There was a hearing this morning in the House Rules Committee on the contempt referral for Steve Bannon passed by the House January 6 Committee last night. If we'd realized what a shitshow it would become, we would have put up a livestream. Oh well.
GOP seditionist Reps. Matt Gaetz and Jim Jordan showed up at the hearing and rubbed themselves all over it, like pomeranians who need their anal glands expressed. In this post, we'll focus on Gaetz, because what most people are talking about is how constitutional law perfesser and Democratic Rep. Jamie Raskin just drop-kicked Matt Gaetz's very large face so far up into outer space that, well, quite frankly, you could still clearly see it, because his face is too large for his body.
Our point is that it was just real good.
Raskin asked:
RASKIN: Do you agree that 61 different federal and state courts, including eight judges that Donald Trump appointed himself to the federal bench, have rejected every claim of electoral corruption or fraud that have been advanced, do you agree with that?
Gaetz grumbled some idiot words about "jurisdiction" and "claims not evaluated." The mean courts wouldn't even hear these very good cases, including the mean courts ruled over by Trump appointees!

(16,917 posts)for sharing the same "dilemma" regarding 'hate-reading' - but it is a worthy exception to go to Wonkette, for sure!

(14,061 posts)Gaetz is such a fucking embarrassment. He had no idea he had just been owned lock, stock, and barrel. True mental midget.
, Rep. Raskin. Well done, sir.
