If you're like me, an aberration has
disturbed your state of mind for some time. The perpetual agony of
ceaseless scandal and outrageous action has led to both a constant
state of attention, but also the necessity of draining one's mind of
past improprieties, to make room for new transgressions. Yet one
must never relinquish the past for they might forget that he said
about the Charlottesville rally, “and
you had some very bad people in that group but you also had people
that were very fine people on both sides,” about these
people.
Maybe you're like Marc
Thiessen and comments like this are easily dismissed, they
are after all, mere words. Or maybe you're concerned like this
citizen's rebuttal.
If you count yourself as a member of
the second category, then perhaps one can understand the desire to
hold the past and the President to account, like the New York Time's
list of insults,
or the Washington Post's list of lies.
So I made a collection.
The rules, the definition of the
collection, are not as easily quantifiable as the NYT or WaPo lists,
but here's my methodology.
The following collection of news
articles were collected from a daily reading of Vox, Politico, and
Axios, with occasional support from The Guardian, The Intercept,
Slate, and The Atlantic. If anyone would like to recommend another
source, I'd be glad to look at it.
The articles chosen can be lumped into
a few categories. They include (but are not necessarily limited to)
corruption, insults, ineptitude, the investigation into Russian
interference in the 2016 election, and certain astonishing actions
and/or policy decisions enacted (this last category is certainly
subjective).
The prior categories are only of
relevance if the people doing them include; the President, his
family, his Cabinet, his spokespeople, his lawyers, and all other
people he has chosen to work with both past and present (again this
is not entirely comprehensive).
The following link
will take you to a Google Docs page in which I have cataloged the
events. It is view-able but not editable.
I current plan to produce one for the
end of each month, and if anyone has a recommendation on the format
to make it more readable I would be glad to hear it.
