The first thirty seconds of these remarks is so brutally honest, it made me laugh out loud. WATCH:
[Previously] … I do not know if Matt Gaetz is the worthy Ty Cobb of Republican politics or not, but I do know he is currently one of the only people that is not pretending. That elevates him in my view. Oh sure, he’ll probably acquiesce to the pressures and sell out just like the rest of them, but right now – in his best form – Matt Gaetz has dropped the pretense, and that has sent the machinery of the DC Republican system into fits of apoplexy. Good.
I’m at the point of frustration with this nonsense where professional republican apoplexy, anger and visibly ‘losing their sh*t’ makes me smile.
Once you see the strings on the marionettes, you can never return to that moment in the performance when you did not see them.
Lol! Bribes paid in gold as a hedge against inflation. OMG I’m crying here!
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
menendez should have gone boating
Gaetz is serious about ousting the House Speaker?
Sounds like it.
But only time will tell.
I hope he is serious
I hope he has backup.
McCarthy is a disaster as we knew he would be.
Sword of Damocles .
If only.

Here ya go: 😜

😝 Noice!
Actually he sounded convinced that the dems would ride to the speaker’s rescue even after criticizing the speaker.
Dems always follow the course of action most likely to cause damage to the Republic.
I read somewhere (sorry can’t remember where) that the Dems said they would vote to keep him, but there “would be a price.”
The primary element of the “price” is to drop the impeachment inquiry of crooked, lying, joseph the inept.
Yes! I remember that and found the article on Gateway Pundit. Posted the link above.
https://trendingpoliticsnews.com/high-ranking-democrat-reveals-scheme-to-end-impeachment-by-cutting-deal-with-mccarthy-mstef/
Can’t imagine what that price might be…
Aren’t you convinced? He’s done it before and will certainly do it again. He’s a good little boy…
It sounds like The Speaker hasn’t lived up to his end of the bargain made with the Freedom caucus to get McCarthy elected Speaker. Oh well … a deal is a deal … and broken deals have consequences.
He has a chance of being Trump’s successor. Question is, will he take the MAGA route or sell out and shiv us in the ribs?
Matt Gaetz is a Lawyer….So, I’m 100% skeptical…..Almost 50% of Congress are Lawyers…….Virtually all of the corruption at the FBI/DOJ/CIA that has be exposed was/is being willfully committed by Lawyers…. The Law(corrupt) profession has virtually destroyed our Republic…….
“.Virtually all of the corruption at the FBI/DOJ/CIA that has be(en) exposed was/is being willfully committed by Lawyers…. The Law(corrupt) profession has virtually destroyed our Republic…….”
IF the country survives what it is currently going through, that should be engraved on a large block of granite and placed amongst the existing memorials in DC for future generations to see.
Kind of like the Justice is Blind one?
Better, William Shakespeare’s “· The first thing we do, let’s kill all the lawyers.”
(Perhaps he was only half joking)
Not exactly a new revelation. In biblical times they were called “scribes”
Not even a drop in the bucket.
And often worked part time as money changers in front of the temples.
William Shakespeare’s Henry VI, Part 2, Act IV, Scene 2.” Lawyers have been at it a long time.
I get what you’re saying but would you rather he have a degree in “Women’s Studies”?
Aye I have studied women all my life and will continue to do so.
Yes, a Phd with post graduate research experience.
Yeh, I’m holding my breath.
I understand your skepticism, and we all should be. But there is one factor that separates Gaetz, just like Trump. He has the battle scars, still fresh mind you, of the DOJ/FBI/UniParty Drep State that accused him of sex trafficking while his family was being extorted for millions of dollars. That is not a trivial matter that one shakes hands with and let bygones be bygones. No, you have created the worst of enemies, that considers your destruction as a death match.
His father and grandfather were politicians, Matt was only a lawyer for a brief time before running for office. It amazes me how many politicians and media are lawyers but never held a real job.
How many law degrees were paid for under the table? I mean it is kinda like passing kids through grade school, the kids just get pushed on through to the next grade. These people go to law school and then get pushed on into politics and media.
Even better said it dead pan !
Indeed.
Shrill softens even the strongest steel.
Congress will soon be responsible for a run on wheelbarrows.
Single subject spending bills. What a concept!
Yeah, and they should be TITLED what they are actually covering!!!!
What, you got a problem with labeling a trillion dollar boondoggle The Inflation Reduction Act?
Yep, Maquis, just like I have a problem with calling a boy a girl and a dog a cat. If it looks like a fish, and smells like a fish… it’s probably a Hillary… errr ummm a fish!
You’re clearly just Sightist.
You have an unfair advantage over the blind.
The shame of it all.
And only contain funding that pertains to that specific title. No rider with junk funding.
The only pork I want to see is the bacon on my plate in the morning. Capeesh???
These people irritate me so bad, I want to run for office, just to piss ’em off. I can’t possibly be any worse than the gooch in shorts and a hoodie from Pennsylvania.
That’s what McCarthy promised.
McCarthy lied.
Yes, and a tough negotiator would threaten the “utopian, statists” that if they don’t agree to the agency by agency spending appropriations (as it was done for over 200 years!) that the non-essential government employees won’t get all their back pay. It will be a non-payed vacation.
Just shut it down.
No, seriously let them engineer their shut down, and then leave it that way.
He displays his ignorance about the National Debt by not mentioning that the Budget Deficit is only 2/3 of the annual debt added. There is also the Off-Budget Deficit. Some years that addition is even bigger than the Budget addition.
It’s also possible he knows that too many Econ terms shove the average constituent into the TL;DR category of his remarks. There’s a time for that stuff, but this may not have been it.
Though that may be correct, while doing this Gaetz is having to try to educate the public of how it currently works. Folks already on board, like ourselves, seek out CTH and selected others to get beyond the basics. But most Americans thought they were doing their civic duty and informed by voting once every 4 years. Most folks couldn’t even begin to know the mechanics of parliamentary rules and how ideas become legislation. And that is why we are in crisis. The people valued their time to be not involved, and passed it on ‘to those whose job it is ‘.
WE have ‘delegated’ so MANY of our basic responsibilities to others, and then are frustrated with “the others” performance, but keep expressing our frustration, demanding (without any satisfaction) that these “others” do better, OR going from ONE of these ‘others’ to another, hoping to find a “good” one,..instead of doing the seemingly more difficult thing, of takingthe responsibility, OURSELVES.
OUR Medical ‘care’, teaching our children, heck even routine maintenance on our cars and homes, or cooking our own food, we ‘contract’ it out, to others.
And yes, “politics” we contracted out to “the Parties” and assumed they were looking out for our interests,..and that news organisations were keeping us informed…
And we pay an exhorbitant cost, for the illusions of expedience, convenience, security and prosperity, ..and the ersatz illusions fall far short of the real thing.
Hillary’s “it takes a village” has come to ripe fruition~Spoken by someone who has everyone else do her dirty work~ So those village folks took over the children! And so much more~
Thank you dutchman! >”)
“The first thirty seconds of these remarks is so brutally honest”.
Too bad that will not make it onto the prime time MSM (imo aka Main Sewer Media) broadcasts, even if it was denounced as being divisive, etc.
Main sewer media. I love that!
This is prime time for far more people than the 4th estate is willing to admit. Exhibit A the MSM polls.
“the tale of the tape”;
In 2022, MSM snd Big Tech each “lost” 1 Billion $, and they will each lose MORE when the final tally for 2023 is in.
And, “viewership” #’s track with revenue.
People ARE “cutting the cord” in significant #’s, and as their #’s plummet, “MAGA MEDIA” of the Rebel Alliance #’s show exactly where the $ and viewership is going.
I just gave Matt $100 for what he is doing. Somebody needs to speak truth.
Sorry, but that picture makes you gag and turn away, not look closer.
I think you borrowed that from Betsy jones and modified?
She already gave me exclusive rights to re post.
Excellent re-use, Mass Psychosis!
If a meme isn’t borrowed/stolen a lefty made it.
Disgusted girl and cat … just gets me every time … 😂
formerly suspicious but now thoroughly disgusted.
✔
Your tactics and satire are invaluable. Thanks for the laughs.
One of those David Kock is dead so you need to replace him with his unassuming widow in that picture. She has underwear like Babs in Animal House.
Muy poco pendejos at that.
Eye bleach!
He’s saying what needs to be said. We are facing becoming North Argentina.
Whoa, the truth hits home….! You go, Matt!
Disruption, even if it only shakes the status quo for on day. The country is in free fall, an implosion that is like when they take a large office building down, it is planned. When you are on the titanic don’t worry about rocking the boat.
“The country is in free fall, an implosion that is like when they take a large office building down, it is planned.”
Controlled demolition certainly seems like a common thread in what’s happening to the US. Figuratively, and literally in the case of the event that pivoted us to a surveillance state leading to a police state:
https://www.ae911truth.org/
OK, we see the common theme, but why?
Look toward the likely end state: US Bloc collapsed to a totalitarian vassal under the rising hegemon led by the world’s new industrial power in the East. There’s the “why”.
The only way for the US federal budget runaway train to be stopped now is a complete train wreck. It has to happen, sooner or later, the corruptocrats will not rein it in, they are actually accelerating the overspending. Either that, or full-scale war, which will provide a pretext to default and slam totalitarianism down hard – and look, how convenient, Ukraine may provide a way to make that happen?
Most independant thinkers probably think Ukraine is mainly about enriching the US Military-Industrial Complex, etc. That’s only one purpose. The schemers behind the curtain always devise multiple goals with every scheme.
But we all pretend everything’s OK, going about our business. Halloween is coming up, won’t that be fun? Cognitive dissonance. Stay in the pot, frogs, never mind the warming water.
Actually, if you put a frog, or a bunch of frogs in a pot of tepid water, and turn the heat on real low, you know what REALLY happens?
As the water temp rises above comfort level, THE FROGS JUMP OUT.
Therefore, the ONLY way you can boil frogs, is by putting the lid on, and holding it down, HARD until they stop jumping (cause they are dead!).
And picking one or two of the frogs, to “make an example of” (so the others will be intimidated into not trying to jump out) DOESN’T WORK.
So, rather than the oft quoted myth of frog boiling, the reality is a far more accurate analogy for our current situation…
Hence TPTB have no option but to clamp down the lid, with FORCE at some point.
Their current intimidation tactics,…ain’t working (never WERE going to work).
…An Implosion like that submersible that was going down to look at the Titanic. We are already so far under water.
Yes, it doesn’t happen, and continues to not happen,….right up to the moment when it suddenly DOES.
Gaetz is doing what DeSantis should have done. If Gaetz keeps this up, he is positioning himself for 2028 after Trump successfully resurrects our country.
Meatball Ron is not clever enough to pull off this kind of sarasm.
And He would’ve delivered it in a whiny voice with his head bobbling. ugh.
his handlers wouldn’t allow him to do anything that wasn’t approved by the neocons.
🎉
Those golden nuggets

Theatre of Delay.
All of it.
All the seats behind him are empty. It’s like screaming into the wind. So pissed. If you are a public representative, you should be FORCED to be on site for every damn meeting. This is what we pay them for. Oh, wait… What I should say is if you’re going to steal from us, you might as well have to show up to warm the seat!!!!!!! #$%%^#^@^@^
Excellent! Did sound like a Seinfeld delivery!!!
Should have just wired it to Bidens bank account.
Egypt definitely had a better offer than what he got from Dominican Republic last go round.
One of the graft deals was some NJ vendor contract to supply halal meat to Egypt, the vendor had no halal experience.
The twisted mind in me wonders how much swine was shipped?
I think this is where his strikingly lovely wife–think Nellie Ohr–had the no show job.
To be honest, those FBI photos actually gave me cause to doubt whether Menendez might be getting set-up. Those staged pictures with the cash artfully arranged on his monogrammed jackets reminded me of the staged FBI photos of the classified coversheets arranged on the floor of Mar-a-Lago next to the Time magazine covers. The FBI proves itself to be far more interested in hyping up scandals than in impartial justice.
(Btw cover-sheets are not classified documents. They are merely wrappers used for covering up a classified doc. They are nothing but routinely stocked office supplies, kept on hand by any office that sometimes handles classified documents.)
Yeah I think it is a Threat to Joe. I have no doubt Mendez is was and will always be a crook. It is just rude that they busted him. It is also designed to look like a set up again to threaten Joe. They want him to resign now take a deal with Kamala covering his back while Mr California takes the stage.
The tell is the jackets …So I hide my money in my jackets that my maid may decide to send to the dry cleaners? I have a car that parked in my garage that i cant show tittle to? Lets add some gold bars for a little sparkle so it will stay in the news cycle Like top secret folders strewn on the floor it is all psy-ops
It definetly has more than just that FBI set-up “smell” to it.
In fact, I would say it has ‘all the hallmarks of FBI Disinformation/frame job.’
and I’m not even an “Intelligence Official”, lol.
Think about this: The FBI investigated Menendez about this… in June of last year.
😂👍. Now turn down the lights as if in The House Comedy Club. Because most of what’s said and done there is either really funny … or insanely idiotic.
That is beautiful!
Make Lamp Post Ornaments Great Again 👍
and/or dead coyote carcasses hanging on the wire fence.
Heads on pikes, as a deterence to traitors.
Governor Gaetz laying it down!
Gaetz has been telling it like it is.
Not sure about Gaetz but, if he can accomplish some good in a patch of evil then he has my vote of confidence for the time being anyway. Seems in this society, we as subjects to the whim of those making, using, abusing, all laws so every tidbit of honesty is welcome. Tomorrow, maybe.
Agree.
It always seems to boil down to “Doverai no Proverai”.
My favorite phrase used by President Reagan. Spelling errors are all mine.
Gold bars due to inflation.
Did anyone do that in the Weimar Republic days?
Break out the wheelbarrows.
when they say “you want to burn it down” I say ” yes, but only if we can’t nuke it first”
Ouchie ouchie!
But the truth will out, and in this case the man brings it in 24 karat.
The way he speaks and moves reminds me of a young Billy Graham.
The critters I know around Warshington (how the old timers sound saying it) are plum scar’d of an impending shutdown. They are gnashing their teeth about Gaetz and these crazy right wingers.
I think Hakeem, as Sundance has pointed out, who really runs the House, will bail out McCarthy. Then Gaetz will be called and it’s a bluff, or he goes all in and motions to vacate. I appreciate the moves he has made so far, but I think he has ran this play out.
Meanwhile the rest of the country is not scared of a government shutdown. We are all scared it might open back up again.
Nice to see one of these men out of the Silos for a change. No excuse at this point to continue the charade. I want those losers to know, we know, they are liars and thieves. They need a higher wall.
unfortunately, do you see a consortum of support standing beside him?
THAT is the problem
it is not enough for one person to stand and shout to the rooftops
It takes one man to stand before anyone else can join. If you plan on waiting for a crowd before you speak your piece, you might be silent forever.
The voice of one crying in the wilderness
so defeatist
I don’t agree with this. It only takes one person to start a revolution. I look at Gandhi and MLK Jr; they were individuals who started a movement. Look at Rosa Parks; one person said I will not give up my seat. I have been told the same thing because I acted singularly here to support Trump….one person….I was jeered, insulted, verbally abused… no one came to stand with me and they were there in the background of the jeering crown…one person…the others were afraid. I stood my ground…for better or worse….so, it might not be obvious, but I was there for the good…..it does mean something.
Brilliant!
Out loud laughter!!
His statement has to be the greatest line in decades, if not ever. He sure knows how to poke the bear.
That’s a GREAT idea! I’m gonna DEMAND the government pay my tax refund in the gold teeth of slain Russian combatants. Hey! Germany’s Natzi’s did it … so I’m sure the Ukrainian Natzi’s can do it too. After all my government’s narrative is that Russians are as evil as the Jews in Weimar Germany. That’s what my governments Reddit feed has been saying for two years.
In the old USSR fillings and caps for teeth were steel or iron, only a very few had gold crowns or caps. Modern Russian soldiers have more modern dentistry and besides its the Ukrainians who have the huge body counts.
Here is the bottom line for me – if you vote to fund this government, you are voting for the destruction of our Republic.
Shut the government down until the next election.
Hear, hear!
How does a man, so totally disqualified to be president, get elected. I submit that Sudance’s article helps to answer this question.
But how do we explain the actions of the Supreme Court during this time frame, or even now?
“The Keys to My Family’s Only Asset” – House Ways and Means Committee Releases Explosive Documents Confirming Hunter Sold Access to Joe Biden in 23 Countries
Gaetz is on a tear. Better sleep with one eye open.
“Bidenflation”??
Sundance I miss the ability that existed in CTH 1.0 to upvote your articles. This excellent video clip is available on multiple sites, but none have the pointed and so damn-well-articulated commentary attached to them as on CTH.
My upvote for this article: 👍
Please call to Congressman Gaetz and thank him and encourage him to keep fighting for us. His number is: (202) 225-4136. Its late, but you can leave a message. We just did. Be sure to tell him which state you are from. We are sure he would like to know that ALL Americans across the country are with him.
Keep in mind the few good folks in D.C. don’t hear positive feedback very often. Maybe we should reward good behavior so we can get more if it instead of always thinking this is minimal acceptable performance and not saying anything. We are sure he would appreciate it. If you’ve ever been a leader you know that leadership is a very lonely place. A friendly voice of thanks and encouragement is like a shot of adrenaline to Leaders fighting the good fight. Please light up his phone.
Thanks for your consideration of our request.
I just called and left a brief message. I did tell him my state. represented by mostly RINOs.
Seems to me, Congress should be the first MFers not to be getting a check when they are the ones who can’t get their minds right. Maybe Rep. Gaetz will be the one who gets us out of the meth psychosis fever dream of Continued Resolutions. For nearly half my life, Congress couldn’t balance the checkbook.
Not buying the Gaetz act. The magnificent six voted “present” to give the speakership to McCarthy. A present vote is the same thing as a surrender vote. As far as the rules package, McCarthy uses that for toilet paper. Gaetz somehow thought he could control McCarthy. I don’t know if Gaetz thought he could control McCarthy or played games with the voters. It is quite evident that not even the good guys know what they are doing to stop the coming apocalypse. My hope is in Jesus and I believe God annointed only one man for such a time as this, and his name is Donald John Trump.
Not defending Gaetz or any other “sellout,” but always consider that not all “sellouts” are not necessarily corrupt, voluntarily or with intent.
A lot, if not most, are more likely “compromised” through blackmail or threats/intimidation.
Just sayin’.
Yes! And then further into his speech he says that the fraud inherent in multi-thousand page spending bills is “not a bug in the system it is a feature of the system.” Spot on!
How can any honest person can prefer a CR, to agency by agency yearly budget appropriations, citizen or congressman? It just defies logic. Only grifters would prefer another continuing resolution.
The date of the new fiscal year, October 1, XXXX, was no secret, why weren’t agency by agency budget proposals ready months ago? What are these SOBs doing?
The answer is simple. The speaker has always been aiming for the status quo so that he can continue the grift.
If Gaetz caves, that may be it for me. Let the “utopian, statists” come to McCarthy’s rescue. That may finally prove to the remaining nitwits whose side he is on and that, yes, the UniParty does exist.
When Gaetz talked about the maturity of the state legislators, I hope he wasn’t including California. We have a “balanced budget amendment” and these bastards break the law every year with their new math accounting.
And, his own State of Florida, surely he wasn’t referring to the Florida legislature?
Maybe he meant the TEXAS Legislature? lot of serious, adult business going on there (sarc!).
He meant, of coarse the way they address their Budgets, but they HAVE to balance their budgets,…AND they can’t just spend $ they don’t have, the way Congress can.
And diamonds to Hunter! Single subject spending bills is a no brainer, as with showing ID to vote, staying out of foreign entanglements. But hey, we should just pass everything so we can see what’s in it right. That gold but was hilarious!
desertson,
“… would ignore 10M migrants…” there, fixed it for ya. And really, there’s word it’s upwards of 20 mil.
Prolly double that.
Awesome… “The Menendez Comment Of The Year”.
This GOP charade in the House on top of what that NY prosecutor is doing to Trump makes all of us with any sense want to grab our bug out bags and head for the hills. Where do we sign up to be warriors in this last stand effort? Have we seen the last great days of the United States? Is there anyone standing with us, truly with us, except Trump and Gaetz?
Already IN “the hills” saw it coming and been here for 20+ years,…but yes their are MANY besides PDJT, M.Gaetz standing BETWEEN them and us, and taking the fire meant for us.
A small sampling of the names of others standing, can be obtained by reading, rather than scrolling past Stillwaters prayer on the Presidential thread.
Nearly every name in there, is standing up, thats why we pray for them.
And, even that list, is just a small representative sampling of those who are standing, speaking truth, and taking the fight to the enemy.
WE are not alone, in fact WE are MANY, WE are the MAJORITY, WE are PISSED, and WE WILL PREVAIL.
I have seen Gaetz all over the news lately, since his verbal slugfest with Maria, several days ago.
Is he campaigning to be PDJT’s VP?
He is talking a lot, and saying a lot, beyond great one-line Zingers…
And yes, he’s focusing a lot of attention on PROCESS, and exposing the Truth; leadership CONTROLS the process; as Nancy so able demonstrated, THEY make the rules, and they can change them (or NOT change them) whenever they want.
For example, THEY make the rule that each legislature asking a witness questions, has a time limit, preventing them from being able to “pin down” a witness.
And yes, both CR’s and Omnibus, and “Reconciliation” of bills (between House and Senate versions) are abusive proceedures they have intentionally set up, to avoid accountability or transparency.
Don’t know Gaetz’s motives or end goal, but as long as he is throwing molotovs, I’ll stand back and watch.
The line works better, if you leave out “Democrat”.
“We are trashing the value of our currency so bad, you need to bribe Congressman with gold bars.” …leave out the “Democrat” as there are undoubtedly plenty of Republicons with gold bars,..as well.
Looking back, my proudest moment in 2018, the last year I lived in Matt’s disctrict, I was able to vote for him, and also vote against Gillum !!!
