Best way for Pres Biden to unite the country: kick the Rs to the curb for at least two years

So much damage has been done to our nation! It will take a Herculean effort just to get us back to the Square One of Obama leaving office. The temptation will be to ask the Rs to participate, in an effort at bipartisan “healing.”

Folks, that ain’t gonna happen. Rs are going to have the exact same meeting when Biden takes office that they had when Obama took office, and that is the meeting where they agree from Day One to obstruct everything Biden and the D Congress propose.

Our nation cannot afford that. Our democracy is already teetering on extinction. Bold, decisive action needs to be taken on multiple fronts. It’s going to be painful and expensive.

The best thing Biden can do is lay out his agenda and invite the Rs to get on board 100%. If they can’t do that, then fuck ‘em. Let ‘em whine. Kick ‘em to the curb and move forward with the D Congress and the majority of the American people behind you.

And while Biden is laying out his agenda, Congress needs to start the investigations into all the corruption that took place under tRump. Guess what? They’ll snag a good % of what ever is left of the R leadership in any such investigation. Consider it a bonus.

Bad times require bold and brilliant responses. We can do this.
