Gaetz the Creep not worthy!

Asymmetric warfare. They use institutions to destroy political opponents. We got Merrick Garland.

The people on the right calling everyone pdfiles that they dont agree with, and this is gonna be fine with them, they literally have no standard

I doubt he’d even be confirmed.

He'd turn it into the American version of the Stazi.

So the trans in sports(1%)was never about protecting children. Installing a perv as Attorney General is not protecting children.

Yes, and it's going to get worse. He has not even started his term. God, please help us all.

chelseanh.bsky.social•105 days ago

Would his colleagues in the House hate him enough to impeach him?

The DOJ should get off of it's ass & start prosecuting these criminals before they hit the SCOTUS above the law level.

jenniefields.bsky.social•105 days ago

The scary part… He’ll probably be more effective than Merrick Garland ever was on his best day. And I despise Gaetz.

dearzeus.gay•105 days ago

Yeah and there's nothing we can do about it so. Just gotta watch them burn their own base.

norcalbob.bsky.social•105 days ago

You can certainly see why he wants to do recess appointments.

hffrkmp.bsky.social•105 days ago

He's not hiring competent people. Gaetz is perfect for Trump. Both of them know know nothing. It's a class act.

profusional.bsky.social•105 days ago

There's a whole lotta ppl in Congress who hate him. That confirm is gonna get wild.

pamzy.bsky.social•105 days ago

I honestly think DOJ staff will resign before following this dbag.
Jan6 hearings revealed their unwillingness to do anything shady.

goatsgotohell.bsky.social•105 days ago

The goal is to have the public distrust institutions and damage them beyond repair to set up the fascist regime. It’s textbook. This is by design.

joe-thoma-iv.bsky.social•105 days ago

This is where we would rely on our elected democrats to use any means necessary to make sure the nomination fails.
But we know that's off the table.

danastarr18.bsky.social•105 days ago

Garland did nothing for 4 years, and here we are. There better be a reckoning if/when we regain power. I will be voting for a hard ass Dem, or not at all.

nomorefs.bsky.social•105 days ago

I sure hope some savvy govt employees are hiding away documents that Trump’s blackshirts may hope to destroy to protect themselves in the future

beckys883.bsky.social•105 days ago

This is bordering on the ridiculous. I believe they will be pulling a 25th amendment on him within a month.

zippyknitter.bsky.social•105 days ago

If they did the Magas would revolt. Vance would be worse.

tbocamper.bsky.social•105 days ago

Please tell me Congress will have to approve these nominations! FFS

mjsdc.bsky.social•105 days ago

It’s also very likely that, under Gaetz, the Justice Department would crack down on abortion pills and prosecute providers who mail them. Ending access to medication abortion has been one of his passions in Congress. https://slate.com/news-and-politics/2024/11/matt-gaetz-donald-trump-attorney-general-disaster.html

carriesweet.bsky.social•104 days ago

A prominent feature of the GOP rape culture is to punish women who do not want to be impregnated against their will.

And yet the majority of white women voted for this.

recluse2567.bsky.social•105 days ago

Gaetz is ignorant. He'll get his marching orders from others. Kick him into the ditch NOW.

pai-pai.bsky.social•105 days ago

So he wants his victims pregnant?

What if Canadian friends would like to help? Could they prosecute those outside of their jurisdiction?

There is no god. I now know why my son doesn’t believe in god. I get it. There is no god.

wistfulwitness.bsky.social•103 days ago

What a ghastly, ghastly, disgusting hypocrite. The man had sex with teenagers. And then parades this 19th century Victorian morality. Whatever terrible thing happens to him, he’s earned it.

lovedogs8.bsky.social•105 days ago

I'm sure the pedos would hoard them.

kevinrusch.com•105 days ago

That's what this country chose. Maybe this will help the voters realize their choices have consequences. But no, they'll probably blame it on Obamacare.

tpobuda.bsky.social•105 days ago

They should 'crack down' on Gaetz' ED medication while they are at it [but I know they won't because 'the movement' is all about controlling women].

This is psychological warfare against a battered and demoralized opponent, and it’s brilliant. So many brains exploding

mirlynn.bsky.social•105 days ago

Can they do this in a state where it’s legal?

You mean the only guy in the House who wouldn’t vote against a sex trafficking bill?

I’m really tired of this clown car full of fascists & and they all need to be stopped

streetglimpses.bsky.social•105 days ago

I’m deeply disappointed at the fact that no one talks about Merrick Garland’s colossal failure at DoJ. At this stage, I can’t say that it wasn’t intentional. It’d be unthinkable otherwise.

progalaskan.bsky.social•105 days ago

And rumor has it that House Ethics has finished its investigation and is/was about to issue a report that is, mildly put, not favorable to Gaetz.

Why else would the man have resigned already, when his nomination likely faces some *challenges* from even his own party?

giadagagliardi.bsky.social•105 days ago

jaspearce.bsky.social•105 days ago

I'm split between laughing hysterically because he's so fkn dumb, and crying hysterically because he's such a c*nt.

skydaver.bsky.social•105 days ago

I can't figure out how to share this easily, so I'm just going to copy it and post elsewhere.
I appreciate your words, and the link!

charitymorganlv.bsky.social•105 days ago

I've tried to let the nominations slide off my back because there is nothing I can do but this one is absolutely disgusting.
I know Secretary of the Interior will make me cry and I'll probably have to check out from people for a while to get myself together.
