And yes, this is important. Seems like there's breaking news about the abuses of the past 4+ years each and every day!

But he has left such an unprecedented mess and legacy of corruption that it'll probably take years to get to the bottom of it and to thoroughly clean house. I still remember back in 2008, seeing all the Democratic presidential hopefuls lined up on the stage and thinking "who would want the job now?! Little did we realize then what was to come and that nothing and no one in our history has left such damage in their wake. Not that I don't have confidence in Joe Biden. Between his decades of Senate experience, followed by eight years in the Executive Branch, he's certainly more prepared than anyone has been, but there is so much and it goes so deep - and too many of them are still there!

Not until every single traitor is locked up & fully prosecuted. Not something I foresee happening, sadly. And they know "justice" never comes for those in lofty positions, hence their behavior.

All the others seem to have attached themselves to one or both - and with them, especially the former guy, out of the way, I see some hope for change. I listened to this again tonight, ran across it in my travels - and it shows the effect that the former guy has had on so-called "moderates:"

a poor excuse for a human being, a criminal con man, a proven sexual predator, still escaping justice? How? Everyone with an ounce of sense knows his criminal enterprise leaped into the WH grifting and stealing from day one. and that grift went on all 4 years. And that during the 2020 election campaign this suckers family 'disappeared' many millions of dollars in inauguration funds that were not used because of his loss to President Biden.
