5. Don't bother looking on that for what congress, blocked by

Republican control of the senate, did NOT do.

On the plus side, I was mildly encouraged to hear ex-CIA Director John Brennan actually mention that congress needed to take action to stop the Republicans from sacking even pandemic mitigation efforts.

“I just wish that Congress, in a bipartisan fashion, and also the DOJ, which I am very concerned about in terms of the political cancer that is seeping in the highest levels there, this needs to be addressed in the most forthright, honest way possible.”

Okay. At least that congress is supposed to do something, even without mentioning McConnell's corruption in making sure it doesn't, is more than anyone else mentions.

Of course, only the blatancy of the crony corruption of the cabal controlling the Republican Party is at all new. On reading a summary of the accelerating corruption and subversion of the Republican Party, 1992 was given as a date when it greatly accelerated, but without specific explanation. Readers of that journal were apparently supposed to know what was happening then -- beyond the shocking election of Democrats to the presidency and majorities in both houses of congress. The Republicans got control of both houses in 1994, and they returned to what they had come to do every time they were given/take the power to do it. But accelerating.
