It was a whirlwind and shocking weekend complete with more shocking executive orders with sweeping and immediate impact on people all around the globe. I am hearing stories from friends of friends whose family is trapped, stuck, in limbo.
Part of me thinks – these are the unintended consequences of an unhinged man who is just spouting off ideas but signing them in big fancy Executive Orders. This is the result of an utterly unqualified leader who is bolstered by his henchman cheering him on.
Another part of me thinks – these are ENTIRELY intended consequences by hateful people who are hell-bent on creating chaos to distract us while thy move quietly forward with other more dangerous initiatives in quiet corners we can’t see.
There are times I feel I am becoming alarmist and need to make a tin foil hat for myself and other times I am reminded of the early chapters in Night by Elie Wiesel where the Jews didn’t see the Nazi’s as a real threat despite active concentration camps popping up throughout Germany.
We now have alarm bells being run by . . .the KOCH BROTHERS. I cannot emphasize this enough. The Koch Brothers think this is crazy.
From the Koch Foundation
“We believe it is possible to keep Americans safe without excluding people who wish to come here to contribute and pursue a better life for their families,” said Brian Hooks, the president of the Charles Koch Foundation, who is co-chairing a weekend conference of donors who help finance the Koch operation.
The Koch brothers – the voices of reason right now.
I do feel like we are in deed through the looking glass. I’m not sure if it’s horrifying or good that we’re finding voices of reason in those we used to consider extreme.
I am also struggling with trying to make sense of it all. Is there a deeper plan at play? Have you seen this thread: https://mobile.twitter.com/leahmcelrath/status/825799384650698752

The focused attention on the judicial branch is scary. Delegitimizing – discrediting . . .Are we watching the the first steps of a closing of the judicial branch as an independent check in the process?
