Stop Chasing Squirrels

Among the things I believe are bad ideas are spending the next 314* days assigning blame, calling one another names, and anything else that reeks of early adolescent behavior. I generally agree that our 45th American President is a tragic mistake from which it may take generations to recover, but we can't afford to spend a lot of time in recriminations. There's too much work to be done, much of which is time-sensitive. My only issue with first-term Senator Kamala Harris is that she's been running for President ever since she got to Washington. She wasn't elected to run for President. The U.S. only has about 4.4% of the world's human population, and we cannot imagine that the other 95% are going to wait long for us.

There is no excuse for not putting the House of Representatives in order and on the path to a positive agenda. If it can't be passed through the Senate, that's on them. If #45 won't sign it, that's on him. There are always reasons why something might fail, but to not even attempt to do your job until you're sure to win is just lame. We have the rest of our lives to talk shit about #45. Get to work!
