Trump Presidency Round 2

[IrishLax]

We’ll find out. Could be a sacrificial lamb

This is true, would be a good chess move to offer him up to get tanked so that other guys can get through.

“Oh you don’t like this predator? Well how about this [less offensive option]?”

 

[IrishLax]

Any chance things were going to get ugly in the house with his investigation and this is a noble way for Gaetz to get out of town if he doesn't get approved.

 

[ab2cmiller]

Just smells like a plan for him to save face doesn't it???? I mean it would smell less like that if he wouldn't have already resigned. Literally nobody else would resign before being confirmed.

4D chess m'lord........or just appoint a loyalist who you perceive to be a target of unjust with sex crimes investigations and you'll be able to own the libz and make establishment GOP'ers upset. LOL

Gaetz gets excuse to resign his seat, deprive ethics committee of jurisdiction, and makes it easier for Donald's real AG nominee?

4D chess!

 

[NorthDakota]

If he gets rejected, does he get to go back to his seat or would he be out?

No. He resigned.

 

[drayer54]

I think we just took step one of two in getting rid of Matt Gaetz.

It's not 4D Chess. Gaetz gets to bow out on better terms. Johnson gets to lose a waste of a seat, and Trump gets cameras on him. Gaetz won't be AG and I doubt they let this get out of hand in a confirmation hearing. Hell, even McCarthy would speak against him.

Can we get rid of Marjorie Taylor Greene too? Who’s with me?!

Yep. It's done.

I would like that very much.

Because we live in a cruel and unjust world, she'll probably get appointed to a cabinet level position

I don't understand why the Dems have thrown a bunch of money at candidates to run against her the last two cycles. She lives in a district that's like 75% red, she's not going anywhere. I think Boebert just moved to a more red district too so she wouldn't have to run a tight campaign against a Democrat.

Boebert at least Is willing to cross the political aisle to give a handy to a democrat in a theater. MTG only puts out to tantric sex guru gym owners (I think that's a Jill Stein voter).

Sacrifice a pawn - that's just regular chess.

So he's been investigated since 2021, yet no one has brought forth enough evidence for charges, just some venmo payments, mostly to his shady friend from "unnamed sources"?

4 years investigated and nothing? Yawn. Maybe something tangible comes today, but as far as convincing criminal activity that is pretty light. If something tangible comes out I will change my tone completely.

 

[drayer54]

On the flip side- He’s. It half as radical as Eric Holder. I mean…

 

[NDVirginia19]

I think FBI probe (which many believe was completely dubious and they may be right) aside, he is still not a serious person to run the DOJ. As others have said in this thread, Gaetz is what the corrupt DOJ deserves, but not what the American people deserve.

Ironically, he’s dressed head-to-toe in Thom Browne, 1988 alum.

 

[TorontoGold]

Everything he does is perfect!!!! I mean you can still support someone and ~~disagree~~ with some of his cabinet picks. It's wild that you see the elder folk on here bend over backwards to defend anything and the younger people (yourself) can rationally say things are objectively bad.

Like I don't think you're instantly a progressive because you don't think Matt Gaetz is a bad pick for AG lol. So many are worried of losing their GOP card if they disagree.

He's questionable at best.

Interesting endorsement...

I'll admit it's going to be pretty funny seeing the Democrat Caucus rush to defend big pharma
