What Will Tomorrow Bring?

The endless hostile campaigning is over.
The combative debates are over.
The election is over.
The inauguration is over.
What will tomorrow bring?


Most of the people I know held their breath and wondered what tomorrow would bring?  It wouldn't take long before we found out. Executive Orders flying out of the White House with speed of lightening.  Everyday brought something new and concerning. Alienating Mexico regarding building of "The Wall".  Then on Friday, the most distressing so far. A ban on immigrants from several countries effectively immediately. Some people were in airports waiting to board planes for the United States, some people were in mid-air on their way already, some had landed and were being detained and held for hours. But another day has passed and we know that it is only the beginning. Citizens have flocked to the streets, parks and airports demonstrating in opposition to policies and appointments. Attorneys have given pro bono help to immigrants who have been detained. Senators and Representatives joined demonstrators in protesting this Executive Order. People are being fired leaving holes in important agencies. Protests keep happening. George Orwell's 1984 is the most requested book on Amazon and in fact has sold out; library copies area all checked out. 

Why are some Congressmen afraid to speak out if they think it is wrong? Aren't they supposed to represent us, "We the People"? Confirmation hearings are continuing tomorrow, but it's difficult to halt a speeding out of control train. There seems to be so much chaos that my head is spinning trying to keep up and stay informed. This is just my opinion and I am not an expert by any sense of the word, but I am a voter.
