60. I'm concerned but not afraid

Oct 2020

There is so much cleanup to be done already. Joe has been preparing to take this on. He is surrounding himself with competent people who he will delegate tasks to. There are people like Mayor Pete who are ready to go and have experience modeling problems and finding solutions.

All executive orders can be cancelled. Federal civil servants can be reinstated with their seniority intact. These things rest in the hands of the executive branch.

And Kamala. She will be able to get justice back into shape and take on the big strategies that Joe entrusts her with. And anything else because she is amazing.

Trump? He will try to wreck the country more, of course. He hates America. He has skewed the judiciary branch, but Joe has a strategy for dealing with that, too. Remember how DADT took a year to be consigned to the dustbin of history? That was deliberate and was a process so getting rid of it would endure; and it has. I see the judicial commission as taking a similar role with expanding the courts.

But come January, Trump will be gone. His awful cabinet will be gone. His stench will remain for sometime, but he will be neutered and done.
