Be that as it may, Lauren, Joe and Kamala have been tasked with redeeming our flawed US.gov from the Stormtrumpers.

We had best get busy in assisting them in any way we can.

The sword of Damocles yet hangs above our fragile republic-- that theoretical .gov system which Mr. Franklin, during the inception, spoke admonition to an inquisitive fellow-citizen:

A Republic, if we can keep it.

Now is the time for all good men and women--this means you!-- to come to the aid of their country.

Like it or not, Lauren . . . read 'em and weep.

We've got our work clearly cut out for us.

Be encouraged, Lauren. Your beacon here is a favorable sign that we will, still yet, make it through this perilous passage of 2020.
