The good news in the aftermath

The results are in and the House has changed hands. In the aftermath, democrats plan to make Trump’s life a living hell:



But few Democrats want to actively talk about impeaching Trump, whether it’s on Capitol Hill or on the campaign trail. For many, the issue is a nuisance and a distraction from more serious matters. Senior leadership has also repeatedly cautioned against impeachment, warning that it would only deepen partisan squabbling in Congress.

Instead of impeachment, Democrats plan to tighten the screws by mounting an investigative blitz against the White House and Russian interests.

Don’t believe it. There will be a movement to impeach Trump and that could actually help Trump. It certainly didn’t hurt Clinton and America has no appetite for it.

According to two sources close to the House Intelligence Committee, who requested anonymity to speak freely about post-election plans, Democrats plan to focus a significant amount of energy on reopening the panel’s now-shuttered investigation into Russian interference in the 2016 election, and whether members of the Trump campaign colluded with Moscow to tilt the race in his favor.

Right. They’re going to find something Mueller could not?

Democrats also plan to reintroduce legislation safeguarding the integrity of the FBI’s ongoing Russia investigation by protecting key figures like special counsel Robert Mueller and Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein. Moreover, they want to bring legislation protecting future elections from foreign influence by countering nation-state sponsored cyberattacks and disinformation campaigns.

They can introduce all they want. They have neither the Senate nor the White House. Of two Houses, the Senate is by far of greater importance. Trump will be able to keep on appointing judges and stifle democrat legislation. The GOP can expect a torrent of subpoenas.

I just watched that nitwit Ted Lieu say democrats plan to hold hearings on Trump’s use of his cell phone. PLEASE do that.

One thing I find curious are polls regarding the direction of the country and the economy. Paradoxically, in a Rasmussen poll 53% think the country is going in the wrong direction but 53% approve of the way Trump is handling the economy.

The more democrats harp on Trump investigations the more sympathetic Trump will become. He will be able to parlay that into victimization status for 2020. So although the House fallen to the dark side, do not fear.

55% fear a coming recession. If dems do as I expect and block Trump’s plans, there will be blame to assign.

The news is hardly all bad. In fact, much of it is terrific. The Kavanaugh effect was in full force. Many of the democrats on the Judiciary panel who ripped into Brett Kavanaugh were shown the door. And that’s not all.

Taylor Swift continued her propensity for poor judgment in men.

 

One wonders if she’ll write a song about how Bredesen broke her heart.

Beyonce lost.

Oprah lost.

Beto (who got Beato) blew through $70 million, mostly from East and West coast elites.

Gillum (who I must say was very gracious in defeat) went through $50 million.

Now let’s put some of this in perspective. The average loss by the party in power in the mid terms is 29 seats. In this election, 39 Republicans left their seats. 26 retired from Congress outright, 3 from the Senate. 10 left their seats for other offices. These were the people who were regularly re-elected, leaving weaker candidates to run. 34 GOP seats were lost. At least 3 seats were gained in the Senate.

All in all, pretty darned good.

It’s been suggested by at least one democrat that the party focus on legislation and not investigation.

Don’t bet on it. In return, Trump has promised similar investigations:

 

Now, sit back and watch democrats overplay their hand and squander the next two years.

I appreciated the concession speech of FLA’s Andrew Gillum.
He spoke about his mom dropping him off (on her way to work) at his grandmothers house.
Then his grandmother always prayed for his good attention and success as he left for school.
Lovely.

It would be nice if you wouldn’t link to posts that are behind paywalls such as the WSJ’s.

@Petercat: Doesnt that burn our biscuits pay walls no access if you put up privacy firewalls ect.
The Press conference today the press totally beclowned themselves, passes need to be pulled.

And now that Sessions has resigned, perhaps we’ll start getting some indictments to really throw a wrench into their “investigations”.

@another vet: Its not a wrench we need exposing the investigations were launched to persue a person not investigate a crime, declassification will reveal it all, I fear Sessions has allowed destruction of evidence, I hate to think the swamp sucked him in, but he does have a family.

@kitt: I liked Sessions. He did a good job with illegal immigration and human trafficking but but was in over his head dealing with the Swamp. He had that kind, Southern gentlemanly persona. The coupsters and their swampy protectors are ruthless and need to be dealt with by a person who is even more ruthless and aggressive as they are.

The best news is: millions of Americans can rest easy knowing they will not lose their health insurance.

@Gary Miller: Pay and Pay and Pay some more watch your cash go out the door,increase the premium increase the deductible, no competition no choice, at least I no longer have to not buy it and still subsidize your ass with my tax return. Robbing the elderly of 700 billion, ya cool program.

Even with all the losses, I actually have to agree that all and all, Rs came out pretty good.

But what they’ve lowered themselves to be in order to minimize their asskicking is telling. We saw a sitting president take hatred, fear and outright lies to an unseen level. Willie Horton was kid’s stuff.

The major news network FOX openly identified themselves as Trump and Friends, and took an entirely new low in promoting an agenda rather than news.

And some of the wins of the Party of Trump was a white nationalist, an avid white supremacist, an indicted crook, and a dead pimp.

And trump punks like Dr John gloats?

@Gary Miller:

The best news is: millions of Americans can rest easy knowing they will not lose their health insurance

and their social security, and medicare, and medicaid, and another huge tax giveaway to Trump and friends.

@kitt:

Even a recent Fox News poll puts approval of the Affordable Care Act at 54% so I don’t know what on earth you are getting at. Residents in states who got behind the program early and supported it are not about to easily give it up. Even Trump, after seeing recent polls, says he’s in favor of maintaining protections for pre-existing conditions. Problem is, the GOP has tried nearly a dozen times to gut those protections, The public is not having any of this nonsense.

Just a bit of advice, Kitt. Perhaps you should attempt to learn how to actually construct a sentence and write proper English before expecting anyone to take your gibberish seriously.

@Gary Miller: OOOooo a grammar policeman. Perhaps you should stop pushing for everyone to be a burden on society. Theft from the fund that the elderly paid into their entire lives. I really dont care about the lying polls, it was designed to fail, so now they push medicare for all which means further confiscation of citizens earnings. Like in England they will decide if you live or die, you become chattel of the state, only get what treatment is allotted by the state. Fool we warned you it was coming, its here, and you still stand like a deer in headlights.

In Texas, white people voted for the Cuban and people of color voted for the white man.
White people are such racists!

At least now it’s white men and women that are the racists. I don’t feel so marginalized any more.

@kitt: #12
Don’t know what his problem is. I understood you quite well.
Maybe he’s one of those overedumacated idjuts?

I think we could all use a laugh right now:

@Petercat: What would edward scissorshands do for umm er an adjustment if he cant manspread? It is nice to see the Dems are so inclusive of the mentally challanged, they even elected Cortez.
And for our troll where is tall man? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xlow12sSdmc

If democrats talk about impeachment, then it would be a gift to Trump for his 2020 reelection campaign.

And so the voter fraud begins:
