Gaetz withdraws from AG consideration

Hegseth and RFKjr may be next to withdraw.

DeSantis would be crazy to name Gaetz to the Senate.
 
I have not followed this. Does he have an excuse? In his 30s at bars in tbor city and he thought they were over 21? Fake id. One time drunk. Duped. What’s he say
No, the one 17 year old was basically at a sex party set up by his buddy. Bunch of coke and hookers. This was in 2017, so not all that long ago.

Here's another one, 19:

 
It's the new MAGA look. His face is now very similar to several other high-profile MAGA-heads. I think he wanted to look more like Laura Loomer

Noem and Trump look better after the surgery per those pics.
 
I still think he was picked for one of two reasons (or both):

(1) he owed Gaetz for some reason

or/and

(2) it's a test to see who in the Senate are most loyal to Trump.

On (2), it will be interesting to see who leads the NFW charge in the Senate and how many jump on board. Once there are enough that confirmation clearly is not going to happen, I wonder if it will (a) open the floodgates to more piling on, or (b) cause the others to be relieved that they did not have to vote no. "Mr. President, I was ready to confirm Gaetz but these other assholes aren't as loyal as I am." It's already alarming and shocking how many in the Senate appear to be brushing off the allegations as no big deal or merely a young guy sowing his wild oats. Flies in the face of self-proclaimed Christians trying to stop the evils of sex trafficking, liberal debauchery, etc.
I think Trump wanted a loyal guy to watch his back at DOJ. That's not unheard of--JFK, Reagan, even Obama put someone at AG that they had prior deep trust with.

Now, how someone could trust Gaetz is a mystery to me, but he must have sold it pretty well. I'd guess in private he said "I'll go after anyone who comes after you."
 
If that was true he needed to stick around a lot longer than 7 days.

Focus will now move to Tulsi or Hegseth who's accused of raping some woman in a hotel a few years ago.
I thought the Hegseth thing was from just a few months ago?
 
Don't be surprised if it's Bailey. You get everything you'd get with Gaetz but the Senate would have almost no argument for not confirming him.

Not necessarily. They could have struck a deal with the Senate. I think both will be confirmed

Way the hell too early for something like that. Confirmation hearings are 2+months out and basically no vetting has occurred by anyone, at this point
