House Republicans Reportedly Looking to Expel Gaetz By Using Findings from Upcoming Ethics Report: ‘No One Can Stand Him’

Fucking a teenager is why Republicans want to allow child marriage. His only crime to them was not marrying her after he trafficked her. That's forgivable. Being unbearable might possibly not be.

And if he isn't a Russian asset, he certainly acts like one.

Of course not, Republicans only pay lip service to children, just ask Dennis Hastert

I mean I loathe all of them too, but the rest of the quote is about his morals, and it's the results of that investigation that they intend to base this on.

Human trafficking is a bonus in their books, but he was mean to them and that will not stand!

Andrew Johnson's impeachment included:

. . . as well before as afterwards, make and declare, with a loud voice, certain intemperate, inflammatory and scandalous harangues, and therein utter loud threats and bitter menaces, as well against Congress as the laws of the United States duly enacted thereby, amid the cries, jeers and laughter of the multitudes then assembled in hearing, which are set forth in the several specifications hereinafter written, in substance and effect . . .

Which is 19th century formal language for "this guy is an asshole".

Mind you, the Senate never voted on this particular article, and Johnson was otherwise acquitted. It remains unclear if you can remove a President for being an asshole, but there is some precedent that suggests you can.

"fucks an underage" has a name. It's "rape".

Well, you see....FUCK YOU!

"Underage prostitute" is more like "a trafficked minor."

I think the difference is that Santos is willing to go along with whatever the Republicans think will keep their majority. Gaetz is willing to burn it all down if it gets him extra social media points right now.

This isn't really about ethics violations, it's about a Republican threatening his party's chances of keeping power.

It's kind of conflicting because I hate him, but I also love how much the Republicans (especially McCarthy) hate him.

I think that's the wrong way to look at it. In fact, I would argue that he is a gigantic gift to American politics.

He wants to do nothing other than fuck with McCarthy, and I couldn't be happier about it.

Yes, he is a degenerate scumbag who deserves to be in jail, but as long as he's not locked up, I'm glad he's in Congress completely screwing with the establishment GOP.

I will say this, and unironically, he's a much better politician than any of the squad, or pseudo left-wing Congressperson, because unlike any of them, he actually completely fucks up the program. And before you say he extracted no political wins from his stunt, he did. His entire point was to weaken McVarthy, which he did.

Just think if AOC, Omar, etc., actually used this type of strongarm tactics to push through even a handful of the programs that the Corporate Dems leave tabled, except when they dust them off for a stump speech every two years.

Seems like the timing is a little off on the third criminal investigation.

There's just something wrong with his face. It's like some alien put together a human but they'd only ever heard descriptions.

Sorry, the GOP is too old for Gaetz to want to sleep with them.

I don't think they let 13 year old boys be congresspeople.

but only if he pays them using venmo..... and they are 14

Let them destroy each other. I'll make popcorn.

I do bite my thumb sir

Some of them literally, I suspect.

I can't stand any of them

The majority of Texans are down for that. He only wins re-election on the basis he isn't a Democrat. No one on either side likes him, the Republicans just tolerate him.

Organizationally the GOP has a lot of respect for an established and convincing liar.

Cause George knows to shut the fuck up and vote properly, they care fuck all about who the politician is as long as they vote along party lines.

He might run for governor of Florida, too. :-o

He can try but he'll never collect more than five votes.

The plan I heard shortly after the election was to make Trump Speaker, then impeach Biden and Harris to make him President again.

But you may be right. Gaetz is arrogant enough to try and adapt the plan for himself.

He looks like a big toe with a face.

His face is the wrong size for his head

He has a very punchable face.

You can tell his mom lab attendant drank quite a bit while he was in vitro.

Right? The projection is crazy.

Get it straight--he looks more like Dollar Store Butthead.

If he's against the party I see Fox news turning on him very shortly

They're about to pay out the ass to Smartmatic. They won't be able to afford him.

I increasingly believe that they don't actually care. For the hardliners, keeping a majority is like a distant second place motivation to just keeping their own jobs, and they are under bigger threat from the right in these districts. Really, the house majority probably ranks like third or fourth somewhere between "get book deal where the RNC buys 100k copies" and "take bribes from Russia." All things which are arguably easier as an opposition party which doesn't actually have to govern.

"Come on, trust me!"

I was picturing the Reservoir Dogs scene. I'll take either.

If we could invent something like a Valdosta Canal connecting Mobile to Savannah, I'd be in to that.

Currently my dream is just to get rid of the Confederate states while keeping the port of New Orleans and navigation rights to the Mississippi River. Then merge all of the states in the middle of the country that have more cows than people into a single state.

Then we're be ready to rock.

Yup we should sell it off as it's just a loss. Sell it to Mexico.
