How can democrats vote to expel Gaetz for doing what they did?
O0ops apply that to Pelousi. Apologies.
Thats easy, all but the eight that voted to vacate the chair.
And where’s Mittens on this “chaos”?!
What about saving “muh Democracy” now?
Oh that’s right - our political dictators of the uniparty don’t care and are showing their true colors.
We need more politicians like Matt Gaetz and fewer RINOs.
It has to come out of the committee. If there are ethics violations, of course they will work to kick him out.
He took a shot at the king, and succeeded. But he did not remove the “royal” family. McCarthy raised a lot of money for a lot of people. They are not happy about it.
Trump won’t let Gaetz be expelled.
P.S. — This is how leaders in Congress buy their support.
It’s not really Gaetz at issue. It’s the motion to vacate.
In the eyes of the Swamp, this ties the hands of a Speaker to advance legislation that does not have a majority of his own party. In the view of the Swamp, anything of this sort that threatens the process of “keeping the wheels turning” is a huge threat.
The superior answer is to simply define legislation to get that majority support. If it doesn’t have that, it doesn’t get a vote. Why should that be different? Because in the eyes of the Swamp, that threatens the wheels turning.
It also applies pressure to the Senate they would like not to have. In the past the could rely on the “wheels turning” imperative to force the House to surrender. The motion to vacate rule erases that. There IS no imperative to keep the wheels turning.
Boy, a LOT of that bunch needs to be tried for treason and hanged. I have heard WAY too much that pushes me in that direction. They have COMPLETELY corrupted the process and are running the country soley for their OWN benefit, everyone else be damned.
all of em, except the eight hard right MAGA ones
As long as there are fire alarms in the House there should be no votes on removing Matt.
and this is why more people are going independent, BOTH sides are corrupt as hell just the GOP is better dressed. Notice no Dem would EVER even consider doing this, EVER to one of their own, but the GOP goes to the side that wants anyone they disagree with “Deprogrammed” and beg for help
Expel Nancy and Jefferies.
There are two sets of rules. One for the acts of corruption and the other which will put you in jail, for freedom and righteousness.
‘may vote to expel a member for what the rules call “disorderly conduct.”’
Except what Gaetz did was perfectly orderly, following the rules that were adopted by the House.
What would be “disorderly” would be trying to misuse the expulsion power against Gaetz. That would be conduct meriting expulsion for everyone that attempts it.
Totalitarian government is at the doorstep.
Also, if they do manage to expel Gaetz, it would set him up pretty nicely to get the VP nod, except that he’s from Florida, so he can’t. Guess he’d have to settle for some cabinet post.
