It's not that I expected much. But it honestly feels like his picks are made up of people who elbowed their way to the front of the line to suck his dick and sing his praises. Not one seems to have merited the position they are now going to hold.

It makes me so disillusioned with the government. I used to feel like public office was held by intelligent, impressive people. I may have disagreed with them, but they at least laid out arguements and had some semblance of a strategy.

I never thought I was anywhere near capable of holding a position like that. Now though, I genuinely feel like if I just shouted the "right" things loudly enough, I could be in the inner circles of our nations government. That prospect is fucking terrifying.
