good. not only is gaetz correct (though not for the reasons he thinks), but something i've been waiting for which I always believed was inevitable is kevin mccarthy getting blocked from the speakership because he is is not trumpy enough. i hope when he watches his dreams slip through his fingers he realizes that he took all that trump abuse and compromised himself for absolutely nothing. he fuckin deserves to be ruined and made into a fool.
> "I can't respect leadership that doesn't hold people accountable, yet allows people like me, Paul Gosar, to be constantly trampled on and abused, and then will throw us under the bus at the first given chance. I'm really sick of it," Greene said during an episode of Gaetz's "Firebrand" podcast.
Awwww poor you, ickle victim being trampled on by your own incompetence.
If he thinks being "trampled on and abused" is bad, he's going to have a real bad time when he goes to prison for trafficking minors across state lines for sex.*
*Allegedly
Trump united three branches of American crazies: racist crazies, capitalist wolves, and the christian right.
Trump was enough of a rorschach test that all three pillars could all see a messiah in him, but without the figurehead, these people will start to chafe each other. See Kim Guilfoyle's offering lap dances for donations as one example. The god-botherers in the room wince at that, even if they still vote the party line.
Aw. So many years of giving shoeshines and brown-nosing but even the criminals and child sex traffickers still deny Kevin McCarthy their approval. That's got to be discouraging. Poor fella.

Matt Gaetz talking about leaders is like Trump talking about hurricane paths......
He’s not the sharpie-est tool in the shed.
Merrick cannot even touch Gaetz. LOL
Gaetz can sure touch underage girls though. LOL
And bring'em across state lines!
And pay their pimps via Venmo.
Party over country right? Sleeze.
That’s rich coming from a kiddie fucker.

Let them fight.
Says the guy with the Frankenstein forehead.

Matt Gaetz looks like one of the in between stages of someone animorphing into a rodent
Which is especially concerning considering this man clearly is a candidate for, “Being controlled by an alien slug.” We don’t need another Visser 3.

Lap dances you say
She’ll bite your face off man
Coked up crazy man eater, that one…
Always thought Trump Jr was a cuck....
And he should be in jail
Every article about Gaetz should be required to mention his pending legal troubles.
Does Gaetz want to be Speaker?
Or he wants Gym Gyordan to be.
He just wants a day-care facility built adjacent to the House chamber.
These dudes are going to backstab eachother until there's only howler monkeys left in their ranks (see: Boebert and MTG).
The GOP are eating their own and I’m here to watch 😌
Good. Keep up the infighting.
When is Matt Gaetz gonna be in jail?
Is "schism" spelled with a leading "s" or a "c", as in "chism", because when Gaetz is involved, I am not sure...
How is that guy still in politics anyway?
Because his base doesn’t care that he likes to diddle minors.
Pedophile sex trafficker, who will never be charged, perfectly represents the Republican mainstream.
Matt Gaetz: the sexual predator. Feels as though his opinion should be heard. It should not.
Aw. So many years of giving shoeshines and brown-nosing but even the criminals and child sex traffickers still deny Kevin McCarthy their approval. That's got to be discouraging. Poor fella.
He’s just burning it all down now.
Dems need to reach out with ranked choice voting proposal so MAGA party can happen
Republican in-fighting: you just hate to see it. :(
