Idiot still cannot react to defeat except through insults and threats.

WASHINGTON —
President Donald Trump on Wednesday celebrated Senate Republican gains in the midterm election but immediately threatened Democrats, who won back control of the House and with it the power to investigate the president's personal and professional conduct.

Trump has long felt aggrieved by the special counsel's investigation into Russian interference in the 2016 presidential election. He took to Twitter the morning after the split election outcome for the GOP to put Democrats on notice about their threats to investigate him and the administration. Democrats are also interested in Trump's tax returns, which he has declined to make public.

The Dems need to start speaking out as a party in unison to try and flip the narrative that they need to find a way to pay for each and every cent in any bills they want to pass, while the GOP gets play dress up as the fiscally responsible party, all while actually being the ones swiping the credit card (to funnel money back to those who funneled it to them). It's nothing more than irresponsibility masquerading as the moral high ground, and it needs to stop pre-2020.
