The House minority is by far the weakest component in the government. There’s not much they can do but complain.

They will be totally ignored by the Dems.

The dems have gone so far as to lock out Republicans from committee meetings..............

Well, of course. That is part of being in the minority. The House is not like the Senate. In the House, the majority runs the House - they don’t need to consult with the minority. The Repubs did not consult with the Democrats in the House, either.

until we kick the tires and light the fires, you bet!

or was it slit the tires and set car fires... < / antifa >

I imagine Trump has a way to leverage that nearly 50 percent of the reps to do something... MORE than expected.

what CAN they do, that they have not tried yet? Oh I KNOW... start taking classes in triggering unlimited debates and How to bypass rules of parliamentary procedure... on minor “rabbit hole” technicalities.

what is fair for the goose... and all...

I think that's the norm now. How much House business have the Democrats been allowed in lately. Hopefully it will be a short time in the wilderness and the GOP will win back a majority in 2020.
