We could have had 2 years of peace and quiet [View all]

We could have had 2 years of peace and quiet in Washington DC. If Democrats had just kept control the House. Instead American voters chose chaos over competence. All because the price of gas and groceries were high.

They can't say they weren't warned. House Republicans spelled out exactly what they were going to do if they took back power and had no plans to improve the economy or lower inflation.

If a half a dozen seats had flipped our way we wouldn't be having to endure one self inflicted economic crisis after another and endless sham hearings based on conspiracy theories.

And most importantly the House would be led ny Jeffries, Clark and Aguilera and not Marjorie Taylor Greene, Donald Trump and the most spineless speaker in US history.

America and our allies would have enjoyed 2 years of a functional government. We were so close but here we are... headed for a government shutdown and impeachment of our President based on absolutely nothing.

Hopefully we can get it right in 2024 and vote these MAGA Republicans out of office for good.
