This is business as usual for a 2nd term POTUS entering his final 2 years. His party always loses the mid terms and very little changes or gets done in the final 2 years.
I'm old enough now to have seen this play out over and over and over again.
Trump will veto anything they want to pass, they will start up a ton of investigations that will have dead ends.

Democrats are such stupid evil people that think they can get Trump on anything.
Especially the misdemeanor that they upgraded to a felony and repeated the charge 34 times.
I f***ing hate Democrats.
I hate them all.

Many on the wrong side of the 80/20 issues this time around.
The Washington Examiner? I trust nothing out of D.C. ever. Allegiances there spin on the head of the corporate buck. Next?
And Eric, the incumbent didn't always lose midterms. It's just been that way ever since corporate PAC money entered the system. They profit from gridlock and by keeping the public at each other's throat. If we are fighting among ourselves we'll never reinstate the anti-trust legislation that FDR rightly suspended to streamline the prosecution of WWII. Had FDR survived the war the suspension which was to be temporary would have been lifted and corporate multinationals would never have come into being let alone threatened the integrity of our elections which they now buy by dwarfing the funds that come from the private sector. Korea, then Viet Nam, then pick your undeclared war in whatever conflict and we are all encouraged to keep the anti-trust legislation from being restored. That is why every generation has some chickenshit conflict in some country filled with Camel dung or in one where malaria is the country's #1 killer to keep the now global cabal in business. Toss in the Federal Reserve which used Viet Nam to rape the American Taxpayer and drive the national debt up and you have your two culprits or better stated the two headed beast that threatens not only freedom in the U.S. but any hope of it in the world.
Meanwhile our citizens think it is about red vs blue, lib versus conservative, or about what you do with your private parts. The whole political dog and pony show is merely a distraction from the real threat which isn't Putin, not really Islam though they are against all of it and us and is only applicable to Xi as China is truly a fascist state posing as a communist one and its committee representatives are all CEOs. There's your "Novus Ordo Seclorum" as advertised by the Federal Reserve on the back of your dollar bill.

Peter Laffin seems (I could be wrong) to be a credible, experienced and respected journalist.

I'mma gonna bold the importance of his post ... either listen, or pivot ... it matters naught ... there's a reason they DO NOT TEACH THIS SHITE!!!
I basically understand JR's overall point, Stink, I was simply noting that he might not want to be fully dismissive of the assessment from Laffin. Maybe he wasn't (the Laffin piece clearly was not the thrust of JR's argument).

fair enough ... however, it's difficult to read between and state such with a knowledge base that is unparalleled ... JR has the ability to sift thru the bs ... that's the matter of scope, brother...

You need to own the rage part. I am not the one talking about how I hate everyone on the other side. How can I hate you when you make me laugh this much?

Yep. And the stock market usually does pretty good in that scenario because of the Congress stalemate.
