Based on the fake news polls, of course.My expectation is they take the House with a double digit margin. Whatever hopes Dems had of cutting losses are gone. Senate could go either way.

No. I’ve been (and remain) confident about the House, uncertain about the Senate. Trump’s Senate endorsements have not been helpful.Yep...a few months ago, you expected a landslide.
Good luck with your expectations.
President Trump to North Carolina resident: 'At least you got a nice boat out of the deal'
DeSatan looks like he was told to pound sand and he complied.
adore that image, for all its messages
As someone who doesn't smoke marijuana, I support this 100%

Invasion Of The Body Snatchers springs to mind.
Not the right way to bear arms.
The president will also open the door to additional releases this winter in an effort to bring gasoline prices down.
WASHINGTON (AP) — President Joe Biden will announce the release of 15 million barrels of oil from the U.S. strategic reserve Wednesday as part of a response to recent production cuts announced by OPEC+ nations, and he will say more oil sales are possible this winter, as his administration rushes to be seen as pulling out all the stops ahead of next month’s midterm elections.
Biden will deliver remarks Wednesday to announce the drawdown from the strategic reserve, senior administration officials said Tuesday on the condition of anonymity to outline Biden’s plans. It completes the release of 180 million barrels over six months authorized by Biden in March. That has sent the strategic reserve to its lowest level since 1984 in what the president called a “bridge” until domestic production could be increased. The reserve now contains roughly 400 million barrels of oil.
Biden will also open the door to additional releases this winter in an effort to bring prices down, but administration officials would not detail how much the president would be willing to tap and the conditions under which he would do so.
Biden will also say that the U.S. government will restock the strategic reserve when oil prices are at or lower than $67 to $72 a barrel, an offer that administration officials argue will increase domestic production by guaranteeing a baseline level of demand even if prices fall. Yet the president is also expected to renew his criticism of the profits reaped by oil companies — repeating a bet made this summer that public condemnation would matter more to these companies than shareholders’ focus on returns.
It marks the continuation of an about-face by Biden, who has tried to move the U.S. past fossil fuels to identify additional sources of energy to satisfy U.S. and global supply as a result of disruptions from Russia’s invasion of Ukraine and production cuts announced by the Saudi Arabia-led oil cartel.
Yep. Lowest level in nearly 40 years, just two weeks after his grim cocktail party warning about the risk of Armageddon. And he plans to replenish SPR when oil falls to $72/barrel. In 2020, President Trump wanted to top off the SPR with oil at $24. Dems blocked him: 'Bailout for Big Oil!” Let’s Go Brandon!https://www.huffpost.com/entry/biden-gas-prices-oil-barrels_n_634f317fe4b03e8038d91bca
Biden To Release 15 Million Barrels From Oil Reserve In Effort To Reduce Gas Prices
In March of 2020 the SPR held 635 million barrels total. Trump wished to purchase 77 million more barrels, if he could get funding to top off the SPR to the max. Strange, during a period of low demand, and a pandemic at hand, others felt the money could be spent on more important items.Yep.

And here we are today. Draining the SPR to its lowest level since 1984 for a non-strategic purpose and will replace it at $72 at some unknown point in the future. Let’s hope Brandon’s Armageddon scenario doesn’t come true in the meantime.In March of 2020 the SPR held 635 million barrels total.

Given the outlook at that point in time, it would have been a needless expense of non budgeted monies.
Would it have made a difference to the current world oil pricing, doubtful considering Russia can produce 12 million barrels day. So 77 million would have bought Biden 6 extra days.....
The President in 1984 sure didn’t seem to care.And here we are today. Draining the SPR to its lowest level since 1984 for a non-strategic purpose and will replace it at $72 at some unknown point in the future. Let’s hope Brandon’s Armageddon scenario doesn’t come true in the meantime.
When President Reagan took office in January, 1985, the SPR had 113.5 million barrels. It increased every year during his 8 years in office. It was 561.5 million when he left office.The President in 1984 sure didn’t seem to care.
So whats your point? You would have save 75% of the cost on the 77 million, if Trump had filled it back in 2020. Sure a 75% savings is good,but it only reflects less than 12% of the total amount held in the SPR.And here we are today. Draining the SPR to its lowest level since 1984 for a non-strategic purpose and will replace it at $72 at some unknown point in the future.
Shit happens, and there is very little you or I can do about it now.Let’s hope Brandon’s Armageddon scenario doesn’t come true in the meantime.
