Gentleman you can have debate in here this is the US House of Representatives in the US Capital building for Gods sake!
Rogers a GOP establishment drone goes after a fellow Republican and all is well with the anal retentive GOPE.
20 Republicans openly debate and question the leaderships direction in a setting where debate is supposed to occur and the establishment declares them and their supporters terrorists, insurrectionists and narcissists.
DANGIT! Beat me to it!!!
The uniparty is full of psychos.
Part of my post from another thread explaining what all was going down, based on multiple reports today:
Gaetz masterfully did not vote on the 14th one when his name was called, but got his partners to set it up so that he was the last one left to vote, and his lone vote was then in position to swing the result one way or another.
This was about the time that McCarthy came up to where Gaetz was sitting, and they had a pretty tense exchange, with each pointing fingers at one another. Then, as a dejected McCarthy was walking away, realizing his plan to win on that 14th vote was toast, was when Rogers started shouting at Gaetz, and was pulled away. The “lunge” accusation is false, he was simply leaning towards Gaetz, but still several seats full of people away from him.
Then, the vote to adjourn began. It was all the way down to passing, with basically every vote cast, to the point the networks were already speaking of how damaging it was going to be to McCarthy that he was unable to win on the 14th, which he had been counting on, and that it would now be 3 more days until the next vote.
Apparently at this last minute McCarthy realized he had been outsmarted, and things weren’t going to get any better over the weekend, and gave in to whatever the last demands of Gaetz were.
At this point, Gaetz actually comes down to McCarthy, and they have a pleasant exchange, before McCarthy and and entourage of Republicans all rush up to the front to change their votes to NOT adjourn.
“Get the picture?”
Yes. We see.
He’s afraid his gravy train is off the tracks.
They've become like battered wives who come to believe that was the normal way of doing things.
It's like the tortured prisoner who's afraid to leave his cell after the rescuers kill all the captors.

This was a nothing burger. In 1858 A 30 person brawl broke out on the floor of the House arguing over slavery in Kansas. Over the years there have been many physical altercations in both the House and Senate.
Junior High stuff. Pathetic.
Did he change his name? He looks Ukrainian.
Hardly a lunge.
“Maybe Rogers had his rug on too tight.”
LOL; I noticed that too.
This is the way things are supposed to work. Tensions rise, people get mad, passions are high. Nowhere does it say that everyone must be polite. There is no room for “vibes monitors” in lawmaking.
Men are just too emotional. I don’t think they should be involved in politics.
/s
What you described nicely there seems to me to just be politics. I don’t get the excitement over it.
EXCELLENT OBSERVATION AND ANALYSIS.
KUDOS (I’VE NEVER USED THAT WORD BEFORE IN MY LIFE!).

Thank you! It took me twelve hours to figure it out myself LOL.
LOL!
