too fast? not handled right? news reporting more damning information was coming out and Trump team knew he was pulling out...let us wait...I dont trust legacy media...but this is a hot mess
Well, I was wrong. Trump has nominated Pam Bondi, his lead legal counsel on the America First Policy Institute. She had been AG of Florida for 8 years, and is immensely qualified.
It looks like Trump WAS making a chess move with Gaetz. It smoked out the RINO Senators who are not MAGA, and it made a lot of the DC denizens start panicking.
Now we will soon fond out who his pick for FBI will be. I am speculating on Kash Patel.
And the speculation about Gaetz taking Rubio's Senate seat - that's out also, DeSantis says he will not be nominating Gaetz to fill that seat. But Gaetz only resigned from the 118th Congress. He was re-elected for the 119th, so he may be sworn in again in the House, from what I understand.
Give it up, Dr. Paul. Gaetz is a totally unstable guy. We didn't want him as AG, and we don't want him in the Senate either. He needs to get out of politics and grow up.
Gaetz is the best candidate for AG. But if he declines it, then it is for some other reason, and other position. Perhaps Kash Patel is the one for AG now.
I disagree. He already caved by not seeing the nomination through. Also, he called to have McCarthy removed, but didn’t have any plan. He had no other lined up to be nominated to replace McCarthy. Gaetz is impulsive and very immature. He like the theater. He talks a lot, and puts on a lot of theater in the hearings he’s in, but never actually does anything.
Let’s make one thing CLEAR and UNDERSTANDABLE to EVERYONE.
-The Senate is not interested in supporting MAGA, America First agenda, nor American citizens. The Senate UniParty has identified itself as the protector of the Deep State and sworn its allegiance to the Never-Trump faction. The war has begun, and every current Republican Senator will be primaried in 2026, 2028, 2030, 2032 until compliance with the people’s agenda is achieved, the DeepState is dismantled, and single-term limits become law.
388 known traitors identified themselves on January 6th 2021 by their NAY votes that could have spared Americans 4 fucking years of traitor joe and the absent ho. Visit www.Congress.gov to see if your local rep voted NAY to a 10 day pause over 2020 election fraud reports that no judge has the BALLS to hear evidence. If you voted for traitor joe and the Ho, FUCK YOU. EVERY SINGLE ONE OF YOU. #DefundTyranny #FreedomIsNotFree
After raising 9 children as an American Manufacturer through 24 years of so called Free Trade implemented by the same traitors unless dead by now, that has destroyed the very fabric of The USA, I want heads in baskets. #EndAPECnow #LevelTheCCP #EndUSMCAnow #CrushTheCartels
Don't forget abolishing the FEDERAL RESERVE. That is the tap root of the evil cabal who raised its ugly head and took of it's mask by poisoning billions of people on plant earth.
ha ...always want justice...we want real proper justice with real proper AG justice department, proper courts, unbiased and let our judges and juries rule
Except who is going to primary the rats? The Republicant party? I don't think so! And even if they were to go along with faux primary challengers the Republicant party won't provide money to the side challenging the rats. And for the icing on the cake, it doesn't matter if there are term limits. The same process by which the rats switch themselves in and out will continue albeit at a quicker pace.
This part will sound crazy but I can't see any other way out.
The only way this changes is if WWIII goes kinetic really kinetic and "we" lose and put current government run by a criminal enterprise is removed lock, stock and barrel to be replaced by real us patriots, much like was done in Japan with McArthur being placed in control of that country but leaving the emperor on place.
Nope. I don't believe any of this for a minute. Let's look at what has happened in the past week or so. First Gaetz resigned from Congress way too soon. Trump was working with senators individually to get all his nominees passed. Gaetz pulls out now, after the latest investigation shows that the allegations that he was involved with an underaged women have been proven false (see this from Cliff Kinkaid https://newswithviews.com/why-the-deep-state-is-afraid-of-matt-gaetz/). I say that this was all planned by Trump. Not sure why yet, but my money says this will turn out to be another brilliant move. Wait and see.
Finally someone who sees this in a positive light!! Marjorie Taylor Greene said she wanted all the Ethics Reports released including the one she filed against someone (not sure who). What a great way to force all of those out into the light!!! Trump might have make some mistakes (although I still don't think so) in his first admin, but this one is pure, calculated, and highly engineered for success. I love Matt Gaetz but I will also say I will never put anyone on a pedestal again knowing Trump's proclivity for exposing people by putting them in the spotlight. I hope he puts him in as a Senator and puts Kash in the AG spot. That would be beyond amazing!!
Thanks. I do think he made many "errors in judgement" in his first term, largely (solely?) because there was no one he could trust. Think Pence, Jeff Sessions to name just two. However, now he is much more "seasoned" about the scum who populate the DC swamp. He still has problems with leakers (my money is on Jared Kirschner but I really have no idea). Now, your idea of Kash Patel as AG is awesome, that or FBI director. Honestly, I think I'd rather see him as FBI director. There are more great people to choose from for AG. Personally, I kinda like Larry Klayman for that job!
Here we go with the old Republican dog and pony show, spit in the eye, and a knife in the back. Remember to keep your expectations low you’ll never be surprised 🔪🔪🔪
I heard on Bongino that he can send a letter to a particular person in the House to fulfill his seat in the next Congress (2025) but he is out for now.
I think there must have been something he didn't want to come out in that Congressional ethics investigation of him. Quitting his seat stopped the release of the Congressional ethics report. It doesn't necessarily mean that he did anything wrong. It might just be trumped up accusations so sensational that would take too much time and energy to refute.
We need him in Congress or in the new administration. This is a great loss.
I'm a huge supporter of Gaetz. He's a true and courageous patriot and Trump supporter.
That said, here's a possible interpretation:
• Gaetz knew he was being backed into a corner by the House "Ethics" Committee. (Recall the DC smear tactics against Justice Kavanaugh.) Even though he had been cleared of the sex crime in question by the Merrick Garland DOJ.
• The AG nomination gave him an exit plan to resign from Congress, avoiding an (almost certain?) expulsion or worse on false accusations.
• Is it possible the AG nomination gave him cover to resign? That the transition team knew they'd never get his nomination through the Senate? And they may be saving Gaetz for another role not subject to Senate approval?
Kathleen - Exactly, all those are valid points. Gaetz was a victim of a wrap up smear, and was not guilty. The Dems don't care about that, because they are lawless. This also exposed the RINOs who took sides with the false narrative against Gaetz. He may be taking Rubio's Senate seat, shall see,
I think Occam's Razor applies here, that the simplest explanation is probably the right one. There was something, true or not, he didn't want to come out. I don't see it as a complicated savvy maneuver of any kind. Trump sometimes does shoot from the hip, so maybe he jumped to nominate Gaetz without looking into the potential ethics violation or something that gave that appearance--which might be just as difficult to fight.
Gaetz is very smart and I suspect he always thinks several moves ahead.
Gaetz is very impulsive. He does radical things without thinking them through. We don't want that in our government. He needs to stay in a private life and grow up some.
It is a possible chess move by Trump. If Gaetz does not retain his House seat, he may take Rubio's Senate seat. Whatever happens, I do believe it is all part of the plan. Perhaps Gaetz is needed elsewhere, or back in the House after exposing all the RINO traitors.
hmmmm. I don't think anything he does is a mistake. I have learned that over the last 8 years, he puts people in the spotlight for a reason...I love Matt Gaetz and hope this isn't because of anything he has done wrong but rather a calculated, preplanned move. Unfortunately, the only way we are going to find out is to see how it plays out like everyone else!!
will be glad to see a follow up nomination fast that is able to do MAGA and Trump has full trust to enact his agenda and help clean house in Justice and put the
If Trump actually vetted people, and if he was actually in charge, nothing like this would be happening. What I'm seeing so far is just as bad of a train wreck as his first term was. Trump just can't be trusted. That's why I didn't vote for him.
What if his controversy over the Ethics investigation will cause all Ethics reports to be released like Marjorie Taylor Greene called for....also what if he gets appointed to the senate in Rubio's seat? Both of those things could be FIRE for MAGA, especially if we can find out what is in those other reports. She said she even filed one herself, wonder what that was about?
Good to hear. I have had the book for a long time but haven't read it yet. I vow to begin it once I finish the book I'm reading now, the latest from Richard Poe.
would DeSantis name him senator in Florida? Rubio seat?
That would be an interesting move, trading a House seat for a Senate seat. Trump does play 5-D chess.
yes
Well, I was wrong. Trump has nominated Pam Bondi, his lead legal counsel on the America First Policy Institute. She had been AG of Florida for 8 years, and is immensely qualified.

Patel good for FBI...I like the Bondi move, she is tough, smart
Give it up, Dr. Paul. Gaetz is a totally unstable guy. We didn't want him as AG, and we don't want him in the Senate either. He needs to get out of politics and grow up.
Gaetz is the best candidate for AG. But if he declines it, then it is for some other reason, and other position. Perhaps Kash Patel is the one for AG now.
Kash is great...
Agreed!
Yes to Kash Patel ! He would have been my 1st choice.
Speak for yourself!! Gratz would have been the BULLDOG WE NEEDED… I’m glad he was able to understand the urgency to find the cobras in the RINO CAMP!!
I disagree. He already caved by not seeing the nomination through. Also, he called to have McCarthy removed, but didn’t have any plan. He had no other lined up to be nominated to replace McCarthy.

You are right on the money. The DC Swamp is pro-globalist.
yes

You give Trump too much credit. All he's good at is causing chaos.
If Gaetz is going to roll over that easy under pressure, he is too weak to be AG, and quite frankly too weak for the MAGA movement.
I think there is something more calculated going on, but only time will tell!!
yes
hhhmmm
Agreed
That's what I thought. I thought he was tougher.
Here we go with the old Republican dog and pony show, spit in the eye, and a knife in the back. Remember to keep your expectations low you’ll never be surprised 🔪🔪🔪
kaboom
Abso-f-ing-lutely!
Or disappointed.
Who will be next on the chopping block 🪓🪓🪓
asking a good question
I really wished he didn't withdrawal. I was looking forward to this appointment. Will he be able to retract his resignation?
I dont know....it is troubling
I doubt it.
same
He also resigned from his seat! What will happen now?
this bothers me as he resigned from his seat....
I heard on Bongino that he can send a letter to a particular person in the House to fulfill his seat in the next Congress (2025) but he is out for now.
yes
Why should it bother you? Gaetz made his own decisions. He's very immature. He needs to grow up. We don't need him in our government.
My first thought when he quit his rep seat before being confirmed was, how stupid...
same

But I really don't want to lose him.
Are you kidding me? Gaetz NEVER thinks ahead. He's totally impulsive, which is what makes him so dangerous, and a bad candidate for AG.

Unless he made his money and wanted out...
hhhmmm
he is monied though
hmmmm. I don't think anything he does is a mistake.

Unfortunately, the only way we are going to find out is to see how it plays out like everyone else!!
Agree.
there are several things went wrong
a)did not vet properly or accurately to ensure had all knowledge b)knew may have known but decided to overlook it c)handled the communications wrong
will be glad to see a follow up nomination fast that is able to do MAGA and Trump has full trust to enact his agenda and help clean house in Justice and put the
blindfolds back on madame justice
Matt Whitaker would have been great but Trump already appointed him Ambassador to NATO. Wonder if they can do a switcheroo?
If Trump actually vetted people, and if he was actually in charge, nothing like this would be happening. What I'm seeing so far is just as bad of a train wreck as his first term was. Trump just can't be trusted. That's why I didn't vote for him.
Kash Patel for AG
Pam Bondi was chosen. I'd love to see Patel for FBI.
Senate slot?
no GA as he pulled out, he pulled out of congress...you mean
run for senate?
He can be appointed by De Santis as interim Senator, then run in '26. I'd prefer him, as Lara Trump is doing great where she is at the RNC.
great points
Also, since he won his re-election to the House, he can still be seated there in Jan.
Rubio's seat thought to be the fallback.
may be a good move
DeSantis could appoint him to finish Rubio’s term in Senate
Sad. I was hoping we'd get _real_ change and full exposure of the FBI/DOJ crimes against America this time.
What if his controversy over the Ethics investigation will cause all Ethics reports to be released like Marjorie Taylor Greene called for....also what if he gets appointed to the senate in Rubio's seat? Both of those things could be FIRE for MAGA, especially if we can find out what is in those other reports. She said she even filed one herself, wonder what that was about?
Ken Paxton for Attorney General, Kash Patel for FBI, Gaetz for Rubio's seat.
One, you kinda felt it was too good to be true.
Or, two, the "One Nation under Blackmail" (Whitney Webb's book) playbook kicked into high gear;
or, three, there is some merit to the allegations of Gaetz' wrong-doing.
"A distraction"? Since when have "distractions" bothered politicians?
There's something going on, and methinks it ain't good.
same, sinister....
Excellent book - I’m getting ready to begin part 2.
Good to hear. I have had the book for a long time but haven't read it yet. I vow to begin it once I finish the book I'm reading now, the latest from Richard Poe.
AIPAC does not want him.
You and are apparently the only ones who see this?
Trump went from maga to miga.
