Predictions: I think Vance will not be running due to new born on the way, plus time is on his side. He's young and can wait until his kids are a little older. Plus, with Trump almost being the 5th US President assassinated, I don't blame him for wanting to see his kids grow up. Republicans/DOJ: Republicans could unite and get some things done before January, but I really doubt they do. The Farm Bill HR 7567 would be a good one to pass, but we will see. I don't see Congress getting anything done. I think the two significant investigations that will come to resolution: Comey will be indicted and Omar will be civilly proven to not be here legally and will be removed from Congress. The Omar investigation started under Obama, so hard to blame this one of Trump. Trump: Trump is going to be Trump, but one thing I think he truly cares about is his legacy. I think his goals will be to end the Iran war favorable to them not getting a nuke and will negotiate the ending of Ukraine war before he leaves office. Democrats: They won in the fashion they did because of the cost of groceries, fuel and the too aggressive ICE deportations. I honestly don't think a significant number of people would care about the Iran war if it didn't hit them in the pocketbook. Democrats should work on bills that will help lower the price on fuel and groceries, and most importantly get interest rates down so housing market gets hot. There are lots of people (me) waiting for rates before they upgrade. .....If they did that and put us in a good spot before 2028, they could possibly get the WH in 2028. What I think is going to happen in a attempted Hegseth impeachment, a lot of noise around a Trump impeachment, and investigation payback.......I think they are going to try and take out Trump and everyone close to him (like 2016) under the cover of oversight...... Democrats will love it, Republicans and Independents will see it for what it is, and we will have a Republican President in 2028. Thoughts?

Stock Market didn't like the Mid-Term results too much......

I'd rather her take that money and use it to lower property taxes and get schools in line, as they are the majority of the property taxes here in Texas. It blows/boggles my mind that it cost on average $490 million PER DAY for one day of school in Texas. That is a 359% increase since 1984. Electricity in Texas has only increased 134% since 1984. Maybe Bullets can shed some light on this. Property Taxes from 1984 to today has increased 1195%. We have just spent ourself into renting the property we own..... **my numbers come from Google AI

Will Texans Get $1,500 Checks? This sounds like she is reading from the Trump playbook..... [Hidden Content]

Well, he didn’t start the warfare, and I do believe there is enough evidence via email to prove at least to me there was a plot to sabotage his presidency, then a concentrated effort, I think organized , to prevent him from running in 2024. They went after him, his family and anyone around him…..so honestly I don’t blame him for wanting to investigate that. I think he has done a great job and some things, and not so much in others. I try to focus on the policies and not his mouth.

Based on Jeffries trying to act tough and many comments from Congress on X - there are going to go back to investigations and trying to impeach Trump than doing anything about prices and the economy.

We will see. Lets see what AOC and team try to push though.

I don't know how Hardin County played out - But you were right - Republicans got slaughtered

He said he would - if he don't there will probably be a Democrat in the WH

None of that is nonsense..... This is a discussions forum - don't like it, don't post

Supreme Court Thomas 78 Alito 76 On election day 2028 they will be 80/78 - and the end of the term 84 and 82. One can imagine they will retire during that term and want their replacement to represent their conservative views. If a Democrat wins the White House and due to age or health they are replaced with a liberal Judge, that swings the balance to 5-4 Liberal court.......all the work the R's have done will go down the drain. The Democrats have this in their sights...... The 2028 election and just as important the lead up to the 2028 election is going to be huge for this Country no matter what side your on.

You need 67 in the Senate with 100 or 66 with 99

Do they have a choice if he is reasonable? If they attack him and investigate him, and do nothing, that gives R's lots of ammo for 2028. We can't do anything about the next two years but we can prepare for 2028. Who will run? Vance having a child on the way along with his association with Trump, I doubt he runs. I think Rubio will jump in as soon as Vance announces he will not run.

The only Good News 1. Likely not enough votes in Senate to impeach Trump. 2. This does not effect the DOJ and current/future investigations. 3. Trump still has veto power and will use it on silly stuff 4. Texas Senate will likely remain 19R-12D, so even if house is flipped, there will be checks/balance. Let's see if the Democrats are going to work with Trump or fight him the next two years

We took a butt kicking.....are you happy about it? Maga Cult members is really pushing it and sounding like a Democrat Good think is hopefully Senate will be 54-46 - and needing 13 Republican to Impeach Trump. Hopefully that should discourage the Democrats for the next 2 years impeaching Trump.
