*I never heard of Mike Rogers until two days ago.

ACU lifetime rating = 77.96 - meh. AL can do better, but I am not sure it well. Watching closely our new freshman GOPe Senator Katie Britt. Am not expecting much good from her.

Why can’t you just discuss the topic of the post, rather than resort to petty insults? You are better than this.

“ It’s clear if looking at the feed from one of the cameras. The guy just leaned in. If the other guy hadn’t grabbed him nobody would’ve heard about it.”

My first impression also. The man behind Rogers is some kind of drama queen. An obvious overreaction.

The Homeland Security Committee chair should know what a terrorist is.

I think that’s one of the basic qualifications.

Rogers got it started before even the first vote, by threatening Gaetz and anyone else on that committee, that if they didn’t vote for McCarthy, he would kick them from it:

Alabama’s Mike Rogers ‘promised’ committee bans for those who don’t vote Kevin McCarthy speaker

https://www.al.com/politics/2023/01/alabama-congressman-promised-committee-bans-for-gop-colleagues-who-dont-vote-kevin-mccarthy-speaker.html

Despite this threat, Gaetz then blatantly pulled every string to deny McCarthy, for several days, culminating in him being the last and final deciding vote to block him on the 14th vote, which was critical because at that point McCarthy had already declared to the media he had the votes to win that time.

It was then that first McCarthy, then Rogers, then Crenshaw all came, one after another, to voice their displeasure with Gaetz. It’s still a little uncertain what happened after that point, that resulted in McCarthy finally winning on the next vote, but Gaetz clearly seems to have secured the last laugh.

At least in this episode. I’m afraid there will be more to come, so please use this moment to set your compasses on who to support from here.

He was in the aisle and Gaetz was 4 seats in.

Yes. Interesting the propaganda value of a nicely timed photo. A fighter would not have let that stand. So leaning forward is grounds for restraint?

I’m less concerned about the impact on this congressmen as opposed to how propaganda can be used.

Mike Rogers went after the wrong man. He should have gone after Jerry Nadler. The optics would have been hilarious.

I am in Alabama. Rogers is not that bad, either.

He sued in Federal Court to have the 2020 elections thrown out in Mich, Wisc, Penns, and Arizona. He voted NO to certify the election results (on January 6th).

He stood with Pres. Trump when a hell of a lot of the GOP ran into the tall grass.

Why can’t you just discuss the topic of the post

Well, you see, Hoft is a queer.

He's got a little Filipino "wife".

That isn't my fault.

He's got no moral platform to be "writing" anything for public
consumption without these facts being taken into account.

Apparently, he was shooting his big mouth off with threats.

Um, the word is Rogers was drunk as a skunk and the guy who grabbed him was saving him from himself.
