It just hit me: both Graham and Johnson lose their committee chairs

[CatWoman]

correct?

[ace3csusm]

1. Yes...

[stopbush]

2. All committee chairs in both Houses will be Ds or Is who caucus with Ds

for the next two years.

[Thekaspervote]

3. Ain't it grand!!

[magicarpet]

4. Yup,... once Schumer gets in there as majority leader.

[Gothmog]

5. Yeah

[central scrutinizer]

6. Yes and chairmen/women set the agendas

No more tabling progressive legislation through inaction

[leftieNanner]

7. And No More BS "Hearings"

About Hunter Biden etc.

Do the People's Work, for heaven's sakes!

[raccoon]

8. Who is Johnson? Nt

[kirby]

9. Probably referring to Ron Johnson, WI n/t

[CatWoman]

10. yes

Ron "The Clown" Johnson

[Poiuyt]

21. Ron Johnson is one of the dumbest members of the Senate

We can give Tommy Tuberville a pass for now since he's new and doesn't know anything about the government. But Johnson is just a plain idiot.

As the say over on the Wisconsin forum on reddit, "Fuck Ron Johnson!"

[11 Bravo]

25. Ron Johnson makes Louie Gohmert look like a genius.

And Gohmert is slightly dumber than your average fern.

[MyOwnPeace]

31. But I've got a fern here....

that has never ONCE filed an insane suit to any court - and it's NEVER been a judge!

[OMGWTF]

43. Just don't cast any aspersions on Louie Goobermert's asparagus (fern).

[MyOwnPeace]

45. Ah heared 'ya!

[mgardener]

44. Tuberville

Could not name the 3 branches of government.
He does not get a pass.
They are co equals among idiots.

[MyOwnPeace]

46. Yeah, what a way to convince people you "qualify"

Like the debate years ago when Rick Perry said he wanted to do away with three cabinet positions and when asked what ones, he could only name 2.

(But he fixed it - he went and bought glasses to wear to make him look smarter.....)

[AleksS]

11. Yup!

Thank goodness.

And both ought to be investigated too.

[Butterflylady]

12. Yes and ain't it sweet.

[Rice4VP]

13. They lose everything...

[honest.abe]

14. Yes.. fantastic!

[Wellstone ruled]

15. As well as Grassley..

[sarcasmo]

16. Yep, no Hunter Biden's laptop. No Hillary's Emails and No Benghazi!

[Vivienne235729]

17. I did not know that. What fantastic news!!

[Generic Brad]

18. And they might have kept them if their Dem colleagues were murdered by a mob

Not saying they were in on it, but the potential for their personal gain amidst chaos was there.

[malaise]

19. Hence my signature line

since last week. They lose all of them and now the NRA is bankrupt. It's not all bad.

[StarfishSaver]

20. Yep

One of the reasons we need to have a Democratic majority, even if that means electing some Democrats who aren't as liberal as we want them to be.

[CatWoman]

24. *cough, cough* Joe Manchin

[StarfishSaver]

26. Yep.

Joe Manchin might be conservative but the fact that he has a D after his name means we control the Senate.

[Beachnutt]

28. If the Dino will vote with the democrats...

[drray23]

30. even if he does not. thats the point. we still control the agenda and the committees.nt.

[keithbvadu2]

32. What if he changes party?

Is it that tight?

[drray23]

34. that would be a problem indeed.

I dont think he will. He has been a democrat for decades. He's got the power as a democrat in terms of being able to negotiate with Schumer and his constituents keep reelecting him. He has no reasons to switch to republican.

[keithbvadu2]

36. The GOP is probably promising him the moon if he switches.

The GOP is probably promising him the moon if he switches.

He has some serious bargaining power.

[CatWoman]

29. oh, I totally agree

[Iggo]

22. Yep, they all do.

[Tribetime]

23. Shut up lindsey, you're no longer relevant.

33. Hey Tribe.....

You need to be more careful - your "title" left me a chance to respond in a way that I'm SURE would have had my post deleted!!

[Tribetime]

47. Ok

[monkeyman1]

35. stooges

the Russian stooges will be irrelevant & ROJO & Graham will be a liability for vlad now !!!

[electric_blue68]

37. Yes, indeed! Bwaaahahaaaaa! Heh, heh, heeeeh!

While it still won't quite be the easiest road...
it will be better, and that's exciting! 😀👍

[MontanaMama]

38. No wonder social media giants started behaving last week.

Dems are looking to bust them up and apply antitrust laws.

[CatWoman]

39. you know Mama

that's a very good point

[djacq]

40. New Sherriff in the Senate.

Name's Chuck Schumer.

[LiberalArkie]

41. They better start passing real stuff, there is no waiting and maybe only 2 years before

they loose everything. How about a real national health care scheme. How about real drug plans?

May never have another time where will be possible,

[MyOwnPeace]

50. Same problems PRESIDENT OBAMA had.....

In the first 2 years of his administration he did have both House and Senate majorities, BUT......

there were DINO's - Democrats In Name Only - AKA: Blue Dogs. They knew that the Dems needed their votes but they were on on-board with the more left-thinking wing of the party. So, they made deals, held hostages, etc. It is TRULY amazing that PRESIDENT OBAMA and the Dems were able to pass the ACA - TRULY!!!!!

So that's where we are again, AT LEAST WE'VE got the majorities and able to chair committees - that's a good thing! As for Manchin - yeah, we need him - but he needs the Dems too. I'm sure he'll pick his battles, as will other Dems when the majority is so close.

BUT - it's better than it was!!!!!!!

[LiberalArkie]

51. And they figured they had all the time in the world or everything said was just words.

[MyOwnPeace]

52. Oh, yeah!

After ALL is said and done, it is STILL a "follow the money" game, isn't it?

[capechacon]

42. Johnson has GOT to be....

the most aggressively stupid, Mortimer Snerd-like airhead to have ever walked the halls of congress.

What the he!! were Wisconsin voter thinking when they elected this fool to a federal office? Jesu Christo...

[George II]

48. Correct. Democrats get the chairs of ALL Senate committees.

[badboy67]

49. In a just world they'd lose a lot more than that.

[Blue Owl]

53. K&R
