Nov 2018

Talk of bipartisanship is all well and good, but is she going to "keep her powder dry" in anticipation of the Republicans being nice and cooperative? (Ha!)

Or is she going to come out of the gate putting the fear of God and accountability into them?

Or, is she going to actively work -against- Dems that want to start investigations, subpoenas, and committee hearings?

But, let's give her a chance...

However, I swear, if I hear -anyone- in charge saying "we have to move forward, not look backward"...
