This has been the ugliest transition since Bruce Jenner.... January 14, 2017 6:49 pm RL

In case after case Trump has appointed people to head Agencies they have been openly hostile to…

Rick Perry said he would abolish the Department of Energy, now the D student will head the DOE and be in charge of our national labs.

The repeated choosing of the worst possible choices is not accidental, the goal is to cripple the government so that when it falls the billionaire class can replace it with something more to their liking….

Peter Thiel, a big Trump ally Laments that democracy hasn’t been kind to capitalists such as himself since women got the vote, and longs to return to the good old days of the 1920′s and the robber barrons-
…and suggests that the best hope for the capitalist way of life he longs for is to form floating sovereign states on the high seas…

Remember how Trump attacked Hillary for her connections with Goldman Sachs? So far he has hired at least 6 Goldman Sachs alumni and that list is sure to grow… He isn’t draining the swamp, he is filling it with sewage.
As the sane among us have always warned, his concern is NOT for the little people- his concern is to create a kleptocracy, to destroy the institutions that protect the people from the greed of those like himself.

His poll numbers have plummeted, as he alarms more and more of the people on both sides of the political spectrum, as he piles up more scandal in a week than Obama did in two terms… as the people who voted for him are shocked- SHOCKED to learn they may lose their health insurance… as he collects the names of climate scientists and revives a long dead rule that allows him to fire any civil servant without cause.

It doesn’t matter- in 4 years he will have destroyed the nation’s institutions that restrained the billionaire class, and referring to America as a democracy will become a hollow joke.

And the ignorant fools that voted for him and are now reveling in the newfound permission to hurl racial slurs at their fellow citizens- they will be hurt most badly by what their master will do… But people like Trump will turn that anger against some minority group… blaming the powerless for the pain those in power have caused… and the fall into fascism will be complete.

This is how America dies.
