I Foresee A Lot Of Hostage Taking In The House

[g5000]

The Republicans have exactly what they need for a majority, and not a single seat more.

This means any performative asshole can hold the entire party hostage over a bill until they get some expensive taxpayer-funded pork for themselves.

Even worse, Trump has nominated some House members to other jobs, meaning the Republicans won't even have majority rule for some time.

For example, Governor DeSantis has had to order a special election to replace Matt Gaetz and Mike Walz in the House. That's two Republican seats which are going to take some time to fill.

Hakeem Jeffries will be in the catbird seat until then. And if a freshman Republican congressman turns out to be Santos 2.0, Jeffries will be sitting pretty for some time.

I have a feeling MAGA Mike is going to be running around fellating a lot of weasels for the next two years.

Just a guess. We'll see.

Actually, the powers that be will simply show them the dirt they have on them from epslime, and Diddy, and they will shut their traps and do what they're told.

It will be interesting to see if the Dems help Johnson keep his job. Equally....it will be interesting to see if the "principled" resistance of the freedom caucus is quelled by the blob's election. One things for sure...Trump will play a lot more golf in term two than in term one.

Good.

Pelosi told incoming Democrats to never give Republicans a win EVER, even if it helps their own constituents.

Pubs need to talk the gloves off and play rough. House and Senate.

Fuck the Dems.

/—-/ Yeah, I think appointing sitting congressmen wasn’t a good idea even if he thought they were the best.

I'll be stunned if those gas bags in Congress get anything done.
