Matt Gaetz is out

Gaetz is very liberal. Why would he have a problem? He’s pro abortion, gay friendly, and supports anti trust legislation, and marijuana legalization. That’s why the Republicans in the House and Senate hate him. He’s not a partisan dyed in the wool Republican. He dissents from the gang all the time

Historic win!

Nobody cared about the supposed crime. It was a media campaign to get him out of confirmation. I guess next task is Tulsi and Robert

I think it will be Heskseth next. Lightweight with a sexual assault case that's getting a ton of media attention. Then Gabbard. No one in IC trusts her. She can't possibly be confirmed, and there are at least four Republican senators who take their job seriously and won't compromise national security.

RFK jr has the votes. Quite a few Democrats will vote for him. But again, there may be sexual assault issues here too. And that may tank it.

The Trumpers might think about doing background checks at some point.

Trump doesn’t like getting pushed around. This may push Trump to move the party more to the left as an f u to the Republicans in Congress and Senate and to the Dem Party who fail to move their working class family agenda through Republican Congress. Trump knows he saved the Republican Party and embodies it. He has the mandate and sucked up all the oxygen in the Democrat and Republican Party. He knows how to use his power. This isn’t over yet

He WILL BE nominated to Rubio's seat ... no doubt about it. I think the AG was a hail mary ploy, knowing very well it had a low probability of occurring. Yesterday's meetings were mere confirmation from the Senate GOP that his lack of experience would doom him more than some tantalizing report about sex with minors and drug-fueled parties (because let's face it, the MAGA world, including the head of MAGA doesn't give two shits about it). Given that his qualifications were in question, he backs down, knowing that FL will need a Senate filler and guess what folks, you've now moved him from the lower chamber to the upper chamber. Who's coming out on top here??? Certainly not the Dems! (Or bullshit CNN media personalities who can't figure out a power play. That's the problem with the left--y'all are not the sharpest tool in the shed when it comes to a game of chess.)

Emotion over logic clouds the brain. They lack any critical thinking skills. Trump could appoint Eric Holder to the AG and these clowns would cry from the roof tops.

Lots of Gen Z Joe Rogan watching frat boys out here tonight.

Kicking out the Speaker of the House of your own party as a newbie member of the House is exactly the type of person that would make a good attorney general. We don’t need partisanship but impartiality in politics again but it seems that is impossible these days. Trump made a nice pick with Gaetz and in fact, his next one may be a hyper partisan Uber conservative nutjob so once again the Dems shot themselves in the foot supporting Republican Congress and Senators in letting him go. Why? He would’ve made a very progressive attorney general in many political regards

How’s Ernesto (spl?) handling this devastating news?

He's barely even practiced law. How would he make a good AG?

This is the Trump advisor who put him up for the post. Hard to deny Russian influence when it's literally working side-by-side the incoming president.

Um... you realize this guy is an American, right? Good grief.

You could also say he's a Russian who was part of a failed attempt to overthrow the US government.

The AG nomination was a Hail-Mary shot to get him out from under that investigation, which is why he resigned his seat right away. When it became clear that at least some of the House ethics findings would come to light in the Senate confirmation hearings, he dropped out of that process too. He's doing everything he can to keep that report hidden.

+1 the latest was new to the reporters who have been covering this for years.

Sean Casten read the inquiries into the record. And he's still pressuring to have the report released.

Good to know. He's my representative. I will call his office and voice support for releasing it.

He’s also never run anything bigger than his House staff, unless there was an orgy bigger than that that we don’t know about yet.
