Here are some qualifications for the new administration.

First is the agility to bow slowly from the waist, while wearing a silly grin and nodding one’s head vigorously to every inane suggestion.

Second, knowledge or expertise is not required, just absolute loyalty to the chosen one.

Third, the ability to disregard all learned ethics and common decency to be replaced by greed and the worshiping of the oligarchs who surround the throne.

I’m hopeful that our governing folks realize wrapping themselves in money will not keep them safe and warm. It is people who will be there when the money is stripped away without warning.
