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.

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.

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

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.

Question: if 45 is impeached, does that mean his cabinet must be replaced by his successor's appointees?

Even if he's impeached, though, Pence would be his successor.

Smaller government has been a stated and striven for Republican goal for a long time. Crash and burn and total destruction of government is Bannon's stated goal. I think his nihilism is way beyond money at this point.

I know a lot of people don't want him impeached because then we end up with President Pence, but to me - I disagree with literally everything Pence thinks, I find his views largely abhorrent - but I'm still gonna need him to take over ASAP. We're going to get Pence's scary policies anyway, and at least Pence is an adult who knows how to read, won't hang up on world leaders, or start WWIII.
