The Great Cucking has begun.
Weren't we mocking this pick for taking an important Congressional seat that would then need someone appointed by the state governor to fill it?
Now he can be appointed to another position.
Some people WANT to whine and moan and doom...
I wanted Gaetz to poke the puss abscess in the DOJ.
If there is a better guy to do that who won't recoil like a little bitch when pearl-clutchers demand "civility", "constructive collaboration" and "no uncivil retribution", that fine. Is there such a person in line for the job?
Would you rather have Kamala Harris appointing the position?
(Perspective is downvoted. Emotions are king and logic is FUCKED!)
Considering you mentioned Harris, that's the point, isn't it? Republicans won, so let's act like it and push through whoever we want, critics (muh optics) be damned.
I don't want to see Gaetz passed over unless there is someone else better.
That state governor would be DeSantis, so it was going to be a republican. Hell, he might just appoint Gaetz.
Watch an israel first neocon be his replacement.
I guess the neocons threw a hissy fit
Apparently need over 50% votes to get the position. All the democrats would toe the party line and vote "no" because he's qualified for the job, and some republicans had already openly stated they wouldn't support him, perhaps because of that time he walked through the halls of Congress with some reporters and pointed to those neocons' doors and mentioned facts about their stock portfolios that strongly hinted of insider trading.
why would they need to hide insider trading? it's legal for them! ( and only them )
It's not legal for them, the law just isn't enforced unless they piss in someone's Cheerios. If someone like Gaetz were to do it they'd fry his ass.
It's legal for them to trade provided they file the forms. They have insider info about all kinds of things and things that would affect the general economy.
Wikipedia says insider trading laws lack specific definitions. The executive is afraid to make cases against legislators except in the most dire of cases (corruption) because they are afraid of separation of powers.
no AIPAC endorsement = no position for you
I have a feeling he was the tall ask, the bigger showcase is who Trump NEXT picks as his AG
If it's someone we know wouldn't have gone through if Gaetz didn't take all the heat the first time round, Trump played them. Now I'm more hoping RFK Jr and the Border Czar gets confirmed as they are the more important ones.
Honestly, she's not a national name, but I'd love to see Trump nominate Pam Bondi for AG. I know that they know each other, and she's fairly populist, and has reached the "no more fucks to give" level already.
Going by your description she sounds great.
I can actually imagine that would work well since the left we go "look how much we won! Gretz is gone and now there's a woman who's AG!" not knowing she's about to wreak their shit...
I had forgotten that she was one of his lawyers during his impeachments and now works for him. She also has a history of getting up in the left's faces.
I'm willing to wait to see how this plays out before I pass any judgement.
I'm seeing that there are several options here:
he resigned his current congressional seat, but he's still the congressman-elect for the next seat, so he could very well just go back to congress.
Rubio's senate seat needs to be filled; DeSantis could grow a spine and appoint Gaetz there.
Kash Patel and Gen. Flynn still have not received appointments; either one of them could go to either the FBI director or AG spots and either one would be just as good as Gaetz.
He resigned his congressional seat for this. Why? I am honestly so disappointed.
Why? Because the powers that be do not want any opposition to the jewish agenda. The objective was to get rid of Gaetz because he voted against the anti-white bill.
Apparently he resigned from the current congress and not the upcoming one he was elected to. We'll have to see. I wouldn't hold my breath.
in the letter he did say he do not intend on taking the oath of office for the upcoming congress. Now can he take it? Don't know.
Also, Gaetz steps away the same day house democrats says they'll allow Trump to appoint 4 federal judges? Sounds like Trump anchored them with Gaetz.
I think the intent not to take office next term is just advisory, like go ahead and scramble to hold a special election and get somebody in there to start the Jan 3 term in case of important votes early on.
But if Gaetz is going to be in 2025 Congress after all they won't hold an election for somebody to serve a few days in a recessed Congress.
I am hoping the backup plan here is for DeSantis to appoint him as Rubio's replacement in the Senate.
Here is hoping, just seems like a tremendous waste of potential and political capital.
This is what I get for expecting anything out of the republican party.
He's probably getting something else in the Adminstration that he can be forced through on.
I saw multiple people predict this. A lot of takes that he was a sacrifice to draw ire to get other people flying under the radar and to help with making a deal. Could be cope, could be true.
But everyone jumping to the world is over everything is horrible, Trump is done for etc. is a bad take that just depresses everyone and causes more harm than good.
Gaetz left himself vulnerable by participating in those sex parties with the hookers. I almost think that it was an intentional trap by the powers that be because it’s exactly the same playbook that Epstein used to blackmail people. Bottom line is that you can’t fuck that many hookers as a member of congress and expect all of them to STFU. And if this thing was a honeypot all along, well then Matt played himself.
I kind of wonder if Gaetz was a lighting rod to provide cover for Trump's other picks. They might not be so pissy about the likes of RFK Jr. now that they've caught a glimpse of their worst nightmare.
Now the dumb fuck isn't even a congressman anymore.
He's still a part of the next Congress, 200IQ move
I fucking called it. Trump was removing perceived "anti-semites" from congress so that there will be no opposition to yet another war in the litterbox.
Weren't we mocking this pick for taking an important Congressional seat that would then need someone appointed by the state governor to fill it?
Now he can be appointed to another position.

Well since I'm not a citizen of Israel, excuse me if I don't get excited for Israel First governor Ron DeSantis picking another APAIC approved anything.
Gaetz resigned from the 118th Congress.
He is still Representative-Elect to the 119th Congress, which begins in January.
Think.
That's cope.
If you truly think WE'RE FUCKED!, you wouldn't be typing here.
You'd be marching with weapons.
The fact that you are still here implies you know this is not the end.
You'll see in two months.
Nothing can stop what's coming.
Nothing.
Can't do anything until you ungrateful backstabbers learn to sit down and shut up.
I'm happy Trump won and you call me an "ungrateful backstabber?"
Pessimism is poison, I tell you. Poison.
