The mission to come

There is a great deal to be done now that Joe Biden and Kamala Harris will become our new administration in Washington. We must somehow attack the pandemic more aggressively and begin to restore some level of normalcy to our economy. Along the way we need to restore relations with the rest of the world, especially our long standing allies. That will be very difficult in the face what happened in the last four years and what remains of Trump’s supporters. Beyond those vital issues are hundreds of Trump executive actions that have weakened environmental concerns and given away land to business interests as well as grossly weakened our National health system. 

In the longer term, there is much to be done to repair our government. Trump has done things that we never expected a legitimate president to do. There is work to be done in the Constitution in order to protect us from something like this every happening again.
