True. But if we have a solid majority in the House, we can block a lot of BS. We can hold hearings. We can investigate. We can expose. And we could have a House that reasserts its Constitutional responsibility to control the power of the purse.

And while it is true that it would require 290 House members to expel some traitors, let's not underestimate the blowback of the red state people who are being betrayed. I predict Republican rebellion - especially as $Trump makes multiple mistakes every day. I recommend that we all have enough liquid assets to get through the next Great Recession. The insane tariffs will hike inflation, the Fed might raise rates, the markets will be angry.

Regaining the House combined with a simple majority in the Senate could lead to some serious opposition on many subjects. The pendulum will swing back our way. But it will be ugly as it cuts through.

If I keep saying stuff like what I'm about to say I might get in trouble, but I think we still have Freedom of Speech. If the Dems had a Majority in the House their would be a Dem second in line to the Presidency.
