The far-right representative has plunged the House into chaos—and turned his own party against him.
People hate child rapist Matt Gaetz? Republitards loved him when he was fucking a little girl, but hate him after fucking an old man. It tracks.
hate him after fucking an old man.
With consent, I seem to recall. One more reason they don’t like him.
The growing anger towards Gaetz is unlikely to help him as Republicans weigh whether to expel him from Congress.
Ha fucking ha. No they won’t. There’s still that weirdo liar Santos. If they still haven’t done anything with him, I seriously doubt they’ll do jack dandy to teen sex trafficker Gaetz.
What will it take for republicans to expel one of their own? Apparently child trafficking isn’t it.
This.
McCarthy did the right thing for once, and came up with a solution to the looming shutdown that managed to pass by getting both Republican and Democratic votes. And he got shitcanned for it.
The message here is that as far as MAGA Republicans are concerned, bipartisanship is a firing offense.
Maybe if their constituents actively annoyed them about it for long enough? Far-fetched, but it might just work.
The Realpolitik of the situation is that if they expel Santos, he gets replaced by a Democrat immediately, who will swim to re-election. Gaetz is in a safe Republican district under a Republican governor, so they can replace him without causing any real problems.
Not to even remotely equate the situations, but it’s the same reason why Dems went after Franken and are going after Menendez right now; it doesn’t cost them anything to do so. They’d be much less likely to go after someone like Senator Manchin of WV, Senator Sherrod Brown of Ohio, and Senators Warnock and Ossoff of Georgia unless they were absolutely forced to, since doing so would mean the loss of the Senate.
And it is a genuinely messy question. How heinous an act is worth losing the ability to pass any legislation and make any judicial appointments? I really don’t think there is a clear answer to that. A few Senators made the difference between Roe v. Wade standing and falling.
Breeding fetuses in space, unveiling gender reveal parties, then aborting them to harvest adrenochrome and liquefying the remains to use as a base for COVID shots?
I hated Matt Gaetz before it was cool.
Party of Family Values everyone. And pedophiles, rapists, thiefs, liars, racists, homophobes, and bigots.
Remember that when push came to shove, Democrats kicked Al Franken out of the Senate, while Republicans doubled down in their support for Roy Moore.
While this is absolutely true, it feels unfair to compare Franken and Moore.
You see, your mistake was thinking “family” meant “mom, dad, two kids, a dog, and a white picket fence” when really it means “La Cosa Nostra.”
Well, a less competent version anyway.
“Fly as many underage girls across state lines as you want, but you effed with our power play, so now you have got to go”
What happened with that. Last I heard the FBI started an investigation and then nothing.
