GOP adds to the Senate, Dems take the House

As of this writing, very early Wednesday morning, that's the wash.

The Demorats took the House, 217 to 195, and the GOP gained three seats in the Senate.

Both sides will claim victory. And both sides had a victory to claim. Of sorts.

The LDAMM will declare "the people" provided them with a "mandate." The mandate will be to "get Trump." Impeachment, obstruction, Russia, the theme won't change. It's beyond tedious. It's simply mindless. But hell, the Dems won, it's their game to play. And play it they will.

Mark my words, it is this game that will be their undoing two years from now in 2020. As everyone knows, it's easy to be the second sled dog barking at the first. But as the first sled dog, the House Dems will have to actually do something. What will they do?

Correct. Raise taxes, increase government and create more regulations. And:

House Dems Already Have Their List of Trump Scandals to Investigate. Here It Is.

by David Corn The subpoenas are coming. Here comes the flood. With the Democrats having won control of the House of Representatives, President Donald Trump and his crew in the White House and assorted federal agencies can expect to be hit by a wave of investigations and subpoena requests from Capitol Hill. There are dozens of House committees and subcommittees, and each no doubt has its own to-do list. The House Intelligence Committee, under the chairmanship of Rep. Adam Schiff (D-Calif.), will certainly revive aspects of the Trump-Russia probe that House Republicans smothered. The House Foreign Affairs Committee surely will consider examining the Trump-Saudi relationship in light of the grisly murder of Jamal Khashoggi. You can bet the Homeland Security Committee will investigate the Trump administration’s family-separation policy, and the Armed Services Committee will examine whether there was any reason for Trump to send 15,000 troops to the border to deal with a migrant caravan.

What a lovely precedent they are setting. I can work with it. Because I am likewise done with any attempt whatsoever at being "conciliatory" or invoking "compromise" or "bipartisanship." Isn't it odd that "bipartisanship" only occurs when the GOP acquiesces to the LDAMM? Then and only then "all is well."

However, one very unsettling thing: there was no "Blue Wave" as promised. Customarily, on "off" years, the opposing party garners huge gains. Not this time -- despite the Demorats having out-raised the GOP in terms of sheer dollars. A veritable tsunami promised. Instead, the flushing of a couple hundred toilets. And therein lies the rub. A few points: The House won't get anywhere, really, absent the Senate. Oh, the Dems'll crow about various items and that doddering

Botoxed Skeletor will be Speaker. One must admit a very important thing. Nancy Pelosi, grooming herself back as speaker once again (eyes left) is nothing if not entertaining.

 

They'll sit on committees and yell at traffic, then stare at the sun for a few hours a day clutching their copies of The Little Red Book.

Some things never change. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, Corey Booker and Adam Schiff will still have googly-eyes. Damn, they creep me out.

But make no mistake. My purpose has not changed nor will it. I exist as PUSHBACK for the countless hours that exist in the day wherein the LDAMM confiscate your eyeballs and your eardrums and stuff falsehoods into both. They inject you with soothing, lathered amounts of Free Cheese in hopes of acquiring your vote via your naivete. Let's be plain: your ignorance.

The racist Demorats have no use for you cultured brown people. Blacks. Hispanics. You've been proven to be unreliable. In Demorat eyes, you're either a useful tool or an obstacle.

American blacks and Hispanics will continue to be obstacles. Illegal immigrants of all stripes are the next Big Thing in terms of a groomed Demorat Monolithic Voting Bloc.

Fake News is, in fact, the enemy of the people. Like CNN. MSNBC, et al. For those Leftists,

Demorats and American Media Maggots who believe you've achieved a wonderful victory? Final words:

Dear Leftists, Demorats, American Media Maggots:

1. Donald Trump is still president.
2. We control the Senate. Not just a wee bit, but bigly.
3. Your control of the House means roughly nothing.
4. If in doubt, see #1 through #3 above.

Much love,
