Matt Gaetz: Expect ‘Bloodshed’ From The MAGA Faithful If Trump Loses In 2024

For the second time in as many days, a supporter of failed, disgraced, and oft-indicted former president Donald Trump is suggesting that should Donald not be victorious in the 2024 election, blood will flow in the streets of the United States.

Yesterday, former Arkansas GOP Gov. Mike Huckabee said on a broadcast:

“Here’s the problem. If these tactics end up working to keep Trump from winning or even running in 2024, it is going to be the last American election that will be decided by ballots rather than bullets.”

And now we have a sitting member of Congress, Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-FL), predicting “bloodshed” from the MAGA faithful if Trump happens to lose the next presidential election.

During an appearance on the Driveway Liberty Podcast, here’s what Gaetz had to say:

“It turns out they’ll let anybody have these jobs who gets the most votes. Well, you know, and now they’re trying to change that. Like what we were talking about earlier with, you know, with secretaries of state trying to decide certain, you know, Trump can’t even be on the ballot.”

Keeping Trump off the ballot, the podcast host claimed, has “been the plan from the very beginning.”

“I really worry that that type of action could lead to violence,” Gaetz agreed. “And I am so wildly opposed to violence. I don’t think it’s how we should resolve our disputes.”

The Florida Republican then added, “But when you start telling people that they can’t express their participation in this American experience through a vote, then they start looking for other ways, and they’re not, the vote is the best way to do it. The other ways are not so good. And I worry if they start to take the vote away, you could see bloodshed in this country. Like none of us want.”

None of you want that? That’s exactly what you want. That’s exactly what Trump and his Republican allies planned and carried out on January 6, 2021 as they murdered members of the Capitol police and defecated in the hallways of Congress.

Since they know the demographics of this country mean they will likely never win another national election, conservatives are willing to do anything — including horrific acts of violence — in order to take power by force.

One thing you can count on, however: When the “bloodshed” starts, you can rest assured that Gaetz and Huckabee will be in their chosen hiding place, tapping away on their cell phones as they post hateful screeds on social media.

Chris Christie Explains How He Lives Rent-Free In Trump’s Head By Using ‘The One Thing He Can’t Stand’

Failed and multiply-indicted former president Donald Trump continues to luanch social media attacks on former New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie, who is running against the ex-president for the 2024 Republican presidential nomination, suggesting that Christie should drop out of the race.

On his failing Truth Social site, Trump wrote:

“Sloppy Chris Christie, who was rated the Worst Governor in the History of New Jersey, had the lowest approval rating, 8%, had 11 straight downgrades of New Jersey Bonds, a record, was thrown out of New Hampshire after his last debate, and endlessly suffered from the horrible and never ending Bridgegate scandal, SHOULD DROP OUT OF THE RACE. HE IS GOING NOWHERE AND IS VERY BAD FOR THE REPUBLICAN PARTY!”

But why in the world is Trump attacking Christie, who is polling in the single digits?

According to Christie, the answer is simple: Because he’s telling the brutal truth about Donnie.

During an appearance on CNN evening, Christie told host Kaitlan Collins, “He only wishes I was going away. I was laying out the truth about him.”

Christie added:

“He knows I’m not just some politician talking about his problems. I’m someone who’s done it, and done it well.
“I know how deep his problems are, and how much they’re damaging both the Republican Party and the country,” Christie said. “I’m not getting out this race. Maybe he should think about getting out of the race since he’ll be spending most of March and half of April in a courtroom in Washington, DC.”

The fact that Christie is running is also likely a reason Trump is refusing to participate in the GOP presidential debates. Trump knows Christie can eviscerate him during a face-to-face and make him look like a complete fool.

Here’s hoping Chris Christie remains in the race and continues to lob verbal artillery at Donnie. If nothing else, it should make for some great quotes and one-liners.

Marjorie Taylor Greene’s Boyfriend Blows A Fuse When Voters Literally Give Her The Finger 

Not long after her husband filed for divorce in July of last year, Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) began showing up in public with a man by the name of Brian Glenn, who works as Director Of Programming at Right Side Broadcasting Network.

It soon became clear that Greene and Glenn were indeed a couple, especially when they began posting photos of themselves together (and engaged in public displays of affection) on social media.

https://twitter.com/TheSnarkTank99/status/1652751824519086084?s=20

Ain’t they cute? It’s enough to make you vomit up the contents of your stomach and swear off the internet for a month.

And now Glenn is back in the headlines for whining about voters in Iowa flipping off his sweetheart at the Iowa State Fair, according to The Independent.

Marjorie Taylor Greene‘s boyfriend Brian Glenn shared an image on his Instagram story of them posing with kids in MAGA hats, only to notice afterwards that people in the background appeared to be photobombing them.

Ms Greene and Mr Glenn, the director of programming at the Right Side Broadcasting Network, attended the Iowa State Fair last weekend following a visit by former President Donald Trump.

“These kids screamed ‘we love MAGA, Trump 2024’ […] They were so happy!” Mr Glenn wrote in a caption of the photo.

However, if you look carefully in the upper left quadrant of the photo, it appears a woman is indeed flipping off the congresswoman and her beau, which triggered him BIG TIME, leading him to call the people “classless trash.”

This isn’t the first time Greene has been photobombed. She also got hit with a dose of disgust while campaigning in Georgia.

In June, Ms Greene shared a video on social media which seemed to include a constituent giving her the finger.

The Republican representative shared footage of her entering a stage in her district in northwest Georgia to a standing ovation, but one person appears to hold up their middle finger instead.

Sitting at the back and declining to stand and applaud, the constituent can be seen at the beginning of the video, which was posted on 1 June, as the rest cheer Ms Greene.

Interesting how the right-wing MAGA zealots can dish out the bile and vitriol, but they sure as hell can’t take it, can they?

Fly Lands On Trump’s Face During An Interview And The Sh*t Jokes Write Themselves

During failed former president Donald Trump’s interview with Newsmax host Eric Bolling, a couple of interesting things happened.

First of all, at the end of the segment, the right-wing network had to run a disclaimer to counter all the lies the ex-president had just spouted about the 2020 election, according to Newsweek:

After the interview ended, Bolling rushed through what appeared to be a short legal disclaimer that sharply contradicted Trump’s election claims.

A post featuring a video clip of the moment was shared a short time later by the account @AccountableGOP on X, formerly Twitter, and had over 280,000 views at the time of publication.

“Alright folks, now just a note: Newsmax has accepted the election results as legal and final,” Bolling says in the clip, just after his interview with Trump.

And then there was the fly that stole the interview.

What fly? The one that lands on Trump’s face and was noticed by Keith Olbermann, who posted this:

Yep. There is indeed a fly landing on Donnie. And the insect must have been so disgusted by the smell that he immediately flew away, unlike the one that lingered in then-vice president Mike Pence’s hair during a 2020 debate with Kamala Harris.

The latest fly drew quite a few comments, with many noting that flies are indeed attracted to shit.

Stunning Colorado Poll Suggests Lauren Boebert Is Toast In 2024

 

Colorado Republican Congresswoman Lauren Boebert found herself in one of the closest reelection battles in the country in 2022, managing to eek out a victory over Democrat Adam Frisch by the slimmest of margins, just 546 votes in a district that leans to the right.

New polling out of Colorado, however, suggests that Boebert won’t be so lucky come 2024, according to a report from Sara Wilson of Colorado Newsline.

An early poll shows incumbent U.S. Rep. Lauren Boebert and Adam Frisch, the Democrat who came close to unseating the Republican in 2022, in a tie for the seat amid current political conditions.

If the 2024 election were held today with the two candidates, 45% of voters would choose Frisch and 45% would choose Boebert, according to findings from a poll released Tuesday.

An incumbent in a tie with her opponent with the 2024 election cycle set to begin (at least in part) later this year. That’s not exactly what a sitting member of the Congress wants to hear.

About all Frisch has to do at this point if he wants to win is increase his name recognition, something he’ll have plenty of money to accomplish as the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee announced has announced that it will indeed be targeting Boebert for defeat in 2024.

Frisch also has an opening among Republican voters, according to the poll.

Among Republicans who described themselves as not very conservative, 60% back Boebert, 24% back Frisch and 16% are undecided. Pollsters said this shows an opportunity for Frisch to gain ground with center-of-right voters who may be disillusioned with Boebert’s extreme politics and who might agree with Frisch’s stance on abortion and economic policies. Frisch painted himself as a moderate last year.

But the most troubling result from the poll is that many in the district say they don’t believe Boebert’s priorities align with theirs.

Respondents listed addressing inflation and protecting Social Security as the two most important issues for Congress to focus on. They put defending former President Donald Trump and self-promotion on social media as the two bottom priorities among those offered by pollsters. Those two issues, however, were the ones respondents ranked as the top priorities Boebert seems to be focused on.

In other words, Boebert is doing exactly the opposite of what her constituents want her to be doing. She’s busy representing herself and defending Trump, but not helping to solve the problems that confront the average middle class voter.

There’s also the matter of Boebert’s unfavorable rating, which continues to skyrocket.

In March 2021, 39% of respondents had an unfavorable view of Boebert. Today, that number stands at 50%, which suggests she is ripe for defeat.

546 votes were all that kept Boebert in Congress. But it certainly sounds like voters in her district are ready to kick her to the curb once and for all.
