must be a good pick since the Dems and rhinos are freaking out…as Obama and the voters say, elections have consequences. Whoever gets the job will be 1000 % better than the clown they will be taking over for.
Gaetz: AG
- Thread starter BlessedDawg
- Start date
Do you mean like the FBI arresting pro-lifers for singing songs or raiding the CEO of Polymarket because it predicted Trump would win? Or maybe how the secret service allows assassins to walk around rallies with range finders. You guys are so blind to what’s happening. It’s all about Trump
I don’t know anything about Tulsi but Gaetz is a fuggin joke. Is he even a lawyer? He’s certainly not a prosecutor.
There is a chance thr Hegseth guy could work out okay but he only looks solid because the other nominees are insanely weak.
Also, you can tell that all these nominees have absolutely no honor. If somebody asked you to do a job and you were completely on qualified for that job and could put the nation at risk, you need to decline that job. There are plenty of conservative generals and conservative admirals who would do a great job.
All of Trump's cabinet picks will be affirmed. The people have spoken and our congressional leaders will realize that their personal viewpoints take a back seat to the Trump mandate and that their decisions must reflect the will of the people.
Bloated Federal bureaucracies have been abusing their power far too long. Some have badges, guns, bullets, and subpoenas and they use those against American citizens based solely on political differences. This is unacceptable and must be stopped. The fact that people are scratching their heads regarding Matt Gaetz and the rest of Trump's picks doubles down on the belief that Trump and his advisors around him are doing an already magnificent job, and Trump hasn't even taken the oath of office yet.
Henceforth the new mission statement for Trump's Presidency and his plans to drain the swamp and reclaim our country's institutions shall be, "Throw the bums out" and the DOJ is the best place to start.
Democrats wanted Democracy and that's what they are getting.

Congratulations on your consolation trophy. ...put your loss on your mantle and stare at it daily....and dream what could have been in Kamalot...
I'd say he wants to break them down and rebuild them in a manner that follows the constitution. The the biased lawfare exhibited the last 4 years really what you want? Government workers in DC and big cities are overwhelmingly Democrat. It's time to get out the broom.
Don't forget the constant lawfare toward Trump from all sides.....which will forever be a stain on our rule of law
I just hope Gaetz is qualified enough to find and go after the moles Odumbo and the other Dems have hidden in the justice department. That’s the only thing I was worried about.
This is the funny part. DeSantis can appoint him as the senator replacing Rubio. So, the Senate can choose which is the worst of the 2 evils.
I knew the Dems had no depth on their bench but it’s apparently worse than I thought.
Gaetz will do a magnificent job. He's tenacious, smart, plus most importantly he's a Patriot. Mike Davis and Mark Paoletta were 2 guys I heard being mentioned as a couple of the front runners and I would have been happy if either had gotten the nod but Gaetz will be an extraordinary litmus test for Senate leadership and their willingness to follow Trump's agenda and place their personal preferences aside for the good of their country. There may be some fireworks during the Gaetz confirmation process but the masks will come off and we will see who truly supports President Trump's America First/Nationalist Populist movement.
What I like about Matt is that he twisted Kevin McCarthy's ear so violently that McCarthy is still squealing to this very day. Masterful job from Matt Gaetz, not only kicking McCarthy out of his speakership spot but shaming him such that he could do nothing else than tuck his tail and limp out of Congress. I doubt he'll ever run for elected office again. What a wimp...
Gaetz is EXACTLY what we need to pinpoint the rot that has settled into the DOJ. We don't need a "business as usual" AG who's afraid to roll up his sleeves and flip over a few tables and chairs, metaphorically speaking of course.
Trump's Cabinet will be filled with change agents very similar to Gaetz and I expect heads will continue to explode during the coming weeks leading up to the confirmation processes and each of these nominations will be affirmed.
It's a great day for America.

Gaetz is a buffoon on every level. Trump has to know this and has to know he has no shot at getting confirmed.
Obviously Hegeseth lacks experience. He happens to be extremely bright and is of course a very good communicator and could be someone who could excel at this job, but is someone with so little experience worth taking a gamble on in his position?
You just wait until the Treasury Secretary nomination is George Santos
Gaetz will be confirmed.
Every Republican senator has family, friends, donors, or constituents who want jobs in the new administration. As those jobs are handed out it's not the best time to be crossing swords with Trump who just won such a landslide victory.
This isn't a fight between Republicans vs Democrats, it's a fight between Nationalist Populists vs the Globalist Elites.
What we will be witnessing with this new administration is a form of "creative destruction" in which the Nationalist Populists take this country back by eliminating the woke and weaponization of today's Leviathan Esque federal bureaucracy that has used it's power to mercilesssly punish honest and hard working citizens whose only crimes have been loving their country and honoring the sacrifices of that Revolutionary War generation that stepped up and stepped out in the early days of the Founding of our na
tion.
What's wrong with Hegseth? He spent 20 years in the military......Seems like he would be a great pick.
Collins and Murkowski are already not going to confirm him.
He will likely drop out before the confirmation hearings, so I think it is completely moot. But it is a very very very dumb choice
Trump knows about Collins and Murkowski; the whole world knows about those 2 and their hatred for Grassroots Americans and their cognitive dissonance in regards to the key issues that working/middle class citizens face everyday.
Trump has had plenty of time to plan and anticipate all contingencies. It will take much, much more than the actions of those 2 Independent Socialists voting with Democrats to derail any of Trump's appointments.
Merrick Garland sent in a SWAT Team to raid Melania's underwear drawer. Never forget that because Trump certainly hasn't and he is sending a clear message that he's deconstructing the administrative state and nothing and no one, including Collins and Murkowski, will stop him.

He's not a career politician or anybodys Lapdog....
The House of Reps, with a R majority, accomplished almost nothing. A significant part of the blame lies with Gaetz.
With all due respect, that sounds totally nuts.
What you meant to say is that Gaetz was busy doing much of the heavy lifting, at the behest of Donald Trump no less, in pinpointing one key major component for that body's failure, which was feckless, spineless, and conflicted Republicans serving as nothing more than controlled opposition for the globalist interests who control the Democrat Party.
Those actions were just prologue to what's coming and in essence what has already started. You haven't seen anything yet.
It’s always fascinating to see people who believe what politicians tell them. And also you believe Donald Trump no less. Wow.
This is the funny part. DeSantis can appoint him as the senator replacing Rubio. So, the Senate can choose which is the worst of the 2 evils.
Alright folks - as someone who actually worked for a member of the US Congress, let me give you a little reality check on how this works:
Point 1: Gaetz has resigned which means the ethics investigation into him is officially dead. The House Ethics Committee has no jurisdiction on former members of the House. Now, they could still choose to release the report publicly, but that has only happened once or twice in the history of the House, regardless of party. It goes against precedent. Now, the Senate could absolutely subpoena it, but frankly I'm expecting someone to leak it (and don't be surprised when it's leaked by a member of the GOP).
Point 2: This is correct - they can only lose three votes as a 50-50 tie in the Senate loses. On Gaetz, and probably the DoD nominee, RFK, and Gabbard, I would be shocked if Collins and Murkowski aren't a no right out of the gate, so let's not even count those two. They can only afford to lose ONE senator on the most controversial nominees. There are enough very traditional GOP senators (Mike Rounds, Chuck Grassley, etc.) that it's very possible a number of these are DOA. The last time the Senate outright rejected a nominee was Bush Sr. in 1989, but every President since Clinton has had to withdraw at least one initial cabinet nominee. I expect that some of these may even be planned to be withdrawn so Trump can say "well I tried but the swamp said no."
Point 3: Gaetz is not going to get nominated for Rubio's seat. Rubio will be one of the first, if not the first person confirmed. He will probably get confirmed 98-1 or 96-3 or some other extremely high margin, because he is respected across the Senate for his foreign policy acumen. Gaetz on the other hand will probably be one of the later full-cabinet secretaries confirmed, and they'll need to fill Rubio's seat ASAP otherwise they can only afford to lose 2 senators (see Collins and Murkowski again) before a nominee fails. I expect that DeSantis will either apppoint his Chief of Staff as a reward for the work he has done for him or the Lt. Gov. of Florida.
Free Point, because I like the Vent - had Rick Scott gotten the nod as GOP Majority Leader, there would be a lot of strong-arming to make these nominees get pushed through. With Thune at the helm, you will see a much more traditional Senate in the vein of how McConnell operated because Thune is a traditionalist when it comes to the arcane rules of the Senate. You'll notice Scott lost on the first ballot - when Senators can vote for who they want anonymously without fear of Trump finding out who didn't support his candidate, they almost always lose. The majority of the conference wanted someone who could check Trump if needed, not rubber stamp his agenda (because if they wanted that they would have elected Scott as Majority Leader - instead they put him back in as NRSC chairman where he can't really cause a lot of damage in leadership). Newsflash - most GOP senators really don't care for Trump, but they really like the fact that he got them the White House, and a Republican House and Senate. They'll play along but with Thune in charge they're not just gonna give him Carte Blanche.

I thought Thune was Senate Majority Leader.
You are correct - got them mixed up. Will go back and edit, but the sentiment is the same. They're both longtime traditionalist.
Thune says he will work with Trump but we will have to see how it goes.
Work with and rubber stamp are two very different things. Exercising the "advise and consent" powers is working with Trump, but it doesn't mean that they have to just give the house away. Thune could always say "well I allowed the nominee to proceed to the floor and the members said no." As Majority Leader in the Senate he has almost absolute control over the floor calendar and outside of some very rare circumstances, pretty much decides what gets a vote and what doesn't. If he wanted he could easily pigeonhole some of these nominees, but he won't. He'll let them fail on their own if they fail.
He said it depends on if the Dems try to block the nominations. He said he would just wait and see. This was when he was asked about call for a Senate recess to get nominees approved.
He's never led or run an organization is his life, much less one as sprawling as the DOD. Rising to the rank of major and serving as a media talking head are not relevant qualifications.
If you didn’t vote for Trump you have no right to complain about who he picks!
I thought we hated the liberal elites from Harvard. Now it’s a selling point?
While I’m a proud graduate of UGA, I do know several people who graduated from Harvard. None of them are qualified to run the DOD.
Understood. Considering that some may reside on a higher plane in terms of information, intelligence, and understanding of the key issues , your response doesn't surprise me.
My advice is that you seek knowledge and further understanding of who controls the levers of power in our society and what they are willing to do to maintain their control. These are people who work 24/7/365 to do nothing but advance their own interests and they don't care if It's at the cost of your safety, security, and sovereignty.

You have admit that you are in the minority and you don’t have any say so in this matter. Elections have consequences or something like that!
What I believe in is the landslide victory of Donald Trump over a criminal regime of an administration that lied, jack booted, and swindled its way through 4 years of pillaging the proverbial village and pretending that it's business usual while you have no seat at the table in terms of shaping your future.
Cost of basic essentials under Biden-Harris:
January 20, 2021 - Present
Overall + 19.9%
All food + 22.3%
All shelter + 23%
All energy + 29.4%
Harris raised $1 Billion in campaign contributions and she couldn't even win one swing state. Also, you might be interested in knowing that 500 million of that billion raised was spent on her campaign staff.
Whereas Donald Trump raised a fraction of Harris, at approximately $384 million and Trump spent $10 million to compensate his campaign staff..
The citizens were given a choice, either accept the brand of Democracy being peddled by Obama/Biden/Harris/Tim "Jazz Hands" Walz that promises runway deficit spending, riots/looting, mass media cover ups, and city streets and suburban neighborhoods being transformed into migrant camps...
Or accept the version of Democracy offered by Donald Trump, focusing on kitchen table issues, like lowering energy costs and advancing.policies that support and edify the core principles of the Judeo Christian West, which are the building blocks upon which our Constitutional Republic was built.
I know which version of Democracy I prefer; I'll take Trump's version. What say you?
