I think politics is even worse and more toxic now then it was even when trump was president. I don’t understand how these people, congress in particular,can tolerate it. Speaking from work-experience, you gotta have either a really strong commitment, either that or just not care at all (just there for the paycheck) to survive in a poison cesspool like that, and not let it take your soul away.

Anyway, on the plus side, at least we know Biden can’t go to jail for his documents. At least not for 2 more years.
Barr and all the other trump sycophants have already established that for us, a president can’t be indicted. Unless that only applies to presidents named trump.
And it’s likely republicans will be too busy destroying the life of whoever runs for president after Biden, by then anyway.

That is the way epidemics work. You must stay in front.
Scaling up, Klain said, was now critical on all fronts. Scale up and be prepared. Buy everything the United States could need, or risk it not being available when it counts. The early shortages—of masks, protective equipment for health workers, ventilators—had certainly been a factor in the virulent spread of the airborne virus in the first months of the pandemic.
Biden absorbed Klain’s lessons and repeatedly instructed his team to go big. Biden flashed frustration whenever he heard about operational hiccups.
“How many doses of the vaccine might be needed?” Biden asked. “How many people need to be hired to give the shots in the arm?” He wanted to hear everything, he said.
“Look,” Biden said in one transition meeting, “don’t underestimate it. Overestimate it. If we wind up with too much vaccine, if we wind up with too”
