What would happen if Republicans had %100 of Congressional seats?
Or a completely lopsided majority. Like say %85 of the House and %90 of the Senate. Could happen after today.

1. Just about what's happening now.
It's not like the Dems there do anything.

6. Exactly what I was thinking
When I was a kid and into hotrods, we used to say, "Nobody can squeeze fewer horsepower out of a cubic inch than Mopar."

Something similar can be said about a Democratic Congress: "Nobody can squeeze less significant legislation out of a Congressional majority than Democrats."
