lulz100% right on, I was not thinking of it in today's terms. There is too much going on for any holes anymore, when I wrote this, the world didn't fall apart yet, I was really hoping Trump would get lucky and the first domino wouldn't have fallen prior to Biden being sworn in.
I was thinking that Biden might be able to have 4 easy years (relatively speaking, world calamity wise) and handed off the reigns last year. He can still hand it off in 4 years, but there is no screwing around with this 4 years either. I think it is worth the risk of the Democratic control of the Senate for a couple months since I think the governor of that state dislikes Trump.
I heard about this earlier, I haven't read it yet though: https://www.vox.com/2020/5/26/21257648/joe-biden-climate-economy-tax-plans
It goes into Biden having a lot of plans too, sounded interesting to skim.
I really liked the idea of Demmings too. I think Biden could pull off having someone like Romney as Secretary of State maybe (knowing nothing outside of him being spot on about Russia in 2012 and someone Republicans could appreciate as a gesture), assuming he doesn't have any xenophobic tendencies. I don't know, now that I am thinking about it, someone like Omar might be an interesting pick. Maybe not Omar, but someone that has real insight into being multicultural.
All one needs to do is mutter the name "Ilhan Omar" and teeth clench around the room. She draws the ire of white people like Muhammad Ali did in his heyday. I don't know much about her except the bad press she's gotten. She's a warrior and a champion but that doesn't seem to matter or perhaps is part of the reason why she's so disliked. Anyway, she needs seasoning and demonstrate that she can work well with others to get key legislation that is important to her constituents passed into law. I'm glad she's in the House and look forward to seeing her grow.
