Trump, his Cabinet and the GOP are running roughshod over America and our Constitution. They are trashing the “rule of law” right along with our democratic human rights and social systems. And they are doing all of this right in front of our apathetically blind eyes. Millions of us seem to be waiting for the axe to fall, and still millions of others seem to be in favor of the coming loss of our country as we know it.
Our environmental and ecological regulations and sciences are being removed from law and ignored or abolished at a rate so fast it is difficult to keep up with them, and many scientific reports and models, especially those concerning climate change or global warming, have been stripped from federal websites. The loss of Pruitt, bad as he was, will not slow anything down.
Mnuchin and the feds are again deregulating banks while they are bankrupting our economic and treasury systems, blatantly inviting another great economic recession or depression. We seem to have learned nothing over the last decade.
The goofy guy who used to be the governor of Texas, Rick Perry, is now the guy running the Department of Energy, the department he wanted to get rid of when he was running for president, but unfortunately couldn’t recall the name of such a department during a presidential debate. Busy following orders to retrograde our already antiquated energy systems and programs,He doesn’t know the difference between a nuclear bomb and a nuclear power plant, both of which are extremely dangerous, and that should make us all very uncomfortable.
Betsy DeVos , who has no education in education, has never attended a public school, nor have her children, is busy destroying what’s left of our once state of the art world-leading public educational system. According to the Pew Research Center the U.S. ranks 24th among developed nations in science and reading, and 39th in math.
Gentle Ben Carson (who was once a brain surgeon) is busy divorcing HUD from the Fair Housing Act after 50 years of meaningful effort, and raising rent for low-income households in his spare time.
The new HHS director, Alex Azar says every immigrant “parent should easily know where their children are,” so why is it that our border patrol and ICE don’t? Maybe, now that Price is gone, Azar is too busy driving up health care costs beyond the reach of the lower classes to help them out or do it himself.
The last I heard, the new Secretary of State Pompeo and his department had gone underground so Trump couldn’t interfere with everything they are trying to do, which is mainly working as aides to Kim Jong Un to keep him happy with Trump in the background.
And then our megalomaniacal “Commander-in-Chief” and the Secretary of Defense, Jim “Mad Dog” Mattis , are spending more than half of our tax and debt dollars on military power at the expense of our crumbling infrastructure, our social systems, and, worst of all, aligning our country with autocratic dictatorships while alienating our allies. ~llaw
