The New Democrat Congress Will Produce a Disappointing Scorecard

Beyond the Democrats' euphoria over their overwhelming midterm victory, there seems to be no clear roadmap as to what they plan to do when they take control in January. They ran on “hate Trump, hate war, and hate the high cost of living.” Now, they will need to work with a president they hate to actually find a way to govern. There are hit lists, impeachment lists, and proposed radical changes to the Supreme Court and our government system. Here’s your checklist to keep score on the Democrats’ ability to deliver on their promises. Just check “Yes” or “No” based on whether they deliver as promised over the next two years.
Lower Gas Prices (□ Yes □ No): Affordability was one of the two top issues that produced the Democratic victory. High gas prices affected all sectors of the economy. In the past, many Democrats wanted higher gas prices to encourage Americans to leave fossil fuel dependence and use electric vehicles. (Success Unlikely)
Brent crude oil has dropped to around $90 per barrel, its lowest since early October, due to increased oil shipments through the Strait of Hormuz and easing geopolitical tensions between the U.S. and Iran. BUT demoncrats will claim credit .
Impeach President Trump (□ Yes □ No): Democrats in the House may have the votes to impeach the president for the third time, but they don’t have the votes in the Senate to actually remove him from office. (Success Unlikely)
Possible but he really doesn’t care at this point . fueled by pure hate .
Abolish ICE (□ Yes □ No): ICE has been successful in following through on the laws against illegal immigration. Some Democrats have talked of abolishing ICE, but the president controls the executive employees involved in deporting illegal immigrants and upholding immigration laws. He’s unlikely to agree, and not even all Democrats will support this. (Success Unlikely)
Pack the Supreme Court (□ Yes □ No): Democrats have threatened to add more Supreme Court Justices to put an end to the conservative court. This is a constitutional issue that is unlikely to be allowed without an amendment to the Constitution. (Success Unlikely)
They will make a huge effort to get this done and appoint more Jackson(what is a woman) morons on the SC .
End the Senate Filibuster (□ Yes □ No): Unlike the Republicans, Democrats can reject past precedents and end the Senate filibuster, making it easier to pass their agenda. (Success Likely)
Absolutely ! God help the USA !
