I'm so with the tens of thousands of protesters who marched last night (although I wasn't actually with them). Senator Frankin was on last night, and, although he was subdued, he felt that there would be strong resistance in the Senate, especially regarding the ACA and environmental issues. More worrisome are the executive order actions, or reactions, that might occur, especially regarding immigration. We're in for lots of fights, but remember, too, Trump had no specifics, so he won't hit the ground running. He's surrounded by B-grade amateurs.

A well reasoned argument is like a diamond: impervious to corruption and crystal clear - and infinitely rarer.

Here, as elsewhere, people are outraged at what feels like a rigged game -- an economy that won't respond, a democracy that won't listen, and a financial sector that holds all the cards. - Robert Reich
