Meet the Trump Appointees Who Are About To Ruin Your Life

[DFW]

1. My wife, the compassionate social worker, made a very atypical comment

She spent her whole professional life trying to help the disadvantaged, the downtrodden, those who just never seemed to get a break.

But this time, looking at the results of the American election, she said that in 2016, the ignorant had an excuse—they didn’t know what they were getting. This time, there were no excuses, no credible pleas of ignorance. She wished that every Trump voter who later came to suffer from the result of their vote did so long and in great misery. She said that she wished it this time because they bring misery down not only upon themselves, but upon the rest of the nation and to people in most nations beyond our borders. If there is prosperity, it will be limited to the few. If there is good health care, it will be inaccessible to far more people than just those who don’t have it now.

“You made your bed, now sleep in it” was never a line she would use. Until now.
