13. Regardless, the repubs have the majority.

I don't see any reason to support them and their agenda. Jordan, ergo trump, are whispering directions. The constitutionality is suspect. The repubs know what's happening and refuse to step up for the country. If they did, they would be excoriated.
They can't elect a speaker because there is no one in their party willing to defend the country over their need for support from the haters of democrats and democracy.
If we give them an escape, we will only give them fuel to go on.
They are opposed to government; evident by their inability to govern.
Their voters don't get that.
Let them fester some more.
