Robert Reich: In the next two months, Senate Democrats can...

43. "...Biden could appoint another Democrat to the remaining vacancy, but he hasn't done so yet."

This is depressing. What reason is there that this hasn't been done already? How many other things have gone undone in addition to not jailing Trump and his minions for televised crimes? Is this even true?

I'd like for Joe to simply give a speech, a wrap up of his term. Explain what needs to be done, why he didn't do it already and name the names of the obstructors. For instance, tell the world that Bibi, with the support of Putin and Trump, holds the US and his own nation's population hostage, hampering their roles toward middle east peace and prosperity and driving a huge wedge in the American psyche. Caligula, along with Nero, has arisen from his tomb promising some new material and well-rehearsed replays of his classics, couldn't we, as loyal "life-time" subscribers, get a peak preview of the forthcoming specialties the 21st century coliseum has on tap?

If he walks off the stage without explaining the causes for the forthcoming horror show the nation would have a right to feel betrayed. At least tell it straight, remove the rose-colored glasses from our perception of the current state of affairs. If he's incapable of giving a speech, have some AI read his speech. It worked for Stephen Hawking and he had more profound truths to share than any politician.

This stew's growing stale, restating its repetition with only conjecture as witness. Like Lennon said, "just give me some truth."
