The way McCarthy walked up to him makes me think Gaetz promised his vote just because he thought it'd be funny to rug pull McCarthy when the actual vote came around.
Wow...this has turned into a fucking shit show. They just called to adjourn till Monday, and now a bunch of GOP changed their vote to keep things going. This is fucking insane.

https://www.cnn.com/2023/01/10/politics/classified-documents-joe-biden/index.html We need to have extra security awareness training for old people that work in the government.
That and the Trump documents are why the CIA / NSA / Chair Joint Chiefs don't want to share things with the President, lol. At least Biden isn't mobilizing the Salvation Army to invade Mexico.
I like how House Republicans just openly admit they're retaliating for purely partisan reasons: https://abcnews.go.com/Politics/mccarthy-expected-3-democrats-off-house-committees/story?id=96344389
Just so I'm clear, these Biden documents are ones he had in his office during his time as Vice President? He didn't just box them up and take them there after his time in office, as a private citizen who had no authority to hold them?
Sounds like they were put there while he was VP, and locked away, and then he didn't know they were there, so when his lawyers were packing up his office and found them, he legit didn't know they were there.
He legit forgot to put pants on this morning but his handlers caught him. No one in the government realized they were gone for 5 years? It took his lawyers stumbling on them to realize they were gone? What top men we got in the government.
Ohh, because to hear people tell it, it's like Biden and Trump did the same exact thing and one incident can be justifiably used to "what about" the other even tho it clearly cannot unless in bad faith. Thanks for clearing that up.
Because both sides-ing everything will be the death of us. They compare what happened on January 6th to isolated rioting after police brutality because everything is the exact same. While at the same time downplaying and whitewashing the insane levels of violence at that capitol that day. Hunter Biden having a rough past due to x,y,z trauma reasons is the same as the Trump kids acting on behalf of the president in foreign negotiations. Nothing means anything anymore and words no longer have meaning. And that’s just the way the GOP wants it
Lol, ‘the death of us’ and then you go on to whitewash billions of damages and violence in “isolated rioting” across the country. I see you also framed Hunter’s influence peddling in the same obfuscation pivot the president does. “Mr President we have emails with your son’s malfeasant dealings with a foreign governments and it’s backed up by his business partner who received it. Did you know about these dealings?” “My son has had issues with drugs and I’m very proud of his progress.” “That’s not what we asked.” “My son has had issues with drugs and I’m very proud of his progress.” If the left was consistent and not just as engulfed in what-about-ism they’d want Hunter investigated for these troubling dealings as much as they crowed about Trump’s kids and emoluments. Pot meet kettle.
Don't you worry, the Republicans will be on Hunter like stink on shit for the next two years. You know, instead of running the country and making things better for the voters.
I won't begin to speculate how they ended up in that office, or why it took five years, but as someone who works with classified information, it isn't all that hard for it to happen. There are safeguards, but at that senior level of government it is entirely possible for information to not yet be classified.
Only a few of the docs were classified, they were immediately reported, and they are fully assisting with the recovery and investigation. Intent is huge in this stuff. Compare that with Trump who is facing obstruction charges for asking one of his legal people to lie to investigators, and him ignoring subpoenas, and it's nowhere near the same thing.
But what about Hillary's emails?! The DOJ just let her off the hook for that! (Seriously, the right-wing radio hosts and their guests are STILL talking about that.)
