A bipartisan majority of legislators voted to "table," or kill, the articles of impeachment introduced by Representative Al Green of Texas. One hundred and twenty-seven of the 194 Democrats in the House voted to table the resolution. https://www.yahoo.com/news/trump-impeachment-vote-shot-down-191000734.html Oops...

Tiberius Posted December 15, 2017 Author Posted December 15, 2017 Rumors are flying that Paul Ryan is jumping ship! https://www.politico.com/magazine/story/2017/12/14/paul-ryan-retire-speaker-ready-leave-washington-216103 Quote Despite several landmark legislative wins this year, and a better-than-expected relationship with President Donald Trump, Ryan has made it known to some of his closest confidants that this will be his final term as speaker. He consults a small crew of family, friends and staff for career advice, and is always cautious not to telegraph his political maneuvers. But the expectation of his impending departure has escaped the hushed confines of Ryan’s inner circle and permeated the upper-most echelons of the GOP. In recent interviews with three dozen people who know the speaker—fellow lawmakers, congressional and administration aides, conservative intellectuals and Republican lobbyists—not a single person believed Ryan will stay in Congress past 2018.

Tiberius Posted December 18, 2017 Author Posted December 18, 2017 Love it!!! Quote Panic time for Republicans if Trump underscores that the election is a referendum on an historically unpopular president. “President Trump is not on the ballot in 2018, but the White House is planning a full-throttle campaign to plunge the president into the midterm elections, according to senior officials and advisers familiar with the planning. Trump’s political aides have met with 116 candidates for office in recent months, according to senior White House officials, seeking to become involved in Senate, House and gubernatorial races — and possibly contested Republican primaries as well.” Democrats will hardly believe their good fortune.

And Virginia now! One-vote recount win gives Democrats tie in Virginia state House ... https://www.politico.com/story/.../democrats-tie-virginia-house-of-delegates-244598 16 hours ago - After a recount conducted Tuesday, Democrat Shelly Simonds had 11,608 votes to Republican incumbent David Yancey's 11,607 votes in Virginia's 94th House District. ... In a statement, the Democratic leader in the House of Delegates made clear he hoped Simonds' win would lead to Medicaid expansion.
Tiberius Posted December 20, 2017 Author Posted December 20, 2017 This is really crazy! Quote A three- judge panel declined to certify the recount of a key House race today, saying that a questionable ballot should be counted in favor of the Republican and tying a race that Democrats had thought they had won by a single vote. “The court declares there is no winner in this election,” said Circuit Court Judge Bryant L. Sugg, after the judges deliberated for more than two hours. The court’s decision leaves the race for the 94th District tied at 11,608 votes for each Del. David Yancey, the Republican incumbent, and Shelly Simonds, his Democratic challenger. And it leaves the balance of power in the state legislature at 49-51, in favor of Republicans - at least for now. In the case of a tie in a House race, state law says the winner is chosen by lot – essentially, a coin toss, according to Virginia state law. But it doesn’t end there. If the loser of the coin toss is unhappy with that result, he or she can seek a second recount. https://www.washingtonpost.com/local/virginia-politics/court-tosses-out-one-vote-victory-in-recount-that-had-briefly-ended-a-republican-majority-in-virginia/2017/12/20/ed979a70-e5b9-11e7-a65d-1ac0fd7f097e_story.html?hpid=hp_no-name_no-name%3Apage%2Fbreaking-news-bar&tidr=a_breakingnews&utm_term=.111b0e69802c
