General Discussion

"Hand it over" isn't really the right term to use.

If we'd had bold leadership in the Justice Department, the buffoon wouldn't have been eligible to run again, with an "insurrectionist" tag on his name. For two years we had a Congressional majority in the White House and we made some great accomplishments, But we couldn't get a solid, evidence-based house investigation through the justice department to a trial, because of a leadership failure. Not looking for someone to blame, but that's when Garland should have been told either get it done or someone else will come for your job who will. We missed that chance.

And yeah, there would have been inherent risks in busting the filibuster and packing the court. But we would not now be looking at a corrupt, bought and paid for immunity ruling and god only knows what else is coming out of their bribed brains. That's a bridge we could have also crossed with legislation, preventing a turnabout.

But we need leaders who are open to considering everything and who are not bound by the traditional protocols of restrictions the GOP no longer cares about and which makes us ineffective, weak, pearl clutchers.

AOC is high on my list. So is Ruben Gallego. J. D. Pritzker. Gavin Newsome. And Kamala Harris and Tim Walz. Wes Moore.
