" The first committee to get a drastic change should be that kangaroo court they called J6 Insurrection Investigations.

Secondly, there should be no trace or a hint of power sharing nonsense because of the close numbers. Not one bit of that nonsense.

actually, the dems have only 218 seats right now - but let’s talk about the ‘thin margin’ the GOP has.... /s

Hopefully Adam Schiff and his little buddy Eric Swalwell will no longer be a members of the Intel committee.

+1. That little sh*t has NO business on that committee...

Republicans can lead by 400 seats and it will still be a Lucy and the Football moment

Yep the rats let ‘em have it for numerous reasons. They could easily have stolen a few more races bank it.

whether unyielding far-right members will make the new speaker’s life miserable and the House an unmanageable mess.

How 'bout the far left RINOs?

The Uni-Party is firmly in control of the House.

I’ll take “Not a Chance” for $2,000.

What a name you have...civilwarbrewing...did you GRAB THAT GUN and head to the nearest statue that was being torn down?

Did you GRAB THAT GUN during the first coup?

Did you GRAB THAT GUN during the 2nd coup?

Did you GRAB THAT GUN during the forced lockdown?

:)

change the name. Too Many here have been shown to have wasted my time talking big for 20 years while doing nothing when it mattered.

The dems didn’t LET the Rs win.

Grow up

The Republicans will have roughly the same margin of majority the democrats do now.

I don’t remember the media once pointing out what a small majority they had.

At this point the only matter that really matters is securing the election system. But because of federalism and liberal judges I don’t see how it can be done. The idea of a chain of custody is apparent in all other democracies. In Canada, I am handed my ballot, I go behind a screen and select the candidate, come back and the person there folds it for me, then watches me insert it into a paper box. The idea that I could vote on behalf of another person is ridiculous.

They probably have better grammar, that’s for sure.

House republicans headed by Kevin McCarthy could fu*k up a one car funeral.

Jim Jordan, yes. Not with McCarthy. McCarthy is lazy and stupid. Sorta like Gavin Newsom.

No. They should at least try to undo everything the dems have done over the last two years. Open up drilling and close the border.
