    Nothing new. He’s going to staff his administration with yes men. Same as Trump always does.

      Not for the first round of appointments in 2017. Tillerson, Pruitt, Ajit Pai, DeVos, etc. were all industry insiders with their own harmful agendas who resigned as soon as they gutted whatever specific parts of their agencies they wanted.

      So, frankly, yes men are probably less harmful.

    I’m just glad the country still has a month and some change left.

    After January though… ugh

      Enjoy the holiday season. Spend time with your loved ones. Remind yourselves what keeps you going and stay strong in the coming years.

      There are families in Gaza who still manage to endure, citizens of Ukraine who have endured the full strength of the Russian army, families in Sinaloa who go through cartel checkpoints taking their kids to school…

      We’ll get through this. Who knows, maybe we’ll even find this to be the catalyst for the changes we always knew would need to happen to thwart the inevitable oligarchy.
