    Well then, yeah, Iā€™d say itā€™d earn them a little grace, and I appreciate you actually talking about it instead of going down the ā€œuR uH rUsSiAn TrOlL111one!ā€ path. I still think itā€™s convenient timing, but itā€™s nice to see this was at least set into motion awhile back.

      Yeah, an argument could be made that 2022 was a Senate election year, and this was fueled by that, but at that point weā€™re invalidating 2/4 years a president has to make changes.

      On top of this, I wouldnā€™t be surprised by the first year being slow as they get situated, meaning year 3 is the only year that ā€œsincereā€ change can be expected to be made, which is kind ofā€¦harsh. Iā€™d hate for my accomplishments to only count 25% of the time.

      I also really appreciate the discourse - I hope you have a great day.

        Now that I think about it, didnā€™t Biden come into a locked GOP senate? I suppose it could be possible they were making it difficult as well maybe? Anyhow yeah, same. Thanks for the engaging conversation choom.
