Can't remember the term...

Shit's gonna change. No matter what. Probably tomorrow.

The unique experience is actually right now when everything hasn't resolved yet.

    I think they've called it for runoffs in both the GA Senate races.

    So we won't even know who controls the Senate until those are resolved. Amazingly, it looks like Dems have the mid-term advantage these days. Trump really did get his people out, I guess you gotta give that some credit.

    A margin of plus 1 or 2 in the Senate doesn't do shit for Dems unless we get rid of the filibuster. It's only useful to Republicans because all they want to do is block everything. Republican's jobs are a lot easier because their agenda is to literally do nothing.

    You are seeming to forget the most important thing that Republicans did to screw themselves if they lose power. They held a vote to send the vote confirm ACB to the full Senate against the rules of the Senate and committee. They then voted on the floor to ignore that particular violation. Now the Democrats are given the gift to turn around and do the same thing whenever they want.
