And I thought it would be hard to top this:
Matt Gaetz is looking pretty stupid right about now.
He should have had a plan in place with the votes necessary to install Jordan before triggering the motion to vacate McCarthy.
I don’t think he looks stupid AT ALL and I appreciate the fight in his belly for US, the American people. Washed out wussies are of NO value and that includes those that advocate for them.
“Matt Gaetz is looking pretty stupid right about now.”
Yep, loose cannons are seldom constructive.
Never go to battle without a winning plan.
Why does he look bad?
He literally just exposed a nest of seditionists who are nothing more than uni-party plants pretending to represent constituents.
Look them up, the represent lobbyists and foreign governments, not the people!
Nonsense.
You can't whip 218 votes AGAINST a sitting speaker while that speaker is in power. The plan was to vacate McCarthy and then whip up the vote and try to win. Gaetz lost absolutely nothing trying.
McHenry = McCarthy. They are both part of the establishment uniparty. We are simply back to where we were before Gaetz heroically tried to change the GOP leadership that is destroying our country.
Agreed. Several are coalescing around the idea that it wasn’t necessarily bad to do this but he did it with no plan. Now we are in a cluster as a result of no plan.
Gaetz can prepare to become a burger flipper at this point for all I care.
“Matt Gaetz is looking pretty stupid right about now.”
That’s because he is stupid. A back bencher with no plan. So, now the alternative is McCarthy lite, lol.
Between points A and B, the GOP is made to look incompetent and not worthy of governing.
The Dems will gain a 30 plus majority House, expand the Senate and keep the WH. FOOLS !!
I’m as annoyed of the tried political cliches as anyone, but the one about the dog who chases the car with no plan on what to do when he catches it is apropos here
—”Matt Gaetz is looking pretty stupid right about now.”
Looks like he received his end of the deal.
Gaetz is a snake in the grass.
“DOJ tells Matt Gaetz that he won’t be charged in sex trafficking probe, his lawyers say”
Nice of them to drop the charges against a Republican.
Cui bono?
The expression “The Perfect is the Enemy of the Good” certainly applies to the House GOP caucus.
The defenestration of McCarthy (as imperfect as he was) has let loose a spiral of infighting that Republicans are unable to stop.
Gaetz was an idiot to push the button on his negotiated "declare the speaker position vacant" power. Seems like he did it just because the could. And as a result moved up Patty Murray in the succession scheme.
I am certain beyond any doubt that this "pro tem" scheme will be challenged by the Rats should the dementia-riddled pResident finally get 25th-ed and something happens to Heels Up.
What a Morton's Fork*! President Harris or President Murray. WTG Gaetz.
* A choice between two equally unpleasant alternatives
Gaetz gave the House and us a chance to get a better Speaker. It’s the Republicans who didn’t rally behind Jordan who failed us, not Gaetz.
Toast, not sure. But the optics are clownish.
And I thought it would be hard to top this:
MAtt Gaetz is a great American. You on the other hand............
The American people need to see exactly how feckless the GoPE is. This is the only way to open people’s eyes.
