I had an angry dream last night, and woke up shaking.
So it’s January 2021, and our hero has become President. We held the house, but couldn’t flip the Senate. Moscow Mitch vows to obstruct everything the “Obama Clone” tries to accomplish. What the rethugs didn’t plan on is that Uncle Joe has been watching the grifters for 4 years, and he has learned a thing or two about nasty, and he is pissed.
Joe now has an attorney general and an FBI, and an IRS that can be used against individual rethugs. None of the senate rethugs could stand up to careful investigation of their financial past. I guarantee that most of them could be taken down with just the threat of a careful audit of their detailed tax and income history.
Horrors! You say. Using federal government agencies to target political enemies? But that’s totally unethical and against the American principles of equal protection under the law, etc. That’s so much worse than anything drumpf did! Yeah, right.
Uncle Joe will begin to have one-on-one conversations with senators (and annoying congresspersons too — looking at you Nunes’ cow) to the effect of “resign immediately or you will be turned upside down with all your dirty laundry revealed. And you will be prosecuted with the full resources of the US Justice Department on your back. Go quietly and I may decide to spare you.” As the number of rethug senators drops to well below a majority, the Dems can assure that efforts to repair our country as put forth by the congress get passed immediately.
This came to me in an angry dream last night, so I’m sure the plan can be improved with coffee and a little discussion. And I actually think it’s a little extreme myself. But the underlying thought is that drumpf and the rethugs have been walking all over American norms and principles of governing for years now and getting away with it because it’s been proven that nobody can bring down a president who sees no limits to his power.
What you sow, you shall also reap, rethugs. Imagine a Democrat with the same power and ruthlessness as your most recent mobster. Now who’s a snowflake?
