If I'm even late to work once, I'll get at least 3 angry calls from my boss wondering if I'm still alive and that if I don't show up within the next 30 minutes I should start looking for new employment. How does this guy get to just not show up for FIFTY days and still have a chair/office waiting for him if he ever does return?

Well if Feinstein and this guy are both able to, at different times of course, have debilitating health complications that prevent them from showing up to work for major corporate interests maybe it's time for a younger class of corrupt politicians.
Aliens
Probable dead from auto-erotic asphyxiation, in a leather gimp suit, hanging in a wardrobe.
I don't think so. Probably figured out if he doesn't show up, he still gets paid. That being said, there is a non zero chance he is found hanging from a noose in his closet, with his shriveled dick in his hand.
They're gonna find his mummified corpse locked in his attic or something.
Least destructive republican.
Is the GOP about to go all 'Weekend At Bernies' on this guy?
Dude is probably dead and they just won’t tell anyone to retain power.
What power does he have if he doesn't vote?
A no vote over a democratic vote.
If he was dead it would be news. He's the latest in a long line of nepo babies. My guess is rehab, or something else damaging that rich people are used to burying.
He's probably just hiking the Appalachian trail, starting at the Argentinian end.
That’s the one in a hotel in Virginia, right?
With any luck, he fell down a well and has been surviving on bugs.
And with just a bit more luck, that is where he will remain.
Sending him well-wishes.
I wish I could feel the same ( *throws quarter in well ) but unfortunately I need the closure of a special election to replace him.
Hair transplant?
Didn't they find one senator from the south or something in a memory care facility?
Congresswoman from the Dallas area, yeah
Kean consultant Harrison Neely told the site that Kean “will be back on a regular full schedule very soon.” Union County GOP Chair Carlos Santos said, “I don’t even know the truth myself,” yet indicated he was texting with Kean “and was told he’ll be fine.”
As one does/is.
And he will probably get re-elected simply because he has the magic (R) next to his name.
He got elected because his father was one of the more respected governors New Jersey had, and he was using those coattails. :(
Was he last seen with Kash Patel? Could just be on a bender.
A New Jersey political figure is missing?
Is it Thursday already?
He's just hiking the Appalachian trail, no biggie.
