lol right after Hakeem Jeffries said on The View if he is sworn in on Jan 3 again releasing the ethics report would be back on the table, and that they’re currently prohibited from releasing it since he’s no longer a member of Congress

Doesn't McCarthy have an ally or two that can finish him off for good?

sophiafhc.bsky.social•93 days ago

So is he going to try for Senate or Governor of Florida? Who has to put up with him next?

kabledsoe67.bsky.social•93 days ago

🤣 Don't let the door hit ya Matty!

armagh444.bsky.social•93 days ago

A good friend and I have been discussing what his next move will be.

I figure becoming the next Andrew Tate would be on brand.

itgetzbybuckner.bsky.social•93 days ago

Well someone has to take Pete Hesgeth spot on Fox & Friends Weekend.....

BIG sad, Fred!

Retiring to spend more time with his passion, mentoring high school girls on navigating the criminal justice system.

momny.bsky.social•93 days ago

Run for Governor?

yernottheboss.bsky.social•93 days ago

Yeah. I'm crying my lib tears.

Like Einstein's theory of relativity, ETTD survives yet another test, 100% intact.

anita72.bsky.social•93 days ago

I'm sure he has a promising future at Fox or NewsMax.

edoggthered.bsky.social•93 days ago

Remember that "Congress" includes the House *and* the Senate and I'm holding him to this.

jonniola.com•93 days ago

He's probably eying up Rubio's senate seat 😞

yourhost.bsky.social•93 days ago

concerning

realnathanjames.bsky.social•93 days ago

Gaetz knows that if he takes his elected seat in the next Congress, that ethics report once again becomes operative, too.

kengoodmanpnw.bsky.social•93 days ago

He knows the Ethics Committee would immediately slam him with their report as soon as he was sworn in.

Same goes if he ever ran for US Senate, where even fewer people can tolerate him.

leu2500.bsky.social•93 days ago

Tells you how disliked he is by his peers

blanson100.bsky.social•93 days ago

It gives him more time to spend time with Nestor

jamieloonam.bsky.social•93 days ago

Once he joins Fox News, no one will care about the allegations anymore.

annieup.bsky.social•93 days ago

Make him the capital hill matron.

christinelouise.bsky.social•93 days ago

Those GOP Senators against him probably let him know if he tried to get back into the House or get appointed by DeSantis to Rubio’s Senate seat they would make public the report and have him prosecuted.

pnwwestcoast.bsky.social•93 days ago

Very.

wearemaine.bsky.social•93 days ago

Oh yeah! 🎉

Full time pedophile now I guess

kamic.bsky.social•93 days ago

I love this for him - and us!

liberallady5678.bsky.social•93 days ago

Go back into your MAGA hole. No one wants you around. You have no friends in Congress. About time the Conservatives believed that men do rape and women are not lying about it!

liberallady5678.bsky.social•93 days ago

YIPPIE! Ugly Steve Bannon, as usual, has a negative warning to the MAGA idiots! Who cares about him, anyway? Just another negative fool that the rest of us will deal with in time. One down, many more to go. We can work at finally ridding the country of MAGA!

louz.bsky.social•93 days ago

Oh....wonder where he turns up....cause you know he will turn up somewhere

hipkat11.bsky.social•93 days ago

He’ll likely land at Fox- maybe they’ll give him Hegseth’s old chair.

douggordon.bsky.social•93 days ago

That ethics report must be devastating.

fpwellman.bsky.social•93 days ago

Big time.

ohiobrent.bsky.social•93 days ago

He’ll be appointed to the Senate by DeSantis.
Failing upwards is viewed highly by republicans

marieinsedona.bsky.social•93 days ago

I’m so down, I think I’d consider having a beer with Kevin McCarthy.

yosaffbrige.bsky.social•93 days ago

January 21, 2025 Gaetz announces his run for FL governor.

ascablander.bsky.social•93 days ago

He'll just go back to FL and exploit his daddy's powerful political connections and continue living in blissful power, wealth, and unaccountability.
I'm feeling no schadenfreude.
