You knew this was going to happen. Gaetz was a galactically poor choice.
I wonder if Eric Schmitt will be the guy. He got my kid to not have to wear a mask to school anymoreYou knew this was going to happen. Gaetz was a galactically poor choice.
We will see. There was definitely a plan. Rumors are Trump wanted Gaetz for AG and Kash for FBI while Thune could only guarantee him one. So maybe Paxton for AG and Kash to FBI. Will be interesting.You knew this was going to happen. Gaetz was a galactically poor choice.

The House ethics probe is gone. Rubio will be SOS. DeSantis will tab Gaetz for the senate slot.I wonder if Eric Schmitt will be the guy. He got my kid to not have to wear a mask to school anymore
Needs someone more loyal so probably Tiffany. She wants that billion $ inheritance.Well there's a clear qualification to be the next AG.
Isn't JFK Jr. still alive and soon to emerge? Maybe he is next man up.
heads will explodeThe House ethics probe is gone. Rubio will be SOS. DeSantis will tab Gaetz for the senate slot.
Gaetz wins.
So say some 3D chess players.
Are there any left, to explode, that is?heads will explode
Deals within deals within deals within deals. . . . .Hegseth and RFKjr may be next to withdraw.
DeSantis would be crazy to name Gaetz to the Senate.
too badLikely to be Lara Trump.
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.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
Ah, so he's Clarence from True Romance? Alabama was a sweetheart, I have to admit.He says they were girls he was 'dating' and that nothing wrong with giving 'gifts' to those you're dating.
Noem and Trump look better after the surgery per those pics.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
Just don't prosecute prostitution? That would be a libertarian position, after all, and I think he claims to be a pseudo-libertarian?I think this is an important point. If he’s heading up dept of transportation. Maybe eh. But he’ll be the nation’s top prosecutor. That’s a bad look
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.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.
rookie mistakeVenmo records killed Gaetz nomination.
YikesNo, 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:
Matt Gaetz allegedly paid two women for sex in 2017, attorney says
The woman, who was 19 at the time, said she encountered Trump’s pick to lead the Justice Department at an invitation-only party in Orlando, Florida.www.nbcnews.com

Gaetz was the sacrificial lamb.We will see. There was definitely a plan. Rumors are Trump wanted Gaetz for AG and Kash for FBI while Thune could only guarantee him one. So maybe Paxton for AG and Kash to FBI. Will be interesting.
Gaetz was the sacrificial lamb.
I thought the Hegseth thing was from just a few months ago?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.
Not necessarily. They could have struck a deal with the Senate. I think both will be confirmedIf that was true he needed to stick around a lot longer than 7 days.

No way for senate. That would put that seat at risk in the 2026 election.The House ethics probe is gone. Rubio will be SOS. DeSantis will tab Gaetz for the senate slot.
Gaetz wins.
So say some 3D chess players.
Huh? To what end? A sacrifice lamb is a decoy.Gaetz was the sacrificial lamb.
Aileen CannonDon'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.
