I'm not a pundit, just an intern. That said, if it turns out we really did lose the house what are the consequences?
Any wacky tax bill will get killed in our Senate.

Any attempt to impeach Boss will get killed in our Senate.

Any judges that Boss nominates have an easier time getting approved in our Senate.
What happened when the Republicans held the house during Obama? A lot of show for the base but nothing much was accomplished. Expect the same now. The Democrats will push harder left and even crazier than they are now.
What this is, at worst, is a speed bump. Reagan still got shit done with a Democratic House for his entire 8 years.

To borrow a catch phrase, Fuck Your Fear.

Sec Mattis is an officer and a gentleman. I don't have a bad word to say say about him. He's also they only one who would ask for Rip-It energy drink, probably from his time in the sandbox.
This isn't a criticism but an observation. The General is a hammer, and when you're a hammer every problem looks like a nail. Boss sees there is no more value in having all our troops in the Middle East, something a lot of people saw a lot earlier.
The cost/benefit ratio of being in the Middle East will never work out in our favor. We'll never win hearts and minds, we'll never export democracy, and we now produce more oil at home then we import.

I've been super busy lately. I have to hide myself in the Capitol building someplace new each day then report back to Boss each night. It's exhausting.
I'm relatively safe because even if the Democrats find me they know that can't touch me.
It's not a secret, they are all naughty. But what's funny is that on Christmas morning they'll get coal in their stocking which is extra triggering because it's a fossil fuel.

So to follow-up from last night's story, President Xi of China heard about it and thought he'd try the ol' switcheroo on Boss at the G20 last week.
Boss and Xi are having their one on one meeting and Xi offers Boss a frosty Diet Coke. Boss graciously accepts it. He takes a drink then pulls out his 10mm Colt Delta Elite and sets it on the table.
"What the fuck, Xi? Is this some kind of Chinese joke? Did you put peepee in my Diet Coke?"

1⃣ Let's take a look at how the Senate works. I've spoken to a decent segment of certain political persuasions to warrant a fresh look. At first, specifically be concerning voting procedures. #Senate ⬇️

#SchumerShutdown #SchoolHouseRock #BuildTheWall @DNC #WeThePeople
2⃣ Aside from Revenue(tax) bills, bills can originate either in the House, the Senate or both simultaneously. When the bill has been polished it goes to a vote. There are two primary types of vote & one that is considered a countermeasure. #Senate ⬇️

#SchumerShutdown @DNC
3⃣ Out of Roll Call, Voice Vote & Division Vote, Voice is most used. The bill is brought to a vote & Senators verbally call off 'Yea' or 'Nay'. The presiding officer mentally tallies the verbal vote as best they can & announces the results. #Senate ⬇️

1. Generic blood pressure pills made by Zhejiang Huahai Pharmaceuticals in China contained NMDA, considered a possible carcinogen.
FDA is testing all drugs in that class to see if they contain the toxic chemical.
Who holds the Chinese company responsible?
statnews.com/pharmalot/2018…
2. The FDA inspects only a small number of the Chinese companies that manufacture U.S. drugs, and those it does inspect are often found to have serious health violations.
3. China has become the primary source of many crucial medical drugs, including penicillin, heparin, and medications essential for surgeries.

@NatashaBertrand I find it very interesting that in the same month that Benczkowski got the call to investigate the Trump Tower-Alfa Bank connections, the man who called him, Viet Dinh, donated to Orrin Hatch and Jeff Flake PACs. These are Dinh’s only donations for the 2017-2018 cycle.
@NatashaBertrand Dinh’s on the 21st Century Fox board with Elaine Chao’s brother in law Jim Breyer, and was on the News Corporation board with Chao. Chao appointed two of Dinh’s, Kavanaugh’s, and Benczkowski’s Kirkland & Ellis partners, Steven Bradbury and Jeffrey Rosen, to DOT SES positions.
@NatashaBertrand Dinh was on Ken Starr’s Whitewater team with Kavanaugh, was co-counsel with Benczkowski to Senator Domenici during the Senate’s attempt to impeach Clinton, and—with Kavanaugh—vetted a George W. Bush’s judicial nominees.

Round 2 of #Zuckerberg congressional testimony with House Energy + Commerce (Facebook : transparency and use of consumer data)
Chairman’s intro to session mentions that later today this committee has to tackle an opioid crisis and the restoration of Puerto Rico’s electrical infrastructure.
And Chairman Walden subtly mocked Zuck’s compulsive mention of ‘dorm room.’ 💯
