Turns out grinding the government to a halt during a time of global crisis to flex power over your colleagues doesn’t go over super well with the viewers back home.
I would say it’s inspiring for assholes to see how far they can go, but really, it’s the rest of us who could use the boost.
I don’t have much to add here. I have 3 dogs. No cats. I am old. But I encourage you to watch Groundbreakers on PBS tonight. My wife was a Title IX athlete in college. She prevailed against all odds. I want to honor her here. And yeah, Matt Gaetz is a worthless bag of human flesh.
If Syndrome were to get sucked into an obliging turbo fan, I’d shed no tears.
No one should think otherwise, except for a doofus like Matt Gaetz, Marjorie Taylor Greene, Ted Cruz, or the many other members of the wildly misnamed “Freedom Caucus.” And then of course, there s the lead Doofus, Donald Trump. Somehow, all these idiots seem to have forgotten that their job as elected officials is to SERVE THE NEEDS OF THE PEOPLE and of the country, NOT THEMSELVES!.
Personally, I am so sick and tired of their bellyaching and political games, I would just as soon see them all behind bars.
It’s sad that Gaetz still has support in his district. And who are the 18% of Florida Democrats who DON’T disapprove?
Extended family?
People who weren’t paying attention to the poll options and selected an answer at random.
What is it with Republicans? They are frequently some of the weirdest looking folks. In the article photo of Gaetz, he looks like he is wearing someone else’s teeth. Johnson always looks like a composite photo of other people cherry picked for their features. MTG looks like she is devolving. Jordan looks like he should have drool running out of the corner of his mouth. Trump, well what can be said that hasn’t already.
Republicans lying about their affiliation. Remember, they lie about everything…
???
Write it in granite. You will never go wrong with the message.
When broken down by party, his approval rating is only a little less bleak. Among Democrats surveyed, almost 83 percent said they disapprove of the professional antagonist. But among Republicans, 36.3 percent disapprove of the congressman, with just 36.6 percent approving of his “work.” That’s less than the percentage of Republicans who responded to the same survey saying they approved of the decision to remove McCarthy as speaker — 42 percent. The Florida Atlantic University poll surveyed just under 1,000 Florida voters and has a margin of error of plus or minus 3.2%.
It really won’t matter, no matter who runs for GQP governor’s race. Dems will put up Charlie Crist again and Florida will remain red. Gaetz has nothing to worry about.
Someone there has to explain to me why no one other than Crist is ever put across for Governor. Is the bench that shallow?
What sport?
I’ve been told that northern FL is really southern AL and GA. Which would be why he has support in his district compared to the rest of the state.
Given that, as is noted in the article, his home district still loves him, I’m not sure why it matters what the rest of the state thinks. He’ll be re-elected without any effort. All articles like this do is shift focus onto things that don’t matter. It doesn’t matter how he polls statewide. It’s not a statewide office. Get back to me when he’s 20 points underwater in his district.
There were four candidates. Crist won.
It found that 57 percent of Florida voters are unhappy with Gaetz’s job as a congressman. That means that just 21 percent of voters surveyed approved of the congressman’s performance in Washington.
No, B does not follow A here. Need the rest of the information in that paragraph for the numbers to add up.
Still, CNN’s review of more than 100 of Johnson’s interviews, speeches and public commentary spanning his decades-long career as a lawmaker and attorney paints a picture of his governing ideals: Imprisoning doctors who perform abortions after six weeks; the Ten Commandments prominently displayed in public buildings; an elimination of anti-hate-crime laws; Bible study in public schools.
From endorsing hard labor prison sentences for abortion providers to supporting the criminalization of gay sex, his staunchly conservative rhetoric is rooted in an era of “biblical morality,” that he says was washed away with the counterculture in the 1960s.
House Speaker Johnson meets with Trump at Mar-a-Lago
“One of the primary purposes of the law in civil government is to restrain evil,” Johnson said on one radio show in 2010. “We have to acknowledge collectively that man is inherently evil and needs to be restrained.”
Damn the boy had to have gone a religious school over a public school. And we need Johnson to keep defining “evil” for us secular folk.
And the dude was born in '72 so what does he know about the '60s?
It matters because Gaetz’s is thinking about running for FL governor. We need the people not in his district to love him enough to quit Congress.
