Cleaning up the mess that exists will take more than two months.

Quite a few years will be needed. It's always far easier, faster, and cheaper to destroy than create, repair, or rebuild.

Then you better hope the Democrats that now control everything can get the ball rolling uphill.

I still don't know what their agenda is and how they plan to go about doing anything.

Hope, yes. Expectations of success, not much. I rarely do have much optimism of success much more than nothing too terrible happening

4 years ago I had a few hopes of success; got a big bucket of squadouche for that foolish foray into optimism

I bought the drain the swamp also. Then he hired and fired draining his own swamp.

"And what has she accomplished for the American people. "

In case you missed it, the Republicans held the House, Senate and Presidency for two of the last four years, and the Senate and Presidency for the other two. Not much the Minority Leader of the House, or even the Speaker can accomplish under those circumstances if you've read the Constitution . You might as well ask what Donald Duck has accomplished for the American people since Mitch McConnell has sworn to prevent the Democrats from doing anything, including nominating Supreme Court justices when that was their legal right. Now that slimy, political hack is going to have to enjoy being largely powerless. Hope he hates every minute of it. It's deserved. Karma is a bit_h.

Mitch McConnell has sworn to prevent the Democrats from doing anything, including nominating Supreme Court justices when that was their legal right.

The power to appoint Supreme Court justices belongs exclusively to the President of the United States.

[Neil]

The right of approval or rejection is the Senate’s. McConnell refused to allow consideration of the President’s nominee. Flipping hypocrite and sleaze ball.

Why all the hostility? You have the whole ball of wax now. Biden wouldn’t deny in earlier interviews that he wouldn’t stack the Supreme Court with liberal justices.

[Neil]

McConnell supported Trump’s flagrantly false claims about the election, so he is indirectly responsible for the craziness that now possesses 25% of the population and the violent assault on the Capitol, etc. His irresponsible behavior throughout the last six years have cost our democracy dearly. It is not about winning, it’s about the social contract to play by the rule of law and work to better our nation.

No one is going to pack the court. That would be an act of desperation that is not called for in anything short of a true emergency. Anyway Thomas and Alito aren’t going to live forever.

Indeed if Thomas’s wife is indicted I would not be surprised if he resigns.

Ok Neil, so 25% of these people just went along with McConnell and he’s responsible for creating these mind numb robots that can’t think for themselves? I love how Trump completely possesses the minds of the left. The left is more terrified in the last 2 weeks of his administration than they were in the first 2 weeks. I love it! Than there’s the 75 million of us that just won’t go away. I’m hoping for a Trump rally on Inauguration Day

Merrick Garland is now going to be the the next attorney general. He is quite the environmentalist. Especially air pollution. Maybe he will be able to force Los Angeles & NYC to clean up their air pollution from the use of fossil fuels

Interesting read.

Add a couple of masks and some camo and you have a new Antifa slogan

[Neil]

The antifa as an organized, effective political force is only in the imagination of Tucker Carlson, etc. Just a small number of anarchists and lunatics, by and large, similar to the nutjobs and traitors who invaded the Capitol, apparently with the connivance of some of police officers who should have been defending the Congress. I think it's clear that a small number of the police were not only not going to enforce the law, but actively supported the nutjobs who thought invading the Congress and threatening to hang Mike Pence and shoot Nancy Pelosi and Chuck Schumer was a reasonable idea. Any rational citizen would want to see these lunatics prosecuted to the full extent of the law, just as looters and rioters from the left should be prosecuted. And the officers who failed to do their duty should be looking for employment opportunities in the housekeeping industry, to quote Dr. Venkman from Ghostbusters .

Let's not go insulting the housekeeping folks -- they were some of the best where I worked; good and helpful people.

The walking corpse inauguration he is going to try to promote unity. Good luck, you steal the election and then want unity, kiss my rear and 74 million of us.
