Lest we forget

I have mentioned previously, I think, that I’m keeping a journal of sorts, of extremely doubtful literary merit. Every day I try to document the atrocities so far as Individual-1 is concerned. The app I use automatically shows you your entries from one year ago, two years ago, etc., so I am constantly reminded of such atrocities that have long since slipped into the memory hole.

But today I’ll pass along an atrocity, as I think it’s fair to say that it would be a prime exhibit in any what if Obama (or, really, any Democrat) had said this proceeding.

One year ago today, Trump took credit for the fact that there were no passenger plane crashes in 2017. In fact, no American passenger plane had crashed since 2009, which just coincidentally (and I mean that quite literally) is the year Obama took office. Imagine if Obama had taken credit for that. They’d still be talking about it. It hardly raised an eyebrow when Trump did it.
