    Fuck you too, Gaetz. I'm a person. With feelings.

    Or maybe he was tagging me, I don't know.

    For this to be true, it would have to mean that your 45,000 posts do not give any insight into your values and ideals.

    IOW, that you are just trolling, as I have often suspected.

    He's long since admitted that. It's one of the reason he gets dissed, dismissed and disregarded here. The lack of sincerity and thoughtfulness is staggeringly clear. :cadre:

    He admitted this over at Troll Kingdom. That's why a lot of us have fun with him, because we know he isn't serious when he posts here, but then he melts down so easily and hilariously when faced with enough pushback.

    Heard an ad from “Americans for Tax Relief” claiming Matt Gaetz killed a conservative tax cut plan amid other sins against conservative orthodoxy by forcing out McCarthy. They want everyone to call Gaetz’s office and tell him to quit siding with democrats :lol:

    Midge better watch out or they might find a less mouthy bitch to be their mouthy bitch. She should know those INCELs are fickle, and bobert is giving handjobs at white trash musicals. Bobert also has the looks and the MJ vape pen. You don't want those guys being reminded of their moms. MTG needs to make some sammiches or something because those toxic males might just smack their bitch up.

    Dear @Ten Lubak put this on your list of things you can pull out of context to say I am actually sexist for pointing out the sexism of their supporters. You are welcome for the tag. You have a lot of work to do keeping up as my biggest fanboi and I am happy to help out.

    https://amp.theguardian.com/us-news/2023/oct/11/nancy-mace-republican-scarlet-letter-t-shirt

    Nancy Mace, a Republican member of Congress who was a key vote in ousting Kevin McCarthy as House of Representatives speaker, has donned a white T-shirt with a red letter “A” on it to symbolize her being “demonized” for her decision.

    “I’m wearing the scarlet letter after the week I just had, being a woman up here, and being demonized for my vote and for my voice,” Mace told reporters on Tuesday, adding: “I will do the right thing every single time, no matter the consequences.”


    Tell me you've never read a book without telling me you've never read a book. :doh:

    Well, he started chemo for cancer last month, so....

    Can't imagine going through chemo while trying to be Speaker.

    Fucking Christ. IIRC (and AP English was twenty… fuck! five! it was 25 years ago! A quarter of a fucking century. :() The Scarlet Letter was the first novel written in America and The Last of the Mohicans was the first novel written by someone born in America. Regardless both are BFDs and these fucking morons didn’t even bother to read the Cliff’s Notes! :mad:

    It's incredibly unfortunate. But having gone through Chemo for cancer I know exactly what that does to you, and that it can be a multi-year process.

    I went through three rounds of chemo, all of them failed, before I underwent stem cell transplant. It took over 5 years.

    Scalise barely got past the nomination threshold of 112. He got 113 to Jordan's 99.

    On the plus side, Jordan is yet another person that Trump backed that lost, this time within the GOP itself.

    Let's see more of that please.
