Putting Wolves In the Hen House

ALBERT EINSTEIN ONCE SAID that the sight of men marching in uniform, rank and file was enough to make him question their intelligence. At one point he advocated that all men of military age refuse military service, and he once suggested that the world would be better off if it had only one army, under the control of the United Nations. Not much of a military man, Einstein. A genius, to be sure, but not much of a military man. Not the sort of man you'd want to have as your Secretary of Defense, you'd have to agree. Einstein was so highly regard universally that when the nation of Israel was organized in 1948, Einstein was asked to be its first president, believe it or not. Einstein was amazed at the offer, and thought it was humorous. He politely declined, pointing out that his training was in theoretical physics, not political leadership. You always want people in leadership positions who know and like their job. Trump's choices to head the Department of Energy and the Environmental Protection Agency are the equivalent of putting Einstein in charge of the military. Disastrous. Trump should be impeached for trying to undermine, weaken, and destroy entire parts of the United States government. Its his job to protect the nation and to govern it properly, not to render it incapable of governing. Trump could also very well face impeachment for violating the emoluments clause of the constitution, according to the ethics lawyers for Bush and Obama. If Trump thinks the American presidency is a part time job, and that he can retain his business empire, he'd better think again. He'd also better reconsider the reality of climate change, because the American people accept that reality, and want something done about it, other than destroying the Environmental Protection Agency.
