These are lists I have made along the way using angry people’s Tweets or just seeing the awful things happening that had no stop gap and seeing the pillars of Government crumble under the weight of a wannabe despot... Write your own list. Use mine and Anne’s. But just do it. Send it to your Reps. As taxpayers who put people in Government to make change, you have a voice. Please use it.
Aldous J Pennyfarthing asked the question in his story, “Trump reportedly concerned his lawyers are 'fools that are making him look bad' and here are many serious answers.
And more to do with the administration
This is a list I kept up for some time. I am afraid I gave up after awhile but here are his lists of Executive Orders to make sure Biden rolls many back. (It is a list, not a pretty story , so the URLs are all exposed.)
tRUMP is changing norms/stripping regulations/rewriting history/hiding what he does not like:
*** W T A F America? In 2019, Scott Pruitt did not think that anyone in the public needs to know what is stored in dangerous chemicals because it saves money not to inspect or care… and was a lot of trouble… so tRUMP rolled back Obama’s regulations that let first responders know what chemicals are burning/flooding/ seeping/smouldering! tRUMP reversed the Obama restrictions on ammonia nitrate that caused a 2013 explosion in texas ... and 2020 Lebanon. REGULATIONS!! https://www.washingtonpost.com/climate-environment/2019/11/21/trump-reverses-safety-rules-adopted-after-deadly-chemical-explosion/

***The tRUMP admin removed the Obama era ethics pledge that “prevented registered lobbyists from seeking or accepting employment with any executive agency that they lobbied the two years prior.” https://obamawhitehouse.archives.gov/the-press-office/ethics-commitments-executive-branch-personnel Propublica Found a “Staggering” 281 Lobbyists Who’ve Worked in the Trump Administration.

“After the war, most people involved in the genocide claimed they were simply following orders and doing their jobs.” Auschwitz Memorial Museum “Every record has been destroyed or falsified, every book rewritten, every picture has been repainted, every statue and street building has been renamed, every date has been altered. And the process is continuing day by day and minute by minute. History has stopped” - Orwell 1984
“Why You May Never Learn the Truth About ICE.” JFC… tRUMP is making temporary or not saving important documents!! In 2017, the Archives agreed to let Immigration and Customs Enforcement officials delete or destroy documents that detail the sexual abuse and death of undocumented immigrants, and despite receiving tens of thousands of comments and hearing the objections of dozens of lawmakers, they moved forward with a plan last month. https://www.nytimes.com/2020/02/04/opinion/archives-document-destruction.html
“ It’s not just ICE. The Department of the Interior and the National Archives have decided to delete files on endangered species, offshore drilling inspections and the safety of drinking water. The department even claimed that papers from a case where it mismanaged Native American land and assets — resulting in a multibillion-dollar legal settlement — would be of no interest to future historians (or anyone else). “
The State Dept is not even turning over documents… “Going forward, it is not even planning to turn these records over to the National Archives — a clear violation of the Federal Records Act. And so far there has been no public acknowledgment or discussion of this plan. When a group of concerned historians met with Archives senior staff members, they did not even seem to be aware of it.” https://www.nytimes.com/2020/02/04/opinion/archives-document-destruction.html
An example of blurred sign https://twitter.com/Lollardfish/status/1218975732552163329 This guy says it all… “But editing a photo and glossing over the fact that many demonstrators turned out to protest Trump is, itself, a political act.” https://www.cnn.com/2020/01/19/opinions/national-archives-womens-march-history-corruption-perry/index.html
The WOMEN’s March historic photo … ‘Trump’ and ‘vagina’. and God hates tRUMP (tRUMP was blurred out) the very word RUMP used when he spoke of assaulting women, was blurred in the Woman’s exhibit at the National Archives!! They since apologized, but, it was not as they said “a mistake!” https://twitter.com/USNatArchives/status/1218613275656687621 It was signed of from administration, so that is an apology made of lies, sigh… The reason they said they did it was to avoid political controversy, in a HISTORICAL archive, that was displayed in a freaking woman’s suffrage POLITICAL exhibit, showing a women’s march organized to make a POLITICAL STATEMENT and to be seen and freaking heard … so that excuse is shot, as is this one:
Does it mean tRUMP wanted then demolished? “As a non-partisan, non-political federal agency, we blurred references to the President’s name on some posters, so as not to engage in current political controversy,” Archives spokeswoman Miriam Kleiman to WaPo, “Our mission is to safeguard and provide access to the nation’s most important federal records, and our exhibits are one way in which we connect the American people to those records. Modifying the image was an attempt on our part to keep the focus on the records,” Kleiman added. https://twitter.com/washingtonpost/status/1218324719688126465
The Trump admin. has quietly but systematically removed mentions of "sexual orientation" and "gender identity" from executive branch guidelines on discrimination. Mr. ”Pro LGBTQ” shows his true colours… (He has done this in many other areas and also on websites.) https://twitter.com/NBCPolitics/status/1212509072160907268
tRUMP “removes or removing” and rolls back things that are needed…

*FFS Nikki Haley tweets… Smart move by @realDonaldTrump with his executive order directing agencies to identify & cut red tape that could slow our economy.

“10 years after the Gulf of Mexico oil spill, the Trump admin is undoing Obama-era safety steps taken to prevent another spill. Deepwater Horizon was a reminder that consequences could be pretty significant when we hollow out environmental regulations." https://t.co/46tkbCYJVe?amp=1
Bye bye post office… and voting by mail … Major Trump & RNC donor Louis DeJoy is becoming postmaster general of the United States, putting a top ally of Trump in charge of an agency he has long criticized. DeJoy is currently lead fundraiser for RNC convention. The GOP want to sell it off… PRIVATIZED for PROFIT https://t.co/YQn1y2isBk?amp=1
The Trump administration is moving to allow railroads nationwide to ship liquefied natural gas as part of a push to increase energy exports — a practice that hasn't been permitted until now because of the uncertain hazards it presents. Firefighters, the NSB, experts, local politicians and environmentalists are bitterly opposed. A real life explosion in Quebec Canada disintegrating much of a town shpuld have been a deterrent to even suggest it… https://t.co/n6G33kt8DX?amp=1
TWEET: tRUMP wants to remove bribery laws and other laws pertaining to the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act. The man who was just impeached says that, and also tweets that America is open for business. It sounds like MOBSTER talk! https://twitter.com/LincolnsBible/status/1229781030787145729
COVID-19: Previously CDC response was to help overseas to assure the disease didn’t some to America… but tRUMP removed that National security role and cut the budget for preparedness of health by billions in 2018, 2019 and even after this new virus, for 2020 budget as well! “In 2018, when John Bolton assumed the role of national security advisor, Ziemer left, and Bolton disbanded his team, amid public outcry. No one has since filled the position. And Ziemer wasn’t the only public health advocate to jump ship: White House homeland security advisor Tom Bossert, a staunch advocate of infectious disease preparedness and the bio-defense strategy, left soon after Bolton took over.” https://www.motherjones.com/environment/2020/01/coronavirus-white-house-public-health-cdc-hospitals/
In the spring of 2018, the White House pushed Congress to cut funding for Obama-era disease security programs, proposing to eliminate $252 million in previously committed resources for rebuilding health systems in Ebola-ravaged Liberia, Sierra Leone, and Guinea. Under fire from both sides of the aisle, President Donald Trump dropped the proposal to eliminate Ebola funds a month later. But other White House efforts included reducing $15 billion in national health spending and cutting the global disease-fighting operational budgets of the CDC, NSC, DHS, and HHS. And the government’s $30 million Complex Crises Fund was eliminated. https://foreignpolicy.com/2020/01/31/coronavirus-china-trump-united-states-public-health-emergency-response/

Flashback: February 28, 2017. "Trump quietly signed a bill into law Tuesday rolling back an Obama-era regulation that made it harder for people with mental illnesses to purchase a gun."
*2017… President Donald Trump issued another executive order, Enforcing the Regulatory Reform Agenda. The President was flanked by leaders of the country’s largest corporations, including the heads of Dow Chemical, Lockheed Martin and Archer Daniels Midland, when he signed the document.
The order tightens the screws on federal agencies by putting in place enforcers to ensure compliance with White House policy “to alleviate unnecessary regulatory burdens placed on the American people.” Trump said his new order would help eliminate “75 percent of the repetitive, horrible regulations that hurt companies, hurt jobs.” Talking out of both sides of his mouth, tRUMP insisted that, ‘although he sought to cut three-quarters of all federal regulations, he still wanted to protect public health and safety and the environment.’ https://whowhatwhy.org/2017/02/27/trump-designates-agency-hit-squads-cut-regulations/
Best at being worst “president” Defunded FEMA, Cancer Research, HIV/Aids Services, Head Start, Mental Health Services, Substance Abuse Programs, Maternal Health Services, Coast Guard, etc … Worst relationships w/US allies Largest tax cuts for corporations Most cabinet and WH firings Longest shutdown Highest tariffs since 1930 MOST LIES (13k lies and counting) https://twitter.com/jojorez/status/1198014874363858945
To believe tRUMP is anti-corruption, you need to suspend reality. See my many pages of his criminal acts and dealing with the mob. Also, in 2017, Trump sought to eliminate the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act, which bans U.S. companies from bribing foreign officials. “It’s just so unfair that American companies aren’t allowed to pay bribes to get business overseas,” Trump says, “We’re going to change that.” This was a long-held position by Trump. In 2012, he called the law a “horrible law” that “puts us at a huge disadvantage.” http://nymag.com/intelligencer/2020/01/report-trump-tried-legalize-bribery-ukraine-impeachment-corruption.html
tRUMP quietly removed National Security programs over the last 3 years – “The programs cut over the past two years include training exercises for dealing with weapons of mass destruction at the state and local level. Another initiative that worked with foreign governments to prevent the smuggling of nuclear materials was also abandoned.” And making Kushner his Middle East guru was a hint he was working for his tRUMP business interest, foreign interests, oil ,Israel and, NOT America. https://www.latimes.com/politics/story/2019-07-17/times-investigation-homeland-security-gutted-programs-aimed-at-stopping-wmd-terrorism
Department of Agriculture is in charge of securing food for the people, not starve the poor to pay for tax cuts for the rich… “The Dept of Agriculture has finalized a process whereby 755,000 Americans will be removed from the federal food stamp program. Secretary Purdue says it's an effort towards "self sufficiency," and is the first step of many to cut food assistance.” https://twitter.com/alexwagner/status/1202270886319009792
tRUMP wants NYT and Wapo removed from Government sites. Says it will save money but most a free subsciptions: “Government officials read and rely on the country’s major newspapers, which have reporters stationed around the country and across the globe and document everything from bombings in Syria to the passage of bills in Congress. Canceling the subscriptions could limit officials’ access to vital information that could assist them in doing their jobs.” https://www.wsj.com/articles/trump-to-tell-federal-agencies-to-cut-new-york-times-washington-post-subscriptions-11571937831
tRUMP hotel data removed from site. UMMM tRUMP said it would be too hard to figure how much of the monies are from foreign sources. That is simply not true. He just doesn’t want to. https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/business/wp/2017/08/11/government-removes-trump-hotel-data-from-website-says-it-was-posted-accidentally/
Election commission *Blast from the past:* tRUMP and Republicans made it easier to steal an election by killing the Election Assistance Commission in February 2017. It was the *only* federal agency that can help the states with vote anomalies. The supposed replacement was a sham and was disbanded. In response, he created a commission to investigate voter fraud, led by controversial Kansas Secretary of State Kris Kobach that FAILED MISERABLY and was to SUPPRESS votes. https://www.thenation.com/article/house-republicans-just-voted-to-eliminate-the-only-federal-agency-that-makes-sure-voting-machines-cant-be-hacked/
FARA 22 U.S.C. Foreign Agent Registration for Foreign Lobby and Logan Act 18 U.S.C. § 953
Is there anybody who hasn't blackmailed or bribed this administration? Who wasn't money laundering? Who wasn't an unregistered foreign agent working for another country and not America? Who was not influenced by foreign entities? Who did not have access to and communications with, Russians? Who did not try to make back channels BEFORE tRUMP was sworn in? The Logan Act says that private citizens shall not conduct foreign policy, and so the FARA Act was created to help people lobby in other countries legally. [except none applied legally as they are criminals, mobsters and grifters who are rich and so untouchable]
Flynn was an agent of Turkey and Russia; Manafort an agent of the Yanukovich and Russia; Jared with Israel and family friend Bibi with possible connections to the Chabad NY/Putin mob, with suspicious ties to Saudis, Russians, Wikileaks, Mexicans, Qataris, Broidy with connections to Quataris and Romania. (I have hundreds of pages on these guys… so please say you know all about the corruption… you really should)
Giuliani has lobby connections to Ukraine/Russia, Venezuela, Romania, Turkey, Quatar, Iran, Brazil, Columbia and more and still works with them AND for the “president” as outside counsel and yet insists he need not register as a foreign agent as he is not lobbying IN AMERICA, he is lobbying elsewhere and not in the USA? He is lobbying America in support of a “president” so who is he kidding? ‘On one end of the call: The socialist president of Venezuela. On the other: Trump's personal attorney. When word filtered to the WH, there was worry. “We didn’t know why Rudy was involved." ‘How Giuliani got involved in with back channel talks with Maduro.” Giuliani was negotiating Maduro's potential exit in Venezuela -- contra U.S. policy and the Logan Act https://t.co/WAM37SNDRL
While Alan Dershowitz has been informally advising the Trump admin on the Middle East peace process, he agreed to a contract to provide advice to an U.S. lobbyist who repped Qatar. Dershowitz didn't disclose this to the W.H.
Now we find that tRUMP’s actions alarmed the FBI after James Comey’s firing, so that it began a counterintelligence investigation into whether he was working on behalf of Russia as a Russian agent or was being manipulated by one.
After reading about how corrupt Pam Bondi has been, she was then hired by the administration.
PLUS Bondi is a registered lobbyist for Qatar~! Qatar that gave Kushner a deal and loans… $80 million high-interest loan, plus a comapny they own made a cushy lease deal for 666 – 5th Avenue… that bailed him out… https://t.co/lZhl9vBwJV

Vetting has to be done better! Ask Borat… about his ‘daughter.’ And the Chinese woman who somehow got off with no charges after bringing in spy equipment and several rolls of cash and lying to say she was at Maralago for a swim… and this horrible example.
Karyn Turk, “ pleaded guilty in federal court Sept. 27, just a day after she hosted a fundraiser for Republican political consultant and self-proclaimed “dirty trickster” Roger Stone to raise money for his legal defense.." “the day she was sentenced, Turk uploaded a picture to Instagram. In it, she stands in a red dress in front of Mar-a-Lago, President Donald Trump’s Palm Beach estate." She was given one month jail time for Social Security FRAUD!! (ONLY A MONTH for stealing a third of a million dollars… people who are innocent have longer jail time if they can’t make bail FFS!) She is a MAGAt as well, of course… and makes her money by being a “pro-Trump media personality.” That is how 50 percent of tRUMP MAGAts seem to make their money!! https://deadstate.org/maga-youtuber-gets-jail-time-for-pocketing-over-300k-of-her-ailing-mothers-social-security-checks/
