Both Republican and Democratic senators emphasize that any successor to Kevin McCarthy will inherit the divided government that befell him — with another shutdown looming.

Exactly . This looks great for Gaetz since he only cares about pandering to the Nazi extremes of his party. He doesn’t care if the government shuts down, to him that’s just stopping the democrats. He will spin it that way and his base will lap it up. Most won’t be impacted and the ones who are he figures won’t matter.
Our government is effectively frozen and at the end of the month it’s going to shut down entirely. A handful of maga fucks have figured out how to do that with our antiquated rules set in place by men who believed all men would forever possess a conscience and morality. These shit goblins possess neither.
We need a democratic super majority so that we can pass sweeping reforms and ensure this doesn’t happen again. We need the ability to oust these cucks so they’re forced to scurry back into whatever hole they crawled out of. Trumps going down. Rudy is broke. Johnny MyPillow is eating shit. Keep that energy, focus in on the rest of these traitors. Send them back to the dysfunctional states that shit them out and remind them that their federal funding is dependent on them not being complete ass hats. No more pandering to these idiots. Bring the hammer down hard.
I’ll bet 100 USD that Gaetz isn’t around much longer. My guess is that he’ll be bounced out of the HoR before the end of the year, maybe right after they restart in 2024 but no longer than that. He ended his political career with this stunt.
I’d love to see it but the republicans have to do it themselves and they’ve shown that there’s next to nothing they won’t tolerate to keep a voting body.
Now what’s interesting to me is Madison Cawthorn going down pretty much immediately. And what did he do that bought him such a quick exit? While they’ll claim x or y, to me it was him talking about republican cocaine orgies. Which sounds outlandish. But there was an immediate concentrated effort to oust him. He had that picture get dropped and whatnot. What spooked them? Odd that such an outlandish thing would get them worked up. Unless of course it’s true. Hrmmmm.
I don’t know I just heard an NPR article where they were interviewing people from Pensacola and it seemed the stupid republicans were happy he made this move.
He’s going to run for Governor of Florida, and he is currently popular enough to win.
All he needs is for his red district to continue to vote for him. They obviously like him, they like that he is in the news and sticking it to the establishment. His district is way up in the panhandle, it’s more Alabama than Florida. He’s in no danger of losing his seat.
Ethics Violations Committee says otherwise. There’s a large portion of the GoP that will cheer his removal and the Democrats won’t even think twice about voting for him to get booted.
That would risk pissing off the MAGA base. Like really piss them off. I doubt they would make that move, but it’s possible.
I don’t think the MAGA base is going to matter much. There’s not nearly enough of them in the House to save Gaetz from the Democrats and POd Republicans. If that vote gets called Gaetz is going to get the boot. This is an opportunity for establishment / moderate Republicans to throw a lasso around the Chaos Caucus.
And then trump rails against anyone who voted out his buddy Gaetz and calls them RINO’s and they get primaried.

Anytime it stops government and/or creates chaos, I smell Bannon’s slimy little, fat fingers doing their thing. That dude needs to be put in jail again.
Start volunteering for 2024 then! We all got some work to do in the elections this year
