Not disagreeing with you…but voting to confirm Gaetz is going to be used against every Senator up for re-election in 2026 (whether fair or not)…

NC, IA, OH, NE, ME and potentially Alaska are all going to be hotly contested.

Again, not saying it’s right…but gotta look at it through their POV.

Ah, but what if he is a recess appointment, then those senate races are not as bogged down with the issue.

Just blame Trump, he'll take it.

Remember him scolding Schumer about the Wall?
 
So you oppose Trump:

" I am not looking for retribution, grandstanding or to destroy people who treated me very unfairly, or even badly beyond comprehension,"


Big difference in the media shit talking him, and the corruption and and such from the three letter agencies, and rogue prosecutors.

Let's see, shall we?

She was old enough to actively avoid showering if he was around, as she claimed also.

What's your rebuttal for that sick shit, Village Idiot?
 
I want transparency - the ethnics report made public before confirming him. It's a total Dim move to keep that bottled up & expect approval.

The most corrupt DOJ we’ve ever seen, that created crimes for its political opponents and twisted whatever evidence they could to fit crimes, looked at all the evidence and decided there was no crime they could prosecute Gaetz for. Without a doubt, if they could have prosecuted Gaetz, they would have. Just like Trump. Just like the J6 prisoners. Etc. etc.

So I don’t know what additional information 8-10 House politicians writing a report is going to tell me that the Biden DOJ’s decision not to prosecute doesn’t tell me even clearer.

The Gaetz vote will be so far down the totem pole in regards to what voters care about in these races. If the economy and the border can get on track in the first 2 years, then Gaetz will be irrelevant.

See you don't know, OK, let's see then. The whole thing of him resigning two days before it was due to come out stinks to high heaven to me. But guess you like it.

I don’t like it. I just place more credence in the DOJ’s decision they couldn’t twist any evidence to fit a crime like they did with every one of their political enemies than I do in a report written by a hand full of politicians who probably want to torpedo the nomination.

After the J6 sham commission I don’t think anyone should have any confidence in the reports these politicians write. I certainly don’t.

Depends on a lot of things.

But to say it will be irrelevant in mid term Senate races is very false.

Ill never understand the love affair with gaetz. Nothing but a low iq grandstander. Hes the very kind of person we should be pushing out of dc.

I don’t even like Gaetz. I just feel like Trump earned the right to pick an AG he doesn’t think will undermine him or sell him out at first chance. That’s happens to be Gaetz.

Had the AG not played a huge role in torpedoing his first administration, then trying to imprison and bankrupt him, I’d feel differently.

I don’t support everything Trump does, but I certainly understand this pick and why. And I can’t really argue with it.
 


Garland weaponized the DOJ to go after Trump and Trump supporters. They are arresting Christians for praying outside of abortion clinics. Some of these cases the DOJ had refused to bring charges while Trump was in office due to nobody actually preventing someone from entering the facility. Garland got into office and they twisted that law as far as they could. 70 year old woman got over 10 years for just praying outside of a building... No excuse to keep Gaetz from being AG if you voted for Garlands corrupt ass.

Im all for getting someone that will burn everything down. Gaetz isnt that guy. Hes just a grandstander. Add in the fact hes decisive and will cost votes in the midterms.

There are countless other people who could do an infinitely better job with none of that baggage.


When someone says this on camera, then its ample cause to remove them from their position. Before taking office they swear an oath to uphold the law and constitution. This is a direct admission they arent.

Desantis used this to remove people. Worked like s charm.
 
Basically, what needs to be done will be painful in the short term for the country. DOGE is going to cause a lot of government job loss (if they’re successful). If Trump truly is going to try and move back to a tariff based system, that will take time and be expensive at first. Etc.

Worrying about the midterms is for politicians. Republicans are going to have a huge uphill battle if Trump is successful (which is counterintuitive).

So Trump needs to pick an AG he thinks is loyal and will get the job (dismantling of the deep state) done. No sense in worrying about the midterms because democrats have those locked up. Just make the changes as big and irreversible as possible.

2 years to save the country!

I’m not arguing against Gaetz. And your statement is right, worrying about midterms is for politicians. The politicians that will be voting on confirmation and really want to keep their jobs.

Well, the standard of whether someone should be confirmed as AG is not whether they have committed crimes - plenty of ethics violations result in a finding of improper behavior that is not criminal.
 
I always go to Turley on legal matters:

“People violate laws any time they want.” Those words did not come from some Chicago gangbanger or Washington car thief. Those words of wisdom came from Democrat Commissioner Diane Marseglia in Bucks County, Pennsylvania..."










"
American voters are not chumps. They saw strikingly anti-democratic positions from those claiming to be the defenders of democracy from ballot cleansing to censorship to now counting defective votes. We cannot win at any cost when that cost is the very thing that defines us."

Imo he can do all that plus have someone that will actually be effective. Instead he chose gaetz.

My standard of whether someone should be confirmed as AG is (1) have they committed any crimes and (2) will they destroy every last bit of corruption and lawlessness within the institution in such a way that it cannot be rebuilt efficiently.


If we’re going to go one “ethical” standards, that should then apply across the board. Liz Cheney and her family made careers lying through their goddam teeth for profit and they were front and center or the democrat presidential campaign. Adam Schiff is going to be a senator. Countless people framed Trump for treason, lied about the laptop, etc. and are still prominent voices in the democrat party.

Now is not the time for the high road. Trump tried that in 2016. Now is time to beat them into submission, no holds barred.

Gaetz was effective in ousting McCarthy as speaker.

Hes been just as effective as Gowdy grandstanding in hearings.

By no means is Gaetz the best pick. Not even close. But I get it. And I’m giving a bit of deference on this one. All the picks aren’t perfect, but he’s a hell of a lot better than Sessions.
 
Throw up the meme "I was already for the guy at FBI, you don't have to sell me'

'his resume isn't traditional' hahaha.
That is a big part of their argument.


Where the f-ck have the traditional resumes got us? Where have the traditional resumes got us in Washington for decades?



From the article:


Former FBI Special Agent Daniel Brunner said if President-elect Trump chooses loyalist and former Trump administration aide Kash Patel to lead the FBI, it would do “massive damage” to the agency.

“Putting someone like Kash Patel in the position of director of the FBI is, I believe, extremely, extremely dangerous because … his resume isn’t traditional,” Brunner said Sunday on CNN.


 
Again…I’m just saying why I don’t think Gaetz will be confirmed. Not that he shouldn’t be.

Just want to make that clear.

There’s six GOP Senators that are 110% against him right now. A dozen probable no’s…right now.

A couple hard line no’s MAY be persuaded. Could get some unity with the rest if others fall in line. Zero chance of getting Murkowski and Collins. Think very unlikely Tillis is persuaded.

If anyone can, Tim Scott is who you want in this position.
 
Here's what she actually said in court....
“I am deeply saddened that I even have to write this letter because my personal private journal was stolen and sold for profit,” began Biden. “The point of the theft, I assume, was to be able to peddle grotesque lies by distorting my stream-of-consciousness thoughts."
“I will forever have to deal with the fact that my personal journal can be viewed online. Repeatedly, I hear others grossly misinterpret my once-private writings and lob false accusations that defame my character and those of the people I love.”

In her journal she was writing about being in the process of trying to figure out why she was hyper sexual but couldn't even remember a specific molestation event. She NEVER said her dad molested her. Only a brief mention of showering with him as a child....with no reference to age.
Zero evidence presented even from her own private diary.
You are a pedophile apologist. SHOWERING you idiot. This isnt washing the baby in the tub. Pick out the age where you think..

A) you can remember as a child.
B) it is acceptable for a dad to shower with his daughter.
C) having reached an age that sexuality would even be a consideration.

It is molestation by him even getting naked in the shower with his female daughter of any age. Couldn't remember a specific molestation event? I read that to say that she did not rule it out. The right answer....he never even touched me.

Go ahead. Continue to justify a pedophile showering with his daughter. You look insane as usual.
 
After the J6 sham commission I don’t think anyone should have any confidence in the reports these politicians write. I certainly don’t.
Equating that Pelosi-run sh!tshow with a Pub House committee report is bs. From that I take you think we should eliminate the House also & let Trump spend whatever he wants.
