THE LIGHTER SIDE
HOLLYWOOD — God bless America, and how’s everybody?
President-elect and billionaire Donald Trump named billionaires as secretaries of commerce, education and treasury. Mitt Romney is worth a quarter-billion. That means if Mitt becomes secretary of state he’ll have to wear a beanie and take coffee and doughnuts to the Cabinet meetings.
President-elect Donald Trump last week named Amway heiress and billionaire Betsy DeVos to his Cabinet as head of the Department of Education. It’s true that education is more important than ever. Kids today need to learn that if you can’t sign your name, you’ll have to always pay cash.
Dallas prosecutors filed charges against a man for using Twitter to harass and intimidate and stalk anyone he doesn’t like and everyone who has criticized him. He’s says it’s just a character he plays, and that it’s not really him. If convicted, he could get four to eight years in the White House.
Green Party candidate Jill Stein instituted a presidential election recount in Wisconsin, insisting that the voting machines could have been hacked. The GOP is busted. Everyone knows older white voters in rural areas who took five years to learn how to post photos on Facebook know how to hack into a secure voting system and switch just enough votes for a plausible Trump win.
