Not the outcome i hoped for. Gaetz said the fight was to prevent a horrible omnibus from getting passed again

If a matter of procedure takes this long to resolve, I cant wait to see what they do with policy..馃樂

@whowasthatmaskedman right. you also mentioned that The donald needs to get on TV but he can't be accused of running a shadow govt such as Odumbo is doing right now. everything is in stealth mode. I know Kevin was down here visiting the Pres more than once

@akindheart I dont see the level of conspiracy you do. But I dont doubt there are "consultations" with all kinds of people happening. Our recent experience with a right wing splinter group holding the main party to ransom didnt end well for either of them. Its not the other side that decides your fate, its the People..馃樂

@whowasthatmaskedman we sure hope that it is the people but we saw in the last election and the Kari Lake election just how corrupt it was. Ask y ourself why anyone would vote for demented Joe. He is a puppet for other people. He can't even speak coherent sentences

@akindheart I agree he is not one of the greats.. I dont think he "won" the election. I just believe that Trump was such a devisive figure, people turned out in millions to get him out. So no. I dont believe the election was rigged. But in this case it was a No Way vote against Trump.

@whowasthatmaskedman i respect your opinion. and you. even if i disagree but i hope we can be friends.
whowasthatmaskedman70-79, M
@akindheart Of course. 馃檪I have a number of people I would call friends who I disagree with on some issues..US Politics is a minefield. One I am so glad I am not in. Your attitude to "agree to disagree" and listen anyway is most refreshing. So many seem to regard their political alliance they came way they regard their Football team. A lifelong, right or wrong alliegence. Where I see it as running the business of a nation for the good of as many as possible. And if someone is doing a bad job they should be replaced, no matter which team they are on..馃樂

@whowasthatmaskedman same team. Different jerseys to confuse the spectators (we the people. Lol).
whowasthatmaskedman70-79, M
@AthrillatheHunt I tend to agree. All the teams are owned by the same people in the end..馃樂

@whowasthatmaskedman I learn by listening to outsiders. and that I have to respect. I can get a little tunnel visioned over this. Oh Trump did call Gaetz and ask he support McCarthy. can we be friends?

@akindheart I am sure deals like this have been done for centuries.. But social media like twitter means its all done in public now and makes everyone look like they are wearing clown suits..馃樂
akindheart61-69, F
@whowasthatmaskedman Thats the truth. sometimes you lose sight of who is good and bad
whowasthatmaskedman70-79, M
@akindheart Very much so..And it is human nature to assume that if you can identify one side as bad, the other is good. There are so many different shades of dark grey and charcoal out there..馃樂
