Bait and Switch

I hesitate to check newsfeeds anymore, because it’s hard to watch an assault day after day.

Trump and his minions- or is it the Heritage Foundation and its minions—are on a mission to neutralize and render unrecognizable the entire U.S government. And it’s been stunning to watch how little resistance they’ve encountered so far, though that is starting to change.

They don’t have the patience or the moral gumption to go through what up to now have been the proper channels. They figure a “mandate” is enough, even though there is nothing close to a clear mandate in their tool belt. And a mandate doesn’t matter, anyway. That’s just a convenient buzzword for “Hey, we’re in power now and we’re gonna clean house, bitches!”

The thing that should stick in everyone’s craw is that there is little good faith searching for wasteful spending. It was to be slash and burn from the get-go, targeting anything that smacked of “wokeness,” but of course claiming other victims along the way—all in the name of fiscal belt-tightening and… efficiency?

Mmm…nothing like the ambience of Nazi to fill the senses and set us all at ease.
