Matt Gaetz is Trying Harder to be the Most Hated Man in the American Fascist Party

 

Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart

Matt Gaetz, Republican Representative from Florida, (where else), is a member of the fascist leaning Freedom Caucus, and therefore another Trump ass kisser. Don’t worry, there’s plenty of room for everyone on his humongous derriere.

For anyone who is not paying attention, the House of Representatives is a joke. Thanks to the TEA Party and the Freedom Caucus it is the reason our legislative branch is completely dysfunctional, and until these traitors to the American people are removed, our government will remain broken.

In January of 2023, the late-night comics had a great time creating jokes about then wannabe Speaker of the House, Kevin McCarthy. Throughout our nation’s history it has never taken more than one vote to select a speaker. However, because those who call themselves Republicans are pretenders, and incapable of governing our country, McCarthy was elected, but only after 15 votes. He was forced to make “deals” with the Freedom Caucus to win the gavel.

McCarthy lost the gavel after just 269 days. One of the provisions he surrendered to Matt Gaetz and his fascist friends was the reason for his expulsion. After several Republicans removed their names from the list, they settled for a far more extreme member of the F.C., Mike Johnson. Not long after his ouster, McCarthy resigned from the House.

Trump simply disliked Chairwoman Ronna McDaniel of the RNC. Under pressure from MAGA Republicans, she has resigned. A worse chairperson will surely follow.

Also under pressure from Trump and his Klan, Moscow Mitch McConnell has surrendered his position as the leader of the Republican Senate.

It is clear that the once Grand Old Party is now controlled by fascists and their Fuhrer, Donald “Adolf” Trump.

With just 34 bills passed in 2023, this congress will be remembered as the most incompetent in history. This is not unexpected. Look at a few of the names on the Freedom Caucus roster: Jim Jordan, Steve Scalise, Paul Gosar, Lauren Boebert, Marjorie Taylor Greene, and of course, Matt Gaetz.

Gaetz is taking credit for the removal of all three members of this fake Republican Party. If these are his “greatest accomplishments,” the people of Florida’s first district should remove him from office in November. Gaetz is the slime which is left when a swamp is drained, as are all of his constituents.

What has happened to our government is extremely sad. The truth is that part of the blame belongs to our founding fathers. If they had placed term limits on all three branches of government, our nation would be in far better shape today. There are hundreds of thousands of “old sayings,” axioms, or whatever you may choose to call them. However, two remain 100 percent accurate: “Money is the root of all evil,” and “power corrupts and absolute power corrupts absolutely.” Both of these apply to all professional politicians and their billionaire owners.
