Gaetz withdraws from AG consideration

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.
What a childish take.
Why did the Biden/Oblameless DOJ not charge one of their most vocal critics?
Because they had NOTHING!
If there is a reprehensible character in this, it is you.

If I’m “reprehensible” for wanting to see credible accusations of child sex trafficking and sex with a minor taken seriously, then I don’t know what to tell you.

If the best you got is “Biden’s DOJ” then you really don’t have anything. It’s mostly Republicans who have been outspoken about Gaetz. And the House Ethics Committee is bipartisan.

It is wild to me that anyone would want Matt Gaetz to serve as AG. Why are you so comfortable with his accusations and becoming AG?

Mas really has lost his way and I don’t know when it happened.
 
You will see. The confirmation hearing will be fun.

That time line doesn't make sense. Nor does it explain the girl in question and another woman who have testified to the committee that Gaetz had sex with the 17-year-old. Is that a crime? Probably not if the girl told him she was 18. But let's not pretend like it is a slam dunk that it never happened.

Now for the other side, for all of us--me included--who react negatively to this stuff and want Gaetz to hang for it: did you see Seinfeld the same way and call for his arrest and ending his show? Or just think "Oh, he must be immature. Man that girl is landing a really rich, famous guy!"

I remember thinking that was really effed up.
 
Mediaite quotes a Republican Senate source expecting up to 30 Republicans will oppose Gaetz nomination.

Let’s hope that’s right - I’ll be happy with 4. But 30 would be better.
Trump wants the Republicans in Congress to rubber stamp everything he does. That’s not how it works, but I have no doubt that many think it should.
It might also stiffen a few more spines for the other shit nominations.
No spines will be stiffened. Trump has a near perfect record in Republican primaries. In fact many of these fine senators would not be sitting if Trump had endorsed their opponents. One would think they would show gratitude and support Trump in manning the team he best feels can get the job done on day 1. Trump ran on going after the deep state with folks like Gaetz leading the charge. Any senator who opposes Gaetz over what Trump's base views as a complete nothingburger risks career suicide. If there is a floor vote I doubt the number is anywhere close to 30 in opposition. I'd be shocked if he wasn't confirmed should it reach the floor. Collins, Mcowski and one more at most. And knowing Gaetz I suspect he won't go down without a fight. Elon will fund their future opponents too. Either get on board with the agenda or time to retire for the nursing home.

I’ve heard your takes over the years and almost all the time you’ve been wrong.

Let me put it to you this way. If there is a floor vote with 30 "Republicans" in opposition there will be pitchforks and torches outside their offices within the hour. That's my prediction. Trump voters will feel betrayed.

It's actually the complete opposite including that wager you supposedly donated on instead of paying up. I believe it was related to you predicting trump would not win the primary in 2020. DBMs political intuition runs circles around you. You are no longer a Republican if you haven't noticed. Your party is gone.

I didn’t make that bet. Incumbents almost always win the primary. Try again.
 
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.
Went to extremes? Give me a break.

Let’s first set the stage. Trump engaged in misconduct that was unprecedented in the history of the American presidency. He tried to overturn an election that he lost. He obstructed Justice when he repeatedly stymied the feds’ efforts to retrieve the documents he wrongly took to his club.

Leading Republicans were as outraged as Dems in the days following J6. They didn’t want to convict on impeachment because Trump was already out the door and, as McConnell noted, the remedy was to pursue the matter(s) in court. That’s exactly what Justice did. But that was “extreme?” Ridiculous.

And that last sentence? Stop with the “holier than thou” nonsense.
 
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.
I'm not defending him. He's not being charged with anything.

You think you know more than Biden's DoJ - that's how out to lunch you are.

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.
For a guy who turns a blind eye to the Bidens being bought out by foreign money, you sure are mighty moralistic about anyone else.
 
Then you agree he hasn't been charged with what you're accusing him of and you're just a gas bag.

I agree.
That’s a weird place to land. I didn’t make up what he’s being investigated for. Stop defending pedophilia and sex trafficking.

Based on comments here…it appears law enforcement investigated and he was not charged?

I can’t stand Gaetz…he seems like someone who would hang out with Courtsense at a ball game.

I would not vote to confirm but you have convicted him of the worst crimes imaginable

Dranc supports some of the worst human excrement on earth

Trump is playing MG like a fiddle

“Go get the people and organizations that I tell you or you lose immunity an rot in prison”
 
I really hope the people calling to subpoena the House Ethics Committee report are successful in doing so. Or that the report leaks.

It's truly insane that there are people here defending Matt motherf#*$king Gaetz.
J6 all over again, attempting to weaponize every part of government.

'Credible', you're not.

The administration Gaetz continually ripped couldn't find 'credibility' in the DOJ's attempt to frame him..hence NO CHARGES!

I don't give a rat's ass what Kevin McCarthy says about anything, let along his bunch of uniparty functionaries, who are about to get exposed. This is existential for them, as Chaney, cryin' Kinzinger, and others of their RINO ilk are demonstrating.

The Dims have used every procedural trick extant in the past, yet squall like coyotes when the tables are turned.

Citigroup didn't pick this cabinet.

Suck it up buttercup.

The accounting is at hand.

LMAO!!!

One of the rare times you're not wrong - Trump flew on Epstein's plane 7 times, but not to the infamous island:

Neither Donald Trump nor Bill Clinton have been accused by any of the Epstein victims who have come forward of doing anything inappropriate.

And yet both of them often get treated as if they have by tribalist food-fighters.

Bill Richardson was (by Virginia Giuffre, same woman who won a settlement from Prince Andrew). But he was still extolled by many luminaries when he died.
 
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.
People are sick of the bs. And they can’t afford their lifestyles anymore. They know how bad the last 4 years have been for them and remember Trump’s 4 years. Easy choice.

Reality is they don’t remember the Trump years. Trump’s approval ratings were in the 30s and low 40s. He was very unpopular.
