Leaving the White House in a total mess
Thursday, December 17, 2020
I have never seen James Carville, a Democrat and political pundit, go speechless.
But the other night when he was on one of the late night talk shows he was asked what he thought about the things happening at the White House and in Congress these days. He sat there quietly for a minute or two and then he said, “I just don’t know, I just can’t figure it out.”
And I suppose that is how many of us feel these days.
When Texas filed a lawsuit to get the votes of 4 states thrown out, South Dakota’s Governor Kristi Noem was right there to support this stupidity. Senator Mike Rounds (R-South Dakota) and Congressional Rep. Dusty Johnson (R-South Dakota) were right there with Noem while Senator John Thune (R-South Dakota) finally had the courage to state the obvious: Joe Biden is President-Elect.
