Warning: This will be a rant. I usually try to avoid writing in this style, but I can not hold my tongue on this topic.
This article will be consumed in anger and disgust.
Donald Trump absolutely baffles me. His war cry promise to "drain the swamp" is now starting to seem like nothing more than a strategic move laid out by an evil genius. Not only is this cabinet set to be the richest cabinet of all of American history, but 'the swamp' seems to be getting dirtier and,even more so, out of touch than prior cabinets. Trump's picks range in various evils from openly anti-LBGQT, to blatant climate change deniers, and even creationists, just to name a few. His choices for cabinet positions are possibly even more terrifying than his intended policies. At least with his outrageous policy ideas Congress had the potential to stop anything too crazy, and it seemed as though Trump had been backing out of some of his campaign promises. However with the slew of morally corrupt, anti-intellectuals he is dragging to our highest positions, there is now a very real sense of danger. This colossal threat can, and most likely will, affect all areas of American life, as well as, the very Earth itself.
Maybe there is reason behind these atrocious choices. For the life of me, I have no idea what that may be...but I will cling to hope that maybe Trump is some sort of evil genius and he plans to fool us all once again by disallowing these cabinets from making any drastic changes. For example, one cabinet member wants to slash medicare and abolish Medicaid. Trump wouldn't really let that slide right?
All these damned Republicans,blissfully ignorant to having been duped by this man, all preach that we should give him a chance, see what he does, allow him to mess up first. What they don't seem to realize is that even if Trump screws up so bad that he's impeached, this cabinet will remain until the next election. These horrific men and women will have a very firm grip on our freedoms and our lives for a long time.
I am scared for myself and my son. We should all be scared. Trump never intended to drain the swamp. He intended to win, which he did. And now he can achieve an agenda that none of the general public knew about. This man and his cabinet picks are a disgrace, and an embarrassment to our country. If you have a God, I suggest you pray to it for the sake and decency of our country. We may not all make it out of this Presidency unscathed.

In the article written by Caitlin named Draining the Swamp... Caitlin talks about or rants about as she says in the article about the phrase that our president elect has often used, Draining the Swamp and she goes on to talk about the choices that Donald Trump has made for his cabinet and how they all seem to be rich and well to do. I will admit that I was surprised when Donald Trump started appointing all these random people for the perspective positions but I also think it is a bit hypocritical, let me explain had Hillary Clinton won then she would have appointed rich people as well sure they might have had other ideas and maybe even better stances for Caitlin, I say this as I notice she is a liberal possible Democrat. I am just very skeptical of the DNC and Hillary Clinton all together now after the DNC leak and just their overall shadiness that was going on.
Sure, Donald Trump is or might be perceived as a horrible human being but with him at least I know what I am dealing with. With Hillary Clinton you never really know what you are gonna get. She is not sincere. She plays to what the people want to hear. Ain't that odd the liberals the ones who want everything done ever so righteously were caught cheating and swaying the election towards Hillary? I mean come on I would have expected that from the Republican but you can't always believe what you hear.
Overall, I believe Caitlin's article was written well although we might not share the same believes I respect her.
I was looking into my classmates Blogs and the one that caches my attentions was the article published in The American Voice blog "Draining the Swamp" by Caitlin Caputo. I will start congratulating you for paying attention on the government and the people who are going to become our leaders. It is extremely important to pay attention on this since they are the ones who are going to impact our education, food choices, the climate reforms, economy, etc. The article in my opinion is incredible that after the election nobody sees to care about our country anymore, but some people like Caitlin are still trying to tell the people to keep fighting for our government to do the right thing. Now, as Caitlin states, "'the swamp' seems to be getting dirtier" and nobody seems to care about Trump's decisions and the crazy ideas that his cabinet are bringing in.
I share all of your opinions except for one, and I think that we should give him an opportunity since we don't have other option. There is always the impeachment to change the President. There will be a lot of changes that it will be impossible to change in a while like the Supreme Court Judge, the republican majority in congress, senate and indeed, the people in the cabinet. But we as a country and with no other options should came together and get united for the good of our country. We should support our president decisions and accepted.
Overall I loved your article for various reasons one of them is because you said things that everyone seems to have forgotten about. I like that you brought your own opinion and wasn't afraid of saying these things. Keep up and never be afraid of nothing. In Mexico we say this phase "when something is going to happen even if you try to avoid it will happen, and when something is not going to happen even if you try, it will no happen".
Merry Christmas to my family to yours!
happy holidays.
