hoorta Posted November 7, 2018 Report Share Posted November 7, 2018 6 hours ago, JAFBF said: Yep, quite the shocker, not what I expected or was seeing in the trends. I admit, I was wrong on this (will have other comments elsewhere that most folk won't care about). Picked up Senate seats, but lost the House. The Senate controls Presidential appointments (Cabinet etc.) and approval of Supreme Court Justices and other Judicial appointments. Nothing happened to slow down the Supreme Court replacements last night, and POTUS may finally get all the other appointments being held up approved now. Very strange night. Yup, picking up seats in the Senate should mean if there's another opening on the Supreme Court, it should be easier to get a confirmation of another conservative justice. I'd expect another smear campaign from the liberals. Make the fight over Kavanaugh look tame. Ginsburg is 85, does she have another two years left in her? Surprising thing in Ohio all the state offices went straight Republican, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Short answer: he won't be. Did I say anything about being impeached. No I did not. I have called all along to follow due process through the court system. Nunes obstructed the House investigation. However if Trump does end up completing a Sat. Night massacre of the Mueller investigation a la Nixon, then they should launch a thorough hearing for obstruction of justice.

First you had to assume that they lost by more than 1% and there was more than 1% mishandled votes, second he have to assume that they are calling for a recount in the first place. He fell victim to the same thing that every other politician that loses an election falls victim to. But hey I guess it's a win for the unions 😊.

It was not good news for democrats and all those thirsting for a "Blue Wave". This was a huge victory. All the never Trumpers in the Senate are gone..outa here! Trump right up there with Reagan: The most House seats ever lost by a president’s party in power was Obama in 2010. He lost 63. Next was Bill Clinton in 1994. He lost 52. In 1958, Eisenhower lost 48, as did Ford and Nixon in 1974. They lost 48. Lyndon Johnson in ’66, lost 47. Harry Truman in ’46 lost 45 seats. George W. Bush in 2006 lost 30. In 1950, Harry Truman lost 29. Reagan, in ’82, lost 26 seats, and in 2016 Trump is at 27 . In the Senate everyone Obama campaigned for lost. 9 out of the 11 that Trump campaigned for won.

Far sadder: https://www.foxnews.com/politics/senate-gop-fails-in-final-bid-to-block-military-pension-cuts-in-budget-bill A final effort by Senate Republicans to halt cuts to pensions of military retirees failed late Tuesday, after Democrats blocked an amendment to the controversial budget bill. The two-year budget agreement, which cleared a key test vote earlier in the day, was expected to get a final vote no later than Wednesday. Ahead of the final vote, Sen. Jeff Sessions, R-Ala., tried unsuccessfully to use a parliamentary tactic to force a vote on the amendment, which he wrote to undo the cuts for military retirees. A provision in the already House-passed bill would cut retirement benefits for military retirees by $6 billion over 10 years. Sessions wanted to instead eliminate an estimated $4.2 billion in annual spending by reining in an IRS credit that illegal immigrants have claimed. He and fellow senators argued the bill unfairly sticks veterans and other military retirees with the cost of new spending. “It’s not correct, and it should not happen,” Sessions said on the floor. "By blocking my amendment, they voted to cut pensions for wounded warriors," he said afterwards. "Senators in this chamber have many valid ideas for replacing these pension cuts, including my proposal to close the tax welfare loophole for illegal filers, and all deserved a fair and open hearing. But they were denied.” Sessions’ office claimed the vote Tuesday to block the amendment was a vote to "cut military pensions instead of cutting welfare for illegal immigrants."
