America now has the ability to put a “check” on the wilder excesses of the totally corrupt and morally bankrupt Trump Administration.
This means that for the next two years there will be at least ONE branch of the Congress that will be fulfilling its duty to “oversee” the Executive Branch!
Does this mean that we’ll see massive ‘gridlock’ in Congress? No, not unless you define ‘gridlock’ as the cessation of stupid, meaningless bills that are totally self-serving to a single political party and a tiny minority of constituents.
Note to America: be aware that ANY ATTEMPT by the new House of Representatives to regulate and control the White House will be met with screams of outrage and frustration which should be very familiar to ANY parent who’s ever had to “control” a spoiled baby! Experience has taught us that the proper way to deal with a spoiled child throwing a temper-tantrum is to ignore it once you’re sure it can’t hurt itself or others – we just need to remember to check Donnie’s diaper once in a while to make sure he hasn’t ‘soiled’ himself while kicking and screaming on the carpet of the Oval Office.
Changing leadership in House committees will be where it happens, let’s hope it’s good, because the last two years have been HORRIBLE, especially on environmental issues, and all science, regulations to protect us.

They’re drowning in the tidal swamp of their own making.

Unexpected things, even discontinuities, happen at political inflection points.

Sessions just turned in his resignation. This means Trump can now appoint someone who will cancel the Mueller investigation.
