Amen! I'm sleeping a lot better these days knowing that Hillary isn't making those appointments.

Ed, I was expecting straight honest thought from ARI. I had not even considered the alternative view that it was just Trum Bashing in disguise. I'll have to think about it a little and possibly reconsider my original opinion. Thaks for the jolt of reality.

Not at all sure this commentary is anything but a cleverly disguised view from the far left.
Seems to me the election was more about Americans being "mad as hell and not taking it anymore" from big government and the elitist establishment. Not so much a preference of which individual stood for whatever.

I don't share your trepidations about Trump or his appointments. You could be correct only time will tell.
I am sure of one thing. The appointments Hillary would have made would be (from my perspective) much, much,, much worse. She would have represented at least 4 more years of Obama on steroids, possibly 8. There would be no recognizing the country by then. Just take her at her own words. An open hemisphere, completely open borders restricted energy production etc. Even 3rd world countries would be better off than we.

Fascinating analysis. I have shared this with friends elsewhere too because I think it's important for all of us to consider thoughtfully the impact of the "King's court" in particular.

I have concerns about the alt right believing they've scored a win with Trump's election, and I don't see how Bannon's appointment is a step in the right direction if disabusing them of that notion is one of Trump's goals (and I'm being generous, I don't think he fully grasps the philosophy of the people who supported him most ardently over at Breitbart).

I also don't like the Sessions pick, and Flynn gives me pause as well.

Bottom line? We need to be vigilant, because I think Trump's narcissistic tendencies lend themselves well to attracting yes-men with an agenda, and I further think the agend won't have anything to do with protecting individual liberty.

Wow! This article mirrors my thoughts and analysis on the 2016 Trump “dumpster fire” campaign perfectly (about 99%, anyway…). It is very well written… Ten thumbs up!

This writing makes me long for an article on the subject by Bierce, Twain, or Mencken.
