Are you guys still this thick? Trump picked Gaetz because the first time he was elected his own FBI and DOJ investigated him, and then after he left office Biden's DOJ investigated him, and he wants to stick it to the "deep state" and get a loyalist inside a department that has "wronged him" for eight years.
This isn't complicated. That's his view. He is throwing the grenade in to see what happens. This is how he governs, for better or worse.
Do I think Gaetz gets through? I have no idea. Probably not. But Trump is DEFINITELY going to try. He is not tee'ing Gaetz up to get thrown out and he's not just going to fold the nomination because freaking Susan Collins feigns upset. I can't believe we are still doing this, genuinely. It would be an incredible coup for him to have someone like Gaetz leading the DOJ. He's going for it.
This isn't a ploy. It's not chess. He's showing you his move and saying "bring it." He's testing the boundaries. They will appoint him if they can. Same with Tulsi and Hegseth."
And you'd be fine with that, no matter who the president was?Recess appointments incoming.
He will be confirmed as a recess appointment as payback for the lawfare against Trump. DOJ needs to be thoroughly cleaned. Democrats had their turn and now Maga gets their turn. Can the DOJ get any worse? They raided a former Presidents home and sniffed Melania's underwear. I Think Gaetz will do just fine.I am 100% glad trump is potus. No question in my mind he was the better option. However, Gaetz is a terrible appointment. There is a reason almost no one has come out with enthusiastic support for him and why even some trump supporting senators have been less than enthusiastic when asked about confirmation.
I would love for this to be a slight of hand where trump is sending him out to be a sacrificial lamb to get others through, but I just don't see that being the case since he resigned from congress. I guess trump could be holding a lesser appointment for him, but that doesn't play to well for Gaetz take a lesser appointment after not being confirmed for AG.
No, but Democrats stomped on the norms with their admin so I am ok with it.And

None of this contradicts he is a terrible, unqualified appointment.He will be confirmed as a recess appointment as payback for the lawfare against Trump. DOJ needs to be thoroughly cleaned.

The knife cuts both ways. No crying libs.
This is all just a game to you isn't it?No, but Democrats stomped on the norms with their admin so I am ok with it.
Should have thought through the lawfare before commencing.
BingoThis is all just a game to you isn't it?
Love hearing all you libs losing your minds.What a joke of an administration. You guys wanted a king and you are getting it.
Not losing my mind at all. Just laugh at how stupid you are.Love hearing all you libs losing your minds.
I think I’ll give him a chance before rendering judgement.None of this contradicts he is a terrible, unqualified appointment.
The DOJ being terrible and needing an enema has zero bearing on if he is qualified. All of those things could be accomplished, likely more easily, without an absolutely terrible and unqualified person as AG. It's a joke.
Defending everything trump does just because he did it is asinine and destroys credibility. Trump makes mistakes just like everyone else. This is one of them.
A game to make the country the best it can possibly be. Yes.This is all just a game to you isn't it?
You'll be losing your mind and your hubris when he succeeds on destroying this country from within. But enjoy the afterglow from owning the libs.Love hearing all you libs losing your minds.
You can't accomplish that with Matt Gaetz as the Attorney General and a whackadoodle conspiracy theorist heading up the HHS.A game to make the country the best it can possibly be. Yes.
