Matt Gaetz, the perpetual chaos agent, is very upset. Congress is not working. The Democrats have the spotlight. But he knows who might be able to fix it: Kevin McCarthy.
I have never missed George Santos more,” Gaetz said.
He’s a piece of work, isn’t he?
“Help, help – save me from the consequences of my own terrible choices!”
“Christ, what an asshole!” – Lucy van Pelt
Apparently my feeling has been deadened and left insensitive.
I can’t find it in me to feel sorry for Matt or the radicals he runs with.
A little schadenfreude, perhaps, though.
Oh yeah, most definitely, and followed by
damned near puts Gaetz in the shot-both-parents-and-asked-for-sympathy-as-an-orphan bucket.
In so many words.
It goes without saying, but Matt Gaetz can GFH sideways.
Matt Gaetz, the Britney Spears of congresscritters: “Oops…I did it again”
It was cute when Britney did it.
Matt Gaetz is very nervous Kevin McCarthy has the goods on his “alleged” molestation of underaged girls and has given the material to the House Ethics Committee and law enforcement.
That’s why he’s trying to placate Kevin McCarthy.
Gaetz doesn’t really “miss” Santos or McCarthy, he just misses their generally reliable votes. That thin margin got a lot thinner.
C’mon People, Flip the House, Secure the Senate, VOTE
That’s the GOP in a nutshell…like how the Democrats have to rewrite all the legislation to fix everything a majority GOP congress breaks. Cuz, ya know, deficits are bad only when a Democrat is President and/or controls congress.
That is not the material he’s a piece of.
off topic
Has TPM addressed yesterday’s ruling by Aileen Cannon? I just stumbled across it in a note from Lawrence Tribe and haven’t actually seen or heard it much of anywhere. She basically is handing the prosecution’s entire case over to Trump and his lawyers and asking THEM to do any redacting to protect the personal information of the witnesses. I kiddeth you not
I might be getting a little demented, but I swear I didn’t see anything about this until I ran across Lawrence Tribe saying this could result in a motion to have her removed.
From the linked article
Most of Smith’s proposed redactions concerned “sealing the identity of potential Government witnesses and their statements,” and in support of that, Smith “refers in general terms to witness safety and intimidation,” Cannon said in the order.
It wasn’t enough.
“Although substantiated witness safety and intimidation concerns can form a valid basis for overriding the strong presumption in favor of public access, the Special Counsel’s sparse and undifferentiated Response fails to provide the Court with the necessary factual basis to justify sealing,” the judge wrote.
Stupid is as Stupid does.
Yeah Matt, Santos is a piece of work, just like you: Both of you are quintessential Nut Jobs. Look it up.
She’s going to get someone killed.
He might also try doing that to Donnie Trump. Both of them would probably enjoy it.
I saw that yesterday but have no way of assessing the accuracy of Cannon’s claims or measuring them against what is normally expected under these circumstances.
Tribe’s comments would be interesting as from an informed observer; but, I am otherwise without a way to assess what Smith’s realistic options are.
