The congresswoman quipped that in attempting to avert a shutdown Republicans were “run[ning] around the House like a Roomba, until they found a door that House Democrats opened”

I can’t believe no one has enough dirt on Matt Gaetz (and MTG and the rest) to keep them in line. If nothing else, threaten to keep putting junior high schools within 500 ft of Gaetz’s house so he has to move every 3 months. You don’t whip votes with policy arguments.
They HAD dirt. Then it was exposed - and nothing came of it. Now they think they are invincible, even if people have dirt.
I suspect that to rub elbows with the upper echelons of republican leadership, you have to give up some juicy dirt they can use to control or get rid of you. I mean that's the only explanation of Madison Cawthorne. That guy was awful but once he let slip about orgies and shit he was gone quicker than you could say news cycle.
I think the problem is Matt is threatening scorched earth and they believe him. Use any dirt to keep him in line and he'll spill all the beans and bring down the whole party. Because everyone knows these trumpets don't give two shits about the republican party.
Didn't he get busted blowing his cousin or something?
That was Cawthorne
Gaetz trafficked a 17 year old hooker.
I think they’re just so shameless that no amount of dirt will stick to them
I mean, look at Beobert. A scandal that big, on video, would have resulted in an instant resignation 20 years ago. But she's so vile that everyone just shrugs and moves on, because it's not even surprising, just funny.
This is so true I didn’t even realize how fucking upside down the whole thing is until reading your comment. It didn’t even occur to me the idea of her resignation over Beetlegate because the idea of her doing so is just outside the realm of reality. It’s just “oh sorry, I let my morals lapse there for a bit, my bad!” and no one bats an eye.
This is fucking crazy! This is from the party of “gotta protect the kids”, just groping and fondling at a family event!
What the fuck.
They were literally elected saying they were going to piss off all the "politicians" and that was their only goal. And they won.
They're all like the Teflon Don. It doesn't matter how dirty you get em, it slides right off, into their supporters mouths. They swallow that filth, smile and come back for more.
The reason it seems no one is keeping them in line is because they ALL have done the same shit As these two. So leverage is even across the entire GOP which means there is no leverage to use a giant one another.
Imo, the threat of leaking dirt is coming from outside the country.
Not that their reputation can go any lower, but I would imagine it would have to be criminal.
If they don't have dirt, then maybe someone has a bus.
