Scumbag is not a legal term so you are right. I haven't seen publicly available evidence of the allegations against Gaetz. As far as I know he is currently under investigation by the House Ethics committee. Maybe something concrete will come from that.
That was a Senate bill and as far as I know it never made it to the house. Bernie Sanders voted against it in the Senate as well so total blame is not with the Republicans. The final vote was 50 to 49. The House did pass HR 2 last May but that never made it to the floor in the Senate. You would think they would have added their own amendments or at least gave it a fair hearing.
It certainly is interesting. The minority leader had to OK votes for something the party wanted. Now there is spin that all the credit goes to Jeffries. I would bet him, or anybody else in his party, didn't have a hand in crafting that bill.
Seems like more party discipline the Democrat side. Glad they got it done. Now the GOP just needs to rid themselves of their Russian apologists. Starting with MTG.
I suppose they could deny her nomination next time around, but I think her removal depends on her constituents, not the party. And what happens if she wins the state primary? I really don't know, just guessing.
Just so. There's nothing special about voting for what you really want without having to vote for something you really don't want as part of the package.
Better to rip the bandaid off now, restructure to be a actual political opponent and lose the election. Than to wallow in the muck lose the election anyways and still have to rip the bandaid off in the future.
