It goes without saying that the world is in a bit of an uproar. The...entire...WORLD. Angela Merkel, Chancellor of Germany even offered her remarks about the situation. Let's not think about the irony of Germany lecturing the U.S. about leaders and have the (albeit only recently acquired) standing to do so.
Today's blog post is going to be short. We are going to make a promise or rather an assertion? Who knows. In any event, we are going to give a timeline. It is well accepted that a president's most effective time is the first 100 days of presidency. We are going to give him an entire year.
First, let's escape some trappings before we begin. We are not journalists. We are concerned citizens with, for the time being, protection of the First Amendment. Consider this entire blog editorial.

He will have the presidency, both houses of congress, and the Supreme Court so what has happened is there is NOTHING stopping him from doing what he wants and by that same token, he can't blame others when it doesn't happen.
Third, and this is key. The clock starts NOW! or rather for us, two days ago. We are still reeling from the results of the election, but things are already starting to come in. Chris Christie, as of this writing is on hold as part of his transition team because he is facing legal troubles of his own. Trump himself is due in court in two weeks over allegations of his own. We will see how that turns out. A lot of people are saying that he should not be held accountable until he is sworn in and that, is false. The world is reacting to the news that he will take the seat. Things are taking shape now. There are long lists of things I could say are happening, but I do not have the time and frankly after the last few days, we are exhausted.
Things are going to change in the next 363 days possibly sooner. We wanted to start talking about it now. We wanted to begin processing. The sooner the better because a year from now, we'll have wished we had started today.
