I think we are going to see a major issue change with the GOP.

Matt is becoming the Face of the Party in Congress. Not a look they want to carry into 2022. Matt's not the only Republican in Congress with issues, either.

Trump collected compromat on every one of those fools. That's just how Trump has always dealt with loyalty.

There's a reason every Repub in congress voted in lock step for whatever protected their mob boss Trump, who in turn was protecting his mob boss.

Maybe Gaetz is the stooge that's being made an example of for disloyalty, or for just being stupid.

Thank god Biden is the President & Merrick Garland is our AG.

When Jaimie Lannister comes to kill her because his mad sister is eliminating all of her rivals, Olenna tells Jaimie that she killed their son - a psychopath engaged to her grandaughter.

She's already drunk the poison he forced on her and its basically her last words. To tell Cercei that it was her who murdered their son (the king).

"Who dunnit" had been a big mystery for several seasons so it was a big "reveal"

The photoshops is a play on that - who has targeted (and destroyed) Matt Gaetz (its Liz!)

She knows shit because she has sources tapped into higher levels than Mark Meadows, Kevin McCarthy, Lindsey Graham and even Mitch McConnell.

If she's saying they're toast, I'd listen

We got to get rid of the weak Congress people, the ones that aren’t any good, the Liz Cheneys of the world. We got to get rid of them.

The Dick was so concerned he called her immediately at the Capitol.

Liz retailiated with that blistering speech in favor of Trump's impeachment

The Dick called her on an emergency number.

And did not appear concerned in the least when they tried to oust her.
She said she was going nowhere.

I think Matt going to her home state to rally against her was the last straw for Liz.

Yep, I don't gamble, but I would put my money on Liz right now.
And I would not piss off this woman.

My rich republican cousins used to live next door to them many years ago in Virginia. Were friends with them. She said Lynn was more of a bitch than her husband. That was back when my cousin was on the board of a oil company. Before Bush was president.
