A commentator on Morning Joe this morning said that many allied diplomats believe that America is on a psychotic break with Donald Trump in charge. I think that too given that Trump and his Secretary of State are at complete odds. Trump is continually undermining the State Department with nepotism diplomacy, thrusting his daughter and son-in-law into roles that are inappropriate and for which they are without qualifications.
The State Department is gutted. No Professional worth their salt wants to work in this regime. Tillerson's slashing the budget makes diplomats vulnerable to security risks. A weakened State Department shifts more burden to the Department of Defense, skewing policy toward militarism.
Trump and his Congressional patsies are hell-bent to give tax breaks to corporations and wealthy persons whether they need it or not. That will add Two trillion dollars to the debt while threatening the middle class and poor.
This authoritarian regime is out of control and dangerous, ignoring We the People.
"Congress returns to nightmare December
Lawmakers are bracing for chaos in December as they plunge into several high-stakes legislative fights.
Both chambers are expected to be in session for roughly 15 days before leaving town until January, but the looming battles could push their exit date closer to Christmas.
Republicans want to get a key agenda item, tax reform, to President Trump’s desk by the end of the year.
That would be a daunting task even under the best of circumstances — but Republicans are also facing a Dec. 8 deadline to avoid a government shutdown, with fights over immigration and healthcare also crowding onto the agenda."
