We cannot get rid of this guy soon enough!!

Never forget that a lot of Senate Republicans wanted this absolute establishment boob to be Senate Leader

[Thune, the current whip, won 29 votes on the second round of voting against the former Whip Sen. John Cornyn, who received 24 votes. Sen. Rick Scott was eliminated after the first round after receiving the least votes. ]

There is still so much work to be done in reforming the GOP



Senators, including Cornyn, have an obligation to thoroughly vet ALL nominees for executive appointments, including Gaetz.

Leaving aside Gaetz (your personally hobby horse that you are obsessed with)

There are lot of other reasons to not like Cornyn and consider him a very bad representative of Texas Conservativism in the Senate.

(seriously do you dream about Gaetz at night?)
I'm surprised you are so compliant when it comes to Gaetz

Because I don't personally care about some Rep. from Florida

And I am inclined to give the Presidential winner of the popular vote and electoral vote the benefit of the doubt when he wishes to have a person take a role in his administration

You seem to think DC should move to block him and are really concerned about it
I'm not concerned about a Rep who resigned under a cloud of serious accusations. I'm concerned about the attorney general of the USA.

As a general proposition, the president should be given great latitude in whom he wishes to appoint. I've said nothing critical about any of Trump's appointments, other than Gaetz. I'm sure he wants the opportunity to clear his name. You sure are docile and trusting when it comes to executive appointments. A startling lack of curiosity

The nonpartisan group is calling on the Senate to withhold confirmation hearings for Gaetz "until a full and transparent investigation is conducted into his possible role in the exploitation of young women and girls at the 'sex parties' he has admitted to attending."

"These parties reportedly included young women, some allegedly minors, who were paid to participate in sex acts," the letter reads. "It is further alleged that Mr. Gaetz did not merely attend these events but actively participated. Evidence suggests he sent payments through Venmo and Cash App to an associate, who then transferred funds to the women, labeling payments as 'tuition.'"
We currently have the most compromised attorney general in history that has weaponized the FBI and DOJ against the political enemies of his political party and you are worried about the possibility Gaetz was at a sex party. It is really insane.
Aren't you curious why Gaetz was the most disliked member of the HOR?

Interesting that Congress is a universally despised institution to the public

So lets take the approval of these political creatures with a huge grain of salt.

Gaetz was the most despised member of a body with 13% approval rating. I'm looking forward to the hearing in front of a friendly committee.

So a universally hated group of politicians (that you seem to like for some strange reason) hated him

Cool

That tells us nothing more than they are all pretty horrid people in DC

The more you freak out about this guy the more I am inclined to give him a chance.

Maybe blow and babes is what it takes to get good things done at the DOJ... lol
Blow and sex parties with minors. Quite the recommendation

Eric Holder and Merrik Garland look like the kind of creepy guys who know about sex with minors

(Just not girls)


It takes real dedication to be such a good fighter for the tribe. I can't believe I thought you were a libertarian. You are gunning for a tribal chieftanship!

I can't believe I thought you were a libertarian..


Yea I can't either

Probably because you don't spend the time to actually read peoples posts or think for a few seconds before you start spouting off your response.

I have never claimed to be a libertarian (though I can respect some of their positions)

It's not

Now it's a different thing to spend tons of posts on the same person

When having been a constant Trump opponent and nay sayer

And pretending like anyone who disagrees wants to "burn it all down"

I personally have no strong feelings about this Florida guy as AG (and I doubt it happens)

You could just stop there

Let the President have his pick (he just won a mandate election to the Executive Office)

If this rep. for Florida is to out of line then the Senate Republicans will pull out on nomination and it will die

But this hyperventilating about a sitting US Congressman from Florida becoming AG is wild.


He's not a "sitting U.S. Congressman." He resigned his seat, probably because his resignation puts an end to the investigation.

We cannot get rid of this guy soon enough!!

Never forget that a lot of Senate Republicans wanted this absolute establishment boob to be Senate Leader

[Thune, the current whip, won 29 votes on the second round of voting against the former Whip Sen. John Cornyn, who received 24 votes. Sen. Rick Scott was eliminated after the first round after receiving the least votes. ]

There is still so much work to be done in reforming the GOP



Senators, including Cornyn, have an obligation to thoroughly vet ALL nominees for executive appointments, including Gaetz.
There have been some serious allegitns against Gaetz. He should have a chance to answer the charges in a public hearing.

The nonpartisan group is calling on the Senate to withhold confirmation hearings for Gaetz "until a full and transparent investigation is conducted into his possible role in the exploitation of young women and girls at the 'sex parties' he has admitted to attending."

"These parties reportedly included young women, some allegedly minors, who were paid to participate in sex acts," the letter reads. "It is further alleged that Mr. Gaetz did not merely attend these events but actively participated. Evidence suggests he sent payments through Venmo and Cash App to an associate, who then transferred funds to the women, labeling payments as 'tuition.'"

"Some on Mr. Gaetz's team argued that the prostitution fell outside U.S. jurisdiction because it took place on yachts in international waters, an excuse that does not stand up to moral, and perhaps, legal scrutiny," NCOSE adds.
Sealed testimony from three witnesses in the sex scandal case involving Joel Greenberg, a Gaetz ally and local Florida official, placed Gaetz at a "sex party" in 2017 that included illegal drugs and a nude underaged girl, according to reporting from NOTUS. Gaetz's team has dismissed the allegations.

"Congressman Gaetz has never participated in the activities reflected in the NOTUS reporting. If people said otherwise, they are either confused or lying.

The investigation has already been done, by a highly politicized DOJ willing to raid the home of a former POTUS and candidate for POTUS, and they determined they did not have a prosecutable case.

Leaving aside Gaetz (your personally hobby horse that you are obsessed with)

There are lot of other reasons to not like Cornyn and consider him a very bad representative of Texas Conservativism in the Senate.

(seriously do you dream about Gaetz at night?)
I'm surprised you are so compliant when it comes to Gaetz

Because I don't personally care about some Rep. from Florida

And I am inclined to give the Presidential winner of the popular vote and electoral vote the benefit of the doubt when he wishes to have a person take a role in his administration

You seem to think DC should move to block him and are really concerned about it
I'm not concerned about a Rep who resigned under a cloud of serious accusations. I'm concerned about the attorney general of the USA.

As a general proposition, the president should be given great latitude in whom he wishes to appoint. I've said nothing critical about any of Trump's appointments, other than Gaetz. I'm sure he wants the opportunity to clear his name. You sure are docile and trusting when it comes to executive appointments. A startling lack of curiosity

We currently have the most compromised attorney general in history that has weaponized the FBI and DOJ against the political enemies of his political party and you are worried about the possibility Gaetz was at a sex party. It is really insane.
Aren't you curious why Gaetz was the most disliked member of the HOR?

Interesting that Congress is a universally despised institution to the public

So lets take the approval of these political creatures with a huge grain of salt.

[Congress' Job Approval Drops to 13%

Gaetz was the most despised member of a body with 13% approval rating. I'm looking forward to the hearing in front of a friendly committee.
There was rejoicing in the Republican caucus when Gaetz resigned

Ok. That's clearly a reason to vote for him. Tell me why I shouldn't.

So a universally hated group of politicians (that you seem to like for some strange reason) hated him

Cool

That tells us nothing more than they are all pretty horrid people in DC

The more you freak out about this guy the more I am inclined to give him a chance.

Maybe blow and babes is what it takes to get good things done at the DOJ... lol
Blow and sex parties with minors. Quite the recommendation

Eric Holder and Merrik Garland look like the kind of creepy guys who know about sex with minors

(Just not girls)


It takes real dedication to be such a good fighter for the tribe. I can't believe I thought you were a libertarian. You are gunning for a tribal chieftanship!

Contrary to Democrat narrative, Ron Paul is the right pole in the Republican Party.

You're not a Senator

Matt Gaetz, Master of Insults, Now Needs Support From Senators He Bashed
The right-wing mudslinger built his brand on mercilessly trolling his adversaries, including some Republican senators, on TV and social media. Now he needs their votes to be confirmed.

He's bashed a lot of people (who needed bashing) but I'm not aware he's spent a lot of ammo on Senators (except perhaps when they richly deserved it).

GOP senators who vote against him will get primaried, as they should.
