I haven't enjoyed the news so much since November 8th.

(32,610 posts)The Republicans control the House and the Senate and will do ABSOLUTELY NOTHING.
If you think an aggressive media will turn the tide think again. Trump supporters hate the media and don't believe a word they say. Democrats don't trust the media because of what they did to Obama and Hillary. iows - the media's trust factor will remain as low as congress thus eliminating the possibility they can make a difference.
Comey has been compromised so the FBI won't do anything. The other intelligence agencies are just seeking to control the Trumpsters, not remove them.
If 100% of the population took the streets it won't mean anything.
Further, fear that Pence might be worse than Trump will cause elected Dems to back off.

Granted, President Pence will be a cold comfort (unless we're able to rid ourselves of him too, but even then it would still be President Ryan). But there's a chance that this historically and unprecedented horrific Presidency may be gone sooner than later.

We need a good mid-term election next year, hopefully like how the one in 2006 went..

This election has caused me high blood pressure, but not depression.
