概要
 SHOW NOTES: As expected the Democrats have swept both Houses of Congress. President Trump, of course, retains veto power, which can be overridden by Congress, but not easily. Predictions about major issues that will follow in the next two years: Impeachment: This will be attempted perhaps several times. (Impeachment is not guilt, it is a charge that one is found guilty or innocent of, but guilt requires a two-thirds vote in favor, highly unlikely.) Investigations: There will be mass investigations into Trump family financial dealings and abuses of power. Immigration: Although the borders are secure, ICE may well be reorganized or even disbanded, given the fear and danger in the streets. Federal spending and tax policy, especially reducing the debt but also redistributing income to mend "the safety nets." Debt may well be transferred from the Federal government to individuals through confiscatory taxes. Iran and the military will be addressed, with the President's ability to wage war curtailed without Congressional approval. If there were to be a vacancy on the Supreme Court, any Trump nomination will be stalled until after the 2028 elections and the opportunity to choose perhaps a Democratic favorite. Finally, there will be jockeying for the 2028 elections by both parties, with no dearth of people believing they have a chance to be President. The question remaining is: Who will improve our poor educational system, and modernize the decaying infrastructure, and remove both the mentally ill and guns from the streets, and provide quality health care that is available and affordable? How much effort will go toward internecine strife and solidifying those in power with no term limits, instead of improving the lives of constituents?
