Congressional Tidbits

The House and Senate has "pro forma" sessions of a few minutes long these days. They provide a means to do something if something came up during a work recess. The Senate [basically to avoid interim appointments from my vantage point] just gavels in and out. The House tosses in a prayer and Pledge. Sometimes, the House has some communication of some sort. That seems not to come up generally for the Senate.

The House chaplain starts with something like "pray with me." This is the sort of extra bit of involvement that strict separation makes a bit more concerning. I notice guest chaplains (the latest a Catholic priest) don't do that as a rule though maybe someone did.

I have also seen some Republican events/debates when clicking through the channels. One thing I find unsurprising if simply absurd is the idea "Biden is a complete failure" or some such. I thought Bush43 pretty bad, but even then, he wasn't a complete failure. The hyperbole is such bullshit, especially given the many things actually accomplished.
