Matt Gaetz as AG?

Didn't seen that one coming

My feelings that Trump really learned over the past 4 years. Poof!

[Gunny]

My feelings that Trump really learned over the past 4 years. Poof!An infantile POS under allegations of drugs and under-age girls. Guess we know what THAT investigation is going:rolleyes:

He has chosen cronyism over qualification.

Ditto on that "poof". There are far more qualified people to hold the positions he's handed out. And he STILL can't count. He's pulled another House member. Which is fine with me. After seeing today's appointments I'm almost ready to cheerlead for the Dems to take the House.

I was told yesterday that Stefanik is the only one that would be an election. Gop governors would pick replacements in the other cases. Obviously not sure if that's the case today

I believe the charges were dropped.

[Black Diamond]

See if he gets confirmed. He's got a lot of enemies.

[Gunny]

I believe the charges were dropped.That is correct. Doesn't mean he didn't do it. And he's both stupid and arrogant enough to. Matt Gaetz as AG is akin to Kamala Harris being President.

Might as well have chosen a Democrat:rolleyes:

They used lawfare on him and what better person to pursue those that went after him, Trump, the J6ers, the whistleblowers ... he is like a dog with a bone and he's going to decimate this one.

Sure they did. Gaetz is a walking piece of shit for and sorry excuse of a human being. Selfish, petulant child. He doesn't deserve to be in charge of jack shit.

[Gunny]

One can only hope.

If he did what they say he did why didn't they pay off his accusers out of the slush fund like they do the other politicians. They wanted him out because he doesn't back down. I don't believe the charges against him.

Reminds me of UN putting NK on human rughts.

[Black Diamond]

I just read Gaetz resigned from congress. He must think he'll get the job.

How do recess appointments work?

[Gunny]

If he did what they say he did why didn't they pay off his accusers out of the slush fund like they do the other politicians. They wanted him out because he doesn't back down. I don't believe the charges against him.He is still under House investigation.

Regardless, he's a POS. Been acting like the spoiled ass, obstructionist brat to get his way the past two years. F*ck him. Y'see it isn't about Trump, or the party, nor any other excuse you want to make it. It's about HIM. He's a POS. I assume anyone that supports him approves of his childish behavior. Trump at least has a self-serving motive. Others, not so much.

He's a dumbass if he did. No Dems are going to vote for him. That leaves 3 votes to lose and more than 3 have said no way. This is the Republicans' chance to get rid of his ass if he resigned.

The President can make temporary appointments while Congress is recess. Prety sure they still have to be approved by the Senate to become permanent.

When I read he resigned, I thought, "Maybe we'll get lucky and he will not get confirmed." Hey, perhaps Trump is a genius! Now, do the same to Taylor-Greene and the other one.

I was gonna post a thread in conspiracy theories saying trump has no intention of having Gaetz be AG.

:laugh:

[NightTrain]

I didn't see this coming. Gaetz never crossed my mind at all.

But if anyone is motivated to dismantle the DOJ lawfare machine, it's him. Burn that fucker to the ground and rebuild it with proper oversight this time.

Don't leave out Gabbard. I like her just fine. Popping up on news talk shows. She is not qualified for the position. She's a conspiracy theorist and Russia apologist. Intelligence agencies have to operate on fact, not fiction.

While fun to say, it can't be burned down to the ground. Cleaned out I agree with. I see neither happening him Gaetz. All he has been capable of so far is self-aggrandizing and chaos. That accomplishes nothing.

Not sure what's on anyone's minds, but we all have to face the consequences of this election in 2028. What they do now matters.

My problem with this whole 4-D chess theory is that it's totally unnecessary. We had as close to party unity between the incoming administration and the House and Senate Republicans as there's been in years. There will be hard feelings now, regardless of how this nomination ends up, which didn't have to happen.



My biggest regret with this pick is that we're now committed to wasting at least three months before getting someone in the DOJ to begin the clean up that's so desperately needed. That's three months we really don't have to waste.

Yep.

Now that he resigned, the sex probe goes away.

[Gunny]

Now that he resigned, the sex probe goes away.The House investigation goes away. The evidence does not. Some Senators have already stated the DOJ investigation and House investigation comes with him. They would be derelict in their duty to not include it.

Assuming this goes that far.

[Gunny]

Assuming this goes that far.I'm assuming it will. I don't see Trump withdrawing names. I see him pressuring for confirmation with his usual theatrics when anyone questions him.

That's the other possibility. We are in for a show if you're right.

As DNI she'll have access to more info than you or I will ever see.
that should clarify any supposed false conspiracies anyone might hold.
Also I believe she served on the congressional intel committee.
And BTW, as part of cleaning house in these scum filled depts it seems like a good idea sometimes to use people NOT brought up in the system, who aren't brainwashed, broken or compromised by the dept think & inertia.

As far as Russian apologist goes... when did you start working for Hillary's campaign staff as an MSNBC contributor?

Gatz seems problematic on several levels


"In 2019, before Epstein was arrested, Matt Gaetz said that Epstein's sweetheart deal from Alex Acosta should NOT be reexamined, arguing that it would be "dangerous" to do so. "
https://miamiherald.com/news/politics-government/article226861944.html

I'm not well informed on the recent allegations against him concerning under aged girls.
If true he should be Disqualified from the job ...at the very least.

In the more distant past in college there's even darker allegations of an auto- asphyxiation 'game' that left a man dead, where Gaetz was the last to be seen with the man alive. Homosexual sex rings/parties and the like.


Just the Epstein comment alone tells me he's someone who should not be anywhere near the DOJ at this point in time.

[Kathianne]

Ethics report. Unless it leaks. Never happens in DC.

You may be right but it i think it would have been dangerous. And maybe not just for reputations.

[fj1200]

Speaking of questionable decisions.

They won't be in recess. The Senate is going to be having to "advise and consent" to about a million appointments after they're sworn in Jan 3.

[revelarts]

You may be right but it i think it would have been dangerous. And maybe not just for reputations.
Yes, dangerous for Acosta's career or maybe more.
But sure in general a prosecutors job is dangerous.

IF i understand it correctly Acosta was supposed to tell the victims about any plea or sentencing changes.
That was his job.
He didn't do it.
Gatez says it may have been "to protect" the victims. ?? That make no sense.
Acosta didn't do the job the people hired him to do. Fully prosecute criminals, get them punished & off the streets. Instead he followed the orders of the Feds and got rewarded for it. (“I was told Epstein ‘belonged to intelligence’ and to leave it alone.”)
Doing his prosecutors job would have been dangerous for his career. but not the victims.

People could have ended up dead like epstein did.

You have no idea what info I have had access to, nor what I have seen, nor what I know. To burst your bubble, YOU have no idea what she will have access to if she gets past the Senate and you never will unless she wants to put being a conspiracy theorist above her oath and duty to the Nation and possibly get fired. I've given up on the idea politicians go to jail like low level operators for disclosing/mishandling classified info.

When did you start working for Putin and the Ayatollah? You're all about freedom, so you say. But only for you. Somehow you are entitled but others are not:rolleyes:
