I don’t know about you, but I’m beginning to feel like Bill Murray did in Groundhog Day. Each day is another bizarre day in government. The “here we go again” feeling is ever present. Even if you are a supporter of the President, you have to see that the constant chaos is too much. I know people wanted him to come in and stir things up, but creating chaos for the sake for chaos doesn’t seem to be beneficial.

The best news this week is that our leader will be spending the weekend on a mini-vacation in Florida. I hope he leaves that Executive Order writing pen in DC and gives us all a respite from the insanity. Scott Spicer, who in his own way has been a bit of comic relief, and Kellyanne Conway can take a break too. And this is just week 2. Will we survive four years of this? In a week where I agreed with McCain, Cheney and Graham, I’m feeling a bit shaky.

It’s hard to see what’s more important each day, thus my feeling we are playing a constant game of Whack a Mole – the Mole being the latest order or controversy. Maybe that’s the strategy – so much going on, that it creates a shield for the next nuttiness. By the time that’s seen, another mess has been created. It is exhausting. It’s embarrassing. On the plus side, we are seeing instances where our system works – the checks and balances that we count on, are working.

I admire the people that are on it – watching everything and keeping on top of it –  but I just can’t do it. I’ve been focusing on the Secretary of Education position because I believe wholeheartedly, that if we want America to remain the powerhouse that it is and has been, our kids need their education. Every child needs access to a decent education. We need someone in that department who is an educator who understands the challenges but brings new ideas. Someone qualified. It used to be you paid back your political allies with an ambassador position. Our President is offering cronies Cabinet positions and that’s dangerous. How can you really lead a department you either don’t know anything about, hate everything it stands for and/or have no tangible experience to run. It’s not to say these people don’t have skills or something to offer – just not in the positions they are now holding.

Today is shaping up to be another shit show. Early morning voting on Sec. of Education, more tweets from the President and Kellyanne rewriting history. If you love this country, keep fighting. We need every voice heard. And if you are a supporter of our current President – demand more  – more thoughtful actions, more actions with solid plans behind them and less focus on himself, sound bites and attacking the very system that put him in office.
