Never. Even with the gains they made they are nowhere near controlling the House and given the setup of the country probably never will. The Senate can't start Impeachment Proceedings.
I mean they could definitely try and make all kinds of other stupid fuss, but they can't impeach. |

Looking forward to him calling Putin "Satan" and Merkel "my mother".
Seriously, I believe it when I see it. |

Yup. It's totally Biden's fault that 240,000 Americans have died of Covid. And I guarantee you they'll say that.

Fellow Biden voters: What sort of executive actions would you like to see in the first week or so?

I repeat the daring prediction I made in another thread;
Biden's choice for Secratary of the Interior is going to be from a Western State. |

Biden needs to negotiate with Putin to get ahold of the pee hookers video.

Through the miracle of science, we now have the ability to read news articles from the future, so we can see how well Biden's presidency is doing...
From: MSNBCNN - Feb2023 Republican senators under senate majority leader Mitch McConnell have once again rejected Biden's latest nominee, leaving him with absolutely no Cabinet members. The lack of a functional cabinet has impacted Biden's ability to deal with a government shutdown, now entering its third year, after attempts to address government funding in December 2020 fell through. Repeated attempts to negotiate a solution to the government funding problem have been unable to reach a compromise, as congressional tea partiers have indicated that the deficit is the most important issue ever, and has always been. A GOP spokesman has stated that "We have offered a compromise... either Biden can resign and turn the government over to republicans, or we can leave the government shut down". |

You actually thought Trump would win? I'm sorry, Wowbagger, but I'm going to have to recommend you to the Truth and Reconciliation Committee. PS. I guess I shouldn't be surprised from the guy who thinks that the Box graphics of Windows/95™ is/was the epitome of all Microsoft Windows™ box graphics. |

Biden presidency will be simple. For at least two yeas, republicans will permaobstruct him and their biggest effort will be thinking up how to blame democrats for republican's obstructionism and scream how Biden is doing nothing.
USA continues to rot. |

When Obama took office Mitch McConnell said the sole function of his US Senate would be to make him a one-term president. You can't get much more obvious than that. And don't forget the Trump Effect: Trump will be screaming about every cabinet appointment as radical left socialists. They still need to be afraid of him for a while.
Seriously, Biden could nominate Rudy Giulianni for AG and Trump and the R's would have a fit about how liberal he is. Nominated. |
