      Yep. Now there will be a special election. His political career is over, at least for now.

          I was told elsewhere that Florida law doesn’t allow for him to do that, but feel free to correct me if anyone here knows better please.

        According to this there will be an election to fill his seat because he resigned.

      Oh I’m sure he’ll find a whole new malicious pick for AG. What’s Kari Lake doing right now? Or Lara Loomer? Or Rudy? He’s sort of a lawyer still.

        Look straight up. Now focus on that thing waaay up there. It’s pretty far away so it’s hard to see.

        That’s the bottom of the barrel.

    “I had excellent meetings with Senators yesterday. I appreciate their thoughtful feedback - and the incredible support of so many,” Gaetz said in a statement posted on his X account.

    And so many more must have told him that he’s not got a chance.

    I’m in utter disbelief that there might actually be a line too far for the Republicans. I’m sure the various Fox news hosts and Hulk Hogan are all on tenterhooks waiting for the phone call.

      Please, half the Republicans in Congress are gay or bi. They don’t give a shit.

      Gaetz is getting ousted because they’ve realized he left REAL evidence behind, and they’re not going to be able to suppress it if he takes the position, and someone leaks it. Might still get leaked, anyway
