Why, they won’t see much difference other than the Gopers will need a bigger hole to run and hide in.
Any time the stupidest people in the nation are gridlocked is a good time for us normals who just want to be left alone.
Ground Nazi’s gov’t plane.
It was certainly way fun before.
Capture one or both of the political parties in the United States.Oh yes: those big dumb ultra-MAGA types never pick up a book and read; and they certainly have no sense of history, those brutes.

The New Deal, Dean Acheson wrote approvingly in a book called A Democrat Looks At His Party, “conceived of the federal government as the whole people organized to do what had to be done.” A year later, Mr. (Arthur) Larson wrote A Republican Looks At His Party, and made much the same claim in his book for modern Republicans. The “underlying philosophy” of the New Republicanism, said Mr. Larson, is that “if a job has to be done to meet the needs of the people, and no one else can do it, then it is the proper function of the federal government.”
Here we have, by prominent spokesmen of both political parties, an unqualified repudiation of the principle of limited government. There is no reference by either of them to the Constitution, or any attempt to define the legitimate functions of government. The government can do whatever needs to be done; note, too, the implicit but necessary assumption that it is the government itself that determines what needs to be done. We must not, I think, underrate the importance of these statements. They reflect the view of a majority of the leaders of one of our parties, and of a strong minority among the leaders of the other, and they propound the first principle of totalitarianism: that the State is competent to do all things and is limited in what it actually does only by the will of those who control the State. …

Nice that Turtle has already given up on the Senate because his handpicked traitors all lost the primaries. Fire that scumbag too.
If enough MAGA GOPers get elected, McCarthy could also be in for an unpleasant surprise. Here's hoping.
This is pretty normal as we have seen - mid-term elections end up with a divided government as people don’t want to hand one party all the power.
The solution to prevent “divided government” is subsidiarity - i.e. reduce the size and power of the federal government.
Push authority and decision making DOWN — even below states to county level.
Reduce the federal government to 1/10th of its current size - put it in charge of
1. external defense
2. internal negotiations
3. regulations - but not governance - over the states
The very first order of business needs to be to impeach Biden.
Then when the Senate acquits, impeach him again.
Messages must be sent. #1 impeachment is just a political maneuver now. #2 the shampeachments of Trump were never legitimate. 3# The Republicans will actually show some spine for a change.
WADR to that twit Chris Murphy, while I’d like to see a GOP House be able to actually “govern,” I’d be perfectly happy if they could only KEEP BIDEN AND DOCRATS FROM “GOVERNING.”
I just want them to quickly impeach Biden three times.
Since medical science hasn't perfected testicular and spinal transplants for Republicans, there probably won't be much change in the House.
If the GOP fail to pick the right person for Speaker it will be just more of the same
They’ll be just fine. The rinocrats mean the democrats no harm. They’ll have some playtime hearings generating some sound bites where nothing ever happens. Hell, they’ll probably investigate Trump again.
Gosh, how awful. The federal government being more responsible in its spending. That's much preferred to totalitarian Democrat rule.
Not too long ago, The Hill was saying they were going to keep the House.
Now in “The Hill” speak, they are nearly admitting they are going to loose.
Right now, PA is the only Senate seat I am watching.
Good! Cut all the MOOCHERS off! Make 'em work or starve I say.
As far as gridlock, it's a GOOD THING when the Government idiots are too busy fighting amongst themselves that they cannot pass any new laws that restrict our freedoms!
Let 'em fight!
Sen. Chris Murphy (Drama Queen - CT)
Job one. McCarthy better kick off many of the radical Democrats on committees. If he doesn’t do that, he’ll be a disaster. If the Senate Stays democrat, they’ll just appoint judges the whole two years which will screw the country beyond belief. They already appointed more judges than any president in history in the last two years.
As long as the first order of the day is investigating and impeaching the Biden Crime family.
If the Republican don’t get control of the house the voters are as guilty as Biden by allowing him to complete his agenda.
