Turnabout is generally considered fair play: what you do to me, I can do to you. This form of equality is about to play out in Washington, both in legislation and investigation.
With the GOP taking control of the House of Representatives, talking heads have begun warning that a small faction such as the Freedom Caucus will force its agenda on new House Speaker Kevin McCarthy and the bulk of establishment Republicans.
Americans have seen similar events play out over the past two years. A small segment of the Democrat party – the four-member “squad” – has dominated policy decisions and the airways despite the fact they do not represent the majority of Democrats who are much less radical than Representatives Ocasio-Cortez or Omar.
As the squad is considered radical left-wing or even socialist, the Freedom caucus has been labelled right-wing or highly conservative. The Freedom caucus includes Jim Jordan (OH-4), Matt Gaetz (FL-1), Chip Roy (TX-21), and Louie Gohmert (TX-1) as well as 40 other Republicans. Freedom caucus membership is by invitation only.
The caucus has radical plans such as limiting the debt ceiling and other fiscally conservative moves; reversing Biden’s Executive Orders that limit domestic production of oil and gas; rule changes that nullify federal over-reach by agencies such as EPA, OHSA, and FDA; changing Democrats’ permissive laws that encourage crime and urban violence; and enforcing immigration laws currently on the books but which are being ignored. The word radical is in italics because that is what these actions will be called, even though they are consistent with the desires of most Americans, regardless of political affiliation.
Watch for rage-soaked vitriol in mainstream media claiming turnabout is not fair play. Democrats will loudly cry “foul” when Republicans behave as they (Democrats) did in the policy arena,

A leftist meltdown is what I want for Christmas.
What goes arund comes around. But now I want substantive change and school reform needs to be a priority. Indoctrinating kids into loyal Democrat leftists is not a good thing.
Get er done Vern!

Their “agenda” is DOA in the Senate so this is just political posturing. They have one job: Slow down and if possible STOP the leftist agenda. Vote no, then adjourn.
The Republicans will talk and posture a lot but in actuality do very little. McCarthy and company will see to that.
Is it true that the Chairman of the Oversite Committees can refuse to allow representatives on their Committee?
Who decides who is on Committees?
I want our feckless band of Rs to prove that they can finish the border wall and arm it, deport illegals including DACAs, eliminate mail-in balloting, a-a-and hold hearings all at the same time.
Right now IMHO they have trouble walking and chewing gum at the same time.
McCarthy and Mitch are both basically worthless. The Democrats will face little if any repercussions for their endless harassment of all things Trump.
Repubs just needs some one liners to silence disturbed Dems.
As Elon Musk replied to CBS when they announced they will
not play in the Twitter sand box anymore.
Elon replied, “Our love will never die.”
Here’s another good comeback.......when Dems say, “It’s Repubs fault.”
Just reply .....saying that makes Dems “feel good” about themselves.
Dems will be virtue signalling and mouthing off.
Repubs should remind Dems, “Silence is a virtue, too.”
