What The Republicans Will Do If They Win

[ Posted Wednesday, October 19th, 2022 – 14:40 UTC ]

Republicans have always had a good chance of winning at least one house of Congress in the upcoming midterms. As things stand, it looks a lot more likely that they'll take control of the House, but they could also win the Senate. So what would they do if they did win control of either one or both houses? Probably not a whole lot, in terms of substantive legislative goals, since Joe Biden will still be sitting in the White House (with a veto pen at the ready). But Republicans aren't really campaigning on substantive legislative issues much anymore, because they have followed the lead of their base and are much more interested in style over substance. What we can definitely expect from a Republican Congress is spleen-venting, and lots of it.

We'll just assume, for the purposes of this article, that we'll have a GOP House next year. Whether there will be a GOP Senate will matter, but perhaps not by a whole lot -- at least, legislatively.

There is one important thing that will depend on who wins the Senate, though. If Democrats retain control, then Biden appointees (to his administration, ambassadors, and to the federal judiciary) will continue to be approved. If Mitch McConnell takes control, all of that could come to a grinding halt. Mitch may just decide that in this political atmosphere there simply is no price to be paid for obstructing all Biden appointees -- he certainly got away with it when he did so for a Supreme Court nominee under President Obama. This will make an enormous difference over the next two years (indeed over the next few decades) in the tilt of the federal judiciary. When the Senate rules changed to allow judicial picks simple-majority votes, the pace of appointees accelerated. Donald Trump named a record number of judges, and Biden is keeping up with this new accelerated pace. If the Democrats keep the Senate, this will continue and four years of Biden appointees will balance the four years of Trump appointees. If Mitch brings it all to a screeching halt, then Biden will have only two years' worth of new federal judges. Which, as I said, is a big difference (even though not a legislative difference).

Legislatively, however, if Mitch McConnell does regain control he will be faced with a big decision. There is absolutely no possible way that Republicans are going to pick up 10 seats, which is what they would need to defeat legislative filibusters. So Mitch will face pressure to jettison the filibuster (so Republicans can move their bills to the president's desk). But Mitch may resist such pressure, since he knows it would be rather pointless.

Let's say Republicans did get rid of the filibuster. There's no guarantee they'll keep control forever, which means eventually Democrats will be able to completely shut Republicans out of power, after they regain control. And it all boils down to who is sitting in the Oval Office. If there were currently a Republican president, Mitch would be a lot more inclined to kill the filibuster, for obvious reasons. Then the bills a GOP House and Senate passed would actually become law. That would be real power, and Mitch would be a lot more interested in such a scenario. But with a Democrat in the White House, it really is a moot point whether a Republican bill passes the House and then dies in the Senate (due to Democrats filibustering it) or the same bill passes the Senate but is then vetoed by a Democratic president. Either way, the bill dies. So Mitch might want to keep his powder dry and hold off on killing the filibuster until another Republican is in the White House (when it would actually mean real power for Mitch).

There's an interesting flip side to all that, but it is a tangent to this discussion. What will Democrats do if they are successful in expanding their Senate majority -- but the House flips to Republican control? If Democrats have 52 or 53 senators next year, they'll have the power to ignore Kyrsten Sinema and Joe Manchin and get rid of the filibuster themselves. But, again, it'd be rather pointless. Sure, the Senate could pass a whole bunch of good bills, but then they'd go over to the House and die. And, just like Mitch's conundrum, at some point Republicans will win back control of the Senate and Democrats will be out in the cold.

As I said, though, that's a tangent. What all of this boils down to is what a Republican House will do next year. Because that will largely be the same no matter what happens over in the Senate.

First on their spleen-venting agenda may be impeachment. After only being used once for the first 200 years of American history, since then we've had three presidential impeachments -- Bill Clinton's, and then both of Donald Trump's. Republicans from Trump on down were incensed over his impeachments, and it will likely be payback time for Joe Biden. It almost doesn't even matter what they impeach him for (he hasn't actually done anything remotely impeachable, but that certainly won't stop them), because the three-ring circus will be the same. They'll have lots of fun and get lots and lots of media attention, which is entirely the point. They'll impeach Biden (and quite possibly a handful of his cabinet members, just for good measure) and send the articles over to the Senate, where they will never get the requisite votes. The whole thing will be chalked up as partisan vengeance, and we may enter a period in American history where impeachment becomes a regular tool for one party to use to harass the other, no matter what the actual circumstances.

Impeachment is only one way to harass the president's party, however. House committees will launch numerous investigations into the Biden administration and his family. These investigations will be held by committees run by the likes of Jim Jordan and (perhaps) Marjorie Taylor Greene. They will be light on substance and heavy on conspiracy theories. They will be full of lots of shouting and wild accusations, with little-to-zero evidence to back any of it up. In other words, there will be a lot of spleen-venting style, with no substance at all. It will all be spun as cotton candy for the consumption of right-wing media audiences.

The Republican House's legislative agenda will consist largely of monkey wrenches thrown all over the place. They'll try to undermine everything the Biden administration has already accomplished and block anything Biden is still interested in accomplishing. They may also pass a whole raft of "messaging" bills, which codify all sorts of Republican wet dreams into draft legislation, but since everyone knows none of them will ever become law (under Biden's watch, at any rate) nobody's going to pay a whole lot of attention to the details of them. Messaging aside, however, Republicans will have some leverage that they will likely use -- eagerly. There are the annual budgets, two of which must pass before another Congress is seated. And there may be at least one vote held on raising the nation's debt limit, which Republicans have already indicated they plan on using as a hostage.

The debt limit problem could be avoided in the lame-duck session of the current Congress -- Democrats could either lift the debt ceiling so high it wouldn't run out in the next two years, or they could alternatively just abolish the whole unnecessary concept of having a debt ceiling in the first place. Either way, this would remove the hostage from the clutches of the next House.

The budgets, however, are still going to need to be passed. This is where control of the Senate is much more important. If Democrats still hold the Senate, then the two houses will have to agree on a budget. If Republicans hold the Senate, then the negotiations will be between the Biden White House and the congressional GOP leaders, which is a whole different dynamic.

It's unclear at this point what Republicans would use their budgetary leverage for (other than shutting the government down for a while). They could wind up choosing just about anything and going to the mat for it, but since their campaign rhetoric is so devoid of actual ideas, nobody can really tell what it'll be at this point. It could wind up being "entitlement reform" which is a euphemistic way of saying "cutting Social Security and Medicare." It could wind up being big tax cuts for wealthy people and corporations, too -- in today's Republican Party this seems like just about the only thing they can all agree on.

It could even wind up including various "culture war" issues, since this is a big crowd-pleaser that Republicans love to campaign on. Your guess is as good as mine as to what particular issue the Republicans will deem important enough to use as budget leverage, though -- the issues seem to shift pretty quickly over time, over in the right-wing echo chamber. By next summer, who knows what the fulminators on Fox News will be getting all worked up about?

Whatever they manage, however, it's going to be nowhere near what they are promising the voters right now. A Republican Congress (one house or two) would likely not get much of anything done at all. The last one certainly didn't -- all they really passed legislatively was another enormous tax giveaway to the wealthy. The squabbling among the various GOP factions torpedoed pretty much everything else. The same thing could happen next year, as the Republican Party is nowhere near as single-minded as they may seem. They all (to some degree or another) swear fealty to their Dear Leader, but their Dear Leader is not exactly Mr. Policy Wonk. There is no actual core ideology of Trumpism, it mostly consists of his own spleen-venting. At least the Tea Partiers had some concrete political positions they all rallied around -- the MAGA faction really does not. Which is a recipe for not much of anything actually getting accomplished.

Except the collective venting of the spleens. That much is guaranteed. If the Republicans control the House and (to a lesser degree) the Senate next year, we will all be in for a two-year extended run of Seinfeld's infamous "airing of the grievances." It'll be a long couple of years of the worst parts of Festivus, in other words.

    They won't start WWIII...

    They won't give 88 BILLION dollars of top o the line US Military hardware to terrorist groups and get 13 brave American troops killed by releasing terrorists from custody as Demonrats have done...

    They won't decimate our economy as Demonrats have done....

    They won't claim that killing babies is a great way to address inflation as Demonrats have done....

    Yea.. So there are a LOT of things the GOP won't do when they take control of the HOUSE and the SENATE.... :D

    No, you said you were in Law Enforcement for "more than two decades" and on other occasions for "25+ years". You only changed to saying "Public Safety" in the last couple of years after I had proven you were lying. Since changing it to "Public Safety" you've somehow gained 5 more years of service... because why the hell not?! It's all in your imagination anyways! The strange part is, you've never bothered to state what your positions have been in "Public Safety". Actually, that's not strange at all... that's typical when for people who are lying. If you were telling the truth, it would be strange to not be able to tell us exactly which departments you were employed by. It's not like we don't already possess any personal information that we might gain from verifying your employment history.

    You aren't part of EMS, you weren't law enforcement, and seeing how you've openly talked of selling electronic components over the years, not sure how that qualifies as falling under the "Public Safety" umbrella. Even if you were selling electronics or services to government agencies or law enforcement that doesn't actually make YOU PART of Public Safety. Having to wear an court-ordered monitoring device does not really make you part of the "Public Safety" field, either.

    Stacey Abrams Floats Abortion as an Inflation Fix: ‘Having Children Is Why You’re Worried’ about Rising Prices

    Stacey Abrams, the Democratic nominee for governor in Georgia, floated abortion as a solution to voters’ concerns about inflation on Wednesday, explaining to Morning Joe viewers that “having children is why you’re worried about your price for gas, it’s why you’re concerned about how much food costs.”

    Abrams, who lost the 2018 gubernatorial election to incumbent Republican Brian Kemp, was responding to a question about what she would do to address inflation.

    QUESTION:
    “While abortion is an issue, it nowhere near reaches the level of interest of voters in terms of the cost of gas, food, bread, milk… what could you do as governor to alleviate the concerns of Georgia voters about those livability, daily, hourly issues that they’re confronted with?”

    Stacey BIG LIE Abrams Answer:
    “You can’t divorce being forced to carry an unwanted pregnancy from the economic realities of having a child.
    We don’t have the luxury of reducing it, or separating them out.

    But let’s not pretend that women — half the population — especially of childbearing age, they understand that having a child is absolutely an economic issue. It’s only politicians that see it as just another cultural conversation.”

    Get that??

    According to Stacey BIG LIE Abrams, ALL WOMEN think of having a child is an "economic" issue..

    According to Stacey BIG LIE Abrams, a woman's choice to have a baby is SOLELY an economic question..

    Stacey Abrams is still an election denier

    Stacey Abrams, in the gubernatorial debate Monday night, signaled that once again she will not concede if she loses.

    “In 2018, you didn’t concede defeat to Gov. Kemp,” the moderator began, “and you talked of systemic problems with the state’s election system. This election, do you commit to accept the outcome of the vote, regardless of what it shows, and do you stand by your use of words like ‘rigged’ four years ago to describe the state’s election system?”

    The Georgia Democrat began her answer Monday saying that “in 2018 I began my speech on Nov. 16 acknowledging that Gov. Kemp had won the election.”

    That’s false. Watch her speech here. Abrams “began” her 12-minute speech in 2018 with more than four minutes of complaining about how “democracy failed Georgia” and gripes about “misinformation.”

    After four-plus minutes of objections, Abrams said, “I acknowledge that former Secretary of State Brian Kemp will be certified as the victor in the 2018 gubernatorial election.” That’s not an admission that he won — and she underscored that when she added, “Let’s be clear, this is not a speech of concession. … My assessment is the law currently allows no further viable remedy.”

    The first and most obvious problem is… those are not his medical records, and you’d have to be a fool or a member of the press to believe they are. But I repeat myself. What the campaign released — here, in PDF form — is a one-page letter from Fetterman’s primary physician, Dr. Clifford Chen of Pittsburgh’s UPMC.

    It’s basically a doctor’s note assuring voters that although he’s been sick, little Johnny can come to class today.

    That’s why last week, during his first post-stroke interview, Fetterman required “a large computer screen with closed captioning” to understand what NBC correspondent Dasha Burns was asking. “In small talk before my interview,” Burns said afterward, “it wasn’t clear he understood what I was saying.”

    Fetterman’s wife, former illegal alien and current “de facto candidate,” Gisele Barreto Fetterman, demanded to know: “What is being done at the media after a reporter came out so openly ableist towards a person?”

    By the way, that “de facto candidate” line came from a very friendly profile of Barreto by Rolling Stone’s Kara Vough that focused in part on her husband’s “lingering stroke symptoms.”

    I guess “de facto candidate” was supposed to be one of those “You go, girl!” moments, but it came across more like, “Seriously, just how bad is your husband’s condition?”

    That’s more evidence, on top of Chen’s letter, that Fetterman has been at least somewhat disabled by his stroke.

    Fraydeeman is disabled.. This is FACT that no amount of Demonrat spin will change...

    Being disabled, in and of itself, is not disqualifying.. It's the TYPE of disability that is important here..

    Fraydeeman cannot comprehend words or sentences.. His brain cannot process the auditory content..

    That's a statement of fact, not a slam or spin...

    Fraydeeman's disability prevents him from being a viable US Senator..

    I am sure the Demonrat plan is to replace Fraydeeman if he somehow manages to win the election..

    Which isn't really a concern because Fraydeeman simply cannot win..

    Biden administration funds studies on danger of transgender hormonal treatments even as it pushes them on kids

    Many adverse effects are being investigated, and much is unknown about the potential consequences

    The Biden administration has been promoting puberty blocker and hormone therapy treatment drugs for transgender children even as it spent roughly $17 million on studies to analyze the dangers and uncertainties of the drugs.

    The National Institutes of Health is funding nearly 30 studies on medical concerns for transgender people after hormone therapy, such as increased cardiovascular risks, weakened ability to fight sexually transmitted infections, higher levels of HIV and infertility. Several of these concerns are identified in NIH-funded studies on transgender youth.

    One of these studies that began last year declares puberty blockers "have not been systematically studied." Another study on hormone treatment for adolescents states there is "little to no empirical data guiding clinical practices."

    Will Democrats Lose the West?

    Republicans are running even in crucial races across the
    Throughout much of the West, Democrats are floundering in key races they should not be having to fight to win.

    Take Nevada, where Senator Catherine Cortez Masto should have been able to build on Harry Reid’s legendary political machine, and ought to have been able to marshal rock-solid union support in Las Vegas, to put away her challenger, the election-denying Adam Laxalt, months ago. Instead, with just weeks to go until the election, they’re in a dead heat, and Masto is the Democrats’ most vulnerable senator in the country. It’s also possible that an election-denying Republican will win the Nevada governorship as well. Polls show incumbent Democratic Governor Steve Sisolak and GOP Clark County Sheriff Joe Lombardo running even, and the state’s three Democratic members of Congress are also in tough reelection fights.

    Nevada was hit particularly hard by Covid lockdowns, and the state’s tourism-based economy has not yet fully rebounded. The unemployment rate in Las Vegas, the epicenter of Democratic support in the state, remains at nearly 6 percent, and inflation throughout the southwest and mountain west remains far higher than the national average; between January 2021 and the summer of 2022, prices in Nevada increased by over 15 percent. And, rightly or wrongly, Democrats are blamed for these soaring prices.

    How to Lose Friends and Influence Over People

    A decade of Obama-Biden foreign policy has broken the Middle East and America’s security order

    Americans have a reputation, with others and in their own national literature, for being careless and breaking things. Often this is because they are so admirably creative, dynamic, and unattached to the past. But for the last two decades, the epicenter of American carelessness has been the Middle East, an area of the world that seems to encourage fantasies among all Westerners, yet where real-world margins for error are small. The result has been a series of disasters for the peoples of the region and for American prestige. This week brought what looks like another unforced error in policymaking, fed by hubris, fantasy, airy talk, and a refusal to acknowledge reality.

    On Tuesday, White House national security spokesman John Kirby announced that President Joe Biden will be reevaluating America’s relationship with Saudi Arabia after OPEC+ announced the previous week that it would cut oil production. Kirby’s announcement followed a statement by Sen. Robert Menendez, D-N.J., claiming that Saudi Arabia is helping to “underwrite Putin’s war” through OPEC+. “As Chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee,” Menendez said, “I will not green-light any cooperation with Riyadh until the Kingdom reassesses its position with respect to the war in Ukraine.”

    As a Saudi who loves the United States, and believes deeply that our two countries need each other, the only word that comes to mind regarding the contemporary “reevaluation” of our relations is: obscene.

    It was the Obama administration that decided to give Vladimir Putin a foothold in the eastern Mediterranean, which it sold to the American people as a way to “deescalate” the civil war in Syria. As the United States romanced Putin, offering him Crimea and warm water ports in Syria in exchange for pulling Iran’s irons out of the fire over the past decade, U.S. allies like Saudi Arabia, the Gulf States, and Israel have had no choice but to cope. Last month, while Russian-operated Iranian drones and missiles were pounding Kyiv, Riyadh used its diplomatic leverage to obtain the release of American and British POWs from Putin.

    America saddled us with the reality of a neighboring country controlled by Iranian troops and the Russian air force. Worse, as part of its Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA), the Obama administration sent tens of billions of dollars flowing into Iranian coffers—money that was used to demolish Iraq, crush Syria, create chaos in Lebanon, and threaten Saudi territory from Yemen. Iranian rocket and drone strikes on oil facilities in Saudi Arabia are now routine. In response to the barrage of missiles on Saudi infrastructure last year, the Biden administration withdrew U.S. missile defense batteries from Saudi territory.

It is one thing to advocate for the elimination of fossil fuels and the expulsion of Putin’s Russia from global energy markets; it is quite another thing to do so while continuing to purchase Russian energy yourself. In April of 2022, over a month after the war started and after Western sanctions had already been passed, the United States imported more Russian oil than any month on record. Last week, the Financial Times reported that “EU countries have paid more than 100 billion euros to Russia for fossil fuels since the invasion of Ukraine.” All during this period, the administration has publicly berated Saudi Arabia, Israel, and other U.S. allies in the Gulf for not doing enough against Russia. This performance is not convincing to anyone: not to Saudis, Israelis, Emiratis, Indians, Russians, or Ukrainians. Judging by certain opinion polls, it is not convincing to many Americans, either.

But if a party, any party, in power in the United States not only explicitly threatens Saudi Arabia, but makes good on many of its threats, Riyadh does not have much of a choice in how to react. Like any other country on the planet, it must protect its own people and its own national interests.

    American allies in the region are witnessing the unraveling of a post-Soviet world order that they helped America build. As the White House doubles down on regional and global policies that are hastening that unraveling, stakeholders the world over are rightly reassessing their own security interests as America’s partners.

    Democrats oblivious to rising tide of unhappy voters may be shocked by Republican midterm wins

    Inflation, crime and immigration drive frustration as Democrats disconnected to key voter concerns

    The Republicans are edging closer to a wave election. They are finally connecting with voters on the issues they care most about – inflation, crime and immigration – while Democrats are essentially fighting a shadow midterm on issues voters care less about. Americans aren’t necessarily acting out of partisanship; they’re venting their frustration with the poor economic fundamentals and the threatened recession.

    In the summer there was lot of speculation that the incumbent party could defy midterms history and escape a big loss, and I was puzzled by the large segment of Democratic voters who disapproved of President Joe Biden and yet were sticking with the Democratic Party in the midterms. That is beginning to crack now, especially when we look at likely voters which are breaking 53/47 in favor of the Republicans now.

    On inflation, crime and immigration, Republicans are channeling voters’ anxiety and frustration. In the Oct. 12-13 Harvard CAPS-Harris Poll, voters said those three issues were their greatest concern, and they were over 10 percentage points more likely to vote Republican than Democratic based on each. Among likely voters, that pro-GOP gap increases to 15 percentage points.

    Americans’ anxiety around the economy looks devastating for the party in power. 84% of voters think the US is in a recession now or will be by next year. An astounding 57% of Americans think their personal financial situation is worsening. Even during most of the pandemic, only 20-30% said the same.

    Voters also blame Biden for these troubles. Fifty-five percnet of voters blame Biden for inflation, including 42% of Democrats. Unlike unemployment, which affects a sliver of the population, inflation affects all Americans, and they can easily see the effect on gas prices and grocery bills. The situation will only worsen as OPEC+’s cut in oil production goes into effect, and the Federal Reserve is expected to raise interest rates yet again.

    The Democrats are also avoiding confronting the other major issues, crime and immigration. Two-thirds of Americans think crime is rising, and 60% blame "woke politicians" for causing it.

More voters say both these plans make them more likely to vote Republican rather than Democratic because the voters who oppose them are more energized. When it comes to student debt, for example, those who think they’re going to have to pay for other people’s relief are more motivated to vote than those getting the relief.

    Strong social capital—broadly analogous to collective efficacy—is a big reason for the perceived societal advantages of white, Asian, and, perhaps most visibly of all in New York, Jewish communities. At exceptional rates, Jews tend to step in when they see community problems, providing privately funded ambulances for the sick and food delivery for the elderly, for example. They approach crime the same way.

    In New York, the Chasidim in Crown Heights have the Shomrim, a decades-old volunteer neighborhood watch. Similarly, all Jewish institutions in the Greater New York City area benefit from the UJA–Federation/JCRC–NY’s Community Security Initiative, which offers everything from advice on physical security systems to help in applying for federal security grants. American synagogues and Jewish schools spend member dues on professional security guards and forge relationships with local police precincts. Facing a 24 percent increase in anti-Semitic incidents statewide—with 51 assaults in New York City alone—Jewish federations and their local chapters are providing $130 million for a new nationwide security initiative. All this is a manifestation of collective efficacy, which complements police efforts.

    Following a host of criminal-justice reforms that shrunk policing capabilities and constricted consistent and effective prosecution, however, black communities’ social capital has broken down, with blacks bearing the brunt of rising violence. Bail reform, a leading example of these misguided ideas, has been a key plank of the Democratic platform on criminal justice in recent years, from Chicago to Memphis and beyond. The resulting policies, as with New York’s 2020 bail laws, have kept judges from jailing dangerous offenders pretrial, leading to their reoffending at staggering rates. New York’s 2017 Raise the Age law indiscriminately removed consequences for 16- and 17-year-olds, returning them, gun arrest after gun arrest, to the streets and public schools where their presence has escalated tit-for-tat gang violence and terrified students trying to learn. Decriminalization of low-level offenses in major American cities has rapidly degraded certain streets—much of New York City’s Harlem, for example—from peaceful to seedy and unpredictable.

    Left-wing criminal-justice policies aimed at elevating blacks have instead devastated collective efficacy in their communities.

No longer deterred or incapacitated by law enforcement, a new and growing cohort of offenders is making it much harder for neighbors in black communities to trust one another, to step in when they see a problem, and to marshal the social capital that is the bedrock of collective efficacy.

    This is especially true because crime is a hyper-local phenomenon, as criminologist David Weisburd has shown. In New York City, for instance, about 1 percent of streets produce about 25 percent of crime, and about 5 percent of streets produce about 50 percent of crime. When policies release dangerous people back into the public, it is among the residents of these concentrated streets—many in black neighborhoods—where the sense of security frays.

    You are spot on as to what the Republicans will do if they retake the House or the Senate or both. And this, again, should be what Democrats are hammering the public with in their ads.

    Republicans say that Biden is killing our economy... so what are they going to do legislatively to fix it for him? I've heard them complain about how Biden's policies are destroying everything, but not a single one of them said how they are going to fix it? Hunter Biden cannot fix the economy no matter how much they want to investigate him; so why prioritize him over it?

    There have been a lot of articles pointing out that the January 6 Committee failed to convince the people of our nation how serious the evidence against Trump and his administration truly is. I hate to disagree, but the Committee did their job just fine. The American people know that Trump is a criminal. They have known it since before he was elected. We, the People, could not believe that he was permitted to openly commit crimes while he was the President... protected by Republicans who made it clear that party came before the Constitution. Many of us believed that when he was voted out of office, Trump would finally be held accountable. We waited for Biden to be sworn into office so that justice could finally happen and Trump would be prosecuted for his numerous crimes. And we waited. And then we waited more. I've had Republican friends tell me that they believe that Trump must be innocent because he would have already been arrested if he'd done everything they claim he has done. Tough to argue with that logic.

    The January 6 Committee did a great job. But they could never do what we needed them to be able to do... hold any of those involved in the failed insurrection accountable for their actions. It is a mistake to avoid indicting Trump and his co-conspirators because people will claim it was done for political reasons just before the elections. All I know is that if there are not mass arrests and indictments filed minutes after the last polling places close in Hawaii, Garland is making his huge mistake even worse.

    And the silent acquiescence of the cowardly Republicans to all of this seething hatred is deafening.

    The threats of violence and then actual violence has become normalized in the GOP, and if the righties and right-leaning Americans can't recognize the duplicity of a con artist who would attempt to strong-arm his own vice president into unilaterally unconstitutionally and illegally recognizing the slates of fake electors he's assembled in order to overturn the will of the states and the majority of Americans in order to keep himself in power, knowing full well he lost the election, then there is little hope for them, their Party, or the democracy.

    - "No, the grass is green."

    The discussion heated up, and the two decided to submit him to arbitration, and for this they went before the lion, the King of the Jungle.

    Already before reaching the forest clearing, where the lion was sitting on his throne, the donkey began to shout:
    - "His Highness, is it true that the grass is blue?".

    The lion replied:
    - "True, the grass is blue."

    The donkey hurried and continued:
    - "The tiger disagrees with me and contradicts and annoys me, please punish him."

    The king then declared:
    - "The tiger will be punished with 5 years of silence."

    The donkey jumped cheerfully and went on his way, content and repeating:
    - "The Grass Is Blue"...

    The tiger accepted his punishment, but before he asked the lion:
    - "Your Majesty, why have you punished me?, after all, the grass is green."

    The lion replied:
    - "In fact, the grass is green."

    The tiger asked:
    - "So why are you punishing me?".

    The lion replied:
    - "That has nothing to do with the question of whether the grass is blue or green.

    The punishment is because it is not possible for a brave and intelligent creature like you to waste time arguing with a donkey, and on top of that come and bother me with that question."

    The worst waste of time is arguing with the fool and fanatic who does not care about truth or reality, but only the victory of his beliefs and illusions. Never waste time on arguments that don't make sense...

    There are people who, no matter how much evidence and evidence we present to them, are not in the capacity to understand, and others are blinded by ego, hatred and resentment, and all they want is to be right even if they are not.

    In my defense, few in the chattering classes foresaw as Election Day approached what voters were about to wrought.

    Ever since, I've declined to make predictions about who will or won't win an election.

    That said, it is possible to read the trends ahead of an election to get a sense of what may happen. Let me stress the word may. And several important trends are leaning, in some cases quite heavily, in favor of Republicans. Let's look at seven key indicators:

    ?Joe Biden is unpopular.

    ?Inflation remains out of control.

    ?Interest rates also are soaring.

    ?Crime is on the rise.

    ?Economic issues overshadow abortion rights.

    ?Polls underestimate Republican support.

    I am guilt of having a different political opinion than everyone else here.. I am guilty of defending that opinion with passion and aplomb.. And yes.. I am guilty of personal attacks of a political variety.. By that, I mean I say things like "Yer a moron for voting for Demonrats.." A personal attack, yes.. But a personal attack based on a POLITICAL point..

    So.. THAT is what I am guilty of...

    Now, let's see what Shit Husband Russ, Moron Vick and Dishonorable Discharge MC are guilty of..

    THEY are guilty of gross and perverse PERSONAL personal attacks.. The don't attack my on my political views.. They attack me base on PERSONAL things.. They attack MY FAMILY... They attack my children... They drag things into real life by running background checks and having a spouse run an ILLEGAL background check... They dredge up flame wars and actions from YEARS ago and drag them into this forum..

    And yes.. Once they started down that road, I defended myself and my family in the same manner..

    So, when one looks at this with an OBJECTIVE eye, it's clear who is at fault here..

    If their personal attacks would stop, then MY response to those personal attacks will stop... And POOOF... there goes 80% of the problem right there...

    So, if you want to be pissy at someone for this mess, it's obvious WHO you should be pissy at..

    As ALWAYS, I stand ready to do my part.. I have NEVER shirked that...

    OK Now getting back to the coming election..

    Lets look more in depth at the USA TODAY article that outlines why it's likely to be a Red Tsunami in 18 days..

    Joe Biden is unpopular.

    More than 54% of Americans, according to the Real Clear Politics polling average, hold an unfavorable opinion of the president. Biden's unfavorable ratings don't mean much in Democratic citadels like California or New York, but they matter a great deal in Georgia, Ohio and Pennsylvania, where control of the Senate will be determined.

    Consider this take from New York Times progressive writer Frank Bruni about last week's Herschel Walker-Raphael Warnock Senate debate in Georgia: "Rather than Warnock trying to make Walker answer for his alliance with the former president (Trump), Walker insisted that Warnock defend his with the current one – a dynamic that doesn’t exactly track with media coverage of the midterms. We keep wondering how much Trump will wound Republican candidates. Warnock seemed plenty worried about how much Biden would wound him."

    This is a VERY good point.. If one looks at things logically and rationally, Warlock's association hurts WARLOCK a LOT more than Walker's association with President Trump hurts Walker..

    President Trump is NOT causing all of America's problems..

    Creepy Dementia Biden *IS* causing all of America's problems..

    Creepy Dementia Biden hurts Warlock *A LOT* more than President Trump hurts Walker..

    This is stone cold FACT...

    To slow inflation, the Federal Reserve has been forced to aggressively increase interest rates, which for the American public means the cost of buying a home or a car or paying down credit card debt is substantially more expensive now than at the start of 2022. It's to the point that I'm starting to have flashbacks to 1980, when the misery index was a topic of discussion in homes across America.

I'm sure the progressives would be more than happy to return the favor considering all the crazy antics that Drazan pulled while in the state legislature and that recall will get on the ballot.

Not all those voters will go for the GOP, but it's Republicans who are hammering their Democratic opponents on the increase in crime in campaigns across the country, in part because it was progressives who championed "defund the police" and, fairly or not, Democrats are still associated with that deeply unpopular idea.

    The pollsters I've worked with over the years are smart professionals who take their craft seriously. They want to get the numbers right – and have strong financial incentives to do so. Even so, pollsters badly undercounted Republican voters ahead of the 2016 and 2020 elections, and there's reason to think it could happen again this year. Some media outlets such as Real Clear Politics are trying to adjust for a possible undercount of Republican voters this year based on previous election results. That's tricky at best. But there is a common perception that the polls are inaccurate, and not in Democrats' favor.

    Polls are run by Media people and the Media is in the shit cellar with Americans.. No more so than with GOP and Independent/NPA Americans..

    So, any poll has a BUILT IN undercount of GOP'ers and Independents..

    Biden thanked Fetterman, Pennsylvania's lieutenant governor, for attending the speech, saying that he would try to be brief for the sake of the lieutenant governor. During the brief acknowledgment, Biden made the comment that Fetterman's wife would do well in the Senate.

    "John, thank you very much for running, I really do appreciate it," Biden said. "And Gisele, you're gonna be a great, great lady in the Senate."

    Focus group rejects Biden running in 2024, stuns MSNBC analyst: 'That was quick, wow'

    Focus group participant expressed concern about Biden's 'deterioration'

    MSNBC political analyst Elise Jordan was "jarred" Thursday to find a focus group of swing voters don’t think President Biden should seek re-election in 2024.

    "They just do not see it as viable for President Biden to run for a second term, they simply think he’s too old, and they’re not sure about is ability to do the job," Jordan said on "Morning Joe."

    Jordan held two focus groups, one with female swing voters in Pittsburgh and another with Black Democrats in Philadelphia. She asked the Pittsburgh-based swing voters if Biden should run again and the women quickly answered with a resounding, "No."

    In a clip flagged by Mediaite, Jordan responded, "That was quick, wow. Why shouldn’t Joe Biden run again?"

    Lifelong Democrat attorney ignites Twitter with switch to GOP: Republicans pose 'far less of a threat'

    Jenin Younes says censorship, authoritarian COVID policies, gender ideology drove her away from the left

    A lifelong Democrat writer and civil liberties attorney said Thursday she will vote Republican for the first time, motivated by what she sees as the left's embrace of "authoritarian" measures during the COVID pandemic and censorship of opposing views.

    "Though I was a lifelong Democrat until 2020, I will be voting red this November and in every election for the foreseeable future. I firmly believe that, despite my many disagreements with platforms of the Republican Party, it poses far less of a threat than Democrats," Jenin Younes wrote on Twitter this week.

    Younes told Steve Doocy on Thursday that several crucial issues compelled her to make the switch, including gender identity politics forced on children, Biden's executive overreach, censorship and "authoritarianism."

    Hopefully you can read this objectively when you calm down..

    I'm (obviously) not Liz, but hopefully you can understand why me or anyone else here in the comments section would take issue with you deigning to "say" that it's Liz who needs to "calm down."

    Let's look at the 2 sides here..

    Already you err in describing a complex issue as a 2-sided one, but go on.

    What am *I* guilty of??

    You're a stunningly ignorant fabricating blowhard who fancies himself as some sort of counterbalance to a debate... when you more closely resemble a flaming spamming board troller.

    I am guilt of having a different political opinion than everyone else here..

    That is demonstrably not a fact.

    I am guilty of defending that opinion with passion and aplomb..

    You're not remotely a defender; you're a spamming instigating attacking troll who fancies himself a "debater." We all already know you hate democrats. It isn't necessary to interject your hatred over and over and over and over and spam the board with the same repetitive bullshit to make your point.

    CW said it better:

    Seriously, we don't need to read it forty or fifty times every day in order to get your message. In fact, the more you post exactly the same thing, the more the rest of us think: "Wow -- he's really insecure about this, he must have some serious doubts that Trump's going to win." In other words, the exact opposite of the impression you're trying to give.

    Please, for the love of all that's holy, comment about the article I've written. Comment about someone else's comment. Comment about science fiction or music. But put a cork in the repetitious same-old same-old so the rest of us can have a conversation.

    We get it. You don't like Democrats and you think Trump's going to win. You think it is inevitable, which is exactly how you felt in pretty much every election that comes along. Sometimes you are right (2016) and sometimes you are wrong (2012, 2018). But just being a broken record really isn't adding much of anything to the conversation.

    Is any of this getting through? One can only hope...

    That isn't a question so you need to learn grammar/punctuation and also seriously grow the fuck up, troll. Who the hell do you think you are to lecture Liz or anyone else on this forum regarding objectivity and/or rationality? Rhetorical question. Your patronizing mansplaining is stunning in its rank ignorance.

    Or if you are going to be hysterical and emotional and make it all about political bigotry...

    Oh, Liz is hysterical and emotional. Bullshit, condescending total bollocks.

    New York Times article warns Democrats' worst midterm fears being realized: 'Red October has arrived'

    Economy, crime and ‘a huge communication failure’ are to blame for Democrat woes, Times writer says

    Voters don’t need to hunt for "Red October" any longer, according to the New York Times. It's here.

    The paper's politics editor sounded the alarm on Thursday as midterm elections loom, warning readers that a red wave could be on the horizon, and things could quickly become "dire" for Democrats.

    The piece by Blake Hounshell was bluntly headlined, "Democrats’ Feared Red October Has Arrived," detailing how the "midterms aren’t shaping up" how Democrats had hoped.

    "Here’s the thing about elections: When they break, they usually break in one direction. And right now, all the indicators on my political dashboard are blinking red — as in, toward Republicans," Hounshell wrote.

    Democrats’ Feared Red October Has Arrived

    Many Democrats hoped it would be a “weird election.” But with Election Day just three weeks away, the midterms aren’t shaping up that way.

    Here’s the thing about elections: When they break, they usually break in one direction. And right now, all the indicators on my political dashboard are blinking red — as in, toward Republicans.

    First, there’s inflation. It hasn’t gone away as the Biden administration had hoped, and the Federal Reserve likewise seems to be hamstrung in dealing with it. Americans are being squeezed between exorbitant prices for consumer goods — inflation is still at 40-year highs — and interest rates that the Fed has ratcheted up as it seeks to rein in those prices. Anyone trying to buy a home now faces 30-year mortgage rates that have soared past 6 percent.

    The latest New York Times/Siena poll, my colleague Nate Cohn wrote this week, suggests that “the conditions that helped Democrats gain over the summer no longer seem to be in place,” with voters’ sour view of the economy driving the downturn in the party’s prospects.

And as the polls have tightened, Smiley has outraised her Democratic opponent for the first time — by nearly a two-to-one margin.

    A loss for Murray would be a major upset. And if Democrats now need to worry about a state like Washington, that’s a dire sign for their chances in November.

    And MORE good FACTS about the Demonrats and their HORRIBLE DEFUND DEMONIZE DEMORALIZE THE POLICE POLICIES that not only have gotten HUNDREDS of cops killed, but have ALSO decimated the black American communities...

    Awakening from the “Defund” Nightmare

    Progressive commentators are beginning to notice the damage their criminal-justice policies have wrought in America’s most vulnerable communities.

    Over the past few weeks, several top progressive commentators have completely reversed their views on “defunding police” and adopted a more tough-on-crime approach. Most notably, Cenk Uygur and Ana Kasparian—key figures of the premier progressive outlet The Young Turks—have awakened to the grim consequences of the policies they initially supported.

    Uygur recently posted a viral tweet lambasting the “defund the police” movement as “wildly counterproductive framing” and asking progressives when they will “admit they were wrong?” These statements contrast starkly with Uygur’s tweets during the nationwide George Floyd protests: “I’m done. I’m now supporting #DefundThePolice 100%. I already agreed with the substance of the argument & now I’m down for the framing, too.”

    The irony of Uygur’s recent statement is that he fails to answer the very question he poses to the Left: he has not acknowledged that he was wrong. In fact, prominent liberal commentators on platforms from The Young Turks to CNN helped popularize the movement that led to massive cuts to police department budgets in 2020. Major cities such as New York City, Los Angeles, Seattle, Austin, and San Francisco slashed funding for their departments amid an unprecedented rise in officer retirements and low officer morale. The financial, cultural, legal, and psychological ramifications of the Black Lives Matter-fueled defund-police movement correlated with record-breaking 30 percent rise in homicides in 2020, followed by another 6 percent rise last year.
