The government doesn’t shut down over this. The House just can’t do any business before the Speaker is elected, which means Congress cannot pass any bills until the issue is resolved.[/quote]

Let’s imagine for a minute the kinds of things that could happen, virtually instantly as far as outside observers are concerned, that would make having no Congress a problem.

This is really not a good situation.[/quote]

There is no imminent danger to our republic. The nation was far more destabilized after the 2020 election. [/quote]

Am I the only one of us who lived through 9/11?[/quote]

Jan 6th was much more a threat vs 9/11[/quote]

It’s not w competition between the two. The point is that an event like 9/11 happening now would be v. bad. If I know this, surely Putin does as well.[/quote]

Putin doesn’t have the resources to pull off anything close to 9/11.[/quote]

He bombed some apartment buildings, then blamed the bombings on Chechen terrorists to get elected.  Reporters who inquired found themselves dead.[/quote]

Putin will not do anything. It’s not like the US Government is not functioning. The military and security agencies are under the control of the president. If Putin attacked the US would respond against Russia and 3/4 of the republicans would rally round Putin. [/quote]

+1.  And it’s not like Putin is going to make a direct move against the US anyway.  If he did, all of his Republican boosters would be forced to come out against him.[/quote]
