The 2024 GQP Thread: Because Deutsche Gopher Fan ENDED the Last One

Is he likely to pay any of this?

I've read a couple of mainstream media articles about and it and many think he is likely to pay some of it but they'll never see most of the $148 million. Jones tried to get out of it by declaring bankruptcy but the judge didn't buy that excuse. If it was me, I'd take 5 million each and reserve the right to repeatedly punch him in the throat until he either passes away or suffers from enough dementia he no longer remembers why I am punching him in the throat.
 
Leopard almost ate his face, and yet he still can't bring himself to admit that he's in a party of face-eating leopards. He thinks the leopards have infiltrated the otherwise peaceful party. Sorry, buddy, that IS the party - you're just too stubborn to admit it.

Does that mean he needs to halt payment to anyone working on his staff then too (Lawyers, aides, etc)?

How does that work when one claims to have no money, but lives a lavish lifestyle?

Not sure but every dollar he does have or collect should go to those two women he lost to in court.
 
This from Oscar Wilde’s The Picture of Dorian Gray:

The ugly and the stupid have the best part of it in this world. They can sit at their ease and gape at the play. If they know nothing of victory, they are at least spared the knowledge of defeat. They live as we all should live, in disturbed, indifferent, and without disquiet.

Not entirely sure what prompted me to post that in this thread. Just stumbled on it in the car on the drive to Nola.
 
Nom, nom, nom.

Gaetz, a prominent figure of the most conservative wing of the GOP, endorsed J.R. Majewski — who lost his bid last year after a report he misrepresented his combat duty — in the high-stakes race for Ohio’s 9th District House seat. Gaetz has also voiced support for former Nevada state Sen. Elizabeth Helgelien, who’s running to the right in Nevada’s 3rd District, and for Darren Bailey, an unsuccessful 2022 Illinois gubernatorial candidate who is now challenging Republican Rep. Mike Bost in IL-12.
The common theme among these candidates who have caught Gaetz’s attention: They’re all ultra-conservatives who are running in primaries against candidates backed by McCarthy.

McCarthy threw his weight around in competitive races early in the 2024 cycle, including endorsing state Rep. Heidi Kasama in NV-03 and former state Rep. Craig Riedel in OH-09, both of which are top targets for national Republicans. McCarthy has also boosted Bost’s reelection bid and spoken out against Bailey for challenging the incumbent.

Gaetz rebuffed the suggestion that he is supporting candidates because they are running against Republicans who have McCarthy’s backing.

“He’s old news. Mike Johnson’s speaker now,” Gaetz said.

Gaetz has long clashed with McCarthy, refusing to vote for him during the marathon speakership vote in January. Gaetz then led the charge in ejecting McCarthy from his leadership post earlier this year, throwing the House into chaos for nearly a month and drawing the ire of fellow members of his party. It was a blow to establishment Republicans, who were already grappling with their thin majority in the House.

Now, with McCarthy retiring — just months after being removed — Gaetz is going after some of his chosen candidates.

Candidate quality nearly cost Republicans the House majority in 2022, with some far-right candidates losing key races. Majewski was one of those candidates, plagued by ads from Democratic Rep. Marcy Kaptur hitting him as an “extremist” for being on the Capitol grounds on Jan. 6, 2021. Another was Bailey, whom Democratic Gov. JB Pritzker labeled as too extreme during his 2022 gubernatorial run.

IL-12 is a safe Republican district, so the primary victor will likely have a smooth path to the general election — although a messy primary is not a good look for Republicans, who are still trying to rehabilitate their image after the speakership drama earlier this year. But OH-09 and NV-03 are both battlegrounds, and losses in such districts could cost the party its majority.

Gaetz brushed aside questions about backing conservative Republicans who may go on to lose the general election.

“Primaries are a really important part of the political process,” he said. “It shows the direction the party is moving.”

I haven't fully kept up on this, and I dislike Throw Rogan for multiple reasons, but the quote I saw bandied about that everyone is up in arms about was something like 'Kimmel doesn't want the list to come out.' Roger's never, again from the limited bits I've read, specifically called out the list as having Kimmel's name on it. Just said Kimmel doesn't want the list released.
