President Joe Biden named Donald Trump as the “primary threat” to “freedom and democracy” in the United States.

      Well… I’m not sure I’d want the President to control the legislature, regardless of who the incumbent is. Checks and balances and such…

        You need me to write a check to cover the balance, Mr. President?

        Sure, but change my original meaning to reflect influence and it’s still troubling and accurate

          Fair enough. There’s definitely good reason to not want that either though. To characterize Trump’s control over the party as troubling would be the understatement of the century.

          The fact that Biden doesn’t wield the same influence is a good thing IMHO. It does present challenges in that some legislation has a more difficult time getting through since the left is slightly less unified than the right, it means that the left is less bereft of sycophants who simply do what they’re told. They are more likely to use their brains and represent their constituents better.
