The sticky residue left by this vile man will be thick, toxic, expensive and treacherous. But it will not be any surprise--I imagine Biden's busy finding ways to clean it out now.

As if Biden didn't already have enough on his plate! Trump's behavior is criminal. I wonder who is helping him map these treacheries? Miller? Jared? Roger?
He is unsavory, yes, but not saying his name aloud or assigning him a fictional name does little to keep the focus on the person and what he's responsible for. I'm pretty stubborn about that. I believe in precision when identifying a threat. I don't call Trump anything other than Trump or Donald. I don't call coronavirus deniers anything but that. For a while early on I used the term rethuglicans but came to my senses and identified them as Republican Thugs. It is a precise identifier.
To restore true Authority to Amerca's leadersip a great deal more coherence between word, action and symbolism is required. The authority of the French regime was significantly undermined by declaring after the last war that the collaboraters, Petainist and other pre-war leading politicians were "responsible but not culpable" for the disaster that hit them in 1940 and for S years therafter. That authority, once lost is very hard to reconstruct. So far in France, it has been resurrected only briefly in the 60's and at no time since.
I am having a hard time being optimistic. I am thrilled with Biden/Harris but there are a lot of roadblocks that McTurtleneck has put down. He is nothing but a hired obstructionist.
Even if Biden can "clean it out", the effect of Trump will continue. He will be on the airwaves and rallying his fans. He has had a taste of the "wild" and he is not going to cease his bellowing. His family members will also be running for office and continuing their trash talk. Even with Biden/Harris in office, until Trump is gone from the public scene, his recklessness will continue.

Bannon.
Of course, but I don't like to repeat his name aloud.

Of course I say his name - it was a joke.
I completely agree, Daria.
My name for him is Fake 45 as we know how he got into office.
He also got there because not enough people cared for Clinton and didn't bother to look further.
But letтАЩs not forget Russia's involvement.
l just think of him as тАШthe grim reaperтАЩ
He who must not be named.
IтАЩll take Voldemort over Dumpster Fire any day of the week.
Stephen Colbert has taken to writing these names like the swear words they have become for many of us: T****, B****n, etc.
Bannon and Barr Nun
Barr.
Why pick one? Of course they're all working together. Termites in the governmental edifice. Busy, busy.ЁЯШв
Vladimir.
You're right. More energy expended on this than most of what they have attempted.
A whole crew of dark money Maybe even Dick Cheney? Lots oтАЩ nasty greedy selfish lying not fit for commands.
And letтАЩs not forget the insatiable Karl Rove!
I feel very Optimistic that Is Exactly what Biden/Harris has been working on.
THIS is going to be a New White House with New Heads!!!!
Hopefully pull the rug right out from under trump, and his cronies left behindЁЯдФЁЯШК

He will never be gone. PandoraтАЩs box has been opened.
Hopefully the courts in NY will shut them down, at least for awhile.
