How much of the committee and witness’ time did this waste? Next person who tries this should be forced to wait outside until the parliamentarian affirmatively says they can participate.

Matt “The Rat” Gaetz? Where is the surprise?
Once again, believing that the rules should not apply to you is a sign of sociopathy. Apparently, it’s quite contagious in Trumpian circles.

Considering the number of speeding infractions and strange escape from a DUI arrest he should never be granted a security clearance. Through intriguing political machinations, Gaetz wasn’t convicted of DUI but he was still ARRESTED.
I’m sure many older TPM readers remember when an employment background question read “have you ever been ‘convicted’ of a crime.” Over the decades the question changed to "have you ever been “arrested’ for any reason.” A lower standard and certain dis-qualifier because the average private sector of government employer isn’t going to care whether the applicant wasn’t convicted–despite stating the applicant can provide proof.
Also, the fact that Gaetz wanted to sit-in and Schiff declined to have whistle-blower No.1 testify lends credence to the belief that Trump wants the whistle-blower killed.
I joked on an earlier thread that Schiff decided against having the whistle-blower testify because Devin Nunes wanted to participate by CCTV from a White House location. That might seem like a sttirical Onion headline, but let’s face it: the Trump administration’s tragically comical and cruel incompetence beats the Onion headlines by several orders of magnitude.
Should the whistle-blower(s) end up taking dirt naps, which house republican can we expect to test theories of Trump’s culpability by shooting watermelons, stomping grapes or mashing blackberries?
Jim Jordan? Nah. He didn’t notice when the team physician was “Greco” wrestling his OSU team members? Mark Meadows? Nope. Because he is a friend of Elijah Cummings. (Yeah. Ri-i-i-ght.)
Who will prove that Hilary Clinton(!!), er, Trump, Henry II-style ( Henry Plantagenet) , got the whistle-blowers killed?
See what I did there? Channeling RWNJ febrile fantasies. Of course Hilary killed. She murdered Vince Foster, the children in the basement of Comet Ping Pong Pizza (which doesn’t have a basement), colluded with Putin and the Ukrainians to help Donald Trump win the presidential election–and cause her own defeat–and murdered the whistle-blowers whose allegations could help Trump get impeached.
“Perfect” Trumpian-RWNJ sense.
I don’t think I have the words to describe how tickled I was when I heard the news that:

I imagine there were goppers in there too, right, so it needs to be pointed out that his own party would be a part of his conspiracy, and that his inclusion would somehow add something to the proceedings? They have committees to limit the crowd size, if you’re not a part of the committee you don’t have the standing to attend if the guy in charge, Adam Schiff, tells you to eff off you stupid little thug.

My granddad always said that there’s so much horse shit in the world because it’s an oddity of nature that there are more horses’ asses than there are horses.
Brilliant! I am going to steal that and use it every chance I get.

Interesting photo … our dog had one of these when his testicles were removed. The cone annoyed him but it kept him from licking the incision site… why would Gaetz need such a thing? … his procedure seems to have been done long long ago …

I’ll admit to being stumped by this. Is this supposed to read like a ransom note or do the caps spell out some inside joke I’m not getting?
Look, someone has to represent the dummies, clowns, whackos and doofi. It’s unreasonable to expect Trump to do that all on his own. Cut the man some slack.
It’s an inside joke.
Either he’s actually a right-wing loony (possible), or he’s playing at one by doing the classic mix of Caps and lowercase characters.

Jordan started the day going off about how outrageous it is for the Democrats to conduct these depositions behind doors. He was blathering on about how the full Congress needs to be part of these hearings. Gaetz’s stunt is just an extension of Jordan’s talking points.

GoT iT (i tHinK).
I think he’s basically a moron wrapped inside a speed freak wrapped inside a political hit man. I.e. he’s your typical GOP didn’t want to get a real job or earn his way through life honorably bottom-feeder.
Then you’re totally missing it. His posts are true high snark and often very subtle.

Between this and his Captain Kangaroo comment from a few weeks ago he’s clearly just learned the term and is just going to use it all the time. Kind of like when a kid figures out that adults will laugh if they say “fuck” But less adorable.
