It doesn't have to be all doom and gloom

[EnergizedLib]

Yeah, they hold the House and Qevin has the gavel. But so what? They’ve got a razor thin majority. We’ve got the Senate, we’ve got the White House. The MAGAt agenda is going nowhere in Washington.

It might not be great, but it doesn’t have to be awful. Give me this over 2017/2018 any day.

1. Get Ready For 2 Years Of Investigations And NOTHING Gets Accomplished

The real worry is when the debt ceiling comes up in a few months.

They're going to try and shut down the government. This was merely a test run.

[EnergizedLib]

5. Investigations that won't go anywhere

Shutting down government isn’t a new tactic on their end. We don’t cave to bullies.

[SoCalDavidS]

8. Doesn't Matter If They Go Nowhere

The MORONS who tune into Faux will get plenty of fire & brimstone to get them all riled up.

If not for my parents being alive and elderly, I'd be making plans to leave this country because it's all downhill from here.

[EnergizedLib]

13. They might be energized

But they can’t outnumber us if we’re also energized.

[Stallion]

2. Plus the Democrats are United Behind a Superstar Leader

who sidelined McCarthy on his "Big Night"

[LisaM]

3. I agree.

I won't be surprised to see it all backfire on them.

[Marius25]

4. It still means endless investigations, subpoena power, and impeachments

[EnergizedLib]

6. Impeachments

But not convictions. Do you think they’re going to succeed?

[Marius25]

7. No of course not. I just don't want to see Biden get impeached for dumb reasons

[SoCalDavidS]

9. President Biden Does Not Deserve This

America does deserve it though. This is exactly what the voters who put repubs in charge wanted. We're Pathetic.

[EnergizedLib]

11. But what about the voters?

They rejected the investigations into Clinton in 1998. What’s to say they can’t reject a frivolous impeachment against Biden in 2024?

[Genki Hikari]

19. They're going to find out that refusing to honor

Subpoenas works two ways.

Good enough for you, good enough for everyone else.

You opened that can of worms, r thugs. You can eat them now.

[Kennah]

10. Two Words: Debt Ceiling

[EnergizedLib]

12. And

Are we going to let them bully us into submission?

[betsuni]

15. Why would you think so?

[Kennah]

17. The lunatics want a default. Are there enough sane GOOPers to pass it with the Dems?

I have my doubts.

[Silent3]

18. All they have to do to blow through the debt ceiling is not do anything

How do you propose we overcome obstinate refusal to pass any bill to raise the debt ceiling, or feigned willingness to pass such a bill, but only with outrageous poison pills like ending Social Security or a nation-wide abortion ban?

[Iwasthere]

16. Mint the platinum coin

It's exactly what they would do

[Genki Hikari]

20. The Democrats only need, what, 7 rs

To agree with them to raise it?

That's better odds than the r thugs have of getting the majority to vote to make Qevin vacate his Speaker's gavel.

[Kennah]

21. 6 GOOPs and Qevin let's the bill go to floor. That's a tall order.

[betsuni]

14. Yes, Clinton and Obama had Republican House control for six of their eight years as president

and they managed.

[Kaleva]

22. Climate change will make this all seem petty soon enough.

Concentrating on the neighbors barbecue party while ignoring the fast approaching forest fire is not wise.

As fast as conditions are changing, it's likely those of us here aged mid 60s and younger may live to see the beginnings of the worst of it.

[haele]

23. The thing to worry about is the sedition caucus trying to affect investigations

Especially the ones where certain Congresscritters might be "persons of interest".
