Right now all they want to do is shut down the government, impeach Biden or put his son in jail or both without bothering with that deal where the elected leaders are supposed to be doing the will of the people, but all they can do is try to pass laws making women criminals for daring to have an abortion or going after her in another state for doing that when it is illegal say in Idaho, this is not governing especially when 80% of Americans want legal abortion but do repubs care what folks think? No, just what lobbyist pays them the most.
They are pre-empting Trump's battle cry, I will be YOUR retribution.
@sonhouse saidI guess from the incredibly vocal responses, the answer is never.

Trump actually said if he was reelected he would go after perceived enemies, weaponizing DOJ and the like, total misuse of his POTUS power and that would just be the beginning, going for total dictatorial control of citizens ALA Putin, and the rest of the banana republic dictatorships whom he loves. Hezbolla leaders are very smart is what he said for instance. Love letters to Kim Jon Un.
@sonhouse saidIt wont shut down because then everyone will realise how little they're needed. Your cowering cry for more 'governing' doesn't matter what 'governing' it just needs to be 'governing' as long as your butt is getting 'governed' good and hard is pathetic.

@Wajoma
Pardon me while I barf.
Do you actually understand what governing is? It is NOT making law after law making more and more people criminals like crossing state lines to get an abortion in a state where it is legal. THAT is not governing, that is dictatorial control, which is what I meant by repubs not doing governing but just going after pure power and screw fact they have constituents needing help in one form or another, medical issues, employment, infrastructure like how safe are bridges and the like, repubs could care less about those issues, they just want to do revenge crap like impeach Biden even thought there is zero evidence in that regard and their own lawyers said so in public but that doesn't bother Jim Jordan or the squeaker of the house Johnson. It is pure revenge for daring to bring Trump to justice which he has avoided for decades. But you don't care for any of that, whatever Jim Jordan or Trump says is gold for an idiot like you.,
@sonhouse saidI'm a NZ Libertarian sunstroker, I don't know who Jim Jordan is.

A few of them in the House would like to, but they're outnumbered by the MAGA crowd who want to shut down the government and complete the list in your OP. There is a better than 50/50 chance we'll see a shutdown soon followed by a public backlash similar to the one in the 90's when most voters blamed the House GOP for shutting the government down and not doing the job they were elected to do, and Joe Biden - just like Bill Clinton before him, will emerge as the responsible adult in the room, while the House GOP will face the voters wrath in the next election. Voters are very much against government shutdowns.
They never learn, do they?

'No man is an island' and all that jazz.
@suzianne saidNever said a man was an island bamboozle bamboozle, that's your strawman, I value interactions with my fellow man when they're voluntary as all interactions should be. My employer values me coming to work, I value the opportunity to sell my services to my employer. When I call in for a flatwhite at the cafe I value the coffee and the cafe values their customers.
'No man is an island' and all that jazz.
Nothing about islands and that jazz, that's you make up BS.
@wajoma saidAh, nothing like prostituting yourself to a businessman, rather than the government.

@shavixmir saidIt's long been a theory that you're sucking on the state teat, and here it is, you're trying to equate the voluntary, mutual, noble trade of value for value in the private sector with the poisonous filth of goobermint force. You'd like to bring others down into the sewer with you.

Make the break shag doody for brains, find a real job, we're involved with cranes and civil construction, we build stuff and it's very rewarding. You may feel like a prostitute and there's good reason to feel that way, people in productive effort do not.
@Wajoma
Amazing how you think you know what other folks are doing.
BTW, Jim Jordan is a member of the house, a real assswipe, total Magite, leading a charge right now to try to impeach Biden and even their own lawyers said in public there is nothing there to impeach but that doesn't stop Jordan, which is exactly what I am talking about, he is not in the slightest interested in governing, helping the common folk, he is ONLY interested in using his power to screw up the government, has authored no bills just revenge because his god king Trump is in legal trouble so his response is to attack Biden, and I don't give a rats ass whether you like Biden or think he is a crook, Jordan is abusing his power in office for meager political gains he thinks will help his god king Trump.
Then there is Johnson, Squeaker of the house, wants to make the US into a Christian version of Iran, control control and more control, make abortion illegal no matter if the woman dies, no matter if it is from rape or incest, the bitch can't keep her legs closed, oh, also, he wants to put Jews and Muslims on reservations.
Yep, a real top tier bunch of repubs.
@wajoma saidBetter than sucking on the corporate teat.

When your goal of getting paid interrupts their goal of making obscene profits, we'll see what happens. They'll care less for you than the tax man.
