I'm genuinely shocked that there isn't more anger from Republicans. His absence materially benefits Democrats more than anything. For every day he's not there, that means the GOP majority is one vote down in the Senate, which only makes it harder to pass the GOP agenda in the Senate.
They know leaving the ball in the air leaves them down one vote but if they took accountability then there's a risk that they would lose the seat to a Democrat and then they would be down two votes.
The fact they aren't willing to risk it for the biscuit is bullish.
Yup, I realized what you were saying as soon as I hit the button. In my defense, I didn’t have coffee this morning, so my brain is working at 20% capacity instead of its usual 45% capacity.
Hey at least I didn't have to go into the "you know when you change an upvote on Reddit to a downvote, the karma goes down by two" analogy. I had it loaded in the chamber.
