Now Joe Scar On MSNBC Is Talking About The Constitution And A System Of Checks And Balances.....

and that Biden is going to have to negotiate his way through a likely Repug Senate and that it's not going to be a cakewalk for Joe.

I guess the crap that Trump and the Repugs pulled over the last four years - just didn't count and will be swept under the rug.

Biden hasn't even taken office yet and the rules will be different for Biden and the Dems.

The Repugs will still make up their rules as they go along.

Watch how fast - the deficit is going to be a problem again; the unemployment numbers are going to be a problem; the Covid numbers will be a problem; etc, etc, etc.

By March it’ll be:

“Isn’t it time for Biden to own this pandemic?”
And:
“Isn’t this really Biden’s economy now?”

It’s always the Democrats fault for not cleaning up republican messes fast enough. And never republicans fault for making the messes in the first place.

That is how stupid they are.

I am now watching CNN - I can't take Scarborough weekday mornings and can't take him now.

CNN showed a wonderful picture of Kamala Harris and her husband hugging at the news!

Ah - here:
So proud of you. ❤️❤️🇺🇸🇺🇸 pic.twitter.com/Orb1ISe0dU— Doug Emhoff (@DouglasEmhoff) November 7, 2020

Unless I post a photo to my personal blog, I can't post it here. And I only post my own pictures on my blog.

Well, frankly I don't mind them reminding everyone of the principles of democracy. That's an important part of having rejected fascism.

Not an hour has gone by since the election was called by the media and Scarborough is prattling on about how "Bill Clinton, togeteher with a Republican Congress" did all these wonderful things.

Bullshit! President Clinton balanced the budget and set us up with the strongest economy ever IN SPITE OF the Republicans. His first budget passed without a single Republican vote.

Not to mention, McConnell has already said he won't confirm a single Biden court appointee, and Republicans are even talking about refusing to confirm anyone for his cabinet.

Ain't it funny? When a Republican wins--no matter how narrow the margin--it's "a mandate" for them to go hard right. When a Democrat wins by a landslide it's a call for "bipartisanship."

Hopefully President Biden and Vice President Harris will see through this media fog to do the work that now--because of Republican cowardice, incompetence, and duplicity--has left the country less healthy, less prosperous, and more divided than at any time since the Great Depression.
