floofloof , to Politics in "No one can stand him at this point": House GOP plots to expel Matt Gaetz amid McCarthy catfight

one House Republican told White House correspondent and Fox anchor Jacqui Heinrich, “No one can stand him at this point. A smart guy without morals.”

So… is it the “smart” bit that bugs these Republicans? Because the other bit surely can’t be the issue for them.

givesomefucks ,

It’s safe to assume they meant “smart” as in sarcastic.

Conservatives love using it that way as an insult:

Oh, so now you want to be smart, boy?

I highly doubt their issue with Gaetz is his IQ, it’s that he won’t sit down and shut up when told.

Sounds like the GOP is playing right into Putin and Xi's hands.

Sounds like the GOP is acting on behalf of Putin and Xi.

And notice this is reported by Salon and not the TV networks or CNN.

They are siding with Trump.

Fuck democracy if we can make money.

AS AN EXAMPLE, HE VALUES THE MOST SPECTACULAR PROPERTY IN PALM BEACH, FLORIDA, MAR-A-LAGO, AT $18,000,000, WHEN IT IS WORTH POSSIBLY 100 TIMES THAT AMOUNT

$1.8 billion for a golf course? Sounds legit

Cry me a fucking river.

He also broke down Donald Trump’s efforts to classify Mar-a-Lago as a social club in the 90s, which saw the former president signing a 1995 deed relinquishing his right to use the property as anything other than a club and a 2002 “Deed of Development” forever extinguishing his right to develop Mar-a-Lago and limiting changes to it, including division or subdivision for any purpose like use as single-family homes.

“Exacerbating defendants’ obstreperous conduct is their continued reliance on bogus arguments in papers and oral argument,” Engoron wrote in the filing. “In defendants’ world: rent regulated apartments are worth the same as unregulated apartments; restricted land is worth the same as unrestricted land; restrictions can evaporate into thin air; a disclaimer by one party casting responsibility on another party exonerates the other party’s lies; the Attorney General of the State of New York does not have capacity to sue or standing to sue (never mind all those cases where the Attorney General has sued successfully) under a statue expressly designed to provide that right; all illegal acts are untimely if they stem from one untimely act; and square footage subjective.”

“That is a fantasy world, not the real world,” he added.

I can’t wait for the day that the name Trump fades from the media.

erusuoyera ,

Whilst I do agree, I have to admit I’m rather enjoying watching the well deserved rain of shit falling on him at present.

“Trump and sons rage……”

Music to my ears.

Nougat , to Politics in Trump and sons rage after judge delivers "the corporate death penalty for the Trump Organization"

... A.G. James, who campaigned against me spewing horrible inflammatory statements which are False & Defamatory ...

Did he just accuse Letitia James of slandering and defaming him? Isn't making that accusation outside of court itself slanderous and defamatory?

Every accusation is a confession.

adespoton ,

… or did he just say James campaigned against his spewing of false and defamatory statements?

That’s why Trump loves vague sentences. He can hide behind one interpretation while implying another.

Nougat ,

Lack of a comma, of course.

shalafi ,

Nah, nothing here. As usual he’s using weasel words with no real meaning.

This is hilarious. But also, he is probably gonna keep this shit up until someone gets killed. And then he’ll keep going, unless some judge somewhere has the stones to actually put a real leash on him.

Vode_An ,

The dingus who tazed his balls until he died at 1/6 probably counts as getting somebody killed. So yeah, he’s not going to stop.

NoneOfUrBusiness ,

Wait who did what?!

Too bad the death penalty is only for his New York business.

They’ll get over it.

david ,

Nah, Rump is a looser who hates admitting he lost even to himself. This will bug him for the rest of his life.

It’s so annoying when you can’t just pay people to shut up and agree with you or sack them if they don’t!

Oh, I’m counting on them all croaking being the event that makes 'em stop caring.

Works for me.

I am not even allowed a Jury!

You were supposed to submit paperwork to request a jury. You did not submit that paperwork, so you do not get a jury. You have no one to blame for any of this except yourself.

AlecSadler ,

Hahaha, is this for real? That’s fucking hilarious.

Floon ,

Yes. His lawyer Alina Habba missed the filing deadline, so he didn’t get a jury.

protist ,

The people he’s talking to don’t know that and wouldn’t care about it either way. Trump’s word is gospel to a terrifyingly large portion of society

It’s funny how this “large portion of society” exists on the elder end of a bloated global population and the opposite demographic isn’t filling the ranks behind them… Who knows? Maybe humanity in general will get smarter simply with the exodus of the hur-dur horde. 🤞🏽
