Every time an election rolls around, it is the beginning of the end for some and the end of the beginning for others. This is where we are now.
After completing his thank you for electing me into office tour, his focus turns to energy cuts. Sending out a survey to Department of State employees inquiring how much they contribute annually to international environmental organizations helps the process along. The government can pay its bills one of two ways, raising taxes or eliminating programs that currently absorb tax dollars. The man’s a skeptic of clean energy. He has his best interests at heart.
The presumptuous businessman denies there is any such thing as global warming. He claims the idea of global warming is a money making hoax. Don’t tell him about warm temperatures in the Arctic or about states within our nation experiencing freezing temperatures. That news is for the birds, or as he says, “Bullshit.”
When it comes to appointing the members of his cabinet, he appoints those that best follow his ideas and agenda, just as any previous commander in chief has. He appoints an attorney general well known for rejecting the idea of global warming as head of the E.P.A. Once a critic, now possibly an administrator, guess we can expect some changes. Fossil fuels bring back jobs, which hold priority over protecting the environment.
The president elect says China created the hoax of global warming. Saving money is his reasoning for returning to fossil fuels. He will not consider the effect of a decrease in green energy, or how China could come to monopolize the manufacturing industry of green products if we move away from clean energy as a nation. His immediate choices not only affect our lives today, but the lives of our children’s children decades from now.
The highfaluting attorney general he’s chosen doesn’t buy into the idea action taken by the human race contributes to global warming. Science can only prove so much, and in this man’s mind it doesn’t prove climate change. This man believes the American people want less regulation and intends to bring just that to the EPA. Before he was appointed head of the EPA, he believed the agency exceeded its limitations in protecting the environment. We are past due an overhaul for the Clean Air Act and may quickly learn how water and air can be polluted with special interests.
Six senators from the environmental panel sent a letter to the president-elects choice to head the EPA, requesting he disclose his ties to the energy sector prior to his confirmation hearing. They also request that he disclose how these ties will affect his ability to run the EPA, specifically companies whose initiatives he’s supported or clients he’s represented against the EPA in the past.
He is just one of the nominees whose personal beliefs differ from the primary focus of the agency he is running. The appointee to the Department of Housing and Urban Development would like to steer clear of fair housing initiatives. The appointee of education secretary isn’t big on public schooling and pushes private school vouchers.
Before the President Elect takes office he has a charity to dissolve in order to avoid any conflict of interest. First though, an investigation must be completed on whether or not funds were diverted from the charity to the campaign trail. The state of New York will have the final say as to the foundation closing. Concerns developed when a charitable donation was made to group supporting an individual who had previously solicited funds, and had grounds for a lawsuit. They never sued the president-elect and swear the donation has nothing to do with that decision. He paid his $2500 fine for the laws violated in regards to political contributions from charity funding. Donations may go to charity, but conflict of interest also ensues when donors win their spot in the administration.
He can’t stop defending his charity, claiming 100% of the funding went to charity, even if he’s being investigated for claims of the contrary. Since when can’t one spend a quarter of a million dollars from their charitable foundation to settle various legal disputes? Even if he can’t dissolve his foundation without permission from the state, he must stop soliciting, as it’s been discovered they are not registered for fundraising.
To get the most complete picture of how much money was donated, we would need to get a look at his tax returns. That’s something the president elect refuses to release for the time being. With good reason, he’d like to allow an IRS audit to first run its course. Each president that takes office has that one official document that they like to keep people guessing about.
While the president-elect has submitted his cabinet choices, many require senate approval. Concerns revolve around his choice for Health Secretary due his appointee’s disregard for woman’s health and preventive health services. This man vows to abolish the act established by the previous administration.
His pick for treasury secretary is a former Goldman Sachs banker, successful hedge fund manager, and Hollywood producer. The one thing this nominee shares in common with other president-elect cabinet picks is a lack of political background. He may not be a dirty politician yet, but we just need to know if he’s crooked like a Goldman Sachs executive.
He’s appointed an attorney general who opposes civil rights and equality. The last time this intolerant had a confirmation hearing, it didn’t work out due to some of his previous racist remarks. We are in a time where race killings happen often, and while we can’t get body camera’s on police quickly enough, our president-elect has chosen a racist bigot to head our Department of Justice. As his nominee jokes lightly about the Ku Klux Klan, we’re starting to see what the president-elect’s visual is of a great America.
If congress allows the nominee to take office, the nation may find themselves regressing decades in civil rights. He leads the fight against gay rights and immigration. He believes immigrants absorb the nations money, while committing crime and taking jobs from the American people. He gives the impression that he is completely unfamiliar with the idea that he lives in a nation developed by immigration.
The intolerant went from an all-white high school to an all-white college. About 20 years after the voting act of 1965 opened the polls to African-Americans, he referred to the act as “intrusive.” He opposed a bill that allowed federal hate crime protection to victims of such crimes, as he deems federal involvement unnecessary. He opposed the reauthorization of the Violence Against Women Act.
More than a thousand law professors have signed a letter asking the senate to reject the president elect’s appointee for Attorney General. They just don’t believe a man against equality for all could fairly enforce the nations laws. Those most likely to benefit from this man’s nomination are the white male population, as long as they are not elderly, handicap, or gay.
It’s unusual for very many of the president-elects appointees to be declined, but there is more controversy surrounding these appointees than those of the past. The senate will likely have some lengthy hearings on each one prior to confirming them. The senate may be unable to outright block the president elect’s nominees, but they can stall the process. If they cause enough problems he may withdraw his nomination and choose another to fill the position.
The president-elects nominee for secretary of state confirms his interest in strengthening ties with Russia. The appointee developed a friendship with the Russian president in 2013 and is closer to the Russian president than any other he could have picked. An oil tycoon who has negotiated many deals with Russia in years past, and made some powerful friends between the Russian President and his administration. These friends are currently impacted by US economic sanctions.
The president-elect picked a woman to head the Small Business Administration. She has the look of someone with rough past. Years of steroid use and bad personal decisions will do that to a person. The woman does have a head for business, as she grew a company of 13 to more than 800. She previously ran for senate, but didn’t get the votes. After contributing more than 6 million to the president elects “super PAC” she’s gained his approval to head the Small Business Administration.
A doctor with no experience in government, housing policy, or heading a bureaucracy has been appointed head of HUD. This man believes poverty is a choice and people don’t benefit best from public assistance. The doctor is against the idea of integration, doesn’t like the idea of allowing affordable housing in nicer neighborhoods. He brings with him to the table a strong opposition to using government programs to end poverty.
Before the new administration takes office the Republican committee voted to cripple the Independent Ethics Office. With so many changes fixing to take place, republicans attempted to take away the authority of the investigative agency placing the power back in the hands of the government. Upon doing so, they were criticized by the president elect for making this weakening a priority. At a last minute meeting after obtaining too much criticism, the action was reversed.
It’s not unusual for political donors to gain a place in the president’s cabinet as a reward for their donation. During the election, a sixty-six year old executive donated more than 300,000 to the president elect’s campaign. Once a donor, now an appointee to lead of the Department of Labor, he can have some impact now on laws that benefit the employee more than they do the business. He’s a fan of robots, but still believes you’ll need the human touch to help them run smoothly.
The appointee for CIA director will have his work cut out for him as the up and coming commander in chief has already indicated that daily intelligence briefings are a waste of his time. A nomination to a job that is dismissed by the man who nominates him could mean he’ll never be taken seriously.
The chief strategist is another appointee many deem racist. He can bait someone in for a story or be instantly hated just for his headlines. The anti-semitic, anti-immigrant media executive is set to have a world of power and already credits himself for the populist nationalist movement. He credits his intolerant buddy who received the attorney general nomination for laying the groundwork. One racist needs the senate’s approval, but this one needs no approval as he’s been given an advisory role. He’s a scary individual to be giving advice to the commander in chief.
Our current commander in chief took steps to stop special interest influence by prohibiting lobbyist from working on issues or in agencies that they lobbied for. He prohibited his cabinet from accepting gifts from lobbyist and disallowed government officials to make the move from office to private sector positions that could allow influence over government. He required more than a large donation to appoint a cabinet member. He wanted qualified, experienced men and women to hold those positions.
The next man on deck has made clear he’s going to clean up this corruption. And he’s going to do so with a cabinet full of wealthy insiders and extremists. In other words, special interests do have their place in politics.
************
Not far into the foreseeable future, the 70-year old executive dismisses an intelligence report that leads to his death. Thousands of mourners line the streets to observe the funeral procession. Washington takes a day off in observance.
He promised change and followed through on his promise. His cabinet remains in tact. The America we knew is gone. We are now set back in the 1960’s, when people were less equal and fossil fuels were one of our greatest commodities. We have matched China, but only in air quality.
