As each nomination has rolled across my phone, I just keep thinking “you reap what you sow, America.” Can we really be surprised that a man who has spent his career amassing money, then fame, then power, then dominance over his “enemies” is picking people who are first and foremost loyal to him with their dollars (and children’s books, apparently)? I’m not naive enough to believe people in the Administration of any president get there solely by merit (my own time in DC is a product of knowing the right people). But when the top of any Administration looks like this one, it rarely means good things for us, the collective “we the people”, particularly the poor, the sick, children, the immigrant. As we say in my religious practice, Lord, have mercy.

(I’m by nature a very optimistic person, but Spicy Liz is having a moment this morning)

It’s ironic that Trump talks about “draining the swamp” while filling his administration through a pay-to-play model. He should clarify: “Drain, Refill, and Make America Swampier Again”— DRAMASA
