As rumoured about the 'Cawthorning' of Gaetz has begun..............

 

House Republicans begin leaking scandalous new details about Matt Gaetz’s personal life

Over the weekend House Republicans leaked to the media that they were planning to expel Matt Gaetz if he ousted Kevin McCarthy as Speaker. After Gaetz went through with the ouster, House Republicans leaked to the media that they were indeed looking to expel him. Now they’re starting to lay the groundwork for it.

 

House Republican Markwayne Mullin told CNN on Wednesday that Matt Gaetz used to show off his sex tapes to other Republicans on the House floor. Mullin also claimed that Gaetz liked to brag about crushing up viagra and chasing it with energy drinks so he could go all night.

 

Gaetz is denying all of this. But it’s clear what’s happening here. House Republicans are now starting to put dirt out there about Matt Gaetz in order to steer the media and the public toward Gaetz’s scandals. This way, if and when House Republicans move to expel Gaetz, the public will already be prepped on why it’s happening.

 

Of course House Republicans have also leaked that they intend to base the expulsion on the findings of the House Ethics Committee, which is focused on allegations that Gaetz engaged in underage sex trafficking and other heinous crimes. So if they do expel Gaetz, it looks like they’re going to drop a massive bombshell on him.

 

 

In the meantime, we’ll see how much more dirt House Republicans keep incrementally leaking to the media about Matt Gaetz. Remember, while Gaetz was able to get seven other House Republicans to go along with ousting Kevin McCarthy, more than two hundred House Republicans voted against Gaetz’ motion to oust McCarthy. This lack of a Speaker was the last thing they wanted, and now they seem intent on taking Gaetz down in retaliation. Bring it on. Gaetz should have been ousted a long time ago.

If the party doesn't want you to have the nomination, you aren't getting it.  They literally change rules to stop it from happening.

 

That's one of the many things that makes Trump a unicorn.  The Republican party didn't want him the first election so he won the nomination on his own.  Same thing this 3rd time.  They keep trying everything that they can to get Desantis nominated.  Trump is crushing him into the dust.  There's speculation that the Republicans are considering pivoting and putting their support behind Nikki Haley now since she's moving up in the poles, and they'll get a certain amount of votes from the left since there are plenty of leftists that want to see a vagina (any vagina) in office.

Looks like Biden will get that racist border wall going again so Trump can hit the ground running.😅

A blind man could see this coming.  I've been saying it for days.

 

You p*ss off the establishment, and they stop protecting you.

It's funny that, with the exception of environmental issues, Biden continued a fair amount of Trump Administration policies.

 

I'll be honest, I didn't think that he'd restart the building of the wall though.  I wonder if AOC will be crying at and hugging people at Biden's wall...

The single most damning thing about this is how they evidently KNEW and KNOW about this behaviour and his actions as well as potentially his being a sex trafficking pedophile and was given priority within the party regardless while they protected him from the media and law for his crimes.

 

Until he was of no use to them anymore.

 

If these allegations are rue and start coming to light it will be 10% evident that the rank and file GOP party knew all about it and kept it silent in order to hold on to just a bit of power and if that isn't indicative of who the GOP have turned in to I don't know what else is

 

The Biden administration's DOJ didn't lift a finger against him either.  There's a possibility that may change now. 

 

If the FBI/DOJ gets suddenly interested in investigating Gaetz once again, it will prove deals were cut by Democratic leadership with Republican leadership to spare Gaetz from being charged with trafficking and having sex with a minor.

As for the videos on the floor of the House, that's been public knowledge for years now.  The Democrats when they were in power investigated it, among other allegations, but did squat about it.  As usual deals were likely cut to spare him.

All I will say is that for the most part, Biden is just as wrong a TRUMP was.  A border wall isn't really going to change the fact that the overwhelming majority of illegals in the US are due to visa overstays.   People who entered legally. 

 

And for large sections of the border, a wall would have to be built significant distance away from the actual border, making access for actual US landowners in the area a nightmare.   

 

It was mostly wrong then, and wrong now.

 

So, people who hate TRUMP can also be critical of Joe.  Interesting.

This is actually an issue I have had a change of heart on in the last four years. I say let them in. They're probably more like me than the regime nut huggers. That's why the wall is back in play.

Trump Literally Cries for ‘HELP!’ in Early Morning Truth Social Bender About New York Fraud Trial

 

https://www.mediaite.com/news/trump-literally-cries-for-help-in-early-morning-truth-social-bender-about-new-york-fraud-trial/

 

Anyone know where the "Peekaboo" nickname for Letitia James is coming from? (Besides Trump's minuscule mind)

 

It will never happen, but I would love to see some of his targets reciprocate with things like Donald "Pork Belly" Trump....or, Donald "Mulligan" Trump..."The Great De-classifier", etc...

I don't have any inside info on this Administration, but if  I had to guess, I'd say that this was strategic.

 

Another section of wall will do little to curb the flow of people seeking asylum, especially if the Biden Admin also hires more Immigration lawyers to deal with the backlog of applicants and give prospective immigrants a reason to try and enter the country legally. From what I can tell, we're talking about 20 miles of barrier.

 

The opposition is hammering JB on border security and this gives him a way to refute that narrative and if I'm reading the article correctly, spending money that was already allocated for the project. (but not from Mexico)

 

Your first paragraph is accurate, but I'll also add that the GQP love to complain about illegal drugs (usually Fentanyl) "pouring over the border" and claim that the Wall would stop this from happening. The fact is, the vast majority of illegal drugs are brought to the US by American citizens, through legal ports of entry.

There's also things like this...  😂  It's a political stunt from both presidents.

He just said today, when asked by a reporter, that the wall doesn't work. 

 

If they continue with building the easily defeated wall, that pretty much tells you that he's not the one calling the shots in his own administration.

"

Two lawyers representing MyPillow CEO Mike Lindell have notified the court that they are withdrawing as his attorneys because he can't pay his debts.

In a court filing on Thursday, attorney Andrew Parker said that he and Nathan Lewin both wished to withdraw representation for Lindell and MyPillow. Parker's 16-attorney firm, Parker Daniels Kibort, was hired to represent Lindell and his company in defamation cases brought by Smartmatic and Dominion Voting Systems.

While Lindell initially paid his monthly bills, Parker said the payments began to slow in 2023.

"No payment has been made for PDK's July 2023 and August 2023 invoices in the above-captioned case," the attorney wrote. "A similar situation exists in the Dominion and Coomer cases."

"On October 2, 2023, PDK was informed by Defendants that they are not able to get caught up with or make any payment on the large amount they owe in arrears nor pay for anywhere near the estimated expense of continuing to defend against the lawsuits going forward, including either the legal fees or litigation costs," the filing stated.

 

The document revealed that Lindell owed "millions" in legal debts.

"Defendants have indicated that they understand PDK's position, do not object, and are in the process of finding new counsel," the filing concluded.

Agreed 100%

The only thing I see a difference in is that I have not seen people being as critical with Joe Biden over the border wall as they were with Trump. I mean, don't you remember what some of you guys said about Trump and the border wall? Your response here is nothing close to what was said about Trump.

I think you make a great point here. How can you blame the Republicans if the Democrats in power are doing nothing either? Either there's a hush hush going on in the United States or it's all just a fabrication. But then again I don't know enough about the story. I got my info a while back on it and I thought the guy was guilty but who knows I'm certainly not the most up to speed.
