I think it's *somewhat* safe to say nothing crazy happen will happen during the lame duck period

Don't quote me on it though.

I just think that Trump is not doing himself any favors by attempting to humiliate the losing congresspeople on TV. I wouldn't send him any legislation to sign, but that's just me.

It looks like the House has a total of 16 days in session until the end of the year. I'm happy it is only that many days.

this is because they may pass infrastructure bill which will stimulate economy short and long term and will create tons of jobs for which trump will take all the credit for 2020 reelection...

And the ability to pass something horrible that can be passed in the Senate and signed into law by Comrade Dumbass. We cannot count ourselves safe yet! I look for them to move on SS, Medicare and Medicaid. I'd be willing to bet they have something ready to go right now.
