Of course, the USA Today isn’t asking one important question: how will the GOPe screw this up?
What will a Republican House look like? A lot of investigations and maybe impeachment.
Now that Republicans have taken the House, President Joe Biden’s agenda is likely going to stall over the next two years of his term – at least the more ambitious parts of it.
“I’m proud to announce the era of one-party Democrat rule in Washington is over,” California GOP Leader McCarthy declared after winning the nomination from his caucus to be the next speaker, replacing Democrat Nancy Pelosi. (snip)
When Democrats took control of the House as part of the 2018 blue wave, they started a flurry of investigations into then-President Donald Trump’s administration and his business dealings, including probes of his tax returns and later, the role he played in the Jan. 6 Capitol attack.
Republicans have been itching to return the favor. When they win control of the House next year, expect a lot of investigations into Biden’s programs and his son Hunter Biden’s financial dealings. (snip)
A GOP majority could also open investigations into the U.S. withdrawal from Afghanistan and the Department of Justice.
McCarthy has vowed to immediately open an inquiry into the FBI’s search of former President Trump’s Mar-a-Lago estate.
“When Republicans take back the House, we will conduct immediate oversight of this department, follow the facts and leave no stone unturned,” McCarthy said.
See, it’s A-OK for Democrats to investigate everything when Trump was in office, and to continue investigating when Trump was gone. But, not OK for Republicans to investigate.
Some House Republicans have been clamoring to impeach Biden if the GOP takes control of the House. Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, R-Ga., one of the Republican Conference’s most fiercely outspoken members, has introduced articles of impeachment against Biden multiple times.
However, McCarthy has tried to temper conversations surrounding impeachment, telling reporters, “We will not play politics with it.”
Don’t go down this road. As much as Biden deserves it, it’ll never happen since Democrats control the Senate. And it will generate sympathy for Dementia Joe via a concerted media campaign. Focus on exposing Democrats.
Should the GOP take the House, continued U.S. aid to Ukraine as it fends off a Russian invasion is up in the air. McCarthy told Punchbowl News that a Republican House won’t write a “blank check” to Ukraine, suggesting that Republicans would limit or halt funding to Ukraine.
It’s time to wind down this gravy train
Expect a GOP-run House to push through legislation with traditional conservative points: tax cuts, expanded energy production, and a reduction in government spending.
A House Republican agenda revealed in September titled a “Commitment to America” outlined various legislative goals for a GOP majority that also include increased fossil-fuel production.
But the Democratic-led Senate would go along with little of that. And if it did, the GOP still would have to contend with Biden’s veto pen.
If Biden and the Dems want to vote against increased energy independence and reducing the energy costs for Americans, that won’t look good.
Energy independence? Where in USA will always pay the global market price for oil
That is set by the Gulf Arabs.
There is no “independence” from the price they set. Bow down,Teach, and kids the ring of your fossil fuel overlords.
Sorry, Offset-First it was Russia and the Saudis who you claimed set the price of oil, but now it’s Gulf Arabs? Can’t get your story straight?
Jill,
As has been explained ad infinitum, OPEC+, led by Russia and Saudi Arabia (a Gulf state) dictates crude oil prices. Gulf states are Oman, SA, Iraq, Kuwait, Iran, UAE, Bahrain, Qatar, which together produce over 2 times US crude; with the Gulf states have capacity to produce much more. If the Saudis increase production, prices drop. It the Saudis cut production, prices rise.
Can’t get your stories straight?
Pedophile, can’t you understand markets? If any major oil supplier increases production prices will go down and if they decrease it prices will rise.
You communists really don’t understand markets do you? I guess that’s why you’re commies. People like you vote for senile dicks and hobos.
You’re the drill-it-then-kill-it pig that knocked up two teenagers causing the murder of two babies. Have you knocked up any other girls lately?
What you fascists don’t understand is that OPEC+ has flexibility in production. They can cut it or increase it. The US cannot. We use much more crude oil than we produce.
We understand that you’re hurt and angry that the Red Tsunami became a Pink Trickle. Those fickle voters rejected your electile dysfunction lie. You guys had such high hopes for a white nationalist America, now you must wait at least another two years.
The difference being that they will be investigating actual events. What they won’t be doing is making shit up, mentioning it to the NYT and WP during interviews, writing letters about it to the FBI/CIA, who then leak the letters to the AP and Reuters starting a circle jerk corroboration. Then going on the Sunday pundit shows discussing the whole thing as fact and claiming they have the evidence.
You are describing the Bush White House and Dick Cheney run-up to the Iraq Invasion and Occupation which never was sufficiently investigated.
We could almost excuse tRump because of his ignorance and immorality, but… he tried to coerce Ukraine into investigating the Biden family (impeachment one) and tried to overturn the election (impeachment two). Those were real things captured on tape.
I think the America people have had enough tRump and tRumpism.
Rimjob, the kiddie-diddler himself, accuses others of immorality.
Then tries to rewrite history.
Good Lord!

Oh my!
A little sensitive are we now, Rimjob?
Or is it the pressure of the oncoming lawsuits from the investors your company embezzled out of $200M?

The Free Beacon lied; but what’s new.
This was not about voter fraud, but about forging signatures on petitions for money.
That’s not voter fraud.
No, it’s election fraud. Like I’ve been telling you I personally witnessed as a Philadelphian and son of a corrupt Democrat ward leader since I was a yute. The Philly machine is so corrupt they don’t need voter fraud to win now. Just like you Elwood, corrupt.
Nope, voter fraud.
J-too funny. Can you read? Our Johnny has said it’s Russia and the Saudis who set the price of oil, but in this post he said it’s just the gulf states. I asked which is it? Did I ever proclaim anywhere in my post who I think sets the price of oil? No, I didn’t Reading comprehension is still sways your friend, J
