Ending the nightmare must begin with our best GOTV for all elections, and monitoring for Russian/Republican interfere in election results.

Guess how it works?

I'm going to take Scott Pruitt's resignation as a victory, one of the very few we've had. Rain all over it if that's what motivates you, but I see things differently.

Pruitt attracted a lot of well deserved bad publicity to the Trump administration's swamp.

...just how much corruption and 'swampiness' there is in the Trump Administration. It results in a day or two of negative media coverage, which is a positive.

But, yeah, Wheeler (provided he avoids scandals) will possibly be more effective at deregulating and destroying the natural environment at the behest of moneyed interests.

I haven't felt altogether well since last November's election, a condition I'm pretty sure is shared by all Americans with a functioning brain and heart.

is that Trump nominees can be influenced and pushed to make career decisions, at least in part, by public opinion.

This is a good thing, jumping ship is seldom done alone.

It’s hilarious to read conservative idiots tweet and pontificate that dismantling everything Obama did takes anything more than a completely unprincipled piece of offal.
