One more day

In approximately 24 hours, the most powerful nation on earth will turn from the administration of "no drama Obama"  to the tangerine tweet machine.  We have had eight years of a reasonable, competent, classy government.  Based on the 3 ring circus of confirmation hearings for a range of pernicious, maladroit and downright unqualified cabinet candidates you would think the imminent dissolution of Ringling Brothers was taking place on Capitol Hill.  It seems the Trumpsters' idea of a department head is the person most antithetical to the mission of that particular government function.  Why else nominate a serial litigator against the EPA to guide it.  Why not an advocate of school vouchers to supervise the Education portfolio.  Let's nominate someone who doesn't even know the department of energy is in charge of the nations' nuclear stockpile.  To paraphrase H.L. Mencken, the people have at last reached their heart's desire and the White House is occupied by a downright moron.  After doing everything but offer a free set of steak knives to get people to come to the inauguration, Cheeto Jesus will be confronted the day after his enthronement with what looks like a 200,000 strong women's march on Washington.  I can only imagine the tweetstorm as this latest demonstration takes place.  If your idea of entertainment is making our country the laughingstock of the planet, it's going to be a very interesting 4 years.  If good government is your thing this is going to be a proctologist's dream!
