I'm so confused

Through out the time I have been watching presidents come and go. Nothing compares to this. I have seen different scandals, criminal acts, stupid shit, etc. But I was always able to keep up at least with the main gist of what was happening.

This WH has so much baggage I can't keep up.

I mean think about it. There is so much going on you would really need several data bases.

A data base on stupid stuff said by WH reps and the prez. This could include just being ignorant, conflicting stories, out right lies, etc. The who knew it was this complicated stuff coming from the WH.

A data base on the personal ties and conflicts of interest for all in the WH. Not just during the elections but on going. Including assets of the family but also the people he brought in. Loans, partnerships, property sales, initiation fees to his golf clubs, etc

A data base on the elections/transition/presidency, the communications with foreign agents, unregistered lobbyist, and special interests.

A data base on who was involved from foreign governments. The oligarchs, ambassador, possible spies, etc.

A data base on what, who, where, when on attempted and successful attempts by foreign actors to influence the elections.

I probably missed some but you get the idea. I mean even possible mafia ties. This WH has so many plots and sub-plots it boggles the mind. And this is just getting near the 100 day mark.

I sat there going through some of the stuff going on with this WH. It's just overwhelming.


Another data base would be his executive orders, his immigration policies, etc.
When it came out they wanted put parents in different detention centers then their children. That in it's self would have been head line and stayed the head line. Things like ICE deporting the woman who had been in the U.S. married had children (One special needs child) and just doing a fast track deportation. That is just wrong on so many levels. People are just a number. Something he can point to and say I deported this many, I'm great.

Had to get in at least a small rant.

A big, complicated, relational database. What you could do then is link together those who said stupid stuff AND had special interests, link personal interests to foreign oligarchs and so on. Databases are wonderful, dangerous things.
