It’s kinda late to say the obvious. Did someone have to explain the joke to him?

Gotta say that I’m loving this. Cindy McCain was chastised because she put country before party. Now Liz Cheney is getting smacked for having the audacity to call Trump’s coup attempt impeachable.

And who are the Republican leaders? The sorriest bastards that they can dredge from the slime at the bottom of the sewer. Cruz, Gaetz, Cotton, Graham, Johnson, Jordan - the crap of the planet.

Ten of 211 Republicans vote for impeachment.
Four out 50 will vote to acquit.
Not much of a “civil war” within the party. The real civil war is between the political parties and they’re divided pretty much 50:50.

Excerpt:

With the days of earning a quick buck by slapping his name on a random product long, long gone, the money is going to have to come from somewhere for Trump, and quickly. The Washington Post reported last week that various Trump properties lost more than $120 million in revenue in 2020, and Trump owes an estimated $340 million in loans coming due in the next few years.

DUI Gaetz needs to sober up. Oust Liz Cheney, but enable and abet the Sedition Caucus in the House and Senate, and side with MTG—shows his own pathetic priorities.

“The only power we have is to communicate,“

…with insurrectionist rioters, to provide them with actionable intelligence on the whereabouts of certain congresspeople. Oh, wait, I guess we’re supposed to move on from that?

Gaetz’s sheer strategic insanity is astonishing. Exactly how stupid is he–to think he can go against Darth Cheney and his spawn?

In terms of deference to the Dear Leader, the US Republican Party and the Workers Party of North Korea are indistinguishable…

And Gaetz is the punchline. Which suits his punchable face quite well.
