40. We got the approval-dampening stuff out of the way early

Sun Nov 28, 2021, 11:41 AM

Nov 2021

Biden got us out of Afghanistan and made two-out-of-three major package purposes (one to go). The inept/arrogant media reported every bump in the road like it was the end of the world, as expected I'm sure. By the time election season warms up, we will hopefully be coasting, the hard parts out of the way. At least that's what I'm hoping. Republicans running against us can be painted as Trump trogs, stirring up racial trouble, wanting everyone back in their old jobs (and shutting up about it), wishing we were back in Afghanistan, and dying to repeal rural Internet upgrades.
