Jeffries outlines ‘first 100 hours’ plans when the Dems have a House Majority a year from January. You can imagine the list. I wonder if he is aware any Bill that his caucus agrees to still has to need 60 Senators to agree? And if that happens he needs Trump to agree! Unless he has 2/3 of both chambers. It’s just Democrat bluster as usual. Whether you agree with what they WANT to do or not, a 10 seat majority doesn’t give you the power to do whatever you want. It certainly is better than he has it now as the minority party.

As I’ve posted before, it’s really hard to imagine anything getting done with Jeffries/anyone/Trump.

WTF
Dem derangement syndrome on full display
The most pressing issues of the day is to STOP Trump from damaging the country
Open your EYES
WE NEED TO STOP THIS ABSURD WAR
WE NEED TO STOP THE TARRIFF WAR WITH CANADA
WE NEED TO STOP DEMANDING GREENLAND
WE NEED TO STOP THE DEMOLITION OF THE KENNEDY CENTER
WE NEED TO STOP RUINING LIVES JUST BECAUSE TOUCHED THE REFLECTING POOL
WE NEED TO ARREST ANY ICE AGENT THAT MURDERED AMERICAN CITIZENS
WE NEED TO STOP OUR TROOPS FROM DYING FOR ISRAEL
WE NEED TO STOP ALL TARRIFFS THAT ARE DESTROYING OUR FARMS
WE NEED TO STOP ARRESTING TRUMPS POLITICAL OPPONENTS
WE NEED TO STOP DEFUNDING THE VETERANS ADMINISTRATION
ECT ECT ECT

You can go back nearly two decades and re-read my posts (started over at WoV) lauding when at least one of House/Senate/Presidency differs in party control from the other two. Best result would be slight Dem house majority, 50/50 Senate requiring just one Senator to align with Dems, all to keep Trump in check. As terapined often says, get the popcorn out.


I disagree. I want my governemnt-at all levels-to work and solve problems. That can't happen if there is gridlock. Give me Dems in control of the WH and Congress any day of the week to the exclusion of all other scenarios.

My experience is that when one party is unchecked it doesn’t go well.

Answering terapined, not arguing with your points, but they are irrelevant to my point. That single control of the House by a few votes still means Trump has to sign any bill you want to become law. I’ll be eating popcorn waiting for Jeffries to come up with ONE such bill.

Maybe Donny and whomever is in charge in the Senate can do their jobs and come up with bills that will pass Jeffries and the House.

Give me Dems in charge any day fo the week and twice on Sundays. I want work getting done and no gridlock.

Any honest person has to say that even it is the party he supports... I can say that . But I have observed diehard Dims never admit that

I'm a diehard Dem voter and will admit that, on balance, more things go better than worse when Dems run the table in elections. Not always, but way more often than not.
