But if you aren't happy with the current state of things, you can't say that!
It was certainly cause for celebration, but I still think the general mood was "at least Biden will get to make cabinet and judicial appointments" rather than "Dems will definitely get every part of their agenda through the 50-50 Senate." Posters here were pretty clear-eyed from the start about Manchin being the power broker and what that meant for this Congress. And again, that was immediately followed by the insurrection. My impression of this thread has been one of persistent negativity, even with some of the worst offenders on ignore. I don't find it appropriate to use some hopeful posts after winning a major election as an excuse for pessimism 6 months later. If the pessimism is warranted then its justification should be rational. If it's not warranted then it need not be justified.
The issue stems from the fact that they have checks with his signature on them and 2 sets of books...
Referring to this one or was there another?

Yeah that's it. Mostly a defacing it seems.Referring to this one or was there another?
A string of top accounts on the new pro-Trump app GETTR were hacked and defaced on its July 4 launch day, and the person claiming to be the hacker says the site still has several security bugs
Marjorie Taylor Greene, Mike Pompeo, and Newsmax all had their pages hacked, as did the app's founder Jason Miller.
Yeah still funny, and supposedly very easy. Hoping for another :p
Yeah, first 4th in a while I can breath a sigh of relief. We voted out the orange maniac, we are heading towards the end of covid, and things seem generally improving. Still a lot of work to do but... optimism is running high in my house.
Generally I am still a cynic, in particular about how this seems like a small breath of air before all the air runs out, but for the most part I am happy simply because it's as you said, Democrats have power so certainly less damage will be done and we are also nearly past the pandemic.
Yep, there are currently two types of Trump maniacs, either they doubled/tripled down on the MAGA stupid shit like we see in that post of the big fans room. Or the sullen ones silently raging how their dear leader lost it all and keeps doubling down on conspiracy theories, making them look even stupider.

Visitors can get close to White House North Lawn again after barricades removed
Extended fencing and barricades were put in place at the White House following protests that took place outside Lafayette Square last summer.
WASHINGTON — U.S. Secret Service has removed fencing and barricades that blocked people from being able to walk all the way up to the North Lawn fence in front of the White House."The portion of Pennsylvania Avenue and the White House sidewalk between 15th and 17th Streets NW has been reopened to foot and bicycle traffic," said U.S. Secret Service in a statement on Sunday. Later this summer, a National Park Service paving project will require Pennsylvania Avenue and adjacent areas be closed.Fencing barriers were seen going up as early as June of 2020 after protests ensued in response to George Floyd's death. Last year, police forcibly removed peaceful protesters from the Lafayette Square area using rubber bullets, smoke bombs and pepper balls before former President Donald Trump took a photo in front of St. John's Episcopal Church.A report from the Interior Department's inspector general later found federal police officers violently cleared protestors so a contractor could install fencing, not to let Trump hold a photo opportunity at a nearby church.
I think it could be as easy as requiring states to mail each voter a paper voter ID card. (Sans photo.)
I visited DC Sept 2019 and you could only stand across the street from the Whitehouse.
So strange. Was it permanent at that point or temporary because of a threat? I wonder why they made the changes?

Idk, just assumed it was a Trump thing because he's a coward.
