Sorry but that is highly unlikely. Convincing GOP members of Congress would not be easy. Those Representatives are all up for election in 2 years and siding with a Democrat administration against the House GOP leadership would be political suicide. Case in point, Liz Cheney and Adam Kinzinger, the poster kids for going against your own party. I think they are Walmart greeters somewhere. Biden and his handlers could barely convince one of their own, Sen. Joe Manchin let alone GOP Congress people.

Still, obviously it happens, else you would have totally deadlocked political system crisis every two years, lasting for two years. Now, with the polarization present, right this is a big problem - and still in congress and senate at least the very absolute indispensable compromises were worked out.
You cannot live without that. Compromises. Give and take. Probably more relevant in senate, however, but still. If it would not be true what I said, you wouldn't have a budget currently, but a lockdown on all state spendings. What prevented this: inter-party cooperation to find a compromise. Works very comparable in Germany with both chambers we have, Bundestag and Bundesrat.

Besides, Joe is probably going to be wondering what a GOP led House might do to him.

Whereas the left wing Social Democrat Party relies heavily on the pro Russian former East Germans for support. Their goal, if you look at Scholz’s history in politics and political associations is to dissolve NATO entirely. Answers the question why Scholz had to be prodded and publicly embarrassed before he lended assistance to Ukraine. Look up the history of these Germans and Russians pictured below and their known associations. It’s a who’s who of Russian puppets, fascists, back stabbing criminals and pedophiles. Most likely reason why we, namely the U.S., is having to support Ukraine now. The Left wing German Socialist Party and the pro Russian AfD spend their days calling each other communists and national socialists just like Germans did in the 30’s before Hitler came to power. But regardless when Germans get together with Putin there will be a war. This is why NATO is still around, it’s mission as outlined by Hasting Ismay can never change.

Thank you. It proves my point. We're not a collection of relatively small minded quarrelsome nations with separate languages and cultures who have been at war with each other with hardly a break since Roman times and pretending we are anything like you is going to be wrong every time. Europeans have been gleefully prognosticating our imminent doom ever since our country was created. You haven't been right yet, not in over two centuries. I don't expect the current speculation will be any more accurate.

Really? Care to show me where are Trumps Brownshirts? Where are the Jewish pogroms, the Concentration camps, the wars of territiorial expansion, ANYTHING the real facists actually did?
It's a false comparison and you know it. It also violates the Godwins law you people like to cite. Guess you and Skybird loose right?

That about sums it up, especially when it’s used here.

Did anyone pay attention to the news as far back as June? Democrats were expecting a wave too, didn’t happen though. Just like Republican one didn’t. But they both got a reaction.
