Funny, Supreme Court nominees aren't on your list.

And I imagine he would think 99% of the people on this board were scum. He's not "one of us" in any way. He's a rich kid from a political family who grew up in the Florida "swamp" and used the money and nepo baby status his dad gave him to get into Congress without ever really working a real job.
The Gaetz worship was always weird to me because he is everything the blue collar MAGA types claim to hate
Powerfully true statement from our noble board leader SFP

It's an unforced error in terms of political capital, IMO. There were very legitimate reasons for R voters to not like the Gaetz pick, and I thought the value would come not only from his results in tearing up DOJ but in the command it would show if DJT got him through. I don't care about Gaetz not being AG on substance, but nobody wants to pull a pick in this manner.
I don't think it's a huge deal for Trump, but from the outset I thought it was a gamble with only a so-so payoff even if he threaded the needle.
As for Gaetz being out of the House, I personally don't care that much

There is some smoke that the Gaetz nominee was to thumb out the true RINOS’ to set the stage on who we need to primary and kick out & how we need to fight in the future knowing who the turncoats are.
Do you really need this entire event to tell you that people like Murkowski & Collins need to go? Just think about that for a couple seconds.

A lot of people beat off to clip worthy public hearing beatdowns, but the whole premise of public hearings are circus theater and they just make me angry.
So even the guys on our side “owning the libs” get on my nerves, because the real magic happens behind closed doors, and nothing ever happens, except sending more checks to Ukraine, and renewing FISA laws.

So what’s the reason he resigned that doesn’t have to do with quashing the ethics report? It just doesn’t make sense.
I have no clue and neither do you. What we do know is that a very hostile and weaponized DOJ couldn’t find enough to even indict. It is VERY easy to get an indictment. The rational conclusion would be nothing illegal happened. Instead, you the irrational way and conclude otherwise.

Lets be honest, why are we stressing about this? Time will tell. If nothing happens, its most likely that Gaetz gets ousted by the report.
If Gaetz is placed elsewhere quickly than its likely it was a nothing burger.
The reality is one solution to this entire thing is that Gaetz was the scapegoat to find the Rino's or to win political points for something else. I don't think that's likely, but it is a possibility if Trump puts him elsewhere. Again, time will tell.

And it’s ok for people to simply agree that Gaetz was a bad pick, and was going to be out of Congress regardless. He has a bad scandal and overall poor support for colleagues.
He could run for re-election again if he so chooses. He chose not to.

Something a replacement-level Republican couldn't have done without much sweat?
Sure, toss them in there as well. Supreme Court nominees aren't as much of an accomplishment as they are course of business, but sure, you can add it.

To take the distractions away during this critical transition would be most plausible. It’s not like he can be smeared or embarrassed by Dems much more than he already has. But ask yourself another question.
Why would they let off of a serious and unbiased ethics probe just because he pulled his name? Aren’t they interested in justice!?!?

How is he a cult hero when he had the second and third largest popular votes ever? He had a Kennedy defect to his side for Pete's sake. That's not a cult, that's a very broad public mandate.

yes tell us more how many GOOD hires Biden made, starting with the most useless VP running mate that historically bombed at the polls this year.
Good talk. Post less.

There is a LONG list of GOP politicians who got people on here hard by doing this who are now legitimately hated by the MAGA types
Chris Christie, Terry Gowdy, etc.
It's all silly muh fight silliness.
The only thing more cringe than crowning their asses is the hyperbolic language used.
Watch him DEMOLISH this Lib
He just DECAPITATED her in this clip
