  Well thank you for that, I moved in right after he was elected the first time. I only replaced one of your votes, but it's been enough to keep him! Haha. 
  I know he is sort of moderate, but he has had a couple of times like these over the last year or two where he has stood out and I've felt proud to call him my rep.
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. >
  
  That's always been how it is on C-Span. And it's a goddamn mystery how these drooling morons are so entertained by C-Span over any of the cable news channels. Why are they watching C-Span?! >
  
  BECAUSE there is no analysis and no wide pan views they get to make up any kind of shit they want in their head of what's happening. Strongest argument yet for allowing multiple C-SPAN cameras not just the House or Senate government-owned camera. >
  
  It's because cspan gives them platform to call in and say whatever they want. If fox offered that you'd never hear these ppl on cspan again. >
  
  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. >
  
  In the US, ‘freedom’ and ‘liberty’ are basically euphemisms for right-wing authoritarianism. Any group with those words in their name is suspect >
  
  Just like 1984 >
  
  “The party told you to reject the evidence of your eyes and ears. It was their final, most essential command.” >
  
  
  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!! >
  
  My wife and I moved just before the election where he first got elected but made sure to vote early while we still lived in his district to flip it.
