I'm glad to see that, in a radical change for the Democratic Party, we're not desperately trying to be whatever the Media wants us to be so they'll finally like us.

After gumming up the works for four years, too, they will scream that the Biden administration "did nothing."

Biden is just continuing to vacuum around them when they won't pick up their feet.... He's not letting them gum up yet.
