If enough Democrats win, they can push legislation through without him being able to block it.

    Ohh for sure, maybe even impeach, but the headline implies something else entirely though…wonder if he would flee to russia lol

    It's entirely possible he could flee given the investigations he's about to face. He knows what happens to pedophile in prison. And while his legal team, even though inept, will keep him from ever seeing the inside of a prison. That fear would be enough to make him flee.

    Yah he certainly has amassed enough money…it would likely be argentina or some other warmer country…but who knows what will happen. Ive already voted but I bet something happens and the whole thing gets rigged

    the odds of democrats sweeping the upcoming senate elections, including every single one of the twenty-two republican-held seats, is as close to zero as you can get without actually being zero.

    then on top of that, you have 'unreliable' ""democrats"" holding office which you can't count on to vote with their party of record.

    so the net chance of the upcoming senate session being able to override a veto is zero. not gonna happen. hell, the democrats would be extremely lucky to hit 60 seats.

    over on the house side, democrats might get a 5-10 seat advantage, they'll never get the veto-proof majority there either. way too much rigging of the vote and maps by republicants for that.

    Are enough Republican seats (that are likely to flip) even up for election to do that this midterm? I seem to remember that being a problem in 2018, that there was backlash but not enough Republicans up for election to make much headway.
