At this point, the GOP House is a running joke.
2024 election might not be kind to them.

i’m glad you asked. it allows state legislatures to enact anti-democratic voting rules and make it as inconvenient as possible for people in certain districts to vote.
No, there's no accounting for morons who live in a fact free world..........I guess Biden is going to win in a cake walk in 2024......
I'll buy you a cup of coffee if Kamala doesn't begin to roar very soon.
"starting to move in the other direction"
So Biden screws stuff up so he can take credit when those things improve organically? The left is delusional.

So now you are blaming the pandemic on Biden? Figures.
When you have 2 years of extreme spikes (violent crime, immigration, inflation) and then you see small drops or growth by less, it's reason to be somewhat optimistic, but it's also not grounds for celebration, and really doesn't negate criticisms.
If murder rate drops by 9% but is still 20% higher than 4 years ago...it's kind of like talking up Nebraska football because they finished 4th in the division instead of 6th after being pretty good at one time.
It's politics, so there's always spin, but to take that article at face value might make you dizzy.
LOL - so the numbers are getting dramatically better after a big spike due to Trump and Covid but because they haven't recovered fully (to near all-time bests, no less) in a short period of time you won't acknowledge it. Got it.
So disingenuous. SMH
Only because of the electoral college. Republicans don’t win popular votes.
Can’t give him a win. This is what I mean when I say people vote against their best interests. Biden has done a great job, should win in a landslide, but won’t because next to no Republicans are willing to admit the truth. They’d prefer to be wrong and loyal to their lost party.
The electoral college is the system we have used the last 240 years or so....
They are doing exactly what we said they would do. No governing. Revenge and fear porn.
It’s outdated. Wyoming shouldn’t get a higher percentage of electoral votes by population than California. That stupid system is basically the only way Republicans can win. Minority rule.
I think Biden would really increase his chances if he would replace Kamala. It is highly unlikely he will be able to fulfill an entire additional term, and having her as the next in line is not a good situation.
Find a mirror my friend.
I truly think you believe your head will explode if you give this administration credit for anything. Sad really.

The data show that those spikes were directly the result of a global pandemic and associated problems with it.
Biden absolutely deserves credit for moving things back toward a "normalcy" trajectory with relatively few growing pains.
This is the same bullshit republicans spewed when Obama was pulling the US out of the Great Recession - minus the blatant racism.
Let’s not ever have an election go to the House to find out……..and how the House id gerrymandered will matter then.
For much of American history I'd agree. But I'd argue that it didn't do so in 2016.
It gave us George Bush and a ridiculous war killing hundreds of thousands. Then it gave us some guy named Donald Trump. But I’m sure you’re right. Lol.
But is “small states” vs. “big states” really THE issue in today’s America…..we fought a war to decide the future of slavery, too. The biggest argument has to be the under-representation of states like Cali/NY/Texas as compared to states like Wyoming and the Dakotas….But then voting equality/equity is not a big deal for today’s Republican Party….that is understood.
Exactly, Republicans don't even pretend to govern for the majority.
Everything is special interest groups.
lol what? Identity politics is exactly what the GOP is running on
Exactly. Clinton got blamed for BOTH Bush’s recessions….. somehow.
Spot on. Kamala eviscerated desantis' notion that slavery was a beneficial job training program for visiting Africans this past weekend.
She is an effective prosecutor when allowed to make her case.
The GOP is attempting to " Hillaryize" her with constant character attacks but time to take the gloves off.
Would love to see her debate Kim , Noem or Tim Scott on a VP stage.
She will take them apart just like she did pence.
The peak Trump economy was about a year after he went in office. Something that is 100% the work of Obama, not Trump. The fact that conservatives constantly lie to themselves about stuff like this is why they can't seem to figure out that conservative economic policies are an abysmal failure and always, always lead to an economic crisis of one form or another.
Ironic post, wop.
Yeah, when 40 pct of the country lives in an alternate reality and guys like bins will stubbornly defend their side no matter how indefensibly off the rails they've gone, anything can happen. The party over country mindet is completely out of control anymore
It allows for wildly non-representative state legislative districts that lead to non-representative legislatures that then pass sweeping voter suppression laws that target specific Democratic voting blocks to make it as painful, difficult, and risky as possible to vote. Florida and Texas are the best examples of how effective this is.
That's like the main part of the job, to preside over the executive branch by appointing competent people.
Could you name these “painful, difficult and risky” measures? I live in Florida and it’s pretty friggin easy to vote.
Jimmy Carter (more or less) inherited a country broken by Watergate.
Clinton inherited a recession.
Obama inherited a major recession.
Biden inherited a recession, among other major problems.
Bush Jr. and Trump were both handed a gold star economy on a freakin’ silver platter.
Give it up Cons, Dems own you. They’ve had to save your bacon at least 3 times in the last 30 years.

There are many ways but the one I was referring to was the one where people could be arrested and thrown in jail for voting in Florida. Sure, this applies to Republican voters too but I'm sure it will be applied completely equally to people with Republican demographics as it is to with Democratic demographics.
Florida’s Voter Fraud Arrests Are Scaring Away Formerly Incarcerated Voters
DeSantis made a spectacle of arresting voters with felony convictions. Now, some eligible voters are opting out of midterms even beyond Florida.
Totally fair. I guess I was meaning in the context that people believe the president has this massive power to do all these things that others are actually in charge of. He does appoint those people and collaborate with them.
