One could argue that Trump created the monster that is currently f'ing him. With the lack of action from KM and other House Repubs, is it surprising to anyone that nothing is being done?

This is an attempt at independent observation here, after looking closely at Gaetz’s exact wording and other relevant context. I do not think it’s accurate to say that Gaetz was specifically referring to a “motion to vacate,” that was seemingly introduced by “x users chiming in on his tweet.” MG’s words can and probably do mean something(s) other than this action.

Didn't a Cat 3 just hit his district this week? People displaced and homeless? And yet this little d'cked POS is still focused on this soap opera. He is sooo beltway swamp i don't think he even remembers he is from the actual swamp.

You'd think with the storm he'd put the X down - spend a couple less minutes with the hair gel - and do something real for his constituents. Could you even imagine someone like Clay Higgins, after a storm hit Lake Charles, doing anything less than 24hrs straight helping recovery?

How are these guys even the same species let alone same party?

so tell us what has he not done relative to his duties to his district SINCE YOU CLAIM TO KNOW EVERYTHING HE HAS AND HAS NOT DONE in that regard

When Trump said the above it is very obvious he was referring to the "MOTION TO VACATE" rule being added back to the chamber rules. That was a huge victory for the people. Because of the rule change, the GOP could now hold their nose and vote for "the man with the haircut that rivals Newsome."

You see, Nancy Pelosi had removed the "MOTION TO VACATE" rule during her time as Majority Leader.

I've been calling for Gaetz to do something for a while. Motion to Vacate should have been submitted a long time ago.

It’s what everyone should call members of Congress who want to push meaningless show votes that have no path to becoming legislation.

Contrary to popular belief the GOP does in fact control the house and as a result has the ability to use the powers of that entity to do work on behalf of its voters.

They can investigate Bidens global corruption schemes and send the evidence off to the DOJ, leverage their budget power to gain accountability over the FBI/DOJ for ignoring the Biden situation and election fraud situation in MI and get to the bottom of the myriad of other miscellaneous major scandals floating around the federal government currently.

But instead of doing any of that, in the proud tradition of Paul Ryan he’s doing jack shite while the Biden (Obama) administration runs roughshod over the economy via regulations and executive orders.

The bottom line is McCarthy wouldn’t be speaker had he not made promises to the conservatives as to what he would do when he had the speakership and he has reneged on most of them.

Accusing someone of grandstanding when they are just forcing McCarthy to live up to his promises is ridiculous.

The inability of the GOPe leadership to wield power effectively is almost beyond belief and is the reason why most voters on the right believe they are just pretending to advocate for any of the issues they run on to get elected.

Id say that if they didn’t want Gaetz to treat them like Democrats they should stop running the house like Democrats, but that’s unfair to the DNC because they have been extremely effective at advancing their initiatives in the last 20 years.

So essentially you want committee hearings on television, and that is about it.

Sidenote: There is a move gaining steam to attach Amendments to the coming Omnibus Bill to DEFUND DOJ attempts to manipulate the electoral process by persecuting/prosecuting the leading opposition party nominee (Trump). They should go to the mat with this, as it's now or never.


Definitely the hill that they should stand on or die trying on.

So you’re fine with him lying to get the speakership and not living up to his promises to his own party? Got it.

Do you not understand what the house judiciary could do on these scandals if they pushed or do you just not care?

No question necessary for Gaetz BFF Joel Greenberg (middle) currently serving 11 years for trafficing children. He says Gaetz did it too.

No. But I also found those blatantly ridiculous “promises” phony to begin with.

Oooooo they could write a big scary referral letter to the DOJ. BIG TIME impact that would have.

You don't think the narrative on Hunter and Joe changed after the house judiciary went to town on their investigation of their actions in Ukraine?

Not only did the media have to acknowledge it, it exposed with mountains of evidence that the DOJ and FBI knew everything and actively suppressed the investigation and release of the evidence to the media while lying to the public with regards to the contents of the laptop.

It took a "right wing conspiracy theory" and turned it into reputable stories that still persist on the MSM nightly news and have greatly impacted the odds of whether he will even run again in 2024.

If you don't push back you will always lose which is exactly what the GOP leadership has done basically since Newt Gingrich lost power in the 90's.

Its become a party of grifters run by people who don't know how to do anything but lose slowly.

Yes, someone who expects their party leadership to uphold their promises and duties as a leader are such extreme attention whores.
