If (when) Biden is in the White House, Congress must subpeona all the assholes

Trump won't let testify. And do it under threats of contempt and perjury prosecution.
We cannot simply turn a new page,
Instead we must turn over every rock.

4. Contempt has 2 meanings

Contempt in the sense that this is how these criminals treated legal processes and infrastructure, and contempt in the additional sense of being a prosecutable offense.

The former has been in abundance, and the latter non-existent.

The former will not change, but the latter will in January 2021.

5. I wonder...

Could this be why a former large-state attorney general - and a very efficient one at that - is his running mate? This administration requires more subpoenas than one Attorney General could possibly do in four years, and Kamala Harris would be a lot of help in that respect.

It would take a half a page just to list the things they've monkey-wrenched...electoral laws, tax codes, federal regulatory agencies, labor law, etc., etc., etc.

9. If we win the WH and both houses of Congress, first thing we must do is get rid of the filibuster,

make Washington DC a state, and Puerto Rico if they want, address healthcare immediately, get the pandemic under control, restore all the environmental protections, protect a women's right to choose through legislation on the basis of privacy between a person and their doctor, and a lot of other things, which include a stimulus, and job creations

There will be enough external people at the state levels to address trump and his co-conspirators, but unless we start dealing with the issues that this disgraceful administration and the republicans have put us into immediately, we will have failed
