“”It takes actions, not BS words, to impress me.””
I don’t believe he’s ever been afraid to take action. He doesn’t give the impression that politics is just a way to earn a pension - he was doing fine as a judge, he didn’t need to run. The TEA Party called and he answered the call. TX has always had some great legislators who didn’t need the job - but the job needed them!
He has never shown me that he’s just someone looking out for himself or to feather his own nest. I bet if you asked him, he would say he didn’t need the job but someone had to do it. Why give up a judgeship to take flak? That’s my opinion. I don’t like BS any more than the next person but I don’t see BS in Gohmert’s actions! I’ve always seen sincerity.
There are presently 197 Republicans in the House and how many can you count on to get out in front and call BS on the democrats in the House? I bet you couldn’t name 5. You all wanted miracles performed by Trey Gowdy as if he was the only one representing the Republicans and could get the job done alone. He’s gone and I’m sure there are lots here who are happy. Why fault the ones who are the most outspoken? The ones who care?
Other than the ones who don’t mind speaking their mind, (Gaetz, Jordan, Gohmert, Meadows, Scalise and a few others), none of us would even recognize them if they came to our door - trick or treating!
“I don’t see BS in Gohmert’s actions!”

That’s exactly my point - he has taken no “actions”, he’s just thrown out words - red meat to whomever will gobble it up, ask no questions and thus he can go on with his govt job, reaping the $$$.
It’s not about him specifically, per se, they are all compromised. If we ever see some deeds that match the bold claims, I’ll be much more than happy to stand corrected.
I’d just suggest that it’s wise to be careful about whom one chooses to put on a pedestal.
