🇺🇸 Discussion: Congress, The Senate, The House of Representatives - Part I

Republicans are favored to win the Senate, and Democrats to win the House, in new YouGov model | YouGov

YouGov shows Republicans with a slight edge to control the Senate, and Democrats more likely than not to control the House. This would be a reversal from the current Congress, in which Democrats control the Senate and Republicans control the House.

So nothing still will get done.

The die has yet to be cast, but the senate does look a little bit iffy. I think the house is a done deal. The repubs are going to lose control there.

Kamala can reschedule marijuana so people won't go to jail for it, so that's a win.

So my Montana friend thinks Tester is toast.

I was being kind, but your Montana friend sounds pretty smart. If I'm Harris and I win, I'm giving him a job in my cabinet (Ag or Interior). It's a freaking miracle he's gotten re/elected and is about as good and real a guy as could have possibly gotten into the senate there. I don't see eye to eye with him on everything, but I take him over someone like Manchin without taking a breath.

So.....let me see if I've got this right.....

Kamala Harris showed up yesterday and promised everyone $750. In the midst of the looting, lack of power, shootings, and, ostensively, mass carnage, people filed for this aid and, by the next day, it was denied by the federal government?

Maybe you missed your lot in life and should have been a writer of really, REALLY bad novellas and, just maybe, there are some really stupid or really bad liars in congress. Hmmmmm.....maybe both?
