Here's a reprint of Tuesday's article by Robert Weissman at Common Dreams offering a quick review of Trump's Cabinet nominations and why they are so frightening. And why we must stand up to oppose their plan to bulldoze America's government into something only a greed blinded oligarch living within their locked-gate enclaves could love.
There's so much I'd like to write about and so little time, either for me or for this country I love. Thus, I'm forced take advantage of Common Dreams generous Creative Commons Attribution-Share Alike 3.0 License. Hopefully someone will find something useful or inspiring in it.

The Existential Threat of Trump’s Corporate Cabinet
The corporate interests who the President-elect properly alleged in the campaign buy politicians will now themselves be directly in charge of the government
We’re facing the prospect of a government literally of the Exxons, by the Goldman Sachses and for the Kochs.
President-Elect Donald Trump’s cabinet and top nominees draw more deeply from an extremist faction of the corporate class than any in memory, and likely in history. We are witnessing the wholesale corporate takeover of the American government.
Nothing more plainly shows Trump’s complete cynicism and dishonesty than his absolute betrayal of the core claim of his campaign – to rid Washington of corruption, cronyism and insider dealing. The corporate interests who he properly alleged in the campaign buy politicians will now themselves be directly in charge of the government.
With this cabinet, it is a virtual certainty that this administration will be the most corrupt and scandal prone in American history.
