    This is step one in a very long road.

    I hope all these newly elected democrats have the inclination to do the right thing, and the stamina to continue doing it long enough to actually have a positive impact.

      This is step one in a very long road.

      Probably more like a dance move in Thriller. Forward, backward; looks like forward but goes backward. High kick; looks like backward but goes forward.

      It took things to get that bad before they flipped. I don’t expect them to stay there, but I have blind optimism.

      Now let’s just hope there aren’t so many DINOs that we actually have a majority because i do NOT have blind optimism there.
