What exactly is the chain of command in this country right now? It would seem to me that Republican hawks would have some concern about the fact that nobody really knows the answer to what should be a rather elementary question. Because the answer to that question in normal times should be easy. The answer should be, “The president is in charge.”

But at this particular moment, the answer is not at all easy. It’s not even clear that anyone knows the answer. Instead, people seem to be averting their eyes and hoping that circumstances do not insist that our government answer the question.

Here is a concerning fact: When Joe Biden is sworn in at noon this Wednesday, America will not have a permanent, Senate-confirmed secretary of Defense, or a secretary of State, or a DHS secretary, or a secretary of Health and Human Services. As things stand right now, the entire executive branch below the office of the president is set to be quasi-leaderless because the Republican party refused to move forward with confirmations in the normal manner. The only way out of this mess is for a “unanimous consent” resolution in the Senate on Inauguration Day. Fingers crossed.

1. It won't happen - traitors aren't going to change their stripes & care about America.

There are too many of the insurrectionist colluders there who are only there for personal money and power and who care nothing for the people.

Her first thought was that Trump failed to protect our country so spectacularly?
