Republicans in the House have done a lot over the last few weeks to show just how unserious they are about governing. But this story from Punchbowl News may contain the most jaw-dropping example of how little concern they have for conducting the nation’s business.
The House GOP leadership has told us they may have to push back consideration of the $14 billion Israel aid package because of expected attendance issues today. Several lawmakers are flying to Texas for former President Donald Trump’s rally in Houston.
And even that may not be the strangest part of this story.
Trump’s rally is set to take place not at a stadium or similar venue, but at Trendsetter Engineering—an oil and gas service company that specializes in offshore drilling.
Not only is there nowhere for even a medium-sized gathering to park, but this location is right off a heavily trafficked highway, on a road that ends just beyond these greasy warehouses without so much as a shoulder to accommodate late arrivals. It’s also at a complex intersection where cars depart the highway at an unusual angle and getting back on is something of a trick.
