Trump names budget director Mick Mulvaney as acting White House chief of staff

the sad fact is

There are people with their heads full of confederate and aryan dreams that they would follow trump in a revolt. The Billionaires would back it. Russia would back it.

If they do, then the next time, we trash all the part about "malice toward none, charity towards all", because the CSA has been fighting their war long after 1865.

I come to bury Bush, not to praise him

(When in doubt, use the Bard.)

Look, I can understand wanting to stay classy, wanting to show decorum and respect for the office, and indeed, towards a human being.

That being said, the honeyed words of some pundits and press are making me want to vomit. Nos, Bush was not some lost scion of some more dignified time. The GOP was always nasty, always willing to kill or imprison black and brown people, always willing to blow more of the national treasury on a war. He does not need to be sainted, or looked at wistfully.

As bad as trump is, we cannot forget he is merely reaping the fruits of seeds Reagan and his Lieutenant, Bush planted. Yes, Bush intended his son Jeb to run the plantation, but frankly, America no longer bothered to hide the fangs under it's mask. When I am Silver haired, I fully expect to see this honeyed praise on Trump, because the next idiot will either turn this nation into a bad version of "the handmaid's tale" , A Russian owned property, a Chinese owned property, or all three.

History is not blind, and despite the depictions of her, neither is Justice.
