And The Winner is…

1. Republicans seized the majority and then pounced on the Democrats

   1. And the Democrats NEED pouncing. Big time.

   2. note the word “seized”. This was deliberately chosen to create a feeling in the reader that something nefarious, or even illegal, was done.

2. The Repugs are gonna F this up. It’s their MO. The uniparty rules.

   1. Democrats have the Senate.
      Which means they can appoint all the federal judges they want for the next two years.

      I believe they call that flooding the swamp.
      But hey… put in Trump to re-fight the 2020 election for the third time. I’m sure it will work out better the this time.

      1. Too many rinos voting with the dems to say congress is now republican.

   2. They’re going to do Biden’s biddin’ because they are the Washington Generals.

3. Who won the SDA contest? Can we call this within 2 weeks – or are votes still in need of counting? Last I looked, I was -1, but folks who get their comments banned (for totally unknown reasons) might be completely disqualified.

4. Good news but should not have been a surprise. Wow, what a system. Too bad we don’t have a way to check the Liberals…and NDP.

   1. Or the Chinese rigging our elections.

5. Losers? Election deniers.

   1. The real losers are people who don’t understand that votes found in a briefcase at three AM are most likely fraudulent.

      1. Please be more specific.

   2. “Losers? Election deniers.”

      Okay…but which of these documented “election deniers” are you referring to, specifically?:

      Barack Obama. Jimmy Carter. Bill Clinton. Joe Biden. Hillary Clinton. Kamala Harris. Bernie Sanders. Jesse Jackson. Nancy Pelosi. Ted Kennedy. Harry Reid. Dianne Feinstein. Sherrod Brown. Dick Durbin. Debbie Stabenow. Cory Booker. John Lewis. Jerry Nadler. Debbie Wasserman Schultz. Alcee Hastings. Lacy Clay. Marcia Fudge. Ted Lieu. Maxine Waters. Jamie Raskin. Raúl Grijalva. Sheila Jackson Lee. Terry McAuliffe. Howard Dean. Stacey Abrams.

6. Republican leadership: “What’s a veto?”

   1. Precisely, we have been here before, has everybody forgotten Paul Ryan?

      Kevin McCarthy is just another RINO in his mould.

      Lets take bets now-the Repubs will wave through the next multi-trillion dollar continuing resolution and congratulate themselves. McCarthy will praise Schumer for his bi-partisanship.

7. Is this where we see the brick wall at the back of the theater…

8. I believe Plural Allan was recently telling us all that the Dems were poised to win.
   Seems like he’s a loser denier.

   1. Here’s what I actually said

      I’m going to call it right now, one of the closest elections in history.

      Senate Democrats with 50-51
      House Republicans with 218-219”

      Looks to be spot on. Rs may end up with 220.

9. effectively giving the party a veto on President Biden’s agenda for the next two years.

   Which the turncoat Rino scum will not use.

   1. The super duper Maga republicans will.

   2. Correct. there will be no change.

10. Time to impeach and run a bunch of committes to investigate and harass Dems. Lets start with Pelosi and insider trading…

    1. Sorry to disappoint you, Pappy, but insider trading by Congress or Senate is not illegal; it is specifically allowed. She certainly is a “person of interest” though, and needs investigating.

11. “And the winner is….”

    Mostly wrong. The Republicans massively underperformed, struggling to eke out a win in the House, failing to take the Senate and losing a number of key gubernatorial races. It’s worth noting that those most closely aligned with Trump mostly lost out during the election. Whereas Ron DeSantis won hugely in his election bid. This should put an end to delusions that Trump is a viable contestant for POTUS in 2024. It should also be clear to everyone that the civil war within the Republican Party is far from over.
