By now it is hard to deny that The D is incompetent, bungling, delusional, and seemingly bat-shit crazy.  (Editorial note, I have decided to use the moniker ‘The D’, since it takes too long to type and to read “He who shall not be named’.) Yet, Republicans in Congress appear to be too cowardly and opportunistic to interject any level of accountability to the mounting evidence of significant national security breaches and other shenanigans from an Administration that ‘will not be questioned’.

In politics it takes one set of skills to get the job and an entirely different set of skills to do the job.  This has never been more true than in our current post-Citizens United reality;  where enormous sums of money are needed to be a serious contender for high office or appointment.  The D is a perfect example of someone who shines on the campaign and fund-raising trail, but is spectacularly unqualified for the job itself.

Only John McCain (so far) has the courage to break Republican ranks, and state publicly what is becoming increasingly obvious– The actions of The D and this Administration are uninformed, dangerous and threaten our very way of life.  In McCain’s own words–this is how  Dictators get started.

The process to confirm Cabinet members is designed to ensure that our country is served by qualified, experienced and dedicated public servants in important leadership positions. The process with this Administration and a Republican controlled Senate has become an auction and a farce.   Kudos to the two Republican Senators who voted against DeVos as Secretary of Education: Susan Collins of Maine and Lisa Murkowski of Alaska.  DeVos is ridiculously and uniquely unqualified for her position–her one (and only) qualification was donating obscene amounts of money to those giving her the job.

We are in unchartered waters here – no previous president has so blatantly disregarded the other branches of government or long-standing protocols of the Executive branch.  How bad does it need to get before the Republican Majority calls foul?

Heading the dishonorable nominee list is Paul Ryan–who tried to grow a pair for ten minutes last summer, as he oh-so-briefly withheld his support for The D; eventually succumbing  to a tsunami of greed and power lust.

My second nominee for exceptional dishonor is the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee Chair Rep. Jason Chaffetz: who continues to be deaf and blind to his constituents and to the very purpose of the committee that he chairs by declining to investigate extremely serious allegations of blatant and treasonous security breaches within The D’s inner circle.  Apparently, he is too busy obsessing over Hillary’s emails.

The Democrats are not blameless. Recent events  have shown that they have lost touch with the concerns of many Americans–who feel disenfranchised and under-served. Cries of elitism and power-mongering are not undeserved or untrue for either party.

I won’t even go into my dismay at the millions of tax payer dollars that we are spending on security for the First Family to enable their lavish lifestyle.  Although — just maybe,  I would feel a little better about it if The D paid taxes too.

The silver lining in all of this is SNL…   I hope I remembered to record it this week!
