(3,722 posts)67. So you think Joe is just sittin around twiddlin his thumbs? Reallly?!?!!
Joe may have things to do....like preparing for a general election and deciding/vetting who will be his veep and his cabinet. And quite honestly, OrangeAnus has NO ONE manning a million positions so Joe is going to have to jump in and hire nearly a whole damn government. That's a shit ton of work. And since it's just a clusterfuck, he'll need to do it pretty quickly too. Joe Biden will be held to a very different standard. So he is probably taking the time to get his ducks in a row.
If I were to vote in a presidential

Then he'll introduce some simple amendment, it'll get passed and he'll take credit for it all.
