Neither of them are or ever will be famous. They are notorious. Huge difference.

Gaetz, qualifies for infamous.

Not at all. No one will remember him 100 years from now. He's but a gnat on the body politic. He won't ever amount to anything important, good or bad.

In Congress there are show horses and work horses.

That’s it. That’s the post.

Ken Buck has not voted in rounds 9-11.

He’s famously sort of stupid.

He had to leave due to an appointment, won't be back for a couple of days. Several other Republicans apparently can't be there in the coming days either. Will McCarthy be able to force adjournment votes?

Unless the people who're leaving are some of the holdouts, it eats into McCarthy's margins, making it even less likely that he'll "win".

We need 6 to leave, and then we'll have a Democratic leader of a Republican congress.

No, to shift the majority to 212, 12 members have to be absent or present.

I thought it was 13. Anyway, more than the number of absentee Republicans. I think there are 4 that have indicated that they won't be there due to prior commitments.

I had the same thought! I don't think I could lose that many times publicly and keep going.

what? what did I miss?

Nominated Trump, of course.

you could knock me down with a feather. what the actual f*ck.

He's done it before. No idea why his mouth is so firmly attached to Trump's posterior, still.

Do we think this is part of a bigger plan? Or Gaetz being Gaetz.

It’s how he gets clicks and $

I rest my case.

Would that put Jeffries over 50%?
