@GeorgeTakei
For four years, I have been a proud member of the Resistance.

With today's announcement of Biden's national security team, honoring the hard and honest work of career civil servants who reflect the diversity of America, I am proud to join the Restoration.

Restoration is not instantaneous, but takes hard work and dedication. Resistance is the process that leads to Restoration, and now the road to recovery begins.

It is a car that did not need to be so beat up, rundown, and neglected. The opponents do so much damage and waste so much from careers, the environment, and things like the stupid pointless recounts. It is obvious they do not believe in conserving but exploiting and in Trumps case vengefully destroying.
