Why is no one disturbed by this?

[Joods]

Dan Coats, Dir. of national intelligence was not made aware of the WH invitation to have Putin visit the US this fall. He found out about it because while giving an interview, a tweet was made about it. He was just as shocked as the rest of us.

The POTUS needs to go. Yesterday. He is a problem and cannot be trusted with this nation's national security issues. LOCK HIM UP!

At this point it’s kind of hard to be any more disturbed than I already am

I guess I just feel like Americans are becoming desensitized to what's going on. If the members of Congress continue to allow him to violate our national security while they do nothing, then what hope do we, as a country have when we see our elected officials being so complacent?

It seems that he and his family violate ethics laws (I can't think of the word off the top of my head, it's late) and they continue to do many things that, if any other president attempted, they would be put through the ringer. Yet 45 and his family get away with more and more shit every day.

Yeah, this is simply item #2065 on the list of WLB fuckups.  I have fuckup fatigue.

However, it isn't as if no one noticed.

Trump staffers freaking out because DNI head Coats laughed at president’s invitation to Putin to visit White House: report

The White House is in discord Thursday night after President Donald Trump’s decision to invite Russian dictator Vladimir Putin to Washington was mocked by one of his senior aides, reports the Washington Post.
The decision to follow-up on Trump’s much-criticized Helsinki summit by inviting the dictator who installed Trump as president through election meddling with an invitation to visit the U.S. was apparently shocking to Director of National Intelligence Daniel Coats, who was told about it on stage at a conference.
“Okaaaay,” Coats said when told. “That’s going to be special.”
The Post reports that “inside the White House, Trump’s advisers were in an uproar over Coats’s interview” and that “the optics were especially damaging.”

The WLB can't handle being laughed at....although he should be used to it by now.

Yup.  I'm over-extended too.  Still .. nah, I'm just dead inside now.

It’s one of my evil plots, you know?

Everyone will end up completely numb (possibly dumb) by the time Trump has finished his first and only term as pres and no one will resist when I move in and take over.

[Minimalist]

His followers are already dumb.

Someone in Trump's inner circle needs to make a sincere effort to point out to that tangerine wankmaggot  that he works for the United States.

I've spent many years teaching myself to not worry about things that I have no control over. This fucktard is going to do whatever the fuck he wants for the next 6 years and there is absolutely nothing I can do about it.

And that is how fascism creeps in. Each step towards an authoritarian government seems normal, explainable or only a little bit surprising but would have been unthinkable two steps earlier.

Trump gets away with gaslighting because it becomes normal and his ego means that he has to believe it himself.

Ask yourselves, what's going to be normal two years from now?
