(3,423 posts)Was his life "hell" the last two years?
People on food stamps, and migrant workers, and Headstart kids, and Gays and Trans people in the military will be living in misery and in large part House Democrats won't be able to do much about it.
More hyperbole put out to make us feel better, I fear.

(27,953 posts)It will take a three seat pickup to take back the house
but its 220-215 (with the caveat that theyll have a few vacancies for several weeks)
As for those that dont go along - we have some of those too
and the ones that had previously been a problem were on the MAGA side trying to keep moderates from cutting deals with the senate or white house democrats. That isnt an issue any longer
Its going to be tight for both sides

(39,502 posts)And Hakeem is exactly the right man of The People to do just that.
Like Harry Truman said, " I never did give anybody hell. I just told the truth and they thought it was hell."
Pretty sure we saw this news last month? Thanks, though, because it bears repeating.
