Let’s see: new Congress starts Wednesday, and has to elect a new Speaker so the House can approve the election results on January 6th. And Trump is inaugurated on January 20.
The House barely agreed on a budget CR, and wouldn’t have if the Democrats didn’t want to shut down the government. In fact, Trump made this same argument then, and nobody paid attention. Trump even wanted the government shutdown to happen so Biden would be blamed. But the Democrats had the deciding votes; and still do.
I just really don’t think anybody’s listening to him, and that’s not going to change soon.
😈
To quote Lord Buckethead in his debates with Theresa May, "It' will be a shit show." I can well imagine the House won't be able to function for even longer this time unless some Republicans defect and vote for Jeffries to be Speaker. I can imagine things going far more completely to hell. If Trump immediately puts his tariffs on and the economy tanks immediately, it will make Brexit look like nothing.
