OK, I understand. Vice President Kamala Harris did not win the biggest contest in the U.S. elections. Donald Trump is the president-elect, and will take office on Jan. 20.

From now until that day, we will continue to live with the “chaos and fear” manipulations coming from various, primarily Republican, sources. The picks for Cabinet and other positions in government are laughable, but not funny. Some will be confirmed; a few will withdraw or not meet the cut.

I will be an ardent follower of the Trump administration’s day-to-day follies and the intended (or ignorant) policies and actions that will be forthcoming. If some of the nominees’ policies and statements are to take effect, once they take hold and impact the lives of the Make America Great Again (MAGA) crowd, the howls will be loud.

At that point, I will not say, “Told you so.” I will say, “I wish you had listened.”
