    Not recording history risks repeating previous mistakes a lot more than recording it. And you record as much as possible because you have no idea what might be important in the future or why. Even something as trivial as this.

      I wish I could remember where it was, but I recall a website that just kept track of the day to day highlights of every absurd thing he did. My Google fu is failing me now, but I definitely agree it should be part of his permanent record.

      I think what frustrates me is he does these little stunts where he jingles his keys with his left hand and we all stare (myself included), while he has dozens of other terrible things cooking.

      The left is doing it too right now. “Well we should have / could have prosecuted him, but we didn’t. Anyways, here is a list of crimes he’ll never be punished for”.

      Again, I’m not disagreeing with you at all, I’m just tired already, and I want off this ride.

        Not for nothing but the left did impeach him. Twice. It’s not like they aren’t trying to hold him accountable.
