If, by chance, McConnell decides to work a little with Biden, not one of these reforms will be instituted because Trump will continue to dominate R politics (by claiming to want to run in 2024, which he probably will not finally do) and these steps are direct affronts to him. <br /><br />None of this will happen unless Senate flips.Jim Leffhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00007232702717055047noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4640470443420164863.post-70076854003969744232020-11-25T08:37:59.636-05:002020-11-25T08:37:59.636-05:00Yup: Restraint, and reform.

Subpoenas to testify need to work eventually. Clean up real estate finance. Reduce frivolous lawsuits. And most importantly, prevent Team Putin (or the next attacker) from putting 100 million political posts on Facebook and Twitter. These things can be done. I agree it is not necessary to lock him up, and that it would extend the pain and conflict of this period, and provoke his fans. econtermsnoreply@blogger.com
