Another morning of republican “leadership.”
No Speaker, no oath of office, no security clearances, no functioning House of Representatives.
Six times so far.

If they are not seated, we should not pay them – save the country some money. Congress is becoming as crazy as the English Parliament.
They get paid starting on January 3rd, if I recall correctly. However, if this isn;t settled by January 13th House staff stops getting paid.
That seems backwards, staff are not the responsible people. Perhaps there will be a staff rebellion – I would love to see a rebellion.
A quote, last night from a cable news network talking head:
“Big British Parliament feel without the intelligence or the functionality”
