Yeah as it's both important and good for the soul to see the election deniers get hit between the eyes by the voters they're trying so fiercely to bamboozle. What makes it sweeter though when these candidates go down for the count is that those among their supporters who are in on the Big Lie Scam go down with 'em. And Trump of course takes yet another boot to his fat arse.

Still though control of the chamber is always number one. As long as the PutinTrumpRowers in Congress remain in the minority they are severed from the power centers that include, as you mentioned, chairperson positions, the speakership and other effective leadership positions. A freshman member of the House or Senate in the majority has more influence and effect than a 20 year veteran of either who's in the minority.

You did a good job describing my train of thought and I concluded that I'll hope* they're toothless at the point of a veto pen, and the Senate will keep them from trying a trick play to spend defense Dept money to build a wall or something nuts like that.
But yes! I'm concerned about GOP conduct in the house and I don't vote for them because I can't trust them.

* my logical conclusion is to hope, I know it's a contradiction but I get by
day to day pretty well like that .

Sinema has an election in 2 years. She's going to start pretending to be more to the left now to try and save her ass IMO.

Well, if that's what it took - I'll take it.

I hate to lose the House investigatory & legislative initiatives. But, Judges! At this point, they might be more critical.

I wonder how a $5 contribution can make 3400% more impact, Republican inflation?

So proud of Nevada and Arizona for coming through. Let's hope we in Georgia can do the same in a few weeks and give the Dems a cushion in the Senate!

Harry Reid lives on in Nevada.

John McCain lives on in Arizona.

Max Cleland lives on in Georgia.

Americans across America.

I dunno.......I get a lot of these types of "impact" pleas from the GOP, but 3400% is the highest I can recall.
They will probably have to step up their game to "1,000,000% MORE IMPACT"
Too funny.

Booo hooo. Your red wave was just a little red tinkle, like the one Trump does in his depends every day.

Your side lost, and it will only get worse, because maga is dead.

God I hope so. Populist radicalism with fascist tendencies are notoriously hard to stamp out.

Another one would nullify Sinema. But alas, not to be.

You're right, I suspect Manchin bargains in good faith but Sinema is self absorbed. So I bet Manchin will agree sooner. You and @CaughtInThe were saying this for a week or more? Before the election? Dems need one of the two to at least get 50+1.

All eyes on Georgia...

wait for it

crickets

Willful death by covid denial, and Gen Z not taking the bullshit of banning abortion killed the republicans. And it won't get any better. They had their day.
 
One of the things that the pundits keep pointing out is that gets lost in the Senate hoopla a bit, is that positions like Secretary of States are being won by non-election deniers, which is a very important thing.

Democrats might still hold the house, long odds notwithstanding.

Dems pulled an upset in Wa-03

There are 13 uncalled seats in Cali.
Looking at the map Dems have a good chance of taking 9.
Alaska's CD should go to the Dem.
So that brings the Dem total to 214.
If Boebert loses....please gawd.....we would be at 215.....so maybe....

This may be the last election where R's will run on election denialism, it didn't work this time, bad news for trump.

Unless Republicans grow both a brain and a spine, rise up en masse, and tell Trump to go **** himself he isn't going anywhere.

That said, he's going to have to be very careful doing his usual schtick of gradeschool nicknames and childish attacks against DeSantis.

I thought the race was already called in Boebert's favor. No?

I have no idea what you're trying to say. What do you think I lost? You think I'm on Trump's side?

you're on the losing side. do you think trump lost? did the gop lose? the least liked candidates in american history with a 15% group of support control the house and the senate - with manchin and sinema - and scotus. the polls were literally fake. rcp is an arm if the rnc. you were lied to and you lost
