... but I have a hard time believing that DeJoy will change his spots, so to speak. A concession regarding EVs, the introduction of which is a long way down the road under the best of circumstances, does little more than afford DeJoy more time to continue his depredations. Hardly a fair trade.

I've circumnavigated the Sun a tad over 76 times, and I've spent a great deal of that time watching, very closely, the Machiavellian machinations of Republicans. I can say with certainty that THEY ARE NOT TO BE TRUSTED under any circumstances.

Ole Joe's got 5 years on me, and has worked cheek by jowl with those on the Dark Side of the Aisle for decades, so I would expect that his reservations and suspicions about them would exceed even my jaded expectations of their treachery.

Whatever. I still have presents to wrap.

Have a wonderful Christmas, WhiskeyGrinder, my friend!
