But losing the House has turned out to be a very big deal. Because Democrats lost nine seats last November and gave Republicans a four seat majority, the United States is no longer governable. We watch with dismay while “legislation” is passed to reduce Pete Buttigieg’s salary to a dollar and investigations continue to impeach Joe Biden and expose the weaponization of government, while George Santos’s legitimacy as a public official is debated and an unknown election-denying extremist becomes the Speaker.
