How much is going to come to light?

And Covid will get worse before it gets better.
Not enough vaccine and poor distribution methods.

So much work to be done.

.... after the last 4 years, that Joe would not be in for a tough time is being naive. He did not inherit the greatest of situations. I have the utmost confidence he can handle it though.

I hope people will understand that and not jump on him when all is not miraculously solved in a few weeks.

Trump ripped our safety measures in shreds. They will find no vaccine, already noted. There will be no stockpiles of PPE, Jared and friends sold it. Every life saving measure is gone. Biden will have to start from scratch. He can't correct an economy when thousands are dying every day. We are in for the long haul.

It won't be easy. We all know that. However we have two very competent people in charge and have appointed the best of the best to make this happen. What I don't want to see in a month or so people screaming he promised XYZ! He lied!!! He Sucks!!! Chill. This going to take time and so much hard work and as he said unity.

We can correct a lot of the damage, a kennedy. Together we can.

to try and make Biden's initiatives fail.

I hope he takes the iron fist in a velvet glove approach. Either that, or take out the hammer of the Gods and go to work on those traitorous weasels.
