Remember when we used to make fun of parliamentary governments when they became “without a government.”
Well joke’s on us right now with a Speakerless House.

Sounds like an issue for Republicunts.
And people who want to fund death, which is a shockingly large number of Democrats.
Deaths would happen regardless if they can't defend themselves
The US has blocked every opportunity for a negotiated peace, thereby causing tens of thousands of needless deaths, with nothing to show for it. The National Interest: How Will the Ukraine War End?
In the early weeks of the war, peace was still possible before the unimaginable loss of life, the devastation of infrastructure, and the loss of land in Ukraine. That peace was possible three times: in talks in Belarus, in talks mediated by then-Israeli Prime Minister Naftali Bennet, and, most promisingly, in talks in Istanbul. In all three, the war could have been ended on terms that satisfied Ukraine. In all three, Ukraine was willing to renounce membership in NATO. And, in all three, the United States blocked the negotiations.
It's a problem for all of us. One of their main goals is making the government look useless, which is what it looks like to a lot of citizens. It may put a minor black mark on Republicans as a whole while they parade their clownshow around, but it puts a much longer lasting stain on the concept of government as a whole for a lot of people. Which is exactly what Republicans want.
Not really.
They own this and its only hurting themselves. Its better than them having a well functioning machine having horrible policies and getting them done.
This is a good state.
