Wow, an already dumb thread that turned quite ugly.  Casually tossing around the "groomer" and "pedo" label needs to be a bannable offense, the already cesspool-like GD is even worse for that stupid trend.

To me it boils down to whether or not Matt did what the people he represents wanted him to do. I mean, it is literally his job to represent and fight for the people of his district. If he did do what he was elected to do, job well done. If not, then the next election cycle is where his constituents make their displeasure known.

Conservative Patriots have very few allies in this nation.
We should be supporting our brothers and sisters behind enemy lines, not insulting them or encouraging them to run away.

We consistently slam Democrats here, but I can't imagine people on DU slam like-minded individuals there simply because they live in a red state. It's fairly pathetic that we need to look to their example for how to stick together in a fight.

Are you a pedo? You're taking this awfully personally when you could also take it as me insinuating that you'd marry a dude who flashes his dick at you.

As Gaetz called her, she was a 17 year old "woman."

1.  No I am not a pedo.
2. YOU LIE, Gaetz was cleared of what you accuse him of.
3. you are a line stepping trouble maker who is intentionally trying to elicit a negative response, which is a CoC issue.

Add me as a person who was immediately told he was a putin puffer upon stating I did not agree with ukraine spending.  

Add me as a person may have said ukebro once or twice, ever, and generally in response for some vitriol from somebody who cant discuss things like an adult.

Gaetz was emphatically NOT cleared of these accusations. The DOJ declined to prosecute him on FEDERAL charges of TRAFFICKING minors, violation of the Mann Act, and obstruction. Just hiring yourself an 17-year-old prostitute is NOT a FEDERAL case. Unless there's a nexus DOJ can't charge it, and it would have to be pretty airtight for a federal prosecution of a sitting member of Congress over a single instance of what was likely an unintentional act with someone who was almost of age.

The public Venmo transactions from 2018 are pretty damning. It's certainly a lot more evidence than we see behind daily accusations against public figures in GD. The extortion attempt didn't happen until three years later. Unless there's a state investigation the only ongoing investigation is the House Ethics Committee inquiry which picked back up in June after DOJ declined to prosecute. McCarthy has said his unwillingness to stop the inquiry is what's motivating Gaetz. 96% of the Republican members of the House would seem to agree.

People can go read the reporting themselves. Gaetz comes off as Barbie Hunter Biden. We'll see what the ethics committee has to say.

Omnibus bills are treason.

$33 Trillion in debt is treason.

Not passing single spending budget bills is treason.

$2 Trillion dollars in deficit spending alone this year is treason.

This cannot stand, the Congress has been out of compliance with budget laws for over a generation now.  That's not good.  The primary duty the Congress has to the American people is their fiduciary duty.

LOL. Bubba, you're on a forum where several pillars of shared reality are wildly improbable conspiracy theories that would implicate thousands of people in horrific felony crimes committed in full view of the whole world and not a one has been proven in a court of law.

Maybe Matt Gaetz did nothing wrong. He sure looked like a man with nothing to hide when Tucker talked to him about it. Again, go check it out and decide for yourself.

If the Biden DOJ said "we'll pass" on prosecuting a right-wing loudmouth like Gaetz, I'm pretty confident he did nothing worth worrying about on the whole pedo issue. There's no democrat prosecutor on the planet who wouldn't take that scalp if they thought they could.

God Bless Matt Gaetz for actually doing what 90% of the Republicans ran on to get elected.  Fight the establishment, disrupt the status quo and return the congress to regular order.  

It's only the first step, but hopefully it will wake up the establishment that they are not insulated from the repercussions of not keeping their promises.

Buy giving in to the Dems over and over, we are only slowing the inevitable complete takeover.  I say let's fucking get it done.  Then we'll see how the people really like it.

RINOs aren’t conservatives. I’m to the point now that slim majorities are simply Band-Aids on a severed limb. We do need some bold actions and we need more radical, bold (actual) constitutional conservatives who aren’t prostitutes to lobbyists and bedfellows with Marxist democrats.

Gaetz is doing exactly what 99.87% of GD always bitches about, that nobody does anything, and when somebody takes bold action they fucking capitulate, waffle, and get scared about “losing”. Here’s a hint: we haven’t been winning shit in a long time. I think most Americans with two braincells are starting to understand the Uniparty and the how much they’re getting fucked regardless of Marxist democrats or RINOs in leadership. It’s time to dump a little tea into the RINO cesspool, give the finger to the establishment, and get enough radicals in congress to start bitch-slapping the American-hating democrats. Decorum needs to die.

Statesmanship is a losing strategy. Compromising at the expense of the American taxpayer needs to come to an end. Negotiating with the enemy (democrats) should be verboten. Tolerating RINOs should be punished, it’s time for actual conservative radicals to go RINO hunting and start putting heads on stakes. I want fighters not compromisers…politics needs to get as ugly as our economy, border, crime stats, inflation, and corrupt bureaucracies.

Really? Because Republicans currently control SCOTUS, Ds have never been more unpopular, Rs are on the winning side of a host of issues (family, trans, woke), Rs have never been more trusted to handle the economy since '91 and are in the catbird seat going into 2024.

But now's time for "bold moves" where the outcome is completely unknown?

You might want to consider what percentage of the population is "conservative" before you start taking "bold action."

See the 2018, 2020, and 2022 election results for examples.

It’s a win for me and the people against an over empowered and collaborating corrupt federal government. It’s a win for you too, you just don’t see it because one of your favorite people was the first to get their hand slapped.
