Republicans complete power takeover with House majority; Thune named Senate leader

"We need positions filled IMMEDIATELY!" 

Who made you king?

Trump is expected to further test lawmakers early in his presidency with pardons for rioters convicted in the 2021 storming of the Capitol, sweeping import tariffs and vast tax cuts expected to pile on debt.

The vast majority voted against their own economic interest and for that of oligarchic cronies of Trump if they believe any of this agenda will cut inflation and raise wages.

Trump got the trifecta but it all needs to go ASAP.

And that matters on Jan 3.

Trump becomes President on Jan 20, 2025 when the prior President actually shows up and is there for the transition of power. Then Trump can start with his decisions and pardon 1000 federal criminals.

Can Judy hold out his transfer of assets that long? I hope not.

Tax cuts - that will help the massive deficit he added 33.1% to. Biden only added 16.7% as of last week. Go GOP! Deporting 10M illegal immigrants will cost billions. The trick is to make them leave on their own, at their own cost. Go after fraud in working documents and fraud in taxes and get Congress to add real penalties for coming to the US illegally with a lifetime ban if caught inside the US.

Key difference between now and 2016 is the Never Trump-crowd are gone - there are no Cheney, McCain, Flake, Kinzinger out there to thwart the will of the people.

I would not etch it in stone, Republican may have to cede three seats and the Democrats will have the leverage

We need positions filled IMMEDIATELY!" ....Who made you king?

Does this make it clearer for the whinging left?

The Republicans were declared the majority party in the U.S. House of Representatives Wednesday, completing a clean sweep of Congress and the White House in last week's elections and handing incoming president Donald Trump vast legislative power."

Now the woke left needs to get back to wiping egg omelette of their face and accept that majority of US voters gave Trump a landslide and a mandate.

Someone made an interesting point a while ago (this was before the control of the House was known). They said that if the republicans assume control of house and senate (as well as the presidency), there's a potential downside: they will have to own everything that happens subsequently.

So if things go south (economically, for instance) then they won't be able to blame it on the democrats. It probably won't stop them trying, of course, and there's a large enough proportion of MAGA people who would believe that water is made by mixing lemonade with chalk dust if Trump said it, but the fact is, the republicans now have to actually deliver on everything they've claimed they'll do.

Apparently, apropos of nothing in particular, Google searches for "what is a tariff?" went through the roof on the days following the election...

majority of US voters gave Trump a landslide and a mandate.

He won by 2%. Hardly a landslide.

Who made you king?

No one, not sure what you’re talking about. I worry about you. Just relax not that serious.

He won by 2%. Hardly a landslide.

It is, considering Blacks, Latinos, Evangelicals and even the Amish that pulled him over the finish line and look at the made, it’s like a sea of red.

"Here, Dems, hold my beer."

Go MAGA!

Why is MAGA treated by the left as though it's a bad thing?

" He won by 2%. Hardly a landslide."

Clean sweep of Presidency, EC, popular vote, Senate and the House? Doesn't get any bigger than that. Our radical leftist experts need to stop whinging aka " who made you king" , accept their " Harris will win by 11 million plus abortion / nobody likes Trump " nonsense whine was proven to be just that and Trump has an overwhelming mandate. Simples.

Yes it does. Joe beat Trump by 4.5%

Excellent news!

Evangelicals and even the Amish that pulled him over the finish line

What is surprising about religious fanatics who can turn a blind eye to the immorality and cruelty of Trump in their adoration of their chosen Supreme Leader?

Black and Latinos are just fondly remembering those COVID stimulus checks with Trump's name on them.

The Dems offered them nothing, Biden even reneged.

The President-elect is in a hurry to get all his major appointments confirmed, especially the members of his cabinet.

He’s oblivious to the fact that many of these appointments have to be confirmed by the upper chamber (U.S. Senate).

He obviously wants a pliable bunch who will not invoke the 25th amendment to the U.S. Constitution and remove him from office, something that should have happened during his first term in office.

We the People of the United States of America deserve better.

Is that the best argument you guys have?

Black and Latinos are just fondly remembering those COVID stimulus checks with Trump's name on them. 

No, they’re remember lower gas prices, having more money in their pockets. And that they entrepreneurial businesses were flourishing under his administration

The Dems offered them nothing, Biden even reneged.

True

Democrats gain control of House with Gaetz resignation

Phraseology from the article, to repeated in others over and over:

radical agenda of mass deportations

This "radical agenda of mass deportations" is only necessitated by Biden's "radical agenda of mass importations"--a point we will never hear from the media. What we will hear when mass deportations begin is only dramatic human stories which will naturally occur, but no reflection at all on the fact that the individuals being deported have only themselves to blame for building their lives on the sand of illegal immigration or that those who allowed them to enter illegally created the sad situation in the first place. It will be like the "kids in cages" thing which was laid at Trump's feet, but was actually started by Obama:

Michelle Obama assailed President Donald Trump on Monday for ripping migrant children from their parents and throwing them into cages, picking up on a frequent and distorted point made widely by Democrats.

She’s right that Trump’s now-suspended policy at the U.S.-Mexico border separated thousands of children from their families in ways that had not been done before. But what she did not say is that the very same “cages” were built and used in her husband’s administration, for the same purpose of holding migrant kids temporarily.

-- AP FACT CHECK: Michelle Obama and the kids in ‘cages’ ( https://apnews.com/article/election-2020-democratic-national-convention-ap-fact-check-immigration-politics-2663c84832a13cdd7a8233becfc7a5f3 )

Mark my words. It will be all one-sided tear jerkers intended to appeal to reader's hearts rather than their mind from the media.

Key difference between now and 2016 is the Never Trump-crowd are gone - there are no Cheney, McCain, Flake, Kinzinger out there to thwart the will of the people.

That just isn't true. I'm a never Trump person. As a fiscal conservative, I feel that the GOP has forced me to leave. I couldn't vote for Trump for 30,000+ reasons (that's his latest count of easily proven lies). https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/2021/01/24/trumps-false-or-misleading-claims-total-30573-over-four-years/

That doesn't included that he's a convicted felon and a proven misogynist based on his actions and words towards women. Never Trump.

When it comes to Trump, it is actually easier to count the times he's actually told the truth, even if it isn't the whole truth.

I can't understand how any Christian could possibly vote for him. He continuously breaks the 10 Commandments - continuously.

Never Trump.
