    Well then, yeah, I’d say it’d earn them a little grace, and I appreciate you actually talking about it instead of going down the “uR uH rUsSiAn TrOlL111one!” path. I still think it’s convenient timing, but it’s nice to see this was at least set into motion awhile back.

      Yeah, an argument could be made that 2022 was a Senate election year, and this was fueled by that, but at that point we’re invalidating 2/4 years a president has to make changes.

      On top of this, I wouldn’t be surprised by the first year being slow as they get situated, meaning year 3 is the only year that “sincere” change can be expected to be made, which is kind of…harsh. I’d hate for my accomplishments to only count 25% of the time.

      I also really appreciate the discourse - I hope you have a great day.

        Now that I think about it, didn’t Biden come into a locked GOP senate? I suppose it could be possible they were making it difficult as well maybe? Anyhow yeah, same. Thanks for the engaging conversation choom.
