We had better stop looking at the fodder thrown in the air to divert our attention from some really [View all]

important actions being taken by 45.

1. He is placing idiots to head all the agencies and the sub positions under them and our Senators are doing nothing to stop him. And they could if they were paying attention.

Both these actions call for grass-root actions to educate the voters and to organize public protests against the nominations that will hurt folks in the end.

Protests may not stop a confirmation but it will call much needed attention to what and how 45 is further destroying this nation. It will also educate many sleeping voters about the fact that there is much more to an election of Senators and Representatives and a President than just flashy campaigns and their favorite single issues. Town Halls need to address the election of ALL official almost down to dog catcher but certainly the judges the people who will be appointing or nominating judges at all levels.
