A dose of reality for everyone. All else is secondary. Must make serious cuts in government and bring back investment to the US. GDP has to be significantly stronger to fix this. Green New Deals, pork and other crap, an unaccountable, unelected bureaucracy with departments that can’t find what they did with $2.5 trillion has put us in this place. It only took about 50 years.

I don't think the new administration should obsess with political enemies. With that said, if they know of overt law breaking instances in the past, send investigators in to do their jobs. I get the feeling the people Trump is nominating are less concerned with optics.

If we take the word “exempt” literally, most are certainly false.
The Obamacare one is false.
Congress was exempt from the Biden vaccine mandates.
Over and over again rate of returns on portfolios/individual stocks continue to be peculiar, whether that’s direct or an immediate relative. Even the best traders do not come close to some of these gains and the uncanny knack for when to trade. By law, not exempt. In action Martha Stewart gets prosecuted.
FOIA expressly excludes Congress from the definition of agency (5 U.S.C. §551(1)(A)).
The FISA warrantless spying one is weird. They don’t have term limits.
Literally the one about the Founding Fathers rolling over in their graves is false. They are just skeletons at this juncture.

This is sort of a water is wet thing. I hope the new admin doesn't get distracted by looking back except where absolutely necessary. The focus should be on the future, and to the extent possible, pursuing reform that would say never-again to the myriad real problems in Washington.

Corruption is a real problem that hurts the country far beyond the bank accounts of politicians. It causes them to consider decisions which might be in their interest and not ours. That's not the deal people ever want or expect when they vote for someone.

Decades from now, I believe history books will name Biden as this country's most corrupt president.
