For starters, we know that nothing will be done for a minimum of 2 years, it will be obstruction central. They are already gearing up the impeachment motors, to waste the taxpayers money on something that will never happen.

Pelosi. Oh joy, or should I say there goes all of it, for them, and for America. They will try to ruin from within and of course blame Trump. They are too incompetent to hide their tracks, so get prepared if they win... :rolleyes:

A Democratic House majority could be dangerous for our country – here’s why

With the Nov. 6 midterm elections in sight, the message of U.S. House Republicans to voters has been consistent. GOP candidates are touting their pro-growth policies that have led to our nation’s strong economy and increased paychecks for millions. They are contrasting that with the increased chaos and disorder that a Democratic-controlled House would bring.

To make that contrast clear, Republicans have explicitly pointed out that should Democrats take control of the House they will reinstall Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., as speaker. That would allow her to pursue a far-left agenda that would stunt the aforementioned positive developments.

What gets less attention is the fact that not only would Pelosi be leading the House, but she’s said her chief lieutenants would replace GOP leaders atop some of the most important congressional committees. These individuals would have wide latitude to make decisions and impact policy in stark opposition to how Republican committee chairs have operated.

For example, currently at the helm of the House Armed Services Committee is Rep. Mac Thornberry, R-Texas. He has been a champion for America’s military by giving our troops their largest pay raise since 2010 and making the most significant investment in our armed forces in a decade-and-a-half.

But if Democrats win majority control of the House, Rep. Adam Smith, D-Wash., would assume the chairmanship of the Armed Services Committee – and that’s worrisome for supporters of a strong military and a strategic national defense.

Smith has said we must take a more “realistic” view of our defense budget and claims that the current National Defense Authorization Act spending is “too high.” Under his chairmanship, Democrats would push to roll back the gains that the Republican-controlled Congress and President Trump have made in strengthening our military. Smith would instead divert funding that should go to our troops into other areas of government.

A House controlled by Democrats would also leave Rep. Maxine Waters, D-Calif., on deck to chair the House Financial Services Committee. The group Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington (CREW) has labeled Waters “one of the most corrupt members of Congress.”
