Trump Appointments Send an Ominous Signal

Ubi bene ibi patria
" What a long, strange week it’s been. The slow-motion nightmare of last Tuesday night as the election results came in is still as fresh as though it had happened moments ago. The effort each day to find some perspective, to find a way to live with the results, has been a struggle. And then, late Sunday, Donald Trump began announcing his team and it became clear yet again: This is not business as usual. This is not just another candidate. President-elect Trump is a profound threat to the United States of America.

There was a moment of hope when he made a gracious acceptance speech. Perhaps the campaign rhetoric was just politics — vicious, dangerous, and deeply cynical — but perhaps he would moderate once he turned his attention to governing. But the events of the week have dispelled what little hope those remarks evoked. When protests against Trump took place, he had another of his Twitter tantrums, lashing out at citizens expressing their right to free speech and freedom of assembly, ominously yet again going after the media. Despite hundreds of incidents of violence and hate-speech that have occurred since his election, there has not been a single effort on the part of the president-elect to denounce the attacks — presumably because he very well knew they came from his alt-right supporters.

What he did do, however, was announce that Steve Bannon — accused wife-beater, former Goldman Sachs banker, and one of the high priests of the alt-right movement as the CEO of Breitbart — would have a place of huge influence in his White House as his chief strategist. "

No he's not. He's a threat to the Lib's way of life, and that's a good thing.
