Now that the smoke is clearing…
Yesterday will go down as one of the dumbest days in American history. The President of the United States incited a domestic terrorist attack against the U.S. Capitol, got a number of people killed, and got himself suspended from every major social media platform in the process.
But now that the smoke is clearing, yesterday was also quietly a landmark day for American progress. Joe Biden and Kamala Harris were certified as the next President and Vice President of the United States. Raphael Warnock and Jon Ossoff were confirmed winners in the Georgia runoffs, giving the Democrats control of the Senate.
We’re also now probably looking at Senate Intelligence Committee Chair Mark Warner, Senate Oversight Committee Chair Gary Peters, Senate Judiciary Committee Chair Dick Durbin, Senate Budget Committee Chair Bernie Sanders, Senate Finance Committee Chair Ron Wyden. That’s right, the Republicans won’t be able to hold a single bogus House or Senate committee hearing for the next couple years.
This is everything we’ve spent the past four years fighting for – and now we’ve got it. The Biden-Harris administration will be able to move full steam ahead on all fronts and not only begin repairing the damage to the country, but carve out a truly beneficial American agenda.
We always knew that Donald Trump would go out ugly. We never knew precisely what it would look like, only that it would be odious in one way or another. It’s now crucial that we move forward with tools like the 25th Amendment and/or a fast track impeachment this week to try to push Trump out the door before January 20th. But one way or the other, he’ll be gone by that day.
Donald Trump’s life is over. Mitch McConnell’s relevance is over. We’re two weeks from not having to deal with either one of them politically going forward. The smoke is going to continue to clear, and it’s going to be a brand new day.
