Oops.

Who started this sh*t-show, anyway?

Oh yeah, this guy did………

Oust ME?!?! Get real……….

Well, he gone now, thanks to…..well…………...this guy:

I use this junior high pic of Matt Gaetz, to emphasize the age at which his development was permanently arrested.

So, at a recent (before the Speaker-coup) fundraiser, sitting Congressman Matt Gaetz squeezes out this turd into the Gimme-money-punch-bowl:

“I don’t believe that we are endeavoring upon a legitimate impeachment of Joe Biden,” Gaetz told Steve Bannon, a podcaster and onetime political adviser to former President Donald Trump, who was moderating the discussion. “They’re trying to engage in a, like, ‘forever war’ of impeachment,” Gaetz said. “And like many of our forever wars, it will drag on forever and end in a bloody draw.”

This little gem was uttered during a Zoom-fundraiser (?!) with Steve (pardoned felon) Bannon who was moderating the “discussion.”

But surely Matt Gaetz is the only GOPer who feels this way?

Nope.

Matt is mattched by……well…..…...Matt:

At an invitation-only fundraiser held over Zoom last week, Gaetz, R-Fla., and [Rep. Matt] Rosendale, who is said to be plotting another Senate run next year, heaped skepticism on the probe. [...] During the fundraiser, Rosendale joined Gaetz in denouncing the Republicans’ hotly tipped impeachment inquiry. Rosendale likened Congress’ probe of Biden to the federal indictment of the president’s son Hunter, which critics say has been tainted by preferential treatment and argue is a “smokescreen” intended to deflect attention from more serious crimes they accuse Hunter Biden of having committed, like working for foreign interests to influence U.S. policy. “They’re doing the exact same thing,” Rosendale said. Gaetz said: “I just don’t get the sense that it’s for the sake of impeachment. I think it’s for the sake of having another bad thing to say about Joe Biden.”

Representative Jimmy “Smokescreen” Comer is gonna be PISSED.

Still, in the video, Gaetz told the attendees he meant no offense to Jordan or Comer, R-Ky., the chair of the Oversight Committee, who are overseeing the closely watched probes. But, he added, according to the recording, “if this was serious, we would have sent a subpoena to Hunter Biden.”

And I’ll leave you with the funniest thing you’ll hear all day:

Gaetz has criticized the impeachment inquiry before. But underpinning the remarks is the tension of whether the sentiment could play into Gaetz’s and Rosendale’s support for Jordan in the speaker’s race. Asked about his remarks, Gaetz told NBC News: “Kevin wasn’t serious. Jim Jordan is.” Rosendale did not respond to a request for comment.

IRONY NOTE: Isn’t it interesting that Trump’s first impeachment was about activities tied directly to…………...finding dirt on Hunter Biden?

Full circle. 360°.

Which, coincidentally, is approximately the current temperature of Donald Trump’s brain.

So, did Matt oust Kev because of all this tomfoolery in the House?

Doubtful.

More likely, he wants to try to get that upcoming report about him from the House Ethics Committee, squashed like a bug.
