And furthermore, correct me if I'm wrong, if an impeachment is successful he can't serve in government again... I believe thats what needs to happen for Trump. I think we made a mistake voting in [lol] a non-politician extremist - and now that we got the result of that, we must follow thru.

And, government should still handle the needs of the citizens beyond impeachment. One doesn't cancel out or stop the other.

I think we still have a long way to go with covid. People don't understand that these vaccines.. are more like a flu vaccine in the fact that you'd need to get them once a year [or so] and they would have to be tweaked for future versions of Corona. This vaccination process isn't a one-and-done type of thing. Coronavirus is respiratory, more like the flu than polio.

We have a long way to go with vaccinations, too. Plenty of work for congress and the Biden team when they take office. Hurry up already....
