Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

more infighting amongst republicants hopefully means nothing gets done for two years.
what would be really entertaining is a few of them jump ship and vote with the minority... giving the gavel and committee chairs to democrats.

They're not Democrats. They don't campaign on one thing and discover just enough votes to block it.
I worry a lot more about Dems appeasing the GOP at this moment. Unlike Trumps first election, there is now basically no resistance, and there’s already infighting among Democrats. Someone who unites the party must stand up now, or I don’t see any improvement in the midterms.
But we’re in the bad timeline, so a congressional logjam means that he takes lots of executive actions, the bought SCOTUS lets him and Congress can’t pass anything to stop him.
The jumping can happen both ways
This would be the smallest majority since the Hoover administration.
Coincidentally, we're going to have a tariff war just like the Hoover administration. One that sucked so much they named a vacuum brand after it.
(Not really.)
You should add that to the Low Quality Facts community.

We all learned about the Smoot–Hawley Tariff Act in the wildly popular 1986 documentary Ferris Bueller's Day Off. source
its gonna suck so bad they'll name homeless encampments after him!
Trump mansions!
Trump Tower will be what you call the bunk bed you have to get to have another roommate!
Aw man, can't we still call the Sanctuary Districts?
Bell riots are so last season.
What is that margin down to now, by the way? Calling donvict's "win" a landslide is absurd, IMHO. And that's without even engaging in any of the suspicions about the vote...
Last time i checked he was at 50.00% of total votes.
ETA- yeah, AP shows him at 50; her at 48.4.
