Republicans won control of the U.S. House on Wednesday, returning the party to power in Washington and giving conservatives leverage to blunt President Joe Biden’s agenda and spur a flurry of investigations. But a threadbare majority will pose immediate challenges for GOP leaders and complicate the party’s ability to govern.

US House win by ex-combat pilot cements Republican control

Republican Rep. Mike Garcia, a former Navy fighter pilot, scored a U.S. House win in a strongly Democratic district Wednesday, handing the GOP control of the chamber and giving the party a rare reason to celebrate in a state dominated by Democrats.

The conservative Republican was reelected to a third term in a district that has a 12.5-point Democratic registration edge and was carried by then-presidential candidate Joe Biden by double digits in 2020. It was Garcia’s third consecutive victory over Democrat Christy Smith, a former legislator.

Unjustified revenge investigations and obstruction is more likely to hurt the Republicans further.

Wining the house may not be the best thing for the republicans if they let the nutters run away with the show.

Even this early they don't seem able to get Green Eggs and Ham to just shut her mouth.

Imagine that thing or any one of the four just like it as the controlling vote or policy driver.

Yeah, right. The question is, will the moth-eaten old sockpuppet be impeached or will he resign?

House Republicans announce investigation into Biden, accuse him of direct involvement in Hunter's business affairs
GOP members of the Oversight and Reform Committee held a news conference Thursday in which they alleged, among other things, that President Biden “personally participated in meetings and phone calls” regarding his son’s business exploits and that there was personal business conducted on Air Force Two while he was vice president.

Rep. James Comer, R-Ky., who is poised to chair the panel beginning in January, called the president “chairman of the board” and a “partner with access to an office.”

Republicans, who released an interim report Thursday, said they identified more than 50 countries where the Biden family, often led by Hunter Biden, sought business transactions.

“To be clear, Joe Biden is the big guy,” Comer said. “This evidence raises troubling questions about whether President Biden is a national security risk and about whether he is compromised by foreign governments.”

Comer made it clear the investigation will focus on the president, not his son.

“We're not trying to prove Hunter Biden is a bad actor,” he said. “He is. If anybody wants to disagree with that, there's nothing we have to talk about. Our investigation is about Joe Biden. And we already have evidence that would point that Joe Biden was involved with Hunter Biden on this.”

Comer said Republicans on the committee have uncovered evidence of federal crimes by the Biden family or benefiting them, including conspiracy to defraud the United States, wire fraud, violations of the Foreign Agents Registration Act, Foreign Corrupt Practices Act and Trafficking Victims Protection Act, tax evasion, and money laundering.

House Republicans said their findings are based on accounts from multiple whistleblowers, the contents of Hunter Biden’s purported laptop and financial documents.

Comer said that, according to a media report, the Biden family’s financial activity generated more than 150 suspicious bank activity reports. He said committee Republicans have obtained and verified two of them, one involving Hunter Biden allegedly paying an escort service.

Comer has renewed his call for the Treasury Department to turn over all suspicious activity reports for accounts involving the Biden family or businesses they’re connected to. His previous attempts have been rebuffed.

Despite trumps involvement, the democrats still lost the house.

Such is Bidens performance as Pres.

Such is Bidens performance as Pres. that they only lost the house by a slim margin (instead of the predicted red wave massive majority), they retained the senate, and all of Failed Forty Five's top candidates were beaten.

Biden's performance has been given a huge tick of approval in these midterms.

A big congrats to the GOP, leftards. After all they've been through, they deserve it.

So unfair. If Dominion didn't pull the switch, they'd have the senate too.

Oh, and Kari Lake would have won Arizona.

Witch hunt!

There must be talk within the republicans of bringing on the 25th ammendment, it's pretty obious Biden has no idea what is going on, everything he says is edited, there is enough video evidence to show he is just not with it, gaffes a plenty, walking into walls, incoherent, hair sniffing, the list is endless and the media does its best to cover for him.

Yeah, yeah we say all the right things, but they've had a dopey old man in charge since 2016.

I honestly think the maximum age to stand for president should be set at age 70 on election day!

Anyway, officially, the number right now stands at 211 Democrats & 218 Republicans. So even though all the races have not yet been called, the right wingers are claiming victory.

Of the 8 House races still not officially called:

Maine 2 - Definitely will be a Democratic "hold". Should have been called days ago.

Alaska - The Democratic Candidate Peltola has a 48 - 26 lead over Moosealini. It's insane that this wasn't called a week ago.

Colorado 3 - This one is the true nail-biter.... right now in my own state MAGA Cock Sucker Gun Nut Barbie Boebert has a razor thin lead of 50.2 to Adam Frisch's 49.8 (not sure what Colorado's recount threshold is, but this one might drag on for a while. That f - ing nutcase needs to go.

California 34 - This is a 51 - 48 contest between two Democrats so no reason not to call it as a win for the "D" column

California 47 - Another 51 - 48 contest between Katie Porter (D) and Scott Baugh (R) - call it already. We need Katie available for House leadership, even if it ends up in the minority party.

California 13 - Another down to the wire race with 90.8% reporting. The Republican has a 50.4 - 49.6 lead over the Democrat, so this could go either way.

California 3 - A bizarrely gerrymandered district that starts somewhere east of Sacramento and runs about halfway down the Nevada state line. Apparently their ballots are delivered by carrier pigeon as they still only have 65% reporting. Currently sits at 52.3% for the Republican vs 47.7% for the Democrat.

California 22 - This is the district formerly "represented" by Devin Nunes and his tweeting cow. Another carrier pigeon district with 67.4% reported. Currently the Republican leads 52.8% to 47.2% for the Democrat

So even in the "worst case" scenario, the Democrats will get 4 of these 8 seats. The so-called "red wave" has resulted in barely a ripple.

No that isn't how it works.

By the way there was legitimate talk about the 25th amendment by Trumps team. Trumps own people were considering declaring him to be too crazy to stay in office. (and they were right).

Subpoenaed texts between Hannity and McEnany where Hannity was instructing McEnany to throw the 25th at Trump. (and impeachment).



Quote:

"1 - no more stolen election talk," Fox News host Sean Hannity texted McEnany, according to the records. "2- Yes, impeachment and the 25th amendment are real and many people will quit." "Love that. Thank you. That is the playbook. I will help reinforce....," McEnany replied, per the documents.

Yes in 2021 Sean Hannity wanted Trump to be declared as insane removed from office and / or impeached.
