Gaetz withdraws from AG consideration
- Thread starter dbmhoosier
- Start date
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
"super candidate" = cult leader
Get off Facebook….you are a perfect example of why Trump curb stomped Harris
Being an ignorant racist sexist idiot tax fraud fake minister is tough in any state. That dude needs to disappear.
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?
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.
5d chess ~~~ !!
There's one space on the board.... Black hole... but you have to find it yourself... No hints.
Could we simply have this little note added to every Leftist post going forward?
I'm all about efficiency.
Motion on the floor, may I get a second please?
Man, I’m really glad I’m not in a position to have to try and defend someone like Matt Gaetz.
I’m sorry DANC but you’re wrong here and it’s pretty effed up.
I'm not defending him. Just stating facts. That's your problem - you don't undestand the difference.
WHOA ! ! ! @DANC Ohio thinks you are wrong...
Blahhahahahahahahhahaahahaa OHHHH "Effed up" level wrong.. ... muahahahahahahahahhaa
Danc defended Trump’s being a frequent flyer on the LoLita Express, now Gaetz as Justice- seems like we know what Trump wants and it’s others who don’t want legal age gals! Sadly only I seem to stand against pedophilia in the WC. Very disturbing.

Yeah - child sex trafficking and sex with minors is so funny. What the f*%k is wrong with you people?
Maybe I’m old fashioned, but I still think those are pretty serious accusations. You guys seem to be cool with it though.
Yeah - this is super disturbing. I’m actually shocked by some of the responses here. I naively thought sex trafficking and sex with minors was universally shunned and flatly rejected as morally abhorrent.
Apparently not.
But is it really that important to you, like really? If it wasn't something that YOU could kind of tie to Trump, would you pick this up off of the 24 hours news? ..IF Trump wasn't mentioned?
I know we all know the answer, so do the GREEN thing and don't reply. That would only add to climate change. ... NOOO STOPP... I saw you reaching for the keyboard, just stop. You are only going to add to climate destruction..
NOOO ! ! ! Stop it. Step away. Bad dog, no biscuit until you step away!
You are defending him. You’re saying that the crimes he’s being investigated for are made up. That’s not stating facts.
Nevermind that most the accounts of him showing pictures and bragging about sleeping with underage girls come from Republicans/conservative legislators and the House Ethics committee is bipartisan. You think there is no merit to the investigation because Joe Biden is president.
Let’s just call a spade a spade here. You’re defending Gaetz solely because he’s currently in Trump’s good graces. If Trump threw him under the bus and accused him of what he’s being accused of, you’d fall in line.
I’ll prove it to you. Watch this clip and tell me what you think of it.
Are you serious? He has been nominated as Attorney General. You should google it.
So you agree that it's only because of his ties to Trump, that it's important to you.
You could have simply said that, but here you are burning up more greenhouse gasses, creating an argument. We lost 3 limbs off of a tree in Siberia just because of your reply (you know how precious those are?).
I’m not sure this is the ‘gotcha’ you think it is.
I’d love nothing more than to have read about Matt Gaetz today getting indicted for his crimes and fall off as a random footnote to history.
You’re right - Trump does want to name an accused child trafficker and statutory rapist Attorney General. You tell me - what is the appropriate response to that?
Do you not care about the environment? You don't care about killing millions by the KILLobytes that you send by creating this argument?
Again, the majority of voters think the price of a gallon of gas and a Big Mac is more important than character, country, and the rule of law. I suspect there are any number of Trump voters who today are chagrined with Trump's nominations, but those who were all in on him before will be all in on him for the next four years. And while that may be disturbing, it shouldn't be surprising. We reap what we sow.
Shapiro made the argument that the Dems who went to extremes to go after Trump, not caring if it was wise or not, "weaponizing" the federal and state prosecutorial system and just caring about getting Trump thrown in jail or made unelectable, are now reaping what they sowed.
Doesn't make sense to me as a way to laud it, but there you have it. You partisans all reject the very basic notion of two wrongs don't make a right.
Trump tried to overturn a free and fair election and stole troves of state secrets. The majority didn't seem to care.
Blow me shit all you want. I'm just having a hard time reconciling that the majority of my countrymen have a different moral compass than I do. Then again, I don't drive much and rarely eat out.
Those accusations should be investigated by law enforcement…not a congressional ethics committee
