The GOP is not interested in actually governing. All we heard from them in the last election was illegal immigration and crime. So now that they have a majority in the House, they are addressing these supposedly crucial issues...by investigating Joe and Hunter Biden. They hate the federal government, or they are capitulating to their donors' hatred of it, so they don't care if it's disabled for the next two years.
The sad part of all this is that they got enough votes from ordinary people to get into this position, people who voted against their own interests to put this authoritarian, elitist group in power. The GOP has convinced a large part of the population that the "libs" don't represent their best interests, that somehow they do. So taking away their safety net - Social Security, Medicare etc. - is good for them? Overturning Obamacare is good for them? Introducing a large federal sales tax is good for them?
