This is your mind on Trump:

1. Trump appointed Tillerson Secreetary of State: the State Department promptly stopped its daily briefings
2. Trump nominated Rick Perry to the Department of Energy: Perry did not know DoE oversees US nuclear weapons programs
3. Trump appointed Bannon to the National Security Council
4. Bannon says Trump's appointees were chosen to deconstruct their agencies
5. Russia worked to get Trump elected

Any questions?

A. How could Russia benefit from deconstruction of the State Department?
B. How could Russia benefit from deconstruction of US nuclear weapons programs?
C. How could Russia benefit from deconstruction of the National Security Council?

my slogan is resist to the end. that is my plan and between making a living and trying to keep a home, i am as active as i can be, more than ever before in my life.

our democracy is in serious jeopardy and the people in charge are deliberately dismantling it. apparently Bannon actually said that to CPAC yesterday? i didn't read the story, i have to go to work, just a blip on FB

In other words, ,his personal mission is to destroy the government and let the wolves run free with no restraints or rules at all.

AND this destroyer is sitting on the Security Meetings. I think he's trying to destroy America and remake it in the serfs/barons model and guess which we'd be.

the ones rounding up the victims, or the victims. we'll be hungry. our kids will not be educated, or well cared for,..dystopia. i don't get why they want that, but it sure isn't because they're patriotic true believers in the constitution

They (barons, aka 1%) can do anything they want to serfs and we have no recourse. If we want jobs we work for them or sell to them, but always on their terms. No pesty environment or educational rules to get in the way of having us be virtual slaves from childhood through death. That's what they want and are trying to put policies in place now by first eliminating the dept. of Education and EPA. They won't acknowledge climate change because they would have to spend $$, so just destroy the department defending the rules then eliminate all rules. they don't want an educated population, they aren't the meek slaves without hope that they want. First they take away public education, implement Christian or Charter versions, the and those schools only tell the students information the owners want them to have. They won't know much about slavery or unions or the working class or war dissents because the owners don't value those things. They will push the value of war and working hard for the masters and very few will get real education. That's what they want.
