It's been very informative to watch how the MSM machine is spinning this. Even FOX is toeing the party line here with the standard MAGA bad shtick.

It's very useful to know who falls where on this issue. Those who are onboard with the uniparty have to come out and say so now. The line has been drawn and the people will, hopefully, remember.

They can't hide it. That is what makes this so delightful. The US Congress was already supposed to be a rubber stamp like the Chinese Peoples Congress. Sure it has power on paper, but it knows better then to actually defy what the unelected powers that be decree. But now that it IS defying the powers that be, accident or not, shits about to get real.

We are in the bargaining phase atm. The next phase is Anger. I expect what few media outlets that are in support of what just happened are going to get sand bagged, and Gaetz is going to be depicted as the second coming Mussolini. Since the Hitler trope has been played out so much
 
George was just a freak of nature. I'm convinced that for some reason God wanted George Washington to be who he was when he was where he was, because there's no reason any man should be that lucky that consistently.

He was even targeted at one point by a British sniper during the war and they decided not to shoot because George's back was turned and he felt shooting a man in the back wasn't civilized. If God wasn't looking out for Washington then He never looked out for anyone.

Oh yeah, antebellum politics in the USA were crazy. Said Representative also unironically had all his buddies stand up and clap when he told them the story of how he broke his cane over that damned Yankee, and they all started carrying around pieces of said cane around their necks like it was a piece of the True Cross. The best part is Brooks was so intent on beating Sumner half to death he even hit himself in the head with his own cane hard enough to split his skin open.

His punishment in the end? The equivalent of a $10k fine.

Another tidbit to this story is that afterward a lot of his constituents sent over 50 canes I think to his office as a replacement for the one he broke beating the shit out of that guy, so he had quite a lot of popular support at home. This all being prior to the Civil War.

Mitch kicking the bucket (without yet being dead) does not mean Trump owns the RNC, it just means the individual GOPe rats no longer have some guy giving directions from up on high. They’re not going to suddenly start loving Trump.

McConnell is the outward face but Trump would still have a ways to go before he could truly purge RINOs especially on the federal level. Something else that may be important is that Kentucky has a Democrat governor so if Mitch did kick the bucket, presumably the Governor could appoint a Democrat in his place until the next election for the seat which would be in 2026.

To be fair... if 2024 turned out well, losing him temporarily would be little loss, but it would depend on timing. Schumer has to be out of power before he kicks it. Or else the fillabuster is fucked
Was this before or after getting routinely beaten?
Every defeat made him stronger. Enough to send you redcoats packing lol.
 
Cue the Con Inc. crowd who says this is a victory for the Democrats.

You can tell this has made the GOPe go into an NPC loop because all the faggots like Ben Shapiro and National Review are saying this is Trump's fault for not "leading" because all these "rogue" republicans would have listened to him. All while they try and say MAGA isn't part of the party.

And here's Eyepatch McCain popping up to do his usual republican bashing.

Mark "The Mad Jew" Levin was seething (as usual) over this while shelling out his new book.

Holy fuck when I said make that nigga Byron from Florida Speaker I was just shitposting guys. He'd be a good choice for real though
Would Byron Donalds be the first black Speaker (not that journoscum will constantly bring it up)?
 
Speaking of shit, the white folk who used to run the Gawker political website The Splinter (which got shut down while the black nazis at "The Root" kept their jobs and ended up forming a Substack page "the Discourse Blog" where they beg people to subscribe to them while being quite stingy with free previews compared to other Substack news newsletters) just churned out this hit piece of Mike Gatz for daring to be awesome and ousting the cuck McCarthy (which they sent out as a free article since apparently they are THAT fucking pissed off right now).

The Gaetz of Hell

What is Matt Gaetz's freakin' deal??? ALSO: Did a congressman say 'betting on the cum'?​


Just now, the House of Representatives voted to remove Kevin McCarthy as its speaker—the first time it has ever removed any speaker of the House in its history. The vote was 216-210.

McCarthy, a dumb and bad person, now becomes the shortest-serving speaker in almost 150 years. Bye!

What happens next? No one knows! What’s sure is that there’s no real reason to care about McCarthy or what his future holds. Fuck him. The man is like a rectal polyp with hair.

More interesting is Matt Gaetz, the subject of this blog. Gaetz is “a fascist and a total scumbag,” as Paul put it in our Slack. He’s also the center of gravity of the GOP House caucus, which is bad news all around. Although Gaetz thinks pretty highly of himself, within the hallowed halls of Congress he might be the only one. As New York GOP Rep. Anthony Despo told reporters on Tuesday: “The consensus is that Matt Gaetz is an asshole.”

Boy is he.

Whether it’s pushing the government to the brink of shutdown, pushing McCarthy toward unemployment, or pushing underaged teenagers into bed with him (allegedly, and he wasn’t charged!!!) the one defining through-line for Gaetz is that he is an unrepentant, wholly without shame asshole. A slimy piece of shit who exists for no other reason than to attach himself, lamprey-style, to bigger, slimier pieces of shit, so he can bask in the faint radiance of whatever genuine power and influence they might actually possess.

Seriously, strip away his mealy-mouthed lip service towards deficit reduction or fiscal responsibility or whatever generic Republican talking point he’s dry-humping this week, and ask yourself: what does Matt Gaetz actually stand for? I mean, what does he deep down in his heart of heart (or whichever organ of his is the closest approximation) really believe in?

Got nothin’, huh? Of course you don’t. Because there’s nothing there to begin with. No belief system, no sense of higher purpose. Just an enormous ego stored in Gaetz’s enormous forehead.

Consider his latest gambit to depose Kevin McCarthy—why is this happening? A good chunk of Republicans (including McCarthy himself) would tell you it’s payback for the House daring to investigate extremely credible allegations that Gaetz is a total sleaze. That’s it! That’s all there is to it. It’s nothing more complicated than Matt Gaetz throwing a real diaper-filler of a tantrum because the nerds in the school cafeteria narced him out to the hall monitor for being a dickhead.

Also, look at this face. Look long and deep. Really take it all in.

Somehow this face is both too symmetrical and too lopsided at the exact same time…?? He looks like Beavis, from Beavis & Butthead, had procreative sex with Butthead, from Beavis & Butthead. I’m begging someone to ship this horrible punim back to the uncanny valley it crawled out of, and then dynamite the entire valley so it can never escape again. My god.

Where does Gaetz go from here? Who knows. All his coworkers hate him, and while he’s widely believed to be setting up a 2026 Florida gubernatorial run, Gaetz has emphatically denied he’s got any plans to fill Ron DeSantis’ lifted boots. What does that leave, then? A lucrative career in cable news? Maybe, but the thing about smarmy assholes is that while they might be barely tolerable in three-minute sound-byte chunks, the only thing a network would get from giving Gaetz an entire TV show is a bunch of advertisers selling anti-nausea pills to an audience prone to barfing every time that face comes on screen.

There’s no real takeaway here. No big lesson to learn. Gaetz is, and will forever be a huge asshole, and — depressingly — will probably never really suffer any material consequences for it. As he himself bragged during Tuesday’s vote on McCarthy’s ouster: “Ohhh, boo all you want.”


A true asshole doesn’t care about being an asshole, and almost always gets away with it, too. It’s a shame, but that’s how things work these days. Still, what’s the point of owning a blog like this if we can’t take a moment to sit back, look at the world around us, and say with confidence and conviction: “Now that guy there? He’s a real asshole.”


Speaking of saying things with confidence and conviction, here’s Arizona Republican Andy Biggs cautioning his colleagues not to “bet on cum” during the debate over McCarthy’s future. I’m told this is a gambling term, but I choose not to care. God bless America.







 
That Matt Gaetz article and Pelosi's response to getting thrown out on her ass might be some of the hardest cope I have seen since that tranny showed his tits on the white house lawn. It's shaping up to be quite the winter. Time to invest in popcorn and milk futures.
 
The one time an expert brit sniper had him dead to rights, he couldn't take the shot. He felt it would have been too dishonorable to do so.
That one Brit sniper choosing not to shoot Washington set the stage for the US to come to Britain's aid in both world wars. Crazy how the world works.
I get that removing SPEAKER is important, the problem is no one wanted McCarthy in the first place, he was meant to be a seat filler, and when he started making decisions instead of being a stamp, his own party decided it was out behind the barn time.
He thought a sinecure was a mandate.
This is why you don't trust Californian politicians with power of any kind. They always backstab when they think they can get away with it.
Never take in a traitor from your enemies. Generally a bad idea. A snake is a snake
His career is over I suspect.

Gaetz is doing exactly what AOC and the squad promised to do, but where they immediately cucked to Pelosi, Gaetz is sticking to his guns. Corporate pundits are fucking shocked right now because things like this were always meant to be for show and never actually carried out.
Behind the decrepit old boomers in the GOP is a line of young Republicans with an eye for actually getting shit done. The Democrat party is better structured to muzzle undesirable party members like the Squad and Bernie. The Republican party is a little more chaotic because they don't have the same degree of control over the party. It's why nobody but the people can want Trump as the Republican nominee and Trump wins, versus nobody but the people wanting Bernie as president and he gets fucked over.
We are in the bargaining phase atm. The next phase is Anger. I expect what few media outlets that are in support of what just happened are going to get sand bagged, and Gaetz is going to be depicted as the second coming Mussolini. Since the Hitler trope has been played out so much
Too late. They already tried and failed to charge him as a drug abusing pedophile. He is getting revenge, and props to him because he didn't miss when he took his shot.
