7 Republicans missed the vote but don't know why.

Easy to spatchcock when they’ve got no spine

These people are rotten through and through. We'd be better off composting them

How nice of them to put themselves on the list of people for serious Americans to vote against next election so early in the cycle. I thought it would take a few months for them to make themselves this known.

Oh what a joyful coincidence.

On its face, this seems like a dirty trick by Republicans. Mike Johnson called a recess, then after members left, called a snap vote on whether to proceed with impeachment with no warning. This entire spectacle reeks of a planned Republican scheme to try to influence the outcome through procedure and sow division within the Democratic party. The Republican House caucus was obviously made aware this was happening so they would stick around.

That any House Speaker can call a snap vote like this is a serious problem for our democracy.

So, the israelis threw a party way the fuck in nowhere right before a critical vote, and there just happened to be a huge traffic jam blocking their only path back to vote?

So, throw a party then crash a truck to continue their war of genocide uninterrupted. It's what their fictional gawd told them to do. Everything is justified by a fictional being that lives in their religious psychopathy.

its thier "remind that have to vote for us party, or we wont give you money " event.

Try again in 2027 when the new congress take effect and the Democrats actually have a majority and not dependent on Republican dissidents, and presumably a Democratic speaker that isn’t interested in blocking the vote.

Why is a vote allowed to go through it representatives are stuck in traffic

I'm actually not sure it will pass the senate even after we get 54 DNC Senators in because I'm pretty sure it's still 60 to remove even though it was 50 + VP to confirm? It's a little confusing.

How many of their constituents will remember this 23 months from now?

Actually, I’d like to keep it that way for now. These fuckers use Microsoft for their confidential emails. I don’t want to imagine the huge security issues they’d create in voting for budgets and legislation.

That just introduces new problems like Mitch McConnell "working from home" and voting on every Republican bill despite having been dead for the prior 18 months.

its thier "give me money now, money need now" party with aipac.

I blame Hakeem Jeffries, minority leader, and Katherine Clark, Democratic Whip.

Clark is even in the same group that some of the missing members attended a meeting of before getting stuck in traffic during the vote.

Also, it didn't matter, this vote was meaningless.

Key in that, had they shown up, it would have passed. Some just skipped it completely, some were "stuck in traffic" but all of them were not doing their jobs.
