LEST WE FORGET THE HORRORS:
A CATALOG OF TRUMP’S WORST CRUELTIES, COLLUSIONS, CORRUPTIONS, AND CRIMES

THE COMPLETE LISTING (SO FAR): ATROCITIES 1-546
by BEN PARKER, STEPHANIE STEINBRECHER, and KELSEY RONAN

ATROCITY KEY

How much is too much? How much does our way of life, our established beliefs, our way of thinking and our tenets/ethos that were instilled in us since childhood have to be attacked so relentlessly in a negative way before we say "no more, it is not worth the hassle"? Everything that has been learned in our lifetimes about honor, respect, love, adherence to law, humanity, caring about others, and compromise is being thrown out the window every day. Is what Trump trying to accomplish worth losing everything else we have learned or obtained in our lives?

How much are we all willing to sacrifice to have China be totally fair? How much are we willing to pay to make a little extra money? How much are we willing to give to have a disrupter disrupt our lives so completely?

I certainly see that those that support him are getting tired of having to support his every move given that he does something new and disgusting every day. How much patience do Trump supporters have before even they say "I've had it, he isn't worth so much effort"?

Trump has been in office 28 months and already he has said over 10,000 lies and now it is like ignored. I still remember when ONE Obama lie got everyone riled up. Now 10,000+ lies is not an issue any more. Hypocrisy is no longer an issue, lack of ethics, morals, principles and humanity is not an issue. Bullying, which most of us are generally against, is no longer an issue. Disrespect is no longer an issue. Talking positive about our enemies is not an issue but degrading our fellow Americans for simply having a difference of opinion is now an issue.

How much of our humanity have we given up for Trump? Is it worth it?

I say "No, it is not worth it!"

Trump is a cancer that if affecting us all alike (Republicans, Democrats, and Independents). We are losing what once made us a great nation. We are losing our soul to the Devil.

In his dissenting opinion in the case of Olmstead v. United States, 277 U.S. 438 (1928), The great Lewis Brandeis stated the following:

Decency, security, and liberty alike demand that government officials shall be subjected to the same rules of conduct that are commands to the citizen. In a government of laws, existence of the government will be imperiled if it fails to observe the law scrupulously. Our government is the potent, the omnipresent teacher. For good or for ill, it teaches the whole people by its example. Crime is contagious. If the government becomes a lawbreaker, it breeds contempt for law; it invites every man to become a law unto himself; it invites anarchy. To declare that in the administration of the criminal law the end justifies the means -- to declare that the government may commit crimes in order to secure the conviction of a private criminal -- would bring terrible retribution. Against that pernicious doctrine this court should resolutely set its face.

Trump’s contempt of the law is blatant and he does not try to hide it.
 
I am just shocked to realize there are so many deplorables who support such depravity with such passion . I had always thought more highly of the United States.
 
For most of us, it's been "too much" for a very long time. For me, it's from before the election! :doh

Oh man, I forgot about some of these, some of them are classic. Like this one

January 11, 2017 – Donald Trump’s lawyer Sheri Dillon stated that Trump would “voluntarily donate all profits from foreign government payments made to his hotel to the United States Treasury.” Two months into his presidency, no evidence existed that Trump had followed through with this promise. If Trump did accept payments from foreign states through his businesses, as his lawyer claimed, he may have been in violation of the Emoluments Clause of the U.S. Constitution. This clause forbids government officials from accepting “any present, Emolument, Office, or Title, of any kind whatever, from any King, Prince, or foreign State.”
 
– February 7, 2017 – In another rollback of Obama-era policies, the House voted to eliminate two regulations on American education: the Teacher-Preparation Rule, which ensured new teachers would enter classrooms fully qualified to teach; in addition to the School Accountability Act, which evaluated the quality of service American schools provided to their students and distributed funds accordingly. Civil rights advocates have explained that the latter rule was vital to providing education budget for low-income schools, and its removal could thereby harm funding for poorer areas of the country.

I didn't even know about this one. Gotta keep the poor and stupid, poor and stupid.

and lower we go with Trump leading the drop. Hell being the ultimate destination.

So far I have only read through 56 of the 546 instances of his cruelties, collusions, corruptions and crimes but the amount of women that have accused Trump of sexual misconduct stands out right from the start. Then there are a couple of the ones I have read that stand out for me.

1) December 12, 2013 – Years after first stirring controversy about Barack Obama’s birthplace, Donald Trump implied a conspiracy surrounding the death of the Hawaiian State Official who had released Obama’s long-form birth certificate in 2011. Trump tweeted, “How amazing, the State Health Director who verified copies of Obama’s “birth certificate” died in plane crash today. All others lived.” In this case he is actually suggesting that Obama might have been involved in the killing of the Director to hide his birth certificate. How much lower can a person get?

2) – January 25, 2017 – After Donald Trump won the presidential election, his Palm Beach resort, Mar-a-Lago, doubled its initiation fee to $200,000. Talk about taking financial advantage of his position, this takes star billing.

I am going to keep on reading the other 490 instances and will point out more that show what kind of a criminal we have as President. I didn't know that such a detailed list existed but having stumbled into it, I think it is a very valuable record of who Trump really is.

I just wish liberals would quit whining and impeach him. Bring on Mike Pence! Then you can try to impeach him and put your girl Nancy in the White House. She could then appoint her girl Hilldog as VP, retire, and then you finally get the POS president that you all wanted to begin with. :lamo

Trump is trying to right wrongs and you're endorsing the policies of previous presidents to hide under the bed wetting our collective pants.

Good for you.

What the hell is wrong with you never Trumpers?

Which single Obama lie are you referencing?

Regarding the Brandies statement, how do you feel about the conspiratorial involvement of the DOJ, the FBI, the CIA, the NIA, MI6, ASIS and the Russians in their attempt to interfere in the 2016 election?

Are you asserting that Trump is still running the real estate empire that he built?

Link?

Much of the world did, once. Trump has singlehandedly destroyed all trust in America, has alienated America's traditional allies and made America a global laughing stock. He is too stupid to figure this and continues to flounder around in a bizarre self-obsessed reality only he appears to understand. Apparently it's called making America great again. He has failed, dismally.

Do you mean that the maintenance of these rules would prevent the USA education from dropping even more than it already has?

In the later 1960's, the USA public school outcomes were number one in the world. We are now pretty much middle of the pack world wide. Rankings vary.

Any thoughts on the speaking fees for Bill while Hillary was SOS?

How about the production jobs for the Obamas in the movie industry?

What kind of bias is responsible for your delusions? Does it affect other parts of your life?

Mike Pence makes Donald Trump look like Abbey Hoffman. ;)

What anti trust action being conducted by the USA has Trump stopped?

What are talking about? Do you know?

Try reading my post again; sober this time. Try to see if you can find anything relating to 'anti-trust' action Trump has stopped. Do you have any idea what you're on about?

No, and neither do you because none of your links say that. They are just worldwide listings.

My kid doesn't go to school in the US hoss, they go to school in a top three country. So I know what a good school system actually looks like.

And here's a hint. They didn't get that good listening to speculation about maintenance of the rules. What kind of rightthink is that bs. Get the out of my face with that ****.
 
Oh man, I forgot about some of these, some of them are classic. Like this one

Talk about taking financial advantage of his position, this takes star billing.

Your quotes made me think how such a compilation is a pretty good source for putting together lists on related topics. For example...

These go well with one another

January 23, 2017 – ... for his first three days as President of the United States, Trump was also an executive in over 400 private companies. When he did eventually file paperwork to relinquish his ownership, he still did not follow the advice of ethics experts by divesting from his assets—meaning Trump had visibility on his private business interests.

February 22, 2017 – The Trump International Hotel in Washington D.C. received an estimated $40,000-$60,000 for hosting an event held by the Embassy of Kuwait. This violates the foreign emoluments clause of the Constitution ... Trump never divested from his companies, and thus has continued to benefit from payments to the Trump Organization.

February 26, 2017 – The Trump Organization claimed it had made good on its promise to donate all profits earned from foreign governments to the U.S. Treasury. However, it provided no evidence of how much it donated or how that amount was calculated. Since his company has accepted payments from foreign governments (see numbers 41, 42, 63, 102, 135, 210, 277, 319), Donald Trump may have violated the Constitution’s Emoluments Clause, which prohibits any U.S. official from receiving gifts or compensation from another nation’s government. By all recent evidence, Trump has neither divested from his companies nor set up a blind trust for his assets.

April 4, 2017 – Donald Trump’s lawyer revealed the president could withdraw money from the Trump Organization’s underlying trust at any time. The intent of the trust was to prevent Trump from having financial access to his 400 businesses after inauguration. However, the language of the trust certification did allow Trump’s lawyer to “distribute net income or principal to Donald J. Trump at his request.”

June 13, 2017 – Since the election, 70 percent of the properties purchased from the Trump Organization have reportedly sold to anonymous LLCs rather than identified people. Before the election, only 2% of Trump properties went to anonymous companies.
 
Any thoughts on the speaking fees for Bill while Hillary was SOS?

How about the production jobs for the Obamas in the movie industry?

What kind of bias is responsible for your delusions? Does it affect other parts of your life?

You mean all those things that they did AFTER they were Presidents, not WHILE?

Secondly, there is a difference between profiting from an ongoing set of 400 businesses vs a speech fee or a movie. The former is affected much more by policies you may enact or contracts you may give to the companies.

Jules Vern wrote a book and a couple movies have been made, “Journey To The Center Of The Earth”. I doubt tRump’s version has a happy ending.
