Matt Gaetz is an embarrassment to Americans. Men in particular. Someone please ask him if Trump will respect the results of the election if he loses. I think the answer is no and everybody knows it

He will get his ass through violence pushed to serve his time in special needs yard. No upstanding convict you can’t have child molestors amongst you as fathers. It is fact nobody will put up with rapist or child molestors and that’s fine.

If they would just pass a bill saying I never parked illegally and that the cops who gave me tickets were all corrupt deep state operatives who rigged the entire Justice system against me, I would be grateful.

Not grateful enough to actually vote for or support them in any way, but it would be cool to tell all of my MAGA neighbors that, by an Act Of Congress, I am above them and any of their puny laws.

I also think that some of the justices on SCOTUS could conclude that Trump didn't commit insurrection. Thomas, certainly.

If you can't get it by earning it, it's OK to steal it. To say that it was not insurrection sows confusion among MAGAts.

Greene: Anyone who calls President Trump an insurrectionist and calls any of us an insurrectionist is a liar! Shame on you!

?s=20


Here's video of Marjorie Taylor Greene at the White House in late December 2020 saying she had a "great planning session for our January 6th objection. We aren't going to let this election be stolen by Joe Biden and the Democrats.” Expel and arrest Greene.

?s=20


Marjorie Taylor Greene says "get ready to fight for America tomorrow," the day before the attack, while in front of the US Capitol. Greene also says "Trump was re-elected," and that the Electoral College vote was "stolen." Expel immediately.

This is all political theater not in the best interest of governing or solving problems for the American people.

They are auditioning to be VP nominee. Nothing more.
