Those 60 or so Texas Democrats that fled the Lone Star State to prevent passage of a voting integrity bill are looking for a way out of the disaster it has become.  It has backfired so badly that behind their self-congratulatory rhetoric they obviously are getting worried.

It has been a fiasco from the very beginning, posting photos to social media revealing a case of Miller Lite accompanying them on their bus to the airport, and the maskless smiling doofuses on their private jet smiling as they flouted the annoying air travel mask requirements forced on everyone else.

Then the outbreak of Covid “cases” that infected White House staff and a Pelosi aide (really, just positive PCR tests, but they are trapped by the fear porn rhetoric they and the agitprop media employ to scare people into imagining dire illness from every “case”) cemented their maskless flight’s reputation as reckless. Those smiles on the private jet make them look like idiots in retrospect, and certainly don’t help them claim a serious purpose.

Now, after marinating in mockery, they are starting to complain about a lack of support from the White House. From the Dallas Morning News (hat tip: Red State)

    “I’m at the point where I’m pissed off that Joe Biden, our president, not only won’t meet with us — he’s not gonna meet with us, he’s gonna use COVID as an excuse not to meet with us — but he won’t even Zoom,” Rep. Richard Raymond of Laredo said Thursday during a virtual meeting with U.S. Rep. Lloyd Doggett of Austin.

"Two fugitive Texas Dems return home..."

Well, were they arrested upon their arrival back in TX?
As the Texas Pubbies promised they would be?

Didn't think so...

If they arrested just those two, then for sure not enough of them would come back before the session is over to form a quorum.

I thought only 51 democrat left.  They should only need one back to reach the 100 needed for quorum.  Have others left?

...That means 100 members of the 150-seat House must be present in the lower chamber and 21 of the 31-seat Senate must be present in the upper chamber....

...With at least 51 out of 67 House Democrats absent, there will not be enough members present to conduct business as usual under House rules....
