Representative Matt Gaetz explains why he cannot support the effort by Marjorie Taylor Greene to vacate the chair and remove Speaker Mike Johnson. {Direct Rumble Link}
As outlined by Gaetz, there are two or three specific republicans, former democrats, who will vote to support Hakeem Jeffries if the opportunity arises. With all of the exits from the GOP House team noted, it will be a struggle to keep the house in republican control in 2025 even with a resounding victory by President Trump. WATCH:

Ukraine is the last line of defense before Neo-Soviet Russia and its Communist North Korean and Islamic IRAN allies finish off their deeds of deaths against the West (which includes Israel, Ukraine, Poland, The Baltic States, Scandinavia and many more of America’s allies.
Saying that it’s too costly to defend ourselves / our Western interests against Neo-Sovietism, Communism and Islamism is like saying it’s too costly to fund the police (who will never be able to arrest all the crooks anyway)... Thus, let’s defund the police! Right?
Well, I dont agree with that policy! Such “defund the police/defund our allies” philosophy, would make us slaves.
Slaves to assassins and crooks.
We can’t let that happen.
But we CAN help Ukraine/Israel (thus ourselves and the West) the same way we helped the UK during WW2:
Loans / lend-lease programs.
The UK paid it off the 29th of December 2016.
Thus, it works.
Let’s not forget that Ukraine is officially a very close ally of America since 2008:
THE razor-sharp partnership document is signed here:

Well argued.
Mainly Paul Ryan he vowed not to help Trump in 2017 and led the retirement walkout of 2018 costing us the house. Now he’s on the board of FOX News.
Oh bs! Pull your head outta your butt! A rino isn’t the same exact thing as a Democrat. Annoying, flimsy, weak...YES! Disappointing, corrupt...ABSOLUTELY! I hate that he folded on Ukraine too. But the reality is we have a 1 vote majority. In better times with more breathing room, i’d replace him in a heartbeat. But not right now. The only thing that has prevented the legalization of 40 million new Democrat voter, an expansion of the Supreme Court with 6 new leftist or enactment of national voting law liberalization is our one vote majority control of the house. If the election ends up tied, we need the House to elect Trump. I wish that yall wouldn’t let your rage blind you from recognizing political reality & making tactical decisions that give us the most favorable conditions for succeeding in the long run, growing our majorities & then knocking out the rinos. Having Democrats in control of everything. Mike Johnson has a 92% conservative rating from CPAC; Hakeem Jeffries has a 0% rating. Is he everything that I want, NO. But he is 92 times better than Hakeem Jeffries.
You and others making your argument need to consider some degree of political strategy. If yall keep at all this kamikaze bs & we lose everything because yall you get more angry at disappointing establishment Republicans than than wacko leftist commie assholes, you could be handing them everything. And please don’t bother with your lazy arguments that rinos are worse than dems or we are going to lose anyway. Trump needs a Republican House & Republican Senate to get anything accomplished. I realize yall are frustrated, but it’s an election- please focus on the Democrats. You aren’t doing us any favors!
I already know you are going to say Rinos are worse. Right now we shouldn’t be fighting for ideals or purity;Right now, we need to focus on surviving, preventing disaster & turning out as many votes for Trump & Congressional majorities & all elected offices as possible. We don’t need to be distracted with internal infighting in the middle of an election year. Let’s win this election first.......then we can knock out the establishment. 😉
In what you wrote, what of it, tells a person whom you want to be attracted to vote for Trump . . . to, vote for Trump?
The scary part is that Johnson knows this. He has nothing to fear, and I expect him to only get worse.
“Ukraine is the last line of defense before Neo-Soviet Russia...”
Just... “Neo-soviet”?? Bill Kristol; izzat you?
There IS, in fact, a dangerous cabal that have dragged us to this precipice, but it’s not “neo-Soviets.” Rather, those who well-and-truly comprise today’s “Evil Empire,” are this noxious nest of nutty Neocon nincompoops who have, for more than 30 years, utterly FAILED to grasp the immensely desirable international seismic shift in geopolitical alignments that was laid before, and rejected by, them after the Soviet Dissolution. Had the West put these nutjobs on “HOLD” [preferably by beating them into unconsciousness with tightly-rolled Sunday Editions of The New York Times and stacking them in a basement custodial closet] and, instead, sanely rejected their freeze-dried Cold War mind frame, by now not only the Ukraine, but also the Russian Federation could be part of NATO, and the collective mass of international cooperation properly trained upon the more pressing global issues that bear upon the survival of humanity: virulent Islamism and the airtight containment of Communist China and its satellite states.
Instead we have this sh** show.
History will record that, when Russians ceased thinking of themselves as Soviets, the greatest failure of Western diplomacy in general, and of NATO in particular, was the cataclysmic failure to also cease thinking of Russians as Soviets. The objection may be raised that it would not have been wise to too-readily accept their sincerity, but this wry maxim is the prescriptive for the case: “Keep your friends close, and your enemies closer.” Had we done so, we could have discovered the true depth of the sincerity of Russian overtures of comity and cooperation with the West. Instead, we listened to naysaying Neocons, snubbed and shunned the Kremlin, and an historic opportunity to massively advance global peace and human harmony was flushed down the crapper.
And the flushing continues to this very hour, as those who simply will not entertain the reality that the Russians really did cease being Soviets, have steered US Foreign Policy so as to ensure that now-not-Soviet Russians nonetheless continue to get treated like Soviets; presumably because they might someday so resent these unrelenting insults as to react in some Soviet-looking fashion, whereupon Bill Kristol, the Neo-Con King, can leap to his feet, cry out, “AH-HA! WHAT DID I TELL YOU?” and keel over dead in a smiling fit of giddy, self-fulfilled apoplexy.
If anyplace on Earth really does end up getting nuked, pray to God the Neocons are all at the epicenter of the blast.
Many hereabouts just love him, but the Dems do even more so, as they want to control the House again, really soon.
This entire thread is hilarious!
The kindest thing I can say is the Gaetz Groupies lack self-awareness
THANK YOU!
Gaetz is correct. We’ve always known there were traitors in the ranks.
So you want people who believe in defending the national security of the United States, to be killed.
Including your fellow Freepers.
Take your long diarrhea article of apologies for the ridiculous Russia dictatorship, and shove it.
RINO's sometimes blur the distinction between conservatism and liberalism, making liberalism more acceptable!
Thanks for presenting the well-considered big picture.
I dont agree. RINOs are worthless but if Dems had control, we’d see outrageous bills being passed.
If that happens, its Civil War.
Agreed.
Russia, Russia, Russia…you may have missed it but Hillary Clinton and her trolls really did win in 2016.
All due respect, this wasn’t a post about campaign messaging for Teump. The topic was really centered around the asinine priorities of my fellow conservatives & lack of political sensibility in worrying about removing our House Speaker for his & many of the partys machinations about Ukraine funding- when we have a President violating our Constitutional right, committing fraud in elections & using federal agencies to jail his political opponents. In case you haven’t seen reading, this illegitimate administration is flying foreign nationals t Donald into red states & swing state, getting them SSNs & fraudulently registering them to vote just intimate for the 2024 election. There are multiple DAs, with the aid of FBI & CIA, putting innocent people in jail for essentially opposing Democrats. The Representatives & Courts elected/appointed by leftists are gutting our Constitutional, God-given rights. The Ukraine issue is not the most important issue facing us now. How could that not be painfully obvious by any person paying attention. They aren’t even in the same ballpark or hemisphere.Im beginning to think some of yall are politically retarded. The Democrats are commiting evil acrs, circling the wagons & training their sites on us; meanwhile, many of yall on our side are focused on defeating Republicans. Wtaf??? Dumb as a bag of door knows 🙄
Gaetz is the reason the margin is so thing. He colluded with Hakeem to depose McCarthy and put the GOP majority at risk.
Johnson did not help his position by accepting thousands of dollars for a Russian controlled company with a key member who was friends with Puting. Of course, he has since given it back, but who else in the House has been approached by these Russians? Can Gaetz have been one?
