They get to feel good about themselves. Other than that, not much.

I don't think the original intent was for nothing to get done but I could be wrong

The likes of Nunes and Ryan can no longer protect Trump from investigation.

The U.S. Government was purposefully designed this way.

Not for nothing to get done, but for things to change at a glacial pace.

Most they can do is probably open up a litany of Trump investigations and say hell naw to anything he proposes.

The sad thing for Trump is that he's not getting in any major legislation for his first term. He's done.

Turn down legislation is the biggie.

Some control over committees that oversee governmental procedures is a plus too.

Not much. Senate is on track to actually gain Republicans. They're up 2 so far.

That's exactly it. Just like what was done to W. when Dems took the house during his first term. Useless subpoenas and block anything from getting done.

Yeah but they're not going to get the supermajority so it doesn't matter much. This was a very bad year for the Senate with almost every seat was a Dem.

The funny thing is the people saying "none" are the same ones that are going to be constantly complaining that the dems are obstructing and they're the reason nothing gets done. But, yeah, "nothing".

So just like what Republicans did with Obama in 2010

Also its worth it to mention, that Mueller is supposed to announce something a week or two after all of this and if trump did remotely ANYTHING wrong in regards to Russia theyll put out a vote
To impeach Trump.

Regardless.

It just makes it more laughable for the GOP how they couldn't get anything done with total control. No repeal of ACA, no wall, no nothing. With House Dems, whatever was left on Trump's agenda is done.

You can always tell who got interested in politics a year or two ago in threads like this. Oh, it's just a major branch of the US government, no big deal, it's not like that matters right?

Mueller was probably waiting to see what kind of seats he had to work with before announcing anything.

Although the house can probably protect him for much longer now if he wants, plus house subpoenas

They passed a shitty tax reform that put more money into the hands of our corporate masters (who then used the money for stock buybacks and bonuses for their executives).

Taking money from the middle class and giving it to billionaires is a pretty major thing.

This whole thing pretty much guaranteed another six years of President Trump.
