These might be the good old days. Go outside, feel the grass, say wassup to your neighbors,... whatever you do that means community, because sh*t might get bad for a while.

The best part will be if he wins, those in power will just sit around with their thumbs up their butts waiting for fascism to take over on Jan. 20th.

EDIT: It's thumbs up their butts time for 2 and a half months.

Can't the president do anything he wants right now???? 🧐

No, only what the SCOTUS allows him to. Democrats aren't allowed to do anything.

Well, he probably could initiate anything he wanted on the grounds that they said that any official act is immune. He could probably get away with quite a bit before they managed to get together and stop him saying it wasn't an official act.

Yes, and they get to decide what an "official" act is. But it's moot. Biden doesn't have the stones to do what it takes to save the US from fascism. Not even close.
