The pardons are another petty, attention grabbing grift that are a distraction. Just more of the same from the last 4 years.

Now, the impeachment, I care about that.

So I’m watching for kash Patel and other pentagon officials who doubtless were part of the insurrection.

They’ll be made to squeal.

I ll be super pissed if Biden pardons Trump. The precedent of the Ford/Nixon let’s-move-on pardon is getting lots of play and an institutionalist like Biden must be tempted. So I’m worried and will be livid.

If that doesn’t happen, we should be able to deal with the threat of right wing extremism via DOJ and FBI. Bu the way, any news on who the new FBI director will be? We’ll need a total cleanse of all leadership positions in all matters of national security. A highly qualified black woman head of FBI would be a plus.

And Joe Biden is going to start undoing and reversing Trump's evil from day one. That's going to be what I focus on.

And I can't wait to see Kamala blossom into the next Prez!
