The wheels of change in government bureaucracy are slooooww. With the damage done to the judicial system his first go around, is it too late to start making these changes? I would like to think not, but with those clowns on the bench giving us all the middle finger right now give me pause.

Only when attempting to make progress. Regression is fast. Trump repealed 112 climate regulations last term, undoing Obama administration and even some Bush administration progress. He can, has, and will undo any progress that would otherwise put people or planet over profits.

That's the thing. We think 2 steps forward 1 step back is making progress, but the steps forward are tiny, and the steps back are huge.
