This finally puts a check on orange man to keep him from acting on whatever crazy little thought pops into his head. Though I'm not convinced we can win in 2020.

Re: Democrats Take Back House
This was...not great...for Democrats.
They got the House, but lost considerable ground in the Senate. This will make things much harder in 2020. Managed to flip a few state houses. Got a few moral victories. But the Democrats are going to have to do better if they want to start racking up the wins. There are a LOT of Trump voters that don't show up in polls.

Re: Democrats Take Back House
Yeah, so the rumored "blue wave" wasn't as great as it could be. What a shock.

Now what?
Expect a doubling down on the culture war and media witch hunts?

Re: Democrats Take Back House
How do... people in government control that? O.o Anymore than the GOP does with regards to Fox News and Breitbart?
If anything, this just gives Democrats subpoena and veto power over Trump, which is good. We need that kind of check in a democratic system. It also means, according to my mom, they can demand his tax returns. So maybe we'll finally see what's in those? Shit, can we do the same to Bernie Sanders maybe? No, gurargh, we can't upset his small cult this close to 2020... well, if he runs in the next election, can we do it then?

Re: Democrats Take Back House
One person predicted it was this:
* AHC is safe and may get returned to Obama levels of coverage
* The Wall is done
* Immigration laws will be done
But Trump will probably veto anything the Democrats try to do proactive.

Re: Democrats Take Back House
Just as well. Means nothing too damaging will get done by either side.

Well, that's good. That's some progress over the past two years.

Re: Democrats Take Back House
Hey, don't blame me for the puritanical left! I thought they were assholes in 2016, and I can tell they're gonna raise hell in 2020. But they're a minority, same way the hard left fringe is. And again, that doesn't translate to entertainment and news media.
Also, Admiral X, you surprise me. You're a Libertarian. I thought for sure you'd be mourning the GOP loss of control, given this seventeen-year-old I keep harping on who is also a Libertarian, a Libertarian AnCap, is disgusted by this.
