"The House was in session at the Capitol on Thursday, but thanks to the latest procession of Republicans reporting for duty in front of a Manhattan criminal courthouse to show support for former President Donald J. Trump at his trial, the party risked ceding its control of the floor,” the New York Times reports.

“Almost a dozen House Republicans showed up at the courthouse on Thursday…”

“Republicans control the House by such a slim margin, 217-213, that just two defections can sink legislation if all members are present and voting — and just a few absences can erase their majority altogether. The show of support for Mr. Trump from such a large group of members meant that for much of Thursday, the G.O.P. may have handed the floor over to Democrats, leaving themselves exposed on the House floor.”

    People should take you seriously when Democrats start wearing diapers to support Biden.

        I have nothing reversed.

        The poster I replied to was both-sidesing. I pointed out that when Biden supporters wear diapers in support of Biden (the same way Trump supporters wear diapers) then he’d have a point.

          I follow. I missed your point entirely. Sorry about that!

            It’s all good bro.

            Judging by my comment score, either I didn’t make my point as well as I would have liked, or I made a few Trump humpers angry.
