration.
