It’s January 4, 2023, 
The 118th congress has been sworn in on January 3^rd. 
McConnell, once again, becomes the senate majority leader. 
McCarthy takes over from Nancy Pelosi as the house speaker.

Republicans are relishing the prospects of revenge
Probing the doings of Democratic house majority
Subpoenas flying like moths attracted to a flame
Lawsuits being filed over Biden’s mendacity

There is talk of impeaching Biden on an issue
Could be a made-up issue, such as Ukraine
Though not interested in doing a real probe, GOP
knows investigation will help in 2024 campaign

Republicans get giddy thinking of 2024
They are certain to take back the presidency
Democrats will look back to 2021and
wonder if they were victims of complacency!

Democrats’ worst nightmare has come to pass
Biden becomes a lame duck with 2yrs still to go
Congress remains gummed up – thank the filibuster
All Biden is left with are executive orders and veto

Isn’t it ironic, the very tool Democrats despised
when they were in power – filibuster in Senate
is saving their bacon, giving them modicum of power
Using filibuster, they can muzzle any debate

Republicans in power predictably hate the filibuster
They can’t pass any law other than thru reconciliation
They certainly will try to undo changes enacted by
Democrats thru Build-Back-Better legislation

Democrat’s funk is likely to last a long time
Intra-party sniping, and bickering will increase
Progressives pitted against moderates
This internecine warfare will not lead to peace

Poor Democrats!  Victims of their own doings.
With “friends” like fellow Democrats, who needs enemies!

Now a really scary scenario for Democrats:
– Donald Trump wins in 2024 (OUCH) 🙁  🙁  🙁
