Yes. Burn down the political opposition to Republicans. Great idea.

If every single Democrat doesn’t vote against DeVos, I will snap. She is a horrible monstrous person.

There MUST be something like that going on. Unless it’s just a case of “we’ll, we can’t oppose all his picks, who are we, Mitch McConnell?”

Reactions like yours are why national politics is as dysfunctional as it is.

I’m going to guess that this is the reason—DeVos, Puzder, Sessions are worth devoting lots of energy/time.

This is what I’m really hoping, especially with Devos...

I can only assume (hope?) they are backing him because they have bigger fish to fry in terms of the cabinet nominees (like they’ve made a deal that they’ll back him if so-and-so doesn’t back someone else?). This still feels like a betrayal, but there are worse cabinet picks, imo.

I need a legit flow chart of everything Trump / the Government is doing wrong, updated by the hour.

Does anyone want to turn this into a website with me?

Actually, fuck everyone who didn’t vote first and foremost.

But at least his country will stop changing so much, what with all of Obama’s insurance stuff and gay people. PC too. That’s shit is killing the country. Is he also getting a pay freeze, I thought that was happening to Feds too?

This is my only joy lately, knowing that those Good Salt of the Earth Everymen who voted for this rancid orange barnacle will soon be well and truly fucked as a result of their actions. Of course, we all will be to a certain degree. Just let me have this schadenfreude for a moment longer.

...good.

Remember, President* Trump will personally benefit from the pipeline. I’ve said it before, and I’ll say it again: it’s a good thing that his conflicts of interest aren’t over something truly sinister, like helping African children with AIDS.

My Trump-voting colleague has spent the last year interviewing and going through the motions to enroll in a particular federal job training program that would have guaranteed him a significantly higher salary and better benefits than our current job. Hebjust told me that he can’t get hired now because of Trump’s…

You know, my SO told me about this, and I thought he was joking. (In my defense my SO didn’t know what specific day was being named a National Patriot Day, he helpfully suggested that it should be “the first Monday after the Super Bowl”). This is real life?? Making his own inauguration day a fucking holiday?? Even Kim…

Because we elected a loud, confident ignoramus to the presidency.

What could go wrong?

My experience is that white folk (and Latin folks- I call my people out on their anti-blackness) have never been put on notice for their shitty behavior. They just get it echoed back to them, reaffirming their values. It’s disconcerting and exhausting.

Bawse.
