Republicans still need 13 House seats to maintain control and strangely every single House race that hasn't been called yet are in areas where the democrats like to play games and manufacture votes. If the dems get the house it will be gridlocked to get anything done in the next 4 years and at this point that is all the dems have left.
And I don't think kamala's "concession speech" today was anything but a play for time. The dems are still going to pull something and it wouldn't surprise me in the least if that something is china invading Taiwan. 75 days until Trump is sworn in, they are going to go out in a blaze of glory and leave him with a pile of ashes.

There's no way I can 'like' that post. We need more options.

The walls are closing in on the democrats. 4 more Representatives until the Republicans have the majority. Oregon has one race that both candidates are Republicans so that makes 3 to go. Arizona has 1 with the Republican with a steady lead, that makes 2 to win. Iowa, Colorado have 1 race each with Republican in the lead. And California has 3 left with the Republican leafing though I don't have any hope any of those will be successful as they harvest democrat votes for a week after election day. It is going to be tight.

From what I've read today we now have an absolute majority. 218, I think.

We had that for the first 2 years the last time and what did they do with it? Nothing. Repeal Obummercare? Nope. Fund the wall? Nope. Pass anything pro 2A? Nope. What makes anyone think they'll do anything we want this time? Mitch the Bitch is already conspiring to stop Trump.

So far he seems to be picking most of them from Congress. You can't get more swampy than that.

Not only that, but he's taking Republicans out of both houses, where we need all the support we can get. No guarantee they'll be replaced by Republicans.
