Our wings are not tired.

I want to set something on fire.

Don't need to. They are burning it all down. At this point they are going to appoint completely unqualified and incompetent people to all positions in government. Upside, they shouldn't be able to get anything done?

My rage level is off the charts, but my fears are more with the court appointments because they are the only ones that can stop the madness.

I'm rage-eating potato chips.

It occurs to me that now our kids will have the literacy level of the current POTUS (who, I'm more and more convinced is actually functionally illiterate, and I'm not joking).

I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs

My one, slim hope is that DeVos won't be able to navigate the bureaucracy any better than Trump, and the Department itself (which probably has a lot of competent, dedicated people in it) will be able to slow her roll.

Maybe she can't read, either.

DOE doesn't like her, do they? It won't be fun over there, but I bet there will be a lot of stonewalling.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

I can't understand why they want unqualified people in positions of import. Do they just think it doesn't matter? Surely not EVERY Republican wants to completely dismantle the government. Am I being naive?

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

A lot of the elected Republicans want to mostly dismantle the government, I think.

call me jacki; zuisa is an internet nick from ancient times =)

I was so angry about DeVos I had super crappy fast food for lunch and had the place served alcohol, I would have started drinking at 1pm.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

They want money. They want people who have money to make more money, and give them money.
