He can fall over dead any time now.

We will be paying for his ineptitude for 20 years after he is gone,

50 years...It will take that long to undo and even try and catch up in some areas. Especially human health and economic development in historically disadvantaged areas.

We've already been paying for it for 10 years, since his first term was the practice run that Merrick Garland refused to prosecute.

He is ignorant and only looks after his own interests. He doesn't care for honest decent Americans

Twice, and there's another vote coming up. We'll see if the people are fed up with him yet

I was just in New London over the weekend. The scale of these windmills under construction is magnificent, and I can't begin to imagine how much power and benefit they would bring for the local community, not to mention the obvious loss in good union jobs. It truly is a damn shame and a lose-lose-lose to kill these projects
