and don't understand as much as I did in younger years.......

BUT

Am I incorrect in thinking that we LOST our MAJOR tool when we lost the Majority in the House???????????

Seriously, I am truly trying to understand the bigger picture when many are gloating over our "Success" and Mocking the Republicans..........

I can only think about the impending Republican House Majority and what they will begin to do on January 21st......

Can others out there help me understand how I am misunderstanding?????....I am being sincere..........

Between a 240-250 seat republican House majority (which they were predicting with a red wave) and a 220-222 majority.

basically the trite statement "it could have been worse" scenario......

But the net/net still remains, that they have the majority in the House and control of all the things that go along with it.....

Maybe it will become clear on Jan 21st, 2023, when they unleash all the horrors that they are already planning and broadcasting that they are going to do with Control of the House.......

I can't tell you how many times, in the last 4+ years I have said: They Can't Do That.......and yet here we are.....

I gotta tell you, I feel the same way about the Senate. It doesn't matter that we have a 50/50 when TWO dems are Senema and Munchkin voting a straight Republican ticket......
