Justice.
I don't know. But I'm pretty well convinced they're both colored that way due to some toxic algae bloom.
I don't think it really matters at this point.

Stuck between noplace and nowhere.
I think the Republican will make some slight gains, but nothing like Obama’s shellacking, and not even as big as the blue wave Trump saw.
But I could be wrong (in either direction).
I also predict that there will be chaos, some results will take days if not weeks to finalize, there will be recounts and court cases. There will be whining and temper tantrums. And that prediction I am more confident about. I hope there will be no violence.

I'm enjoying the train wreck *shrug*

My predictions for the midterms are that if the Republicans win big, then they will consider the elections were perfect, valid, and no fraud. If they lose, then they'll claim they were rigged and stolen.
That's my prediction. Let's see if I'm right. Dollars to donuts, I am. Funny how none of the Republicans who won in the election Trump lost didn't dispute the election when it came to themselves, isn't it? That should be your first clue as to the real fraud going on.
Both. The landscape is complicated like that.
The fact that Americans really are concerned about the economy, pretty much above all things, suggests that the House will return to Republican control -- but I do not think it will be a big win for them. Under 24 seats, giving them a small majority. Then we can have the pure joy of watching Kevin McCarthy try to control Marjorie Taylor Green. McCarthy doesn't have quite the cojones for that gal, I'm bettin'.
The Senate is tougher. It could be a 1 seat gain on either side, or status quo. I really don't see more than that.
The thing is, I think Americans, like everybody else, say a lot (especially to pollsters) before they cast their ballots, but once in the polling booth, I think a little sobriety sets in. And Americans do seem to care about other things than the economy, and while these won't make the day, they can mitigate. Americans do care about the rising amount of political violence, for example, and except for a few, most know on which side it largely originates. That might figure, as well as abortion -- lots won't say it, but even many Republican women still want the right to decisions about their own health care. And I think that most people know someone, or have family members, who identify as LGBTQ, and are not all that anxious that they should potentially have their hard-won rights stripped away.
But we'll see. We won't know the Senate, I think, until after a Georgia run-off.
By the way, Republicans are already filing lawsuits against mail-in votes in battleground states. They are, of course, seeking every possible advantage, just as they've been carving likely Democrat voters out of the general mob, and making voting more difficult for them. I would not want to be a supporter (nor could I be a "proud supporter") of a party with such shoddy values.

I sadly think you’re right about the temper tantrums.
Watching the so called “MAGA cope rallies” after the last election was bizarre to witness. Not to mention embarrassing. Though
I will admit to having some popcorn on hand. Is that bad of me?

Tell that to the rich politicians that live behind walls and fences around their houses.

It is not “good” or “bad”. I did the same thing watching feral leftists meltdown during and after the 2016 election.
It is only natural to take pleasure in the suffering of those who oppose us.

Is there a lesson here?
Whilst I certainly did watch that too with quite a bit of embarrassment back in 2016. And it was indeed quite embarrassing to witness. The “MAGA cope rallies” put those guys to shame. I think I ran out of popcorn on more than one occasion lol
Still felt a bit bad though. But neither side really “opposes me” insofar as I’m not American, so neither party really represents me.
