Where does your speaker go for votes on his bills? His good friends across the aisle tell him what he can and can’t pass. 90% of what he passes dies in the senate upon arrival and he knows that and the Democrats know that, yet cites it like it’s the law of the land.

The conservatives in rebellion will force the establishment riff-raff in the GOP to cross the aisle time and again for more votes from their communist friends. In some cases it will be hidden as much as possible from Republican voters, in others it will be hailed as “bi-partisanship” yet the results are the same, Democrat/Communist/Republican party ideology and policies are advanced and conservative policies are voted down or never brought to the floor for a vote.

The conservative faction in open rebellion is exposing the Republican Party worshippers dear little club to the voters for what it really is, an instrument to control the conservatives and the political opposition to the Democrat/Communist/REPUBLICAN liberal agenda. The Democrats/Communists could care less, they still run the show but the Republican liberals are terrified of losing more $ at the federal tit as the minority party.

Biden will not be convicted in the Senate, but that should not stop an impeachment. The MSM is not covering the Biden Crime Family saga. The only way to circumvent MSM censorship is to hold an impeachment trial in the Senate. The MSM will have to cover it.

The Dems had no problem in impeaching Trump in December 2019 over Ukraine.

Pelosi announced an impeachment inquiry (no floor vote) on September 24, 2019.

10 Dec: House Democrats unveil two articles of impeachment against President Trump - abuse of power and the obstruction of Congress

18 Dec: The House votes in favor of both charges, impeaching the president and setting up a trial in the Senate in the New Year.

The articles were submitted to the Senate on January 16, 2020, initiating the trial. The trial saw no witnesses or documents being subpoenaed, as Republican senators rejected attempts to introduce subpoenas.

On February 5, Trump was acquitted on both counts by the Senate, as neither count received 67 votes to convict.

Timeline Trump impeachment

For all the new members of the Matt Gaetz fan club, I submit that he is nothing more than a crass opportunist and provocateur who gets his thrill from being in the spotlight, when in fact he has no end game in sight for the current logjam.

it's always a GOPe Tell when someone opens up a comment with insults. I'm not exactly sure what the endgame for Gaetz will be, but I'm certain how you Country Clubbers will end up. The Party you kneel before is in a state of collapse. If people like you were allowed to push forward a candidate, h/she wouldn't get 40% of the vote. So much for your principled conservativism. Today, I'm living in a political world that is fun. To see stuffy, condescending people like you spend time posting to me is pure joy. When your System collapses, and it will, I will declare that the biggest win of all. Carpe diem!
