Gaetz for AG

[larsIU]

Steven Alford pled guilty to 6 charges,

****ing Pierre Pierce man.....

The AG nomination is just cover. I mean, how is this not obvious? But the dems, again, go hysterical over the Trump appointment instead of the underlying chess move. Idiots.

Where’s law enforcement?

You do know that there was a potentially damning ethics investigation report that would have likely resulted in charges, right? And there are Republicans that are saying they suspect that's why he resigned - to keep that from seeing the light of day.

From the article linked above:

Other GOP House colleagues believe his decision is actually tied to an Ethics Committee report investigating several allegations including that Gaetz engaged in sex with a minor, which they believe was poised to be released in a matter of days....

...One House Republican, granted anonymity to speak candidly, tied Gaetz’s resignation to trying to “stymie the ethics investigation that is coming out in one week.”

Ethics Chair Michael Guest (R-Miss.) told reporters ahead of Gaetz’s announced resignation that the probe would end if Gaetz was no longer a member of the House.

“Once the investigation is complete, the Ethics Committee will meet as a committee. We will then return our findings. If Matt Gaetz is still a member of Congress, then that will occur. If Matt has resigned, then this ethics investigation, like many others in the past, will end again,” Guest told reporters about the impact of Gaetz being picked for attorney general.

This pick (Gaetz as AG) was preposterous even by Trump standards. It only makes sense as a quid pro quo - - Trump gives Gaetz the smooth exit from Congress he needs in order to shut down the probe and keep the report under wraps. In return, Gaetz agrees to do Trump's personal bidding as the nation's top law enforcement officer. Who knows what happens if the appointment doesn't go through, but I'm sure there's a backup plan.

His resignation was for this Congress. He could step out of trying to be AG in January and go back to his seat from this election. Congress would be urged to not investigate again, and if they do it will be slow.

I dunno. I'm sure the House Ethics committee could refer it if they wanted to but the evidence is probably more of a "damaging" nature than particularly able to chin a criminal bar.

He is a super candidate because he is the most likely to give everyone their candy. Tax cuts and spending. This isn't rocket science. What it does do is pull the GOP a little bit away from Corporate economics into kitchen table economics. People don't give a shit that their 401k's are doing well if they can't buy a house or live comfortably with the wealth available to them today.

It really is that simple.

Maybe Jared from Subway can be assistant AG

"super candidate" = cult leader

Devil's advocate: Why?

Clinton was a good President (just assume that). He was a slimeball in his personal life.

Do one's sexual proclivities affect their ability to do a job (outside an addiction that undermines work ethic, obviously)? Does one's use of cocaine in the past automatically disqualify one from public office? Why? I'm guessing a lot of people in power that lived through the 80s, for example, did cocaine. Why does that disqualify?

Added consideration: we just elected a man with Trump's background and character. How is Gaetz's different or worse in relation to either societal norms or his particular qualifications for the office and its responsibilities?

she was under age

Yes, bigly. The Dems put a lot of money into a smear campaign. And Robinson was a political novice and not backed very well by Republicans. Being black in NC is still a liability in NC when it comes to state offices.

Being an ignorant racist sexist idiot tax fraud fake minister is tough in any state. That dude needs to disappear.

 

[DANC]

You're not opposed to Gaetz for the crimes he's credibly accused of?

Cool. I'll mark you down for being OK with child sex trafficking and sex with minors. There really is no other way to spin what you've written here. This is truly a reprehensible take, DANC.

lmao No, I'm not opposed to him for accusations made against him that were investigaed by Biden's DoJ with no charges filed.

Are you on the spectrum?

 

[Indyhorn]

That’s different than what they originally said. Thune originally only said he’d consider it, but wanted to use the normal confirmation process. I seriously doubt Thine will allow recess appointments for clown nominees like Gaetz.

The senate with their 6 year terms gave a giant middle finger to Trump with Thune. Trump is seething about no Rick Scott but some in government will not lick his boot, I don’t mind that!

I thought his resignation would trigger a special election?

No, no..... I want these fools to keep spewing nonsense. It will just make 2028 a cakewalk for Republicans.

Too bad you didn't go to a school that taught how to use commas.

As I heard it this morning, and the guy could be wrong, that the resignation is technically only for this Congress. So he would have to submit one for next. I honestly have no idea how it all works.

I'm pretty sure he can't just step back in, but I don't really know either. Just going by what I read on the Cooler, which is never wrong.
