Joe's Swan Song What will he do before the election?

Joe is still at the controls and can legislate to his hearts desire without having to worry about getting re-elected.

What will it be? The SCOTUS redux?
Kill Citizens United?
The electoral college?
(I know he won’t …. just dreaming)

Well on the one hand, I don't think that Joe's the type of person to just sign an executive order as a final f*** you to all of them.

On the other hand, it sure would be a nice legacy if he could sign an executive order to do something amazing... what would it be?

I mean he can't do a nationwide wage increase can he? Or can he make universal health Care an executive order? I mean can he go big?

He should break his own promise and pardon Hunter. He owes nothing to anyone and has nothing to lose, and it would be a great middle finger to all those who made F**k Joe Biden their motto for the past four years.

My gut feeling is this is the real reason he withdrew, but it is going to be one of these things that will not be disclosed to the public.
