US House of Representatives: Dems have smallest majority since WWII

[NoSavingByTheBell]

Now, this thread is about the US HOuse of Representatives, so I shall bring it back on track

I feel the MOST significant races/results there were the following:

Republican Nancy Mace will beat freshman Democratic Rep. Joe Cunningham in South Carolina’s 1st District.
GOP candidate Stephanie Bice will defeat first-term Democratic Rep. Kendra Horn in Oklahoma’s 5th District.
Republican Michelle Fischbach will prevail over longtime Democratic Rep. Collin Peterson in Minnesota’s 7th District.
GOP candidate Yvette Herrell will win her rematch against first-term Democratic Rep. Xochitl Torres Small in New Mexico’s 2nd District.
Republican Ashley Hinson will defeat first-term Democratic Rep. Abby Finkenauer in Iowa’s 1st District.
GOP candidate Maria Elvira Salazar will beat freshman Rep. Donna Shalala in Florida’s 27th District.
Republican Peter Meijer will win the race to replace Amash over Democrat Hillary Scholten.

Fischbach ran an excellent campaign and was up against a real vicious group of far-left activists, yet still prevailed. I met Fischbach back in January 2020 in Denver, Colorado at a Starbucks, and she is an amazing woman.

Almost forgot: a round of reciprocal recriminations between the House Democratic caucus’ moderate and left-wing factions. Moderates blamed the “defund the police” sloganeering and “socialist” branding from Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and her supporters, which Republicans deployed in swing district attack ads. Ocasio-Cortez shot back by claiming moderate incumbents ran musty campaigns with minimal investment in digital media.

Huh

I'd wager that "defund the police" was a driving factor in it.

Hey Brock. I'm so glad you took off your double-sided mask and we're seeing the true you again.

That Trump-hating charade was frankly a bit pathetic.

Show your true colors man!

Hey Tito, how is defending Trump AND the integrity of the system against what I believe was election fraud and waiting for the litigation to go through the system, taking off a mask and seeing the real me?

Also saying it is a charade, and pathetic, you do realize that is a bit .....?
It's all good, B.

I'll give you one more go but I don't think it will make any difference. I still hate Donald Trump for his cavalier attitude towards the coronavirus and for his reckless cavalier attitude towards Mask wearing since the beginning of this pandemic.

Tito, it isnt good to see things in only black and white. Somehow to you, my defending Trump against what I see as election fraud means my hatred of things that Trump did was a charade. Those 2 positions are not mutually exclusive.

Not sure why you care if I am on a tiny island taking on water.....? Youre the one on a tiny island, B! alt-right?, you're choosing to label my view and that's fine. I just see what appears to be fraud. You don't. I think we're both good with that. A shrinking minority? It doesnt always go by how many people think something, often the "shrinking minority" position has turned out to be right throughout history. Mob rule by a cackling "majority" shouldnt change anyone's opinion. this is not going to be settled in the court of public opinion. I keep telling you that, but you keep saying the same thing here.


On the one hand you "pound the pulpit" talking about letting the courts decide.....and you're pounding your position. Whats the difference?


and on the other you ignore the fact that courts are already throwing out cases one by one. ***the courts that have thrown out cases are local courts, like in the past how many times the 9th circuit of SF threw out so many of Trump's cases. But Trump won many of them afterwards in the Supreme Court. There are several cases moving forward. YOu do know that, right? I think you're really being influenced by the mainstream media, and that is pathetic.

You can talk about voting for Jo... but you defend Trump with a gusto ***You dont seem to understand I am not just defending Trump, I would defend anyone against what I felt was a violation of their rights or against fraud. I am also defending the idea of free and fair elections. My gusto shouldn't be of any interest to you. But I guess I'm flattered??

not seen since the days you wanted Trump to "mow down the toothless peasants at the border." ***wow, great memory, almost as great as Beanz when he digs something up from 3 years ago. YOu're one to talk about violent language lmfao kill someone and piss on their corpse. Hypocritical for sure

Not trying to get into it with you..... but I'm a straight ahead guy with unwavering opinions. ***I never attack your opinions though. Straight ahead guy but with maybe a tiny blind spot that the way in which you keep hammering at my "gusto" and attacking what in YOUR mind is "flip-flopping", is a bit strange. And thats MY unwavering opinion

When I do change my opinion, it's because someone has given me information that I've analyzed and decided it's good enough for me to change my mind.

I'm not a flip-flopper. *** You're also not the judge of others' right to have gusto on any given thing, or of whats "good enough for them" to have their opinions that they have.
But your tone sure comes across like that. ..... and, What did I change my opinion on? I didnt vote for Trump. It is not mutually exclusive to vote for Jorgensen and defend the election process and Trump against what I feel is criminal, widespread fraud. and....you are certainly trying to "get into it with me", so stop lying Tito. It's pathetic.

This lame "mainstream media" line got old years ago. Keep on using it if you like, but it's worthless.

I purposely seek out objective media and gather a consensus among them. You, on the other hand, get your "facts" directly from the slanted media on the other side.

Or did you think biased media exists ONLY on the left side of the ledger?

None of what you're saying changes the fact that you're a flip-flopper. To the EXTREME.

That, of course, is your prerogative.... as is mine to call you out on it.

You don't "hate" Trump, Brock. You love him and always have. Own up to it and admit it.



Look dude... in the end, Trump will have to vacate the White House and frankly I hope the legal system makes his life miserable from here on out.

Between all the shit he's going to have to answer for... and his wife taking him to the cleaners... he won't have time to think about a ridiculous run in 2024.

2024? How could he run in 2024? A person only gets TWO terms for President here, Tito.

You keep implying he won. Fucking hysterical.

In a way, Trump HAS won.

He's won the battle to keep his Minions brainwashed in thinking the election was stolen.

The Kool-Aid is being chugged by the gallons.

[TitoFan]

You continue carrying the torch of someone you "don't like" and "didn't vote for"..... but yet couldn't care less about the defeats he keeps getting in court, the damage he's doing to the country by delaying the inevitable and fueling the divide..... and then you laughingly claim some sort of "objectiveness" where you only care about the voter fraud.

Everyone else is quietly dropping it... but you continue rooting for the "one you don't like and didn't vote for."

This is getting beyond pathetic.

[TitoFan]

Here's the right-leaning Washington Examiner's account of the Georgia recount so far.

https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/p...-further-check


They report that regardless of the total manual recount, Biden is still winning the state. Oh... but they mention the possibility of yet ANOTHER recount.


What... we're gonna keep on recounting until somehow Trump wins?


HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!!!


What a crock of shit!

[NoSavingByTheBell]

Jo Jorgensen should have won. But didn't. And hell yeah I'm rooting for Trump because he won.

[NoSavingByTheBell]

Free and fair elections: every legal vote should be counted, and every illegal vote thrown out. The law is clear. Legal vs illegal. There is no doubt about it.

Now...back to The House of Representatives. {ahem!....}

There is no doubt that the far left lunatics AOC + 3 have dragged the Democratic party further out into a disintegrating position. Losing 12 seats is incredible, and all to women and minorities? WTF. I thought that was their bread & butter.

Hey... I sympathize with you. Many are tired of the same ol' same ol' from the ever-worsening politics of the two main parties. The Democrat Party leaves a LOT to be desired..... and all the Republicans could muster since 2016 is Donald J. Trump.

Not a pretty picture.

But here's the thing. Jo Jorgensen got 1.2% of the popular vote. Not exactly a ringing endorsement.

But there's hope.

Here in P.R., people are pretty much tired of the same ol' same ol' from the same two useless political parties that have traded power for the last 70 years.

So there's been a trend toward new Party representation, with fresh, new candidates.

The following is the percentage obtained by candidates (for governor) NOT from the two main parties, since 2012.

2012: 4.5%

2016: 19.2%

2020: 35.5%

By the next elections, unless the governor-elect gets with the program and shows some true leadership in resolving our many problems..... the handwriting is on the wall.

I've always been a big MVC/PNP man myself; while I support the statehood idea I am also in GREAT support of PROMESA, and trying to get the US to act fairly with that. Lugaro is my gal. Def increase minimum wage and DEF restoring credibility in government institutions is key.

WHo did you vote for?

Done some research have you...

I voted for Dalmau myself. Not for his party ideal mind you... but his qualifications as a leader and a clean record thus far.

The irony of Republicans being the majority is that they wouldn't give a squeeze of a fart that they've been the majority winning 2010, follow up 2014, let alone WWII.
Yet where are the results?
Accountability?

Great Topic- We can attest that this thread is true. Republicans held the driver seat for much of the last 1/2 century and that includes SCOTUS.

[SlimTrae]

It is their party that as a majority introduced the concept of waging a war against terror. Not an army, a country, but an idea.
The greatest fuckup in our lifetime is Iraq ; the unwinnable war on terror - that took lives and in return gave no-bid contracts to right wingers. 17 God-awful years later and they did just like Nam...it aint our fault we're still there.


https://www.businessinsider.com/us-s...report-2019-11

$6 Trillion and counting. Does that mean we can finally hold someone, group accountable? The majority?

To ask: Where did the $6 trillion go?
We're looking to find out about Hunter Biden...OK, he's shady then shed some light, but when ya finish...do any Republican voters give a snot- bubble on who got paid yours, mines, OUR $6 trillion dollars worth of tax loot?

All of it was done with integrity?
Ever Democrat that voted against it was called weak. Cutter and runner. Wavering the course.
Every Democrat that voted for it, was called hawkish, how the F Ya'll work that Jacked up vetting process?

Majority Republicans wanted the war on terror, they got it, now its Bill's fault for not doing it on his watch. And Obama's fault for continuing what Republicans started- a war on a terror.

As a result 2004 Repubs held both House & Senate-There is that word again (Majority) can we hold them accountable for what occurred from 2005-2008?
Probably not.

[SlimTrae]

(2005)Under the Majority Rule of Republicans...America saw the rise of the most millionaires ever!

[SlimTrae]

2008 Under the majority rule of Republicans America saw the greatest loss of millionaire and the greatest filings of bankruptcies surpassing 1929- when Republicans fucked our economy up with the same game of - let the markets work itself & deregulate.

1- Lehman Brothers 2008, $691 billion
2- Washington Mutual 2008, $328 billion
3- WorldCom 2002, $104 billion
4- General Motors 2009 $82 billion
5- CIT Group 2009 $71 billion
7- Enron 2001, $66 billion
8- Conseco 2002, $61 billion

How is it possible that the greatest filing of corporate bankruptcies in America occurred during the years of Republican majority House, Senate -but not their responsibility to answer- what bills did they pass to bring about such results?
And can we be assured they wont pull this same shit again? Or does it only matter when the other party has the majority?


As soon as Democrats took control 2006- IMO it was a revolt of Republican voters that stayed home & not that Dems ran on anything impressive- They would be filibustered to death.
Republican voters had their response: I like gridlock when I dont like the majority in office.
But look at who YOU put in office?

America Lost $10.2 Trillion In 2008- How did that occur?
And if we lost it hell who gained it?

Or, was it B.S. money? Money in theory. Remember by 2009...companies like Harley Davidson laid off workers 1st time in decades their answer was simple- Americans were buying those bikes with credit, not dollars.
Banks aint lending...now we see how their policies are shaped. Is that what Trumpers want again?
Always gotta be left or right Repub or Dem....cant stand the concept that both parties are complicit in the PREVENTION OF A 3RD PARTY CANDIDATE- I will keep saying it until someone responds...and hopefully with facts, not punk ass opinions.
It is a FACT both parties prevent a 3rd option. I have presented the name, links and can do again, but it would be in vein for those who love partisanship.

Democrats had no response for that, let alone a plan.
