Some Good News From Former San Francisco Mayor Willie Brown

Willie Brown

 Willie Brown writes in his weekly San Francisco Chronicle column: 

I hope Joe Biden is enjoying his victory over President Trump, because he is about to walk into a nightmare.

Biden has the White House, barring a legal Hail Mary from Trump. Kamala Harris will be vice president, and it seems Nancy Pelosi will still be House speaker. But that’s it.

There’s a good chance Republicans will have a narrow Senate majority, and that keeps Mitch McConnell in the driver’s seat. And believe me, he will hit the brakes on every piece of legislation that Biden and Pelosi try to move, just as he and the rest of the Republicans did during President Barack Obama’s second term.

McConnell is not the type of politician to compromise or seek peace. He wouldn’t even compromise with Donald Trump.

And he punishes people who go against him.

It will be gridlock.

Biden also faces a potential split among Democrats, with progressives eager to move on their agenda and moderates reading the election results as indicative of a much redder landscape than they expected.

It’s not a pretty picture.

Willie is correct, it is not a pretty picture, it is a downright beautiful picture (if Republicans can hold the two Georgia senate seats in the January runoffs).

Let the gridlock begin!

  1. I wrote the following to my state representatives and adjusted accordingly. Let every elected douchebag know that you are not happy about the way this election was handled.
    ============================================================
    I was happy to see Texas select President Trump again as leader of the free world without any obvious vote count issues in our state.
    Please strongly urge your national GOP associates and operatives to oppose the alleged results of this election without a proper investigation and court discovery.
    I believe Trump to be the legitimate winner of the presidency, and I will settle for nothing less.
    As an elected representative, it is your duty to uphold the laws of this country.
    Regards
