Gaetz has been a PITA to Speaker Johnson and the GOP.  I wonder if the primary plan was to get him out of Congress.
I speculated the same thing.  He caused the whole speaker issue in the first place because he was mad McCarthy wouldn't drop the ethics investigation into him Venmoing a 17 year old for sex

The crimes committed during the riots were, for the most part, NOT Federal crimes.

Saw someone else mention this could be a win-win-win.  His resignation from Congress ends the investigation against him, but with a non investigation reason given; Trump can say he tried, but the deed state being what it is couldn't get him confirmed; and Johnson gets him out of the House

Were those arrested bailed out?  Were those bail funds raised and promoted by any significant presidential candidates?

I swear, the bail complains will fascinate me until the end of time.

I suspect some folks don't understand how bail works, and how it doesn't in some cases.

I probably don't follow that point, but I miss a lot of things.

better to be bailed out than not
way better if you don't have to pay the bail

not that I'd know anything about that
I always had to pay

I'd rather get bailed out than not, of course, spending time in jail pretrial seems pretty icky.

I'd rather not get arrested at all of course.

Don't do the crime if you can't do the time.

I hope this is the plan.  It really does work for everyone.

In other news, the cataract surgery isn't bad at all, a bit uncomfortable at times, and recovery has some modest discomfort.  They gave me a cocktail of stuff including some fentanyl.
Doc gave me some 6-hour Ibuprofen and Hydrocodone for discomfort
I told him Hydrocodone didn't help my lower back pain much and suggested Morphine
he didn't even smile
