World is crumbling while GOP deals with squabbles

What happened to truth or courage? The GOP is in shambles. it is certainly not in good shape to try to win any elections. How irresponsible of a few in the GOP to hold the country hostage while they demand to have their own way. What happened to fair discussion — and truth?

We have a former president tossing insults at those he doesn't like while persisting in the lies that he should have won the 2020 election. His desires are personal, they are not visions for the good of the country. He only has 91 charges against him. Oh, and he expressed support for the call to hang vice president. We also have George Santos who still is in Congress while he has just 21 charges.

So the House cannot rally its members sufficiently to organize a leader who will not be thrown out by a few, let alone deal with the affairs of the country.

Meanwhile the capacity of the USA to deal with world issues is in disarray. Hamas unleashed a worst case attack on Israel and Russia continues to attack Ukraine. Congress is paralyzed.

People around the world are upset. We just have to look at our borders. Climates are changing, gun violence is increasing, technology is changing lives and billionaires are resisting being taxed for the good of the people.

These are the real problems that GOP should be discussing, not squabbling for personal power! Elections are coming.
