I just hope the fighting and squabbling on the GOP side takes an extra long time, and ol’ Margie-baby and her understudy, Boebert, beat up on each other til nothing but wreckage remains. How long do you think they’ll drag this out? Through the first week? It’s hard to see everybody on that side of the aisle finding any discipline or professional behavior right away.

The more disarray they’re mired in, the less harm they can do to America, especially those in need.

Who have the nerve courage to join Democrats to get anything accomplished in the next 2 years? Not all are enamored of what Trump and his mob have done.

Do you think it is possible?

I have another question. Have you noticed how MSNBC has reverted back to showing President Biden and Trump in equal pictures as if Trump still has power? I have seen that twice this morning.
