    Exactly how long that takes will depend on how the next couple elections go. Certainly nothing is improving while the Cheeto is in office.

      I appreciate the “s” on “elections”, but “couple” feels extremely optimistic to me.

        If Democrats take a majority in both houses and win the presidency they can roll back everything Trump has changed. It won’t undo the damage to foreign relations and US soft power, but at least it will stop the hemorrhaging. There’s going to be a deep hole to climb out of, but with Republicans out of the picture we can stop digging deeper.

          They are likely to get a majority, but a supermajority in Congress would be better.

          In addition, three-thirds of the states must be Democrats so they can add several amendments.

                Or maybe four thirds? Completely veto proof super majority.

    So this administration is incompetent, blaming their many failings on Biden. Or… this administration is incompetent, incapable from preventing that wily and tenacious Biden from sneaking back in and shuffling papers around overnight

      One of the later signs of dementia is a belief that one is in a younger age. Where older, stronger memory connections hang on after more recently formed ones have been lost.

    Gonna be even more fun when all the empty trucks leaving from the empty west-coast ports I’ve been reading about for the past few days become empty shelves over the next few weeks. The real pain hasn’t even started yet.

        It’s because the media is complicit. They enable the discourse to be so lopsided. Propaganda.

      Every Democrat since Nixon has inherited a TERRIBLE Republican economy, and has had to enter office with an immediate, emergency economic stumulus program. Biden not only had to fix the economy when he took office, he also had to launch a Covid vaccination program. Both were extremely successful, and the only problems with either one was solely because of Republican interference/ propaganda.
