Rep. Matt Gaetz, R-Fla., the leader of the rebellion that ousted Speaker Kevin McCarthy this week, has long enraged the Beltway establishment.

Gaetz has blazed an unusual path, frequently partnering with House Democrats against powerful special interest groups. He backed regulation to weaken the power of Silicon Valley technology giants and fought to restrict weapons transfers to Ukraine and Saudi Arabia.

In a message posted earlier today, Gaetz floated a sweeping ethics reform package as a key demand moving forward. He offered to partner with Rep. Ro Khanna, D-Calif., on legislation to ban congressional stock trading, institute a twelve-year term limit for lawmakers, and ban lobbyist and PAC donations, in exchange for his support to increase the threshold for removing the Speaker of the House. The motion to vacate change has been demanded by GOP officials concerned about future political volatility.

But industry insiders are pushing back.

Cesar Conda, a former aide to Dick Cheney, whose defense industry lobbying firm Navigators Global helps the Ukrainian government secure American funds, scorned Gaetz as an “arsonist” and endorsed a call for lawmakers to expel the Florida lawmaker from the Republican conference.

Americans for Tax Reform, a dark money group funded in part by Amazon, Google, and Meta, the parent company of Facebook, unveiled a radio and digital advertising campaign against Gaetz yesterday, accusing him of spending "too much time chasing TV cameras."

Dropped a few bucks for the balls.

I think he's on to something - he's fighting against the uniparty, for fuck's sake, so it doesn't matter if he gets a few lucid-thinking Dems along for the ride.

The rage is building. Those who know what to do are taking protective measures against 2024 election thuggery.

We shall indeed see, and it ain't gonna be pretty . . .

Somebody called the whole 212 of demon rats in the House "a few lucid thinkers"? LOL

Oh cry me a river, it could have gone the other way. Had the majority of the Republican Congress NOT been Majority RINOs and were voting for in favor of removing KM. Then 8 RINOs would have voted with the Democrats to keep him. I bet nobody would be crying Crocodile tears then!

Republican Rep. Matt Gaetz has alleged that former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) is still leading the Democrats from the shadows, with Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-NY) serving as “just a frontman.”

During an appearance on Newsmax, Gaetz said Pelosi “still rules with an iron fist.” ...

Gaetz said it is Pelosi’s control of House Democrats which allows them to stay in lockstep.

“By the way, she’s still the one in charge of that conference,” Gaetz continued

“I mean, Hakeem Jeffries is the frontman, but the person who’s really calling the shots among the Democrats is Nancy Pelosi.”

There is no "diversity" within the Dems. The "self identified moderates" religiously toe the Democrat line.

What about those +15 Dems who won in former Republican districts ? They all do whatever Stretch Face Nancy Pelosi wants via Hakeem Jeffries.

Stretch Face Nancy Pelosi

She's just another avatar for the Senior Executive Service. Her clout comes with Intel Agency threats aforethought. After all, the original Nancy was always a Mob Moll.

💉 On Wednesday, I covered the breaking story about a Montana NIH lab infecting bats with a SARS-like virus from Wuhan back in 2018, right before the pandemic started. I was pleased to see that Representative Matt Gaetz (R-Fl.) picked up the story yesterday, and among other salty comments on his podcast, suggested the NIH’s experiments were “potentially criminal.”

Now we’re getting somewhere. More talk like this, please. (And then, of course, action.)

Gaetz also said the new information about the lab would be help lawmakers “root out these inappropriate foreign collaborations.” Yes! Root them out!

Well, bills get introduced all the time and often go nowhere. But still, a good idea.

Matt is completely qualified for the job, especially from Trump’s point of view, since he is yet another victim of weaponized federal government and false prosecution. The short version is, in 2021 (during the pandemic), while Matt was fiercely fighting Biden’s lockdown and mandate agenda, the FBI quietly opened an investigation into “child sex trafficking” against the Congressman. Then, they un-quietly leaked their investigation to the Washington Post, which ran multiple, breathless front-page stories, all anonymously sourced, about the Gaetz investigation.

Later, once Matt’s reputation was fully soiled, the FBI quietly dropped the investigation. Whoops! Never mind! This time, there was hardly any media coverage. Here’s a Federalist story with more details about the sordid affair.

Yesterday, when President Trump announced Gaetz’s selection, the non-MAGA world went wild. Everybody knows the Senate must confirm Trump’s nominations, and Democrats and corrupt FBI agents pray that Senatorial RINOs will buck Trump and refuse to confirm Representative Gaetz as Attorney General.

That would be a stupid move is all I'll say. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2026_United_States_Senate_elections



Not good for midterms even if the RINO's don't like it. That incumbent map looks a lot different in 2026 for Senate seats if Republicans cannot play nice in the sandbox with each other. You have Congress and a lame duck POTUS that gives no shits, but does things that will benefit your constituents. Suck it up and approve Matt when the time comes.

The risk is higher you get tossed out of the senate come election time. I would just roll out the red carpet for Trump appointees even if you dislike the people he's selecting.
