LEST WE FORGET — to be read before voting in November

Lest We Forget the Horrors:
A Catalog of Trump’s Worst Cruelties, Collusions, Corruptions, and Crimes
The Complete Listing (So Far):
Atrocities 1-759
 
Early in President Trump’s term, McSweeney’s editors began to catalog the head-spinning number of misdeeds coming from his administration.  We called this list a collection of Trump’s cruelties, collusions, and crimes, and it felt urgent then to track them, to ensure these horrors — happening almost daily — would not be forgotten.  This election year, amid a harrowing global health, civil rights, humanitarian, and economic crisis, we know it’s never been more critical to note these horrors, to remember them, and to do all in our power to reverse them.  This list will be updated between now and the November 2020 Presidential election.

BEFORE JANUARY 2017
February 10, 2011 – In 2011, Donald Trump stoked false claims that Barack Obama had lied about his education.  During a speech to the Conservative Political Action Conference, Trump said, “Our current president came out of nowhere.  Came out of nowhere.  In fact, I’ll go a step further: The people that went to school with him, they never saw him, they don’t know who he is.  It’s crazy.”
This is false.  Numerous accounts from Obama’s college classmates refute Trump’s claim, including Obama’s Columbia roommate, Phil Doerner.
Read all the rest here.  I suggest you find a comfy chair, 'cause you're gonna be there a while.

Yes, I suppose I could agree with you ... but then we'd both be wrong, wouldn't we?
