He keeps picking Republican congresspeople. Hasn't anybody told him why that's an issue?

That's the problem. If you tell Trump not to do something, he does it. Mike Johnson asked him to stop choosing representatives.

Gaetz seat is safe in bloody red panhandle Florida

DeSantis cannot make a temporary appointment?

Of course, but it will be empty for a short time.

There is no chance the Senate confirms Gaetz. They've already exhibited a spine by rejecting Rick Scott, the Maga choice for Majority Leader. The question is what happens then? If Trump appoints Gaetz as a recess appointment it will be chaos. But Trump likes chaos, so... It's going to be a mess and a Constitutional crisis as Trump uses the DOJ to destroy his opponents with or without Senate approval. Trump has taken his indictments very, very personally and it is vengeance that motivates him more than anything.

I was predicting impeachment #3 sometime in 2027, after the Dems take back the house. I'm now thinking it could be as soon as March.

I feel like this is an intentional target. Like Trump's typical approach of creating all sorts of outrage and getting everyone worked up about the worst. And losing one but getting enough. But maybe I'm wrong.

"I told you so" is a phrase I didn't want to say, and didn't expect to say this early, before Trump's even inaugurated, but here we are.

Matt Gaetz is a criminal, with an odd relationship with a child named Nestor that he adopted and had a relationship with. There are other assault/abuse allegations against him too. And Trump's decision is to make him AG of the country??

This decision shows how bad a president Trump will be. Republicans didn't win. All of America lost (except the criminals like Trump and Gaetz).

Are they embarrassed? No! They WANTED this. This is why they voted for him!

Yes. MAGA loves this! Fill the cabinet with incompetent fools and show us all how valueless expertise and knowledge are! Burn down the government and fire those lazy Feds! Make everyone miserable and angry so I can feel better. MAGA is an aggrieved bunch and thinks this is funny.

Sadly, you're right. The MAGAs all must think the entire US is a " s..hithole country". So, they want to burn it all down..." to own the libs". But, God forbid if a football player doesn't say the pledge of allegiance.

Looney Caninet 2.0 by the end they are all running for the hills and not wanting to be associated with the chaos of the administration. This should be interesting

You cannot appoint Gaetz as a recess appointment unless the Thune signs off on it. That's likely not going to happen since there are many GOP Senators who would block this nomination.

However I really hope the Democrats hoping to run in the future are not thinking and acting live the Democratic voters here. I mean some of you guys are just sitting around glued to your computers itching for "gotcha" "I told you so". We should let them govern with the mandate that they have earned and use their failures to hopefully convince voters to pick out side the next time around. But it looks like we have not learned our lessons and don't plan to do so. And guess what the results next time will be the same.

Great post.

I wish the campaign and election divisions would heal or at least be sutured and bandaged, and both parties would come together to take care of Americans. Really sick of the constant fighting.

Please. Half the country voted in the biggest bully of all time, who spews hate every single day, and it’s up to the Dems to play nice.

Sanewashing Trump got us to this place.

Exactly. Obama, Biden, and Harris all have tried to build bridges and ask for bipartisanship. Hell Republicans sank a bipartisan immigration bill negotiated by one of their most conservatives members. Folks want to heal divisions they can go first and be seen doing it for awhile. Not to mention I’ll wait until I see other stop being one issue voters and paying more attention to do what’s in the interest of the republic and greater good. Till then, oh well.

I have no interest in “coming together” with MAGA. We’re two counties and until we separate geographically & politically I’ll keep fighting them

Thune already agreed to recess appointments prior to winning the senate majority post.
Trump knew he was going to name Gaetz and the “Will you commit to recess appointments?” was a litmus test.

I still think they should not confirm Gaetz. Most conservatives like his politics but still think he’s a personal liability.

I did not know that. No wonder Trump was so keen to have Rick Scott as Majority Leader.
