gulp some fresh air, and not hold my breath as much. I got a feeling that Mr. Biden will be on the watch for all of us, so we don't have to be quite so hyper watchful like we have been with trump and his thuggish administration and cronies. If anything, nail them for breaking the law wherever you find it. We must reinforce the word of law and justice, and get rid of the profit takers that have taken over the reins of government to enrich their own pockets.
