Something's in the air re governing. People are weighing in on real plans.

There has been a tentativeness about out and out telling the current misadministration what to do, but today I’m seeing Joe and Kamala bluntly saying wear masks, and now Gen. Honoré saying use the military to help with the USPS. He’s always no nonsense, action oriented, and they all make Spanky look like the dithering fool he is.

I hope this continues. I’d like to see a slow roll of cabinet members who talk about what they will fix WHEN they are in office. It instills confidence. It looks like leadership at a time when we desperately need it!

It has been a looong time since we have seen leaders showing us what taking corrective action looks like.

We know none of them is good at this. Hard to attack when you’re having to defend every stupid decision.

That sounds suspicious, but it's just the party out of power constantly coming up with what they would do to handle issues. (Parliamentary-- the UK party out of power will have a whole "Shadow Cabinet".)

And then we'll know that they're already planning (as we know they are) and the contrast will be amazing between them and the Trump administration, whose only purpose now is "placating Trump."
