The Jan 6th TRAITORS

Who's the steve jobs wanna-be next to bobbypin?
I don't know. He's not one of the holdouts. I imagine that he's just a regular, run of the mill republican that's trying to talk them into stopping the madness.

At any rate, Trump called Gaetz, who just about got his ass kicked at 2 this morning, and Kevin finally got elected as speaker on the 15th vote.

No. That guy has white hair. The other guy has brown hair.

Word around the campfire is that Gaetz was given a lot for his vote and then reneged on it, so after everybody else had flipped but him they told him that he would be stripped of everything if he didn't vote present.

Voting present gave Gaetz an out in that he can always say he never voted for McCarthy, but in doing so it lowered the margin they needed by one vote and that was that.

It went from Matt extorting them to them extorting Matt.

He should have taken the deals he was given but he got too greedy. Not surprising at all.
 
Here you go. This is when Gaetz broke the agreement to vote for McCarthy and nominated Trump instead:


That's Mike Rogers of Alabama being held back from kicking the shit out of Matt Gaetz. The guy with the white hair and glasses is Earl Blumenauer of Oregon, a good old fashioned, middle of the road republican.

It's him that has his mouth in Gaetz' ear probably telling him how badly he has overestimated his hand and exactly how badly he's going to be screwed if he doesn't come around.
