January 2025 is gonna be a helluva month

[Pototan]

Jan. 2 the Senate and House return to Wahington. The 3rd the House has to choose a Speaker. Well, this is going to be the first test. If Mike Johnson can't win on the first ballot we will have an interesting day, or days or perhaps weeks. No business can begin without a Speaker. They cannot even validate the 2024 Presidential election without a Speaker. I fully expect that about the 3rd or 4th ballot it will dawn on Trump and his allies that they better rubber stamp Johnson.

Then on Jan. 6th the ratification of the election will take place and then the fun begins. The Republican controlled Senate can begin hearings on cabinet designees even before the Jan. 20th inauguration. There should be some pretty contentions hearings, to say the least.

Then Jan 20th itself. Wow. Trump has promised to end the war in Gaza and Ukraine within 24 hours. Deportations are supposed start. He promised to declare an emergency on day 1. And, oh ya, 25% Tariffs on Mexico, Canada and the EU. 60% on China. And let's not forget his promise to be a dictator on that day

God Bless America. We're going to need it.
