      Gaetz should have been kicked out long ago. The guy's a total sleazeball. Allegedly.

      I was only joking

        The saying, "Lite is just one damn thing after another," is a gross understatement. The damn things overlap.

                ...expelling him from the House Republican Conference and eliminating all his committee assignments and all resources other than those an individual member is entitled to..

                I think this is very possible. The few congressmen hold an outsize power, and the other 90% of the House of Representatives will have a long memory.

                    Then I suppose the end conclusion is that the voters would elect a new congressman.

                          McCarthy needs to ask himself the question, "What would Hitler do?"

                                Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-Fla.) introduced a resolution Monday evening to remove Speaker Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.) from his seat, triggering an expected intraparty clash and setting up a showdown for the House to decide whether to depose McCarthy likely within 48 hours.
                                Keeping up with politics is easy with The 5-Minute Fix Newsletter, in your inbox weekdays.

                                Gaetz and a handful of hard-right Republicans have repeatedly threatened to go after McCarthy’s speakership if he relied on Democratic votes to pass any spending legislation, which happened Saturday after McCarthy could not get a majority of Republicans to support various proposals to fund the government with only GOP votes.

                                      Looks like the Dems will not step in to "save" McCarthy. It will be up to the Republicans to decide whether they want McCarthy to continue as Speaker.

                                        Have to wonder: What is Gaetz's end game here?

                                        More concessions? A run at speakership? Hakeem Jeffries as Speaker?

                                        It reminds me of the dog that finally catches the car: "NOW what am I going to do with it?"
