The Trump machine is already on the move. Is this really what people across the nation wanted? A Fox commentator with little administrative experience to run the defense department (he thinks Israel should take all the West Bank). Marco Rubio, who justifies all the death in Gaza and opposes a ceasefire, for Secretary of State. RFK, an anti-science advocate with a worm in his brain, to be in charge of health matters. There is Mike Huckabee, an adherent of the “End Times” theory with a weird role for Israel, for Middle East affairs - to hasten the end times?

Musk, the richest man in the world (previously an illegal alien) to steer more of the wealth of society into private hands that are already wealthy, while assisting in gutting NOAA (weather forecasting) fishing quotas, offshore wind farm environmental impact studies, collects and monitors world wide climate change data, and environmental protections and breaking unions. They just added Matt Gaetz, an (alleged) child sex trafficker, to be Attorney General. How does that go down, evangelicals? But then, the President Elect is a known woman abuser and a multiple felon. Great Choice.

The election in Washington State went very well. We here and the rest of the West Coast (and New Mexico?) will resist these attempts to take us back to the dark ages.
