Like Trump let Geatz be Geatz it is FAR PAST TIME for us to take steps back and be the guy that goes over the edge a little! My God they have LOCKED UP our constituents, they have impeached Trump 2x on utter LIES, they have drug Trump through the court system for BOGUS charges, they have COMPLETELY weaponized our ENTIRE government and you wish Geatz could be a little more mild mannered!! THESE emotional feelings are EXACTLY WHY our nation is where it is today!! If we had MORE of Trump and Gaetz these bastards would NEVER have been able to destroy our nation the way it had been!! We have far too many WIMPS on our side FAR TO MANY for FAR TO LONG!!

One can question Gaetz' tactics, his motivations, and his timing but the following assessments of Gaetz are undeniable: he is among the most intelligent members of Congress; he is one of the top five most articulate members of Congress; he is a bona fide conservative member of Congress.

“McCarthy and all the RINO PACS were throwing everything but the kitchen sink at Matt Gaetz.”


I don’t know about that. I seem to recall the kitchen sink being tossed in there as well. LOL!

It’s hilarious that the media thought this race was going to be close. Great defeat of the uni-party’s candidate.

The GOP politicians purposely set a tone of weakness for the GOP voters to fall in line and follow.

Russian collision hoax?....”We have to let the process play out”.

Blatantly stolen election?....”I haven’t seen any concrete proof”.

Treating January 6th protesters like foreign prisoners in a 3rd world country on trumped up charges?......”That was a sad day for America”.

I remember decades ago, the media and the Democrats freaking out over “the rise of the religious right”.

40 years later, how many of these supposedly religious Red State Christian Congressman and Senators have banged their fists on the desk and shouted “what has this country come to, to have a disgusting, degenerate freak like Dick Levine appointed to a prominent cabinet position?”

Unfortunately, we live in a time with the weakest of men. Slaves to their corporate cubicle jobs. Browbeaten into submission by feminism, the celebration of sexual deviance, and vulger lowbrow popular culture.

I know plenty of people who vote GOP who literally have no balls whatsoever.

I was at an NBA basketball game earlier this year. I love basketball, but I’m no fan of the woke NBA. But it’s something my son and I can do together.

Megan Rapinoe was in the audience and everybody cheered. I booed her loudly, and all these people turned around to look at me in bewilderment. To which I said “freaking degenerate”.

I told a friend of mine about it, and he said “man, I would never have the nerve to do that”. And he’s a Conservative.

It’s all so depressing.

Rep. Matt Gaetz appeared Tuesday night to handily defeat primary challenger Aaron Dimmock in a contest that pitted the controversial Florida Republican against a candidate backed by former House Speaker Kevin McCarthy, whom Gaetz ousted last fall.

Good for Mr. Gaetz, the Deep State takes the loss. I looked up his opponent, Mr. Dimmock, who until now, I knew nothing.

The Deep State loves running retired military candidates, the Deep State mindset is built in. My rep, Jen Kiggans, is retired Navy and a solid Deep Stater, no different than the retired Navy Democrat Elaine Luria , of J6 Kangaroo Court fame, that Kiggans replaced. Not a dimes worth of difference, as Kiggans fills in as an Associate Democrat when needed.

It’s sickening as Kiggans is “marketed” as “for the vets”, when in reality she’s a go along to get along Republi-can’t , willing to sit on their hands until the Dems need a vote, then she takes her thumb out of her arse to vote Dem.

To see this Dimmock character go down in flames is a good thing.

Capture one or both of the political parties in the United States.

The RINOs are not wimps. They are not, and never have been, on the side of conservatives. They are on the same side as the Democrats.

With all due respect, if your friend would never have the nerve to do what you did, is he really a conservative? Not meaning to get personal.

Unfortunately, moral courage is rare. People are afraid of unwanted attention.

I’m a real estate agent who lives in a coop apartment building. I was literally the only person in my building not wearing a mask during the height of COVID.

Everybody was giving me dirty looks, but nobody dared to say a word to my face.

Most realtors would put on the mask in an effort to hopefully get listings in the building, by not alienating their neighbors.

My principles took priority over my financial interests.

I was disgusted by all my fellow realtors jumping through hoops to show how COVID compliant they were to their clients.....”Don’t worry, I’ll make sure nobody opens a closet door thenselves. I’ll have masks and hand sanitizer set up in the foyer. And I’ll make sure that they sign all the COVID disclosure forms”.

LOL... And of course, true to form, the “rules obsessed” female agents were the worst!
