"SNIP......

Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-FL) told reporters that if Republicans win control of the House of Representatives in 2022, he will push to have Donald Trump installed as Speaker, Rolling Stone reports.

Gaetz added that he has spoken to Trump about the possibility of making him Speaker.

......SNIP"


Applegrove:

Republicans so don't want Trump to run for President. And they so don't want congress to implement any policies. Then again maybe it is a bait and switch to get MAGA out to vote in the midterms?

1. Good god

This is a serious subject about Geatz. Not so much what he says but what he’s doing..promoting up an authoritarian for Speaker? I’m seeing shades of Europe 1920’s as I’ve said before. Serious shades.

2. He's all for FF45's demotion

3. D'ya think Donald would show up for the job?

[Mr.Bill]

5. He wouldn't have to.

The main thing is he would be third in line to be president. That's what they want. I'll leave the rest up to everyone's imagination.

6. Bingo n/t

8. Yep. The obstructionist Republicans would suddenly start

making things happen at lightning speed if they had the majority and made Donny speaker.

4. Matt Gaetz can eat a shit sandwich. nt

[Me.]

7. Now There's S ReallyGood Reason For People To Get Out & Vote

9. Matt is going to jail. oh that's right, no he's not, that was just more bullshit. Just like Trump

or any other Republican actually going to jail.

It's all a fantasy, and I'm done believing in fantasy. Time to get back to reality, there's a better chance of Trump back in the WH than the jail house.

10. I hope they pin all their hopes on Trump and then, right before the election,

he gets Covid again and dies.

11. So THAT'S what's really troubling Kevin McCarthy . . . . . .

12. Would he still have hours of "executive time" in the morning and not show up to work?
