In the matter of sexual exploits of celebrities with underage girls (and boys), how many have been brought to trial, let alone convicted? Some few, and usually Black. For celebrities and rich elitists, these sexual crimes and their punishment is largely a temporary embarrassment during the scandal of ptrss releases.
"Convince lawmakers that he has the temperament for the top law enforcement job in the nation." Per Trump, he does and that is all that will matter.
"But we need to have a complete vetting of the nominees. Not only so we know that the nominee is qualified, but also to protect the president. I’m sure it’s not in his best interest to have any surprises.” Cornyn, Trump knows all of this, so he is not the one getting surprised. That you are surprised is what you should be thinking about.
“The Republicans own everything,” Sen. Mazie Hirono. Thank you, Rep. Hirono.
Gaetz's sexual misconduct compared to Trump's is like a three page short story compared to War and Peace. Because Trump skated through his porn profile without any drag, Gaetz should weather his porn storm easily enough, even if it was with a kid. Current headlines are rife with celebrities caught with girl childs. Far more germaine is Gaetz's credibility in the optics of such a position--one of great moral magnitude with expectations of mature soundness, staid professionalism and clear credibility of character. Gaerz is a spoiled, emotionally adolescent, strutting elitist who could care less about respect for the law.
Everyone needs to get on the horn to their Senators and make sure they know that we expect a hard no on this guy. And am inflexible rigid no on recess confirmations. I'll post links to the forms if nobody will be offended. I sent off two email letters this Thursday and will be making calls to my Senators tomorrow. We need to make the congress feel empowered with a strong showing. These people need to know we're watching and we're backing them up.
one of my senators is already throwing up. The other will send me a nice little form letter, written by a staffer, telling me that he takes my concerns very seriously - and he will then kiss the ring.
Will he suck up and kiss ass with GOP senators right now? Absolutely.
Will he be able to avoid looking like a smarmy, creepy freak when he has to go in front of Democratic senators and answer adversarial lines of questioning on TV? I very much so doubt it.
Mr. Gaetz excels at bullying people within his own party, but I don't think those are the skills he really needs right now.
That aside, you can only imagine how appalled the Founders would be to hear Senators stating that they view their role as rubber-stamping all of the President's nominees without question.
You did this better than I was going to. Two tangential items I would add is that Vance wants women to stay in abusive relationships and RonJon says take care of your own damn kids and leave society out of it. Lots of misogyny, exploitation, and repression in the GOP. So, yes, Gaetz is a choice pick.
Goetz apparently got the nod by telling Trump that he would " be ripping fckuing heads". They make good bedfellows, two sociopathic sadists. Matt's ego will prove to be way bigger than his skill set. Like Trump, they both talk a big game but have no understanding of the obstacles they will be unable to surmount as they foolishly waste their time seeking retribution. Trump my be lawless but our country is not.
As Bill Maher said about Matt Gaetz: His favorite dating app is Venmo.
We got Gaetz, RFK Jr., Tulsi let’s keep it going. Maybe we can bring back Madison Cawthorn to be the White House event planner. Or Louis Gohmert to be the Secretary of Education. Or Mike Lindell to run the CIA. I’m sure Trump is saving Judge Jeanine and Roy Moore as his replacements for Thomas & Alito.
Warren Jeffs is still in jail, and I’m sure he would love a pardon. Maybe Trump can put him in charge of the FBI, so Jeffs can punish everyone who pursues cult leaders…I mean, persecuted sincere religious martyrs. Jeffs hates dogs as much as Trump does, and I’m sure Gaetz and Trump and Jeffs can have a great time together.
GAETZ: So you really can have a harem of eighty six underage girls?
JEFFS: Sure! All you have to do is say you’re the Prophet, and they’ll be happy to do what you say. You just have to marry them first.
TRUMP: And everybody will do everything you say?
JEFFS: Right! Tell them that God told you to ban TV, internet, newspapers, books, movies, plays, everything except radio. And ban all music except recordings of you singing songs you’ve composed. They’ll believe everything after that.
TRUMP: What about money?
JEFFS: They’ll sign over their houses and businesses over to you, pay their salaries to you…heck, I bankrupted their school district to buy myself an airplane, and nobody said a word. Once you’ve got all the money, you can run off to Disneyworld and Las Vegas strip clubs and party 24/7… then FBI caught up with me.
TRUMP: Yeah, the FBI is going to go through some things. I gotta get in on this action, Warren!

When is Murkowski going to switch parties?

Like Dear Leader Trump, Gaetz has the looking like a cartoon villain thing down!
So.
Trump is an adjudicated sexual assaulter that cheats a with porno stars.
The HHS boss RFK Jr gets on with journos.
The AG Gaetz chases high schoolers.
The SoD chases and knocks up interns.
The DHS heads gets jiggy with Lewandoski.
And I missing anybody?
That's a lot of libido for a single cabinet, they make Slick Willy Clinton look like the Dalai Lama.

Well said. Watch them run into 200+ yrs of American civil servant culture. I hope this breaks them all
As if the Marx brothers had been elected president. I say bring on the lurid details. That's where the Devil is hiding.
"Trump has made a slew of controversial picks"
Sure, let's call them controversial.
Flimsy Lindsey showing his usual spinal fortitude.
