Who would want to be the guy who is really loved, admired and applauded by the enemy side?

Romney: Me.

Goetz IA stupid, or he’s not serious. You don’t just announce you are going after the speaker, you work smart beyond the scenes. Goetz doesn’t know what he’s doing. And Trump might kneecap him for this. It’s declaring war on Trump.

Damn!!!! Such astute analysis.

McCarthy is working with Mitch and Lindsey Graham - by extension Joe Biden.

The truth is McCarthy can offer members things, and Gaetz can’t.

Gaetz said things about Hunter and the FBi they did not want said, and Gaetz will be expelled or removed one way or another.

They want to protect Joe while lying to the Public, and a Gaetz was aggressive and went too far, in their eyes.

McCarthy wins, and both sides need Gaetz gone. Remember, MTG had already been removed from a Committee position due to her outspokenness regarding Hunter Biden.

Joe Biden has gotten every single spending request from McCarthy and Mitch. You tell me who they’re really working for.

Gaetz is a self centered egotist. I hope he submits his motion and it fails and he pays the penalty in future assignments. If the people of Pensacola FL are smart, they will run another Republican against him in their primary next year. Time to get rid of him.

Politico and Axios are tag-teaming to defend McCarthy. Those two sites are different sides of the same coin.

If they don’t help McCarthy they lose access. Why would they want to cut off access?

Trumps nominee. He could have endorsed one of the fiscally conservative nominees. He didn’t. Why not.

Trump also backed Paul Ryan and Cocaine Mitch. He’s always been a deal maker, not a trouble maker.

If Gaetz can’t get this done he needs to shut his pie hole and banned from Newsmax forever

Gaetz has a way of letting his mouth write checks that his ass can’t cash.

This is the same dope who insisted in early 2021 that he had lined up enough Republican House members to get Lizard Cheney dumped from her GOP leadership post.

She kept her post by a 145-61 vote.

I’m not thrilled with Gaetz’ actions here - but the Dems response to defend McCarthy is telling,
