I'm pretty happy tonite !

[CaseHardened]

First of all, the most prominent ANTI-KAVANAUGH Dems are all GONE ! And the single PRO-KAVANAUGH Dem remains.

Second, we have a solid majority of Senators now, and traitors Flake and McCain are history !

Third, Dem "Superstars" Beto and Gillum are dead.

Fourth, yes, the House is Dem. Since when was it on Trump's side anyways ? No loss.

Democrats won the House, but Trump won the election https://www.washingtonpost.com/blog...lection/?noredirect=on&utm_term=.68c27177e620

Sorry to burst your bubble. The positives you mentioned are all real. But the loss of the house will be a big deal. Multiple investigations at the minimum and impeachment proceedings against Kavanaugh and trump are real possibilities . This is not good.

They can investigate all they want. I say go for it.

As for impeachment... Yeah, go for that as well! The Senate will NEVER vote for it.

IMPEACH KAVANAUGH ?

I know Dems are stupid, but really.....

 

[CaseHardened]

NOW Trump can unleash the hounds.

Anything unpopular will be forgotten in 24 months.

And SCOTUS will back him up.

 

[tirwin1]

Don't underestimate the trouble the dems can make. They are motivated. Ignore them at your peril.

 

[CaseHardened]

It's time to dump Sessions, build the wall, and lock her up.

 

[masterswimmer]

The best part of keeping the Senate is the continued appointment of more right leaning justices and judges.

The worst part of losing the House is losing all the committee chairman positions. Lots of gridlock to follow.

Trump still has his veto power, so all is not lost.

The process is the punishment. Think about the effect continued investigations will have on the white house and trump's ability to get anything accomplished. The house is now ground zero for all attempts to derail trump's re-election. It doesn't matter if the country goes to hell. If they can raise enough suspicions to prevent trump's re-election in 2020 then their efforts will be deemed a success. I don't see how anyone can consider this good news.

 

[Marine Cpl]

Doesn't whatever festers in the house also has to be approved by the Senate?

 

[libertysnake]

Impeachment? I mean, there would need to be some sort of evidence here -- like semen on a dress from the intern that was blowing him. Something like that.

 

[subsonic]

I'm not broken up about the house; that was expected and a narrow D majority may not be an entirely bad thing. I don't think one-party rule throughout an entire president's term is healthy for democracy. Let them investigate. Better that than passing bad laws. The senate picture was good for Republicans as was key governors races although the democrats did better numerically there.

The real terrible news for New York is the democrats taking the state senate. It doesn't look like gun laws are at the top of the to-do list right now but god knows what they will cook up now.

 

[Duke]

We don't need new gun laws....Somebody s governor said we have the best law in the country.....

 

[Modean]

No doubt the Democrats will make lots of noise with their "investigations", but little will come of it all. What this has done is take the pressure completely off the GOP to get anything done, since they no longer control all 3 branches. The big positive for the long game is that with an increased Senate majority, the work of rebuilding the Federal Judiciary will continue.

Message of necessity.

The senate is the crown jewel and it remains. If we are lucky RBG retires asap and another justice gets confirmed by Trump.

And SIGNED by POTUS.

Nothing bad is going thru.

No way RBG ever retires. The only way she will go is if she dies and is carried out of there tits up in a body bag.

Please RBG..., just do it ASAP for the good of the country...

 

[Celt]

Sad results in NY. The radical left took control of the Senate. Wonder how long till we can expect some more gun control Ram down our throats... and Cuomo crushed Molinaro with sharp only getting 1.6%.

State-by-State Gun Laws are horseshit anyways.

We need FEDERAL involvement.

Yea I'll be honest at the state level it definitely feels like doom and gloom. We're screwed.

President can veto, Senate block, and Supreme Court won't put up with anything from the "peanut" gallery. The Republicans will be okay. Anti-Trumpers can cheer all they want but it takes a 2/3 Senate vote to remove a President from office. Sorry to all of the hippies and millennial hipsters.. They lost. Mad Maxine Watters can scream all day about impeachment, but it's a meaningless exercise

 

[Grimscale]

I don't think one-party rule throughout an entire president's term is healthy for democracy.

What does it matter? They didn't really do shit when they had all three branches, I expect they'll be happy to use this as an excuse for not doing shit now, and demanding more people vote red so they can. Then, if they win, they'll still not do shit.

I'm very disappointed in this whole process.

 

[SomeSoldier]

Back to the gridlock of getting nothing done and wasting our money doing it.

 

[SomeSoldier]

I have not really looked but do the Dems own both house and senate here in NY?

 

[NY Leatherneck]

She has tits?

 

[MadScientist]

I wouldn’t say I’m happy about the results, there’s some bright sides and not so bright sides.
Reality is congress usually flips against the party in the whitehouse, and and certainly looks like a weak flip overall
End of the day though we need another tea party like movement

 

[AnthonyC]

I'm pissed that Claudia Tenney lost (probably, she won't concede). I can't believe there are over 116,000 Democrat pukes in her district. Crap, there must bfreeloaders dirty, lazy, stupid freeloaders here!
Whew. Needed to rant a bit. OK, now I need to buy a new gun and I'll feel almost normal again.

 

[Mr. terzmo]

"The worst part of losing the House is losing all the committee chairman positions. Lots of gridlock to follow."

WTF did Ryan do when in control...zip !!! The house repubs tend to bend to the whim,(overall) to the dems. That's how obummer care and other s got passed. The senate will never allow a Kavanugh impeachment. It has never been tried and the dems still have 2020 on their backs

 

[Devildog9999]

The news cycle for the next 2 years will be what they are trying to do to impeach Trump. Nothing will get accomplished as the Dems refuse to actually work for the people. This will be more of resist, impeach, block, and banter for the remainder of the term.

 

[Drinkthekoolaid]

I would say we can forget ever having a chance at a wall.

I would also predict we are much more likely to have major funding Bill issues. I can see financial gridlock and using congressional purse strings to sabotage the country to make trump look bad even more likely. Wait until a budget comes up next and watch that shitstorm. I wouldn't be shocked to see us default on debt to try and prove a point.
