    Seems pretty fucking basic here. No quorum means no business can be done. It’s the first step of any sort of meeting to conduct official business.

    They’re performing fake business to show to their dipshit constituents that don’t pay attention and will believe whatever they’re told.

      A government is only legitimate if enough people believe it is legitimate. Don’t underestimate how easily fake government can become real government, especially with the national press bowing and scraping before Trump.

        Well, they’re welcome to hold out until Walz orders the nat guard to do something about it.

        I’d be okay with the assholes getting the foam-round-to-the-face treatment

            I’m sure he is, and I’m also sure we won’t know what his response is going to be until after the election on the 28th.

            That’s likely to be another democrat, if you’re in 40b VOTE! (Parts of Ramsey county.)

            Iirc, the other seat will be seated when (if,) we win in 40b, the courts have ruled the other guy duly elected, even though under the power sharing repugs are refusing to recognize that.
