Trump has started his Presidency by lying before God with his hand on the Bible.

"I do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will faithfully execute the office of President of the United States, and will to the best of my ability, preserve, protect, and defend the Constitution of the United States."

Either all at once or one piece at a time.

Keep reminding them that 45 breaks his promises and he doesn't know the first thing about how government works and who all of them work for.

11. Tax Day March
Fri Mar 17, 2017, 10:03 PM
Mar 2017

To defeat this monster we need to keep fighting as hard as we can. There is a Tax March on Washington on Tax day April 15th
Please spread the word. As a national security issue we need to know if this 'so called" president is working for the Russian Government in an effort to undermine our democracy. Signing petitions only goes so far. We need to get out of our houses and into the streets to have an effect. Visit taxmarch.org to learn more.

And just a note, folks: This is by no means a complete list. Find your own for fun and to dangle in front of your Trump-loving Facebook friends, acquaintances, and relatives. Keep reminding them how they've been had. Some of them may even come to their senses.

Some free advice: Be sure you get it exactly right, because Trump's fanboiz will try to derail the conversation arguing about the exact wording or some minor detail. Research twice, post once.

We can't afford to forget any of this.

This CANNOT be allowed to become normalized.

This CANNOT be allowed to become acceptable.
