  judges judges judges!
context: They can't even pick a leader, nothing is getting through the house.
  2 years squandered at a pivotal point in history, because voters in a few of swing districts preferred freaks like George Santos and Lauren Boebert to a functioning government >
  
  To be fair the Santos they voted for isnt the one they got.  Boebert though....yeah >
  
  No--the Santos they voted for was exactly the one they got. The fact that they couldn't see what was obvious is not an excuse. >
  
  It was only the Democrats and a newspaper in Oyster Bay that were saying "Hey guys, there is shit about this George Santos that is not adding up." The local tv news affiliates either dropped the ball or actively assisted in keeping the story buried because none of them covered it. >
  
  The next 2 years will be rough. Activate the young voters! >
  
  if the student loan forgiveness program falls through, which certainly seems possible...do you think it'll still be possible to animate young voters? i wonder how adept dem leaders are going to be at channeling young people's energy at republicans to say "hey it's THEIR fault you cant get your student loans forgiven". seems like a harder case to make than the abortion one which they did a decent job of gauging by the turnout at midterms >
  
  I’m more concerned with uneducated voters since they probably have a lower level of critical thinking skills and are more susceptible to propaganda. 
  Younger people also want better job prospects, stronger efforts to reduce global warming and oil dependency, abortion rights, younger people in office, etc. >
  
  This is just the sort of framing I hate.
  The focus is on Biden's challenges instead of the Republicans' obstructionism. >
  
  time to legalize pot >
  
  huh? How in the hell would that even happen given they control the House? I guess you mean by some EO that would change the schedule definition of marijuana? That wouldn't really 'legalize' it to the point of actually being able to buy pot in retail stores. An EO alone wouldn't move the needle very far. >
  
  Think it’s going to be low fruit picking so he’d better have a lot of small -  but significant to many - items on his To Do list. We don’t have time to try to be friends with thugs, liars & thieves. >
  
  Relish in the fact that we have just a few hours left in peace until these unhinged, vengeful, pathetic, petty, grifters take the house, who’s only plan is to spend taxpayer dollars on political shit theater. Benghazi 2-Geriatric Screwallo, if you will, where the motto is fuck you so I can keep mine. Thank Hildawg we have each other to vent and laugh as we try keep semi sane navigating the next few years of the delusional Olympics. Fuck the GQP and their orange horseman of the apocalypse. >
  
  It's faced an uphill climb since the beginning thanks to the Senate, and yet he's managed to be incredibly successful still. I'm sure he'll continue to do well with his vast experience dealing with Congress.
