  Meanwhile Laura Ingram said the dems want you to think the republicans are a mess…but doesn’t mention this scene. Nope…nothing to see here.
context: The irony of this display happening at the capitol on the anniversary of the insurrection is as hilarious as it is sad. >
  
  I always knew someone would end up swinging at Gaetz. Never thought it would be a Republican Representative though. Damn, this year is gonna be wild! >
  
  It makes sense that it would be one though. 
  The Democrats are by and large the adults in the room; and the Republicans, even the “respectful” ones, are all totally self absorbed and transactional in every aspect of their lives. 
  They’re all stuck in mental middle school forever. >
  
  There are only three types of people who support the republican party, fascists, allies of fascists, and people too stupid to realize they are part of the first two categories. >
  
  The too stupid crowd has been brainwashed by Fox News and the like. They prey on these people and gaslight the living shit out of them daily. >
  
  Listening to c-spans callers the past few days was... enlightening. It was weird the way some people rambled and threw out jumbled talking points without considering how to thread them together in a coherent way as to address the questions asked in a relevant manner. >
  
  
  As the 15th vote for speaker began, Rep. Dean Phillips, D-Minn., addressed the incident before his nominating speech for Rep. Hakeem Jeffries, D-N.Y., NBC News reported.  
  “I rise to say, wow.” Phillips then urged six Republicans to vote Jeffries for speaker to “end this nonsense,” NBC reported.
  
  Hell yeah, that's my rep! >
  
  Hey, I voted for that guy!! >
  
  These fuckers can’t even pick a house leader. And pretend they wanna govern a country >
  
  All the changes the Freedom Caucus wants are meant to give them more power and influence. They can’t even pretend this is about governing. >
  
  Can we stop referring them to the Freedom Caucus, as an non U.S citizen it makes them sound like a decent bunch. At the least we can tone it down a bit and refer to them as the Freedom Circus. >
  
  I prefer Seditious Caucus >
  
  Traitor Caucus. >
  
  C-Span After Dark >
  
  I’d subscribe >
  
  Canes out after the next vote. >
  
  Too funny! >
  
  Dude, they took away the metal detector. Soon its’ gonna be pistols after lunch hour >
  
  Which Boebert boasted about. Then after the incident with Rogers she said it “wasn’t safe” for them in there. Sure felt differently 2 years ago when she egged on the insurrectionists and tweeted Pelosi’s movements. What a piece of work - 
  
  or whatever you want to end that sentence with. >
  
  Lauren Boebert will be going to jail soon.
  It will be delicious. >
  
  Promise? >
  
  Seriously don't get our hopes up LOL >
  
  Et Toupee, Brutus? >
  
  You'd think on his salary plus bribes he'd have a better headpiece. >
  
  You’d think someone on his staff would be like “that thing looks fake as fuck, bro” >
  
  You'd think voters would be like "how the hell we voting for a guy who thinks that looks good?" >
  
  Screw that let them throw down >
  
  Hog Wild Washington >
  
  switched cspan on at the wrong time and I thought it was a replay of January 6th. >
  
  Waiting to hear what Gaetz got in exchange for his vote. Cos he damn well got something.
  McCarthy is denying giving Gaetz a subcommittee gavel on Armed Services. 
  Which means he probably did. >
  
  But then he blew it when he abstained at the last second, ruining that round of voting, for no reason. I wouldn't be surprised if he gets called in monday morning and gets told the deal is off. >
  
  He didn’t ruin anything. That was on vote 15, when McCarthy won. >
  
  “Gentlemen! You can’t fight in here, this is the War Room!” >
  
  I’ve watched that movie 4 times since the end of February just so I could introduce it to people. >
  
  What movie? >
  
  Dr. Stangelove is the greatest satire about anything ever made. (IMHO, of course lol)
  Also Top-10 quotable films of all time.
  Peter Sellers' capstone work.
  It's only 90 minutes.
  Do yourself a favor and watch it this weekend.
  We'll meet again...don't know where, don't know when... >
  
  I watched it last year, and it was pretty terrifying.  While the satire was clear all through, there were way too many aspects of the movie that were plausible. >
  
  Yep. Now imagine watching it when it was released on the heels of the Cuban Missle Crises. 'Fail Safe' is a straight-laced approach if you haven't seen any versions (the live TV play 20 years or ago with Dryfuss and Clooney was great) >
  
  That they mention the Biden administration going “unchecked” and thus a danger to national security is laughable at best. Where was that sentiment when the orange weasel was in office? Such hypocrisy from GOPers, per usual. >
  
  The hypocrisy meter is in the red. >
  
  Toupée or not toupée? That is the question. >
  
  Toupee AND a merkin, he likes it when the carpet matches the drapes. >
  
  Plus he got a discount for getting the chest hair filler at the same time. >
  
  Is this what a drained swamp looks like? >
  
  Bunch of rotten scum at the bottom? I guess so >
  
  It's pathetic that it has even got to this point. >
  
  I'm still mad that the CSPAN cameras panned away with McCarthy instead of catching the live action, should've watch PBS instead. >
  
  r/killthecameraman >
  
  If they're like this in public, imagine what it's like when no one is watching. Kids are always dumber when they think no one is watching. And someone is gonna get Gaetz. Flexing your muscles like you actually did something when someone is literally doing everything they can to hold a person back from beating the ever living shit out of you doesn't end well. >
  
  Should have gotten angry before mf was in office. now you’re stuck with him, and he’s one of yours. 🤷‍♀️
  establishment republicans are all googling “i invited vampires into my house, believing they would feed on my enemies and they fed on my family instead. how do i get them out of my house and get them to attack my enemies instead like they were always supposed to?” and are flummoxed to learn that the answer is “don’t invite them into your house in the first place.” >

  As an American, I get a little jealous when I see pics and vids of physical fights breaking out in other governments, I just wanna see it once >
  
  Taiwan was (is?) famous for parliamentary brawling, but it was rumored that lawmakers would warn each other beforehand when they intended to make a show for the cameras, and make a point of wearing soft soled shoes before taking them off and whapping each other with them. >
  
  So basically hockey? Amazing. >
  
  I swear CNN said Gaetz asked for a seat on the armed forces committee in the house. This dude is the ranking member. >
  
  I can see why that would piss him off. Four days of voting and all that repetitive anxiety, only for such arrogance. >
  
  Seems like it may have worked >
  
  I too would like to harm pedo Matt Gaetz in a hypothetical world which is not our own. >
  
  Only in Republican land is Mr. Rogers a violent psychopath >
  
  All is forgiven I guess. More voting. All good friends. Nothing to see here. >
  
  His rug is horrific. >
  
  Cabbage patch kid lookin ass >
  
  Hilarious. I just found my old cabbage patch kid from storage circa the 80s yesterday >
  
  My god, y'all, just wait until the memes drop tomorrow morning.
  I ain't even mad. >
  
  Keep your hair on Mike lol! >
  
  Dude's wigging out. >
  
  Are all of the repubs former used car salesmen? >
  
  Darrell Issa sold car alarms and Gym Jordan coached wrestling while ignoring abuse. >
  
  That’s alarming in its own way >
  
  C-SPAN just got interesting... >
  
  this was C-SPAN the OCHO >
  
  C-SPAN after dark >
  
  Gaetz and Boebert... So are they having a thing or is she too old for him? >
  
  As long as she speaks in a squeaky voice, overuses wrinkle creams and dresses in her schoolgirl outfit Gaetz is all in after a fifth of bourbon and dimmed lights. >
  
  For the last two years, because of the 50/50 split in the Senate, two Senators have held every major vote hostage to their whims.  Joe Manchin and Kristen Sinema got whatever they wanted.
  The people who held up the election of McCarthy as Speaker wanted that kind of power and they probably got it.
  Welcome to politics.  This isn't government for the people or by the people, it's a bunch of spoiled brats who want the biggest piece of cake. >
  
  At least manchin and sinema are moderates, not extremists. This is bad. >
  
  There is a big difference between Democrats and Republicans but in this case, they are the same. >
  
  Just wait until Matt gaetz canes a guy to a pulp on the house floor. >
  
  Well they're not allowed to overthrow the elected government either but whatevs... >
  
  If only they would get this angry over him sex trafficking underage girls. >
  
  Kick his ass, Sea Bass!! >
  
  Who's the grabber? >
  
  Official house Ninja >
  
  Can McCarthy make that a house rule to give that guy that title? >
  
  Gaetz was probably promised a leadership position on the armed services committee. Rogers is the ranking member. Gaetz’s district, South Florida, is full of defense contractors and military bases. Then Gaetz voted, present. Gaetz is fund raising off this bs the last few days. Rogers probably wanted to rip his throat out. >
  
  Gaetz is not South Florida, he is Northwest Florida. There is 3 large military bases and 2 small military bases (3 navy, 2 air force) and no defense contractors to speak of. >
  
  Maybe Matt Gaetz Venmo'ed some money to his daughter. >
  
  Most likely, Rogers tried to get Gaetz vote by offering his daughter, whom Gaetz rejected for being "too old"... >
  
  Meryn Fucking Trant = Matt Gaetz >
  
  Lol, at 0:38 someone yells out ‘on your knees’ >
  
  Richard Hudson R-NC is the guy who held him back. >
  
  They should put the metal detectors back and enforce their use before there's a gunfight in the House. >
  
  I am surprised that the thick hairpiece that Rogers is wearing didn't fall off during the burst of childish anger.  Perhaps he is practicing for another Jan 6 event. >
  
  From the video Rogers did not take a swing at Gaetz and did not move to physically threaten him.  He was speaking forcibly to Gaetz when he was grabbed from behind with a hand on his face and pulled away. >
  
  
  After the incident, Gaetz was photographed standing, smiling and flexing his bicep
  
  He's literally one of the bullies that verbally abuses people and then says "U mad bro" when the other person has had enough and tries to fight them >
  
  Further proof that violence is a negotiation tactic used by republicans who don’t have the capacity to use their words >
  
  Fuck Matt Gaetz >
  
  They covered his mouth so he didn't start yelling some very incriminating things out of anger. >
  
  The one time my Rep try to do something I can agree with, he doesn’t even succeed. >
  
  Ahhhh performance art. A look at why the Jerry Springer show was so reflective of human behavior. >
  
  Someone can be heard tapping a gavel as a woman says, “Stay civil.”  
  Fuck that give them knives and let them figure it out like the founding fathers they so often quote, intended. They don't have metal detectors anymore. >
  
  The OG way to sort things out in Congress is to beat somebody within an inch of their life with a cane. >
  
  That's what they were referring to >
  
  🤡 We are nearing full idiocracy >
  
  ahh....that was nothing....Charles Sumner got beat nearly to desth on the senate floor in 1855....and I've seen far worse in other countries parliaments... >
  
  Klitchko dropped somebody with a punch in Ukrainian senate >
  
  Let me know when we have a GIF of this, please. >
  
  There's a reason these two despise each other. I wonder what the reason and history of it all is.
