Anyone still predicting a RED WAVE?

The Senate remained blue... no change...the House flipped to red, big change.

Investigations, impeachment’s, the funding for 87K IRS agents, gone.

Brand new to politics, eh?

Dems expanded their Senate majority.

Biden's IRS provisions passed in 2022, and became the law of the land. The only way the GOP can repeal the statutorily-required funding is by repealing or modifying the law, which would require consent from the Senate and the president. That's why Obamacare was never defunded.

Every politically savy astute person has known the GOP would almost certainly win the House in 2022. What wasn't expected was that the Republicans would just barely win it with a tiny dysfunctional majority.

TrumpCo set the precedent that the Executive Branch can just ignore subpoenas from congress.

Unless Biden commits flagrant crimes or open corruption, I doubt you can even get all 222 Republicans to vote for impeachment. Losing just 4 moderate Republicans dooms any impeachment fantasies, and GOP ends up with egg on their face.

Captain Earl, the violent White Supremacist traitor, is clearly demented. His family should consider putting him in a "home".

All good points about the current situation. Except for a lot of squealing and the 2023 equivalent of the Republican's 7 (8?) Benghazi show trials, nothing will happen in the next two years. Complete deadlock in the House except to pass a budget and raise the debt ceiling. This will set up a Democratic takeover of the House in 2024.
 
do you know the biggest difference that comes from McCarthy's speakership?.......he's pledged to delay all votes on budgets until representatives actually have had a chance to read it.........

A lot of Kabuki theater for two years intended to drive fund raising, but little of consequence will happen. I could see a government shutdown happening, but every single time that has happened in the past the GOP lost.

A prolonged shutdown will likely end them. Every single time it hurts them.

Never forget, the Chamber of Commerce is a larger part of their base than the burn it down crew.
 
Not so sure about that... they seem to be unable to do anything. Gerrymandering got you that, not the will of the voters, taking a hard line is a mistake.

The new Republicans were sworn in two days ago, ambulance chaser.

Democrats love investigations and impeachment’s...lots of them coming.

I am all for the investigations, and if they turn up impeachable evidence I am for that... Interesting that you consider it a foregone conclusion, are you admitting that the evidence does not matter?
 
If you were smarter, you'd realize that both the Senate and POTUS has to approve anything the House does.

to the contrary......I'm counting on the demmycrats to block everything the House passes......and counting on the voters to remember why we can't have good things come 2024......

A good prediction. Like all JPP RWers; all talk, no action.

While a government shutdown is possible, that would just work against the Republicans even more. I doubt they'll let that happen even if it means supporting recall efforts in the states of the Radical Alt-Righties.

Care to bet on the outcome of November 2024?

I'm thinking Republican POTUS, Democratic Congress.
