Meet the new boss - same as the old boss - only worse.

For those reporters and talk show hosts that are making the pilgrimage down to Mar-a-Lago, to have an audience with the new Leader, please realize that he has not changed, except for the worst. This is no time to try and make "normal".

It doesn't matter if he got 100% of the vote, your job is to report the truth and the facts to the America people, not to feed the people bullshit from the new Leader. Nobody believes he has changed his criminal ways.

Nobody believes that he will not shit on our Constitution every chance he gets, as he is doing right now, trying to get around the "advise and consent" clause of the Constitution. It is obvious to everyone that he wants an AG that will drop all the investigations against him and clear his name of any criminal act. Matt Gaetz is that guy.

It will be a surprise to most folks if the US Senate does not go along with his wishes. That is what you need to be reporting, not competing to see who can get the ratings by talking good about the convicted felon.

You know Trump will not follow the law or the constitution.
It is all meaningless him.
He is now consolidating his power and he is not even in office.
Just his threats are enough.

The need to inform the people that it is up to the Republicans in the Senate to approve these nominees for the positions of AG and Secretary of Defense, etc. It is their sworn obligation and responsibility.

They swore an oath to uphold the Constitution of the United States and Trump wants to skirt around it, just like he did previously.

Democrats must be more vigilant and more vocal than ever.

I don't know what the strategy will be on our part.

Sit back and let Trump and the GOP hang themselves.
Or speak out.

The reality is that most of the voters don't care if Trump breaks laws.
That is what they like about him and hired him to do.

So speaking out will not do much good but make us feel better.
