Basically nothing

But I'm guessing they'll be less amendable to AWB 2.0.
At the state level they might even be good on guns. Everything else they'll be crap or ok

What's the over/under on whether capitulation or posturing happens first? The GoP could win an epic supermajority and the elite RINOs would "reach across the aisle" and start pretending they were the minority party within milliseconds.

I'm okay with this. Even with both houses, it will be a constant fight to keep FJB's administration from continuing on their path of American destruction.

This. The republicans are all show and NO go.

I expect all Republicans to contact their representatives to let them know what they need to be working on.

Maybe we (arfcom) could start a weekly thread to pick a topic that we will all contact our representatives about, to give them guidance and put pressure on them.

two years of tough talk, blaming the other guy. then they focus on 2024 with more tough talk and promises. just hoping for a landslide so I can enjoy liberal meltdowns for my own personal satisfaction. if whitmer and nessel lose here in michigan it's gonna be epic, fingers are crossed.

Investigate Fauci and his role in the origins of Covid 19 as well as lying to Congress
Investigate Hunter Biden’s crooked business dealings
Investigate the FBI/DOJ for the Steele dossier, FISA abuse, Jan 6, Hunter’s laptop

Who am I kidding? None of that will actually happen…

just a couple starters:

-inform the ATF that all NFA background checks must be accomplished in 30 days or less and same day for all people on file

-pass a law prohibiting mandatory medical procedures, make religious exemptions clear and final

-eliminate the ability to become a sanctuary city or state for the sake of hiding illegal entry into the US

I expect nothing... The American republican is notorious for their spinelessness. They won't be able to pass any meaningful legislation as they'll still have the ole "sniffer in chief" in office to veto everything. I expect it'll be business as usual with a lot more promises of everything, and excuses made for why we get nothing. Look at the bright side though at least they can block the attempts by the progressives to pass their useless agendas.

They won't win the house or senate.
Even if they did win they would do absolutely nothing except go on tv and say we need to do something. The system is rigged and our government broken and moraly bankrupt.
We all sat on our asses and let things get too far out of hand and now it is too late even if people stood up and did something it wouldn't ammount to a hill of shit.
Just turn off the news and go outside and enjoy what freedoms we have left because you didn't care enough to fight for it when you could so why worry about it now.

Over the years I watched the GOP come and go, and I would expect bunches of infighting, with nothing really accomplished. I have watched Kali GOP, decimate itself during the Jim Brulte years; and the result the Kali government that we have today.

This.

Pass a budget that makes nobody happy. Don't move liberal bills out of committee. Push out a few meaningless conservative bills to keep the base energized enough to show up for 2024.

You ask about what we "expect".

You do not ask what we "want".

I expect the Republicans will NOT take the House.

I expect they will lose the Senate.

I expect the Republicans will do nothing with a legislative majority were they to unexpectedly have both the House and Senate.

My expectations are based upon their past performance.

I expect a bunch of chest thumping, do nothing bullshit talkers just as they have ALWAYS done. Fuck the system and the shitty politicians. Change my mind before I hope or praise you assholes.
