Dr. Richardson.

First, thank you for recognizing Roosevelt's BD and his ability to steer America out of one (of many) Republican economic debacles. The next one is likely to be the debt reckoning that has to come at some point given the feckless, irresponsible spending that America has undertaken since Reagan showed the way to irresponsible fiscal spending in 1980.

Second, I see it IS possible for the Feds to indict and charge a government official!!

It is possible, that is, IF THEY ARE BLACK. No surprise there.

We all await any sign of a hint that any of the white people, in government, who openly, blatantly, fragrantly, irresponsibly, with great hubris, that broke the law on Jan 06 will ever be indicted.

Mike, April 12 was the day FDR died (his birthday was in January, I believe).

I think you're spot on in the next challenge being debt reckoning.

I also think that if any white congresscritters are held to account for their roles in the sedition of 6 January it will be nothing short of a miracle. I suspect if the tables had been turned, and it was a BLM and/or Antifa assault on the Capitol, heads would already have rolled.
