GOP Relieved to Lose Power So They Can Get Back to Talking About What They’d Do If They Had Power​

WASHINGTON, D.C. — Republican lawmakers expressed a sense of relief Wednesday following their party’s apparent loss of congressional power, welcoming the opportunity to return to the familiar and considerably less demanding role of emphatically explaining what they would do if they were in charge.
“We’re excited to get back to talking about the things we believe in,” said one Republican senator, who spent much of the afternoon outlining an ambitious legislative agenda that he acknowledged would have been difficult to implement while Republicans controlled both chambers of Congress.

I predict a total shit show.

Seems like a safe bet.

Called it.

Blood bath lol. Seen it a mile away, that’s what happens when you break most campaign promises.

Two things did this. The war in Iran and cost of living. The same thing happened to the Dena last time. The same thing could happen next time to the Dems if prices don’t go down. The main thing was those two things. Trump is stupid and ruined it. The big question is was it on purpose?

 

[Saltwater60]

I’m a bit disappointed in the NYS race for governor. Blakeman got spanked. He’s losing right now by 21%. This doesn’t even put Hochul on notice that nys is moving in the wrong direction. This to me in fact pushes her further to where she’s been going. We be screwed.
We added another terrorist to the government and a fake pastor in Texas.
So we will have another two years of nothing getting done nationally with Dems in change and Trump as president. How long before the impeachment papers are signed because they are already drawn up.
Oh and BTW this just green lit the French riots to come here so expect that.

Perhaps most directly impactful on a local level in Erie county, Mickey Kerns appears to have lost. This is bad news for anyone who owns pistols. Say what you want about NY, but I felt like Kerns did he is best to make the process "easy" for us and even setup satellite offices outside of downtown.

I highly doubt the D will do that. Things won't be easier.

The thing is, the results are semi similar. It makes me think the elites do have some unified goals. That a lot this is a little pantomime.

Under Biden we lost freedom, gained inflation, and got crushed under weight of costs.


Under Trump this second time, you could argue it's all the same playbook.

 

[Drinkthekoolaid]

AP declares Hochul as victor in NYS. This sucks. It’s a joke. 13% reporting and nothing finalized yet, but she wins.

Because NY is such a lost cause they know it.

CTV News in Latvia: Canadian soldiers in defensive battle-ready position near the Russian border​

REZEKNE, Latvia - For the first time ever, NATO’s entire Canadian-led military brigade stationed in Latvia is deploying east this week, near the border of both Russia and Belarus.
The base in Adazi is home to roughly 3,000 soldiers from 14 NATO nations, out of which approximately 2,000 are members of the Canadian Armed Forces. Nearly all of them are taking part in this week’s mass mobilization of troops east.
“Back when we began leading NATO presence in Latvia in 2017, we were in a reassurance posture that evolved to a deterrence posture and now we’re in a ready-to-defend posture,” says Lt.-Col. Mailloux.

Folks what would it take for NATO to enter the war against Russia. ? Ukraine patch together a few Russian drones and somehow they get sent against this deployment. ... I know crazy talk from a MAGA supporter.

No. The avg NY voter is in fact retarded that's why we are in this mess in the first place.

I stand by this.

I was watching some exit interviews of random NY voters. They were like, "yes I voted for hochul for change"

I'm thinking, you stupid fucking moron you want change but you just cast your vote for the fucking uni-party driving this state into the ground faster than a plummeting Lear jet. You are a fucking idiot.

There were countless similar interviews and answers.


NY is truly full of retards, and I don't say that lightly, I actually rarely ever say that word. I don't like the link to people who are living with mental disabilities, it's not fair to them. But in this case it's appropriate.

There are many who are fearful of exactly this scenario.

There is a thought that Ukraine is desperate to get NATO into the party and "the ends justify the means".

No Russian.

There are many who think western Europe and NATO are itching for justification or provocation to get involved to distract their countries from their internal failings and social conflicts.


Yes, dangerous times indeed.

Yes. On purpose. Can’t convince me otherwise. Same with Abbott, Abbott claims that this will be the end of the white men in Texas, well maybe don’t fucking import a bunch of rag head indians into your state?

Vance has no shot of winning 2028. Republicans will be extremely lucky to have a majority by 2032. Bush fucked the republicans over for 10 years because he was a wartime president and now Trump will become a wartime president. What will Vance say if he decides to run? “We had the majority and we got nothing done and let democrats win by a historic sweep because we broke our campaign promises”? GOP will need a different face, and I don’t think Rubio would win either unless he plays stupid and acts like he was against the war in Iran.

The America First’ers made sure Trump and the GOP would be punished for their actions, I said this over and over that it’ll happen but a lot of folks here think Trump is doing great and the truth is, he is not.

Im curious to see how many republicans voted compared to the presidential election. Two things happened if I haven’t said it already, republicans voted blue to punish GOP or they just didn’t show up.

A lot of far right podcasters pushed for republicans to vote blue

Over population, start a war.
Money tight, start a war.
This way if NATO gets involved (WWIII full on) in the end what ever is left over can be reset at zero; problem solved, if you are the " elite " live through it and have something the overlords like/need that they need you or they will just take it from you.

This is the correct response to that statement.
Then we added another terrorist to our government ranks. As if what’s happening in Europe isn’t a warning sign enough? I don’t get it. I truly don’t get it.

And if anyone says all we need is more gun owners to vote they can’t do simple math. I’m not sure why this lie gets perpetuated over and over and over again Blakemen lost by over a million votes. A few more conservative gun owners won’t be helping that.
Get ready and buckle up for NYS to become London.

 

[Drinkthekoolaid]

I don't know. They seemed like real genuine morons. It would be hard to act that convincingly.

Maybe. But regardless it doesn't change the fact that is how some people think.


Republicans got absolutely hammered and it's their own fault. As usual they get elected into office and forget what they campaigned on. This time, their voters didn't forget they stayed home.

in light of that, its going to be interesting to see if the war on Iran calms down now . I gotta ask, Was the war used partly to drop the GOP numbers down.
or is it still a massive threat to the united states? because Im thinking things will quiet down now , mission accomplished .

I think the war started because that was in the best interest of the donors and the deep state. I think Iran knew they could swing the election as well if they kept fuel costs up. Iran was never a threat like they made them out to be, let’s be real. The threat are the tiny hats in the Middle East that just ruined our country.

John Thune Vows That ‘Senate Republicans Will Not Stand Idly By’ as Democrats Unwind Republican’s Accomplishments​

“As we head into 2027, Senate Republicans will not stand idly by as the far-left, socialist wing of the Democrat Party attempts to unwind everything we’ve done,” Thune continued. “Thankfully, we still have President Trump in the White House, and we’ll work with him to stop the worst impulses of Democrat extremism. We cannot let their fringe positions become the mainstream.”

Dumbasses who sat home because they didn't get every single thing they wanted from the Republicans.

Also... don't worry guys. Nothing will get done for the next 2 years but the politicians on all sides will be extremely successful and united in continuing to raise your taxes and milking you dry.

No, politicians betrayed their voters, they did this. They were taught a lesson for the next decade. Theres a difference between trying to fix something and not being successful vs not trying at all or completely doing the opposite.

US job postings jumped sharply in September, potentially a good sign for anyone seeking employment​

U.S. job openings jumped to 7.5 million from a revised 7.19 million in August, the Labor Department reported Tuesday. It is the largest number of openings since May and up from a recent low of 6.9 million in March.
“It’s an encouraging sign that despite all the headwinds right now with high diesel and gas prices and ongoing inflation problems, companies are slowly increasing their hiring,” Heather Long, chief economist at Navy Federal Credit Union, said.
Job openings rose the most in professional and business services, which includes high-paying jobs in engineering and accounting, as well as jobs in the temp industry. Manufacturers, shipping firms, and state and local governments also advertised for more workers.
