If Mississippi flips from D to R, Kamala Harris gets bumped off the judiciary committee. She's the most junior member for the minority party, so bub-bye. However, according to the MSM it is...wait for it... racism. 2

boyst Posted November 28, 2018 Posted November 28, 2018 Taking a dump I looked at the first possible black senator since reconstruction... Funny. Newer photos make him look awfully pale but a few older photos made him look much darker. I'm sure the media slid some colors around but the dude ain't black and it doesn't matter if he is or isn't either way. Just interesting

Buffalo_Gal Posted November 28, 2018 Posted November 28, 2018 Welp, apparently she is a Mitch McConnell R, so she'll vote for all his judges. Not sure the Senate will (or can) do much else, so the next two years will be interesting. 2

B-Man Posted November 28, 2018 Posted November 28, 2018 WILLIAM MURCHISON: What posturing and positioning we can expect from the next Democratic House. The New Deal, without precisely turning Democrats into the Planning Party, planted in them an enthusiasm for giving orders and directions to people not necessarily enthusiastic about being told what to do. And so came to pass the progressive vision: Progress our way, because we know what’s good for you. What’s ahead? Other than attempted impeachment of the president? The progressive agenda will take shape in the House: probably a $15 minimum wage; maybe free college tuition and broad legalization of marijuana; almost certainly, tighter control of pharmacy prices and laxer oversight of immigration. Higher taxes on business will be proposed. Also, mandatory maternity leave from work. A federal support check for every taxpayer is a progressive notion looking better and better to poverty-fighters. And what items on this large and luscious list will become law? None of them, actually. Not in 2019 and 2020. The Republican-controlled, and easily more conservative, Senate will shoot down all of them. I expect that with the Senate (hopefully) going back to its traditional role of the chamber where bad ideas go to die, that the Democratic House is going to be an even bigger circus than usual — especially given the unprecedented numbers of vocal “democratic” socialists about to join Pelosi’s caucus. If nothing else, it should prove entertaining.
