Gaetz is a big spending Republican. He voted for several budget extensions, a two-year funding bill, earmarks, etc in the 2017-2018 Congress. Then voted for the CARES Act, CARES Act II, etc.

Spending is out of control. But Gaetz is holding himself out as a maverick. He’s been at the trough along with the others. It’s just easier to be at the trough when your party is in control of both the House and the Presidency.

The Founders separated from England, but they had a plan.

True leaders, always have a plan.

McCarthy was useless. Fair enough. But even leftist revolutionaries have a plan when they do their thing.

What’s Gaetz‘s plan? Keep celebrating in the end zone even after the game has moved on? Continued showboating tweets? More interviews?

LOL. Gaetz did great thing for us. Now we will get new SOTHOR. Most likely a better one. So get over your RINO self.

There are a LOT of Republicans in the House and Senate who I think actually prefer being second-tier power brokers rather than in-charge brokers. They are less stressed, allowed by Democrats to politely offer up their loyal-but-not-too-vocal objection bleats, and then sit back and feast on the scraps that Democrats deign to give them in budgets as their 'rewards.' they get invited to parties, not treated badly by MSM and get to partake in the vast amenities of being a Congressman without all the partisan hassle that goes with.

You can only vote for against what the Speaker allows to come to the floor. We really shouldn't have a King ruling the People's House.
