    As I posted in the other thread, the Republicans are better at this shit. They will spin whatever the Dems do now and use it successfully against them in 2020.

    An interesting suggestion from the NZ Herald... the Dems should put these five bills forward.

    The question is, would baldy orange cunto sign them? (That's laughably assuming they'd get past the Senate).

    First, a bill to raise the federal minimum wage to $15 and restore Trump-repealed rules protecting overtime pay. Democrats should show their support for hard-working people who are doing everything right and still not earning enough to live on. During the 2016 campaign, Trump promised to support a minimum-wage increase; on the eve of the 2018 election, his chief economic adviser proposed abolishing the law altogether. Democrats should find out where the president and the Trump-dominated Senate really stand.

    Second, legislation to strengthen the Affordable Care Act, expand its coverage and patch up the gaps that the Trump administration has punched in it. Put aside the big debate over comprehensively changing the system for later; deliver on the core promise of most Democratic campaigns in 2018.

    Third, a bill to restore the Voting Rights Act and reverse Republican voter-suppression efforts. The cause of democracy should not be carried by Democrats alone, but that is what it has come to. The greatest democracy in the world should not be the one where it is hardest to participate in the democratic process.


    Fourth, a simple, non-porked-up infrastructure bill, with funding for bridges and roads, airports and mass transit, clean-energy projects and new schools. Avoid the complexity and exotica that - while good policy - ultimately made the 2009 American Recovery and Reinvestment Act bad politics. If it doesn't employ workers in hard hats, it isn't "infrastructure" for this purpose.


    And finally, a clean bill, free of extraneous issues, that grants legal status to the immigrant children known as "dreamers." Trump has promised to sign such a bill; it's time to end the uncertainty of these young people, who have so much to contribute.

    Gonna be even less "winning" then we had over the last two years. Anyone that would try to spin this into anything other than a win for Democrats is an idiot. Dems are still picking up seats out west.

    oversight is a bitch, and this administration has inarguably been the most corrupt in decades.

    Of course he did. He wants her there because she is someone he can mobilize people to hate. He will start attacking her immediately with even more ferocity than before. He knows she is unpopular and does not want someone new in the job that he has to readjust to.

    Best post on this thread by far.

    My party good.
    Other party bad.

    They are all the fucking same, except a few of the keyboard warriors on this thread seem to think that their party is the best forever...Jesus wept!

    The only thing I will say about Trump, is at least you know in no uncertain terms, that he is a corrupt, dishonest, lying, sleazy motherfucker.

    The other side is a little more cunning in their corrupt, dishonest, lying and sleazy motherfuckerness.....

    Trump doesn't adjust to anybody. He just devises offensive or lying tweets.

    You are a bit dim, aren't you snubby. (That was rhetorical by the way...)

    Actually ... I reckon it's closer to a draw, and last time I looked I wasn't an idiot.

    Republicans GAIN some Senate Seats, but lose the Lower House to the Democrats.

    Personally I reckon the 'winners' were the USA voters who, almost unprecedentedly turned out in droves to exercise their vote.

    Sorry but it was not a draw. You are relatively new to SC and you are not factoring in the entire election. As a casual observer you overlook the fact that Dems picked up seven governorships in a huge year as there is a census in two years and voting districts will be redrawn by the party in control of the the state house. Not to mention that state governments in many cases also flipped to the Dems. So no it was far from a draw when you look at the bigger picture. This was a win for the Dems and if you look at the demographical mountains that where climbed in Florida, Georgia, and Texas this was pretty epic. (see my posts in the midterm thread)

    This is critical and is a major victory all on its own.

    Yes you are correct there.

    Again:

    Nixon was not impeached.

    If there is sufficient evidence of wrongdoing, baldy orange cunto would cut and run rather than face public humiliation. And the GOP would pardon him like Ford did Nixon.

    45 is safe from impeachment. Like Clinton, house can vote to impeach but senate will acquit.

    We'd like to think that, but he is such an inveterate narcissist and liar that he probably wouldn't see the wood for the trees and keep on denying any wrongdoing...and believe it.

    A lot like TD's resident narcissist.

    Can they, with straight faces, do that (emphasis on "straight faces")? Call me naive, but I like to think most of the Republicans despise him.
