    It sucks being right about all this because going “I told you this would happen” during the worst crisis America has faced since the civil war just makes us look petty and a dick.

    I tried warning people about this. I wanted Trump in jail. I wanted Biden to push for large reforms to make people turn away from Trump’s lies about how he will personally fix the economy. I wanted the court packed into overturning every bad choice they made in the last 20 years.

    And I was called defeatist and pessimistic. “It takes time to arrest someone for a crime they committed.” “Bringing that issue up would be political suicide.”

    And now we’re stuck with Trump.

      Right? My short list for Biden was, handle the covid pandemic, prosecute Trump and his cronies, close down the inhumane border camps.

      He went 0/3 on it.
