Create an org that hires every FBI agent and DOJ atty fired and put them to work investigating the Trump WH and GOP Congress.

Have them file civil suits for every single fed, alien, disabled, & LGBTQ victimized. File contract protests on all companies building camps.

A sexually incontinent drunk is incredibly easy to blackmail. Russia, North Korea, Israel, Iran, China etc must all be delighted with this future Secretary of Defense! Any of them could find ways to manipulate him or to gain vital information. He is a walking, or perhaps stumbling, security risk.

Here's the actual, correct summary of Biden's domestic presidency:

He entered office with very narrow legislative margins, made worse by the fact that two of his key votes were deeply intransigent. Nonetheless he was able to consistently pass sweeping legislation.
