Government To Come

   If the announcements of key appointments to be made by the incoming president are any indication of what the nation will face in the coming years, there will be changes bordering on the spectacular.
   Or perhaps I should say "spectacle."
   Already, the series of appointments raises questions about the plan the soon-to-be president has for the nation at large rather than plans for his own family buddies.
   Someone has compiled a list of all the legal offences perpetrated by the nominees. It's too long to print here, but in any case they are a matter of public record.
   Some, of course, are on appeal or have not completed their journey through the legal system, but they are still a matter of public record.
   Perhaps the incoming president will  exercise his prerogative as chief legal officer and issue full pardons for all his buddies.
   Except for state offences. A national president has no authority over them, regardless of what he may assume.
   And we know what happens when you assume.
   Meanwhile, the question gains in importance: What kind of government will we have after January 20, 2025?
