After Nov. fixing the shit they broke will be key, so I thought I would start a TODO list 2021

Re-establish positions and ranks for all whose careers were destroyed by the Trump Administration.

All federal level candidates must submit tax returns for at least the previous 10-years to get on the ballot. Prohibit anyone who has not fully complied with tax requirements to run for any office. If you fail pay your taxes or use your assets to avoid paying your rightful share of the tax burden you cannot represent taxpayers. Ditto for business records.

All federal level candidates to undergo full physical and mental evaluations by an independent advisory board made up of medical (actual) experts, with an impartial risk assessment score to determine if they are fit to hold office.

Impeachment of all unqualified judges, appointed in the last 4 years, to be replaced with actual professionals.

Expand the Supreme Court.

Conduct investigations and launch criminal proceedings against everyone who participated in, aided or abetted the unlawful conduct of the Trump Administration.

Confiscation of assets from all those who illegally profited from the Trump Administration.

All federal level lawmakers must divest all stocks and investments and family ‘blind trusts’ are prohibited.

One cannot employ any member of their family or extended family within their offices. Period. Never. Nope. Not. One.

Reform Electoral College.

Ensure voting is cost neutral for all citizens by expanding ballots by mail, by proxy and introducing a paid public holiday for in-person voting. Introduce fines at state level if any citizen has to queue for more than one hour to cast their vote.

Conduct an investigation into the criminally incompetent handling of the Covid-19 pandemic at a federal level and bring charges to bear for negligent manslaughter against all members of the previous administration who enabled Trump to dismiss the virus with such ease, leading to the unnecessary death of thousands of American citizens.


Of course this list is not exhaustive. Feel free to add to it! Joe is going to be busy, I say!!

And unicorns. It might be more of a wish lit than a todo list, but one can hope, right?

I'm sick and tired of elected officials being given a pass after they leave office for the crimes they have committed. No more of that "for the good of the country" crap.

Started with the "pardon" of Richard Nixon, flowed into the "Raygun" mess of Contra, and the ultimate - the Bush/Cheney war. Once they got away with the "small" stuff there was no stopping them!

As much as I love and respect Speaker Pelosi, this is "NOT off the table!"
