GOP getting one of the slimmest majorities in history, in a midterm, and then possibly losing another Senate seat, and also flipping three governor seats is not the great mandate they were hoping for.  I do not think lame duck means what Ward think it means.

Yes it does.
Even if Biden adopts a Bill Clinton attitude his leftist agenda is dead.

No. It doesn

Hey, be fair! Remember how RedDickJimmEspn posted Trump was a lame duck after 2018, when the Repos got a terrible beating in the House but retained the Senate?

Come to think of it, neither do I. But then the only elections that matter to RDJE are the ones his side wins.

Heh!  When all your House majority needs is something like three stray cats to kill a bill or pass a moderate one, your right-wing agenda is on a BiPAP machine.

Can't decide which is more amusing about the FTX collapse, that the lawsuit includes a group as motley as
Larry David, Naomi Osaka, Gisele Bundchen and Shaquille ONeal, or that the CEO is named Bankman-Fried.

Nancy Pelosi is stepping down as leader of the Dems in the House. Best part of her speech is when she said she "enjoyed working with three presidents". She was speaker under four presidents.

Naomi will have a good cry now

You mean the Senate.

[facilitatorn]

Lock up and lock out the insurrectionists in the incoming Congress and the legislative branch will run smoothly as it aught to.

The House fell to the GOP.  Biden leftist agenda is dead.  The dem leadership in the House is retiring.
Even more notable is that the GOP has now picked up at least 23 House seats in the last two election cycles (Biden has no coattails) and this year won the generic House vote by over 4 million votes.

Yes, I am aware that the only elections you claim are important are the ones your side wins.

Which one are you referring to ? 

[bambu.]

Trump has promised a new "platform of national greatness and glory" centred on;

1. . ending America's reliance on China,
2  . introducing the death penalty for drug dealers,
3  . bolstering border security,
4  . eliminating homelessness and
5  . planting the US flag on Mars.

#####

1. good
3. good
4. good
5. good ... maybe the money could be spent better.

2.  very, very bad

Damn, Michael Gerson is dead at 58.  That's a loss for conservatives and anyone who appreciates thoughtful and reasoned analysis from a moderate perspective.  He was a WaPo columnist and speechwriter for W.  And the guy who coined the phrase, the soft bigotry of low expectations. 

He also struck me as someone with considerable emotional intelligence, and heart, not just some lofty intellect sitting in a tower.
