There will be an accounting.

We want the names. 

The names of the corporations that have rushed to drill in our national parks, dump their poisons into our rivers, chop away at regulations that protect our food and environment. 

We want the names of those members of congress who stood by silently while Trump and his cohorts destroyed our government and country. 

We want the names of the ICE teams who refuse to recognize the humanity of those who they mistreat. 

We want the names of the lawyers and judges who excuse rape and pedophilia.

We want the names. When we get back in control of the government, there will be an accounting.


'Just following orders' will not be an acceptable excuse.
'It was my job' will not be an acceptable excuse.
'It was just so much money' will not be an acceptable excuse.


We will not forget. We will not forgive. There will be an accounting.

David Kurtz of Talking Points Memo has a warning:

Perhaps the White House had planned all along for Attorney General Jeff Sessions to make an appearance at today's press briefing to rail against sanctuary cities. But the timing is consistent with what I've long feared will be the impulse for the Trump administration: When the going gets rough (failed Obamacare repeal, low poll numbers, etc), it will fall back on appeals to racism and xenophobia to regain political footing. 
With so much incompetence taking root, it's not difficult to envision a scenario where those base appeals must become more amped up, extreme, and scurrilous to be "effective." It threatens to turn into a vicious cycle the likes of which we've never seen in this country.
