FWIW: Picking Matt Gaetz is utter insanity (and further narrows the GOP Majority, whatever it ends up being).
But I'm grateful, in a way, that Trump has pissed off the Senate and made his unfitness clear in a way that EVEN Republicans recognize.
It helps Dems do work they're not yet up to.

Also, the way I see this game of chess playing out, Trump has no intention of relying on the Senate to confirm his cabinet.
So their being pissed off is completely irrelevant.
Hopefully were they can't get anything done because they're all idiots.
Then they will rubber-stamp all of Trump's other picks who are unfit for the job.
Garland has turned out to be the destroyer of the rule of law in America.
He is responsible for Trump, a convicted criminal, not being convicted for insurrection and espionage.
He's the devil in disguise.
Matt Gaetz couldn't do greater damage to America if he tried.
He's showing us he intends to do whatever the hell he wants and there's nothing anyone can do about it.

It's one thing to attack Trump. But it's another thing to tell the story of Gaetz' sex parties.
LET THE LEAKS BEGIN!!!!
Even if this were overcome, SCOTUS left itself room to remember that, wait, isn't it the President's job to enforce the law, and then how can any crime be an official act?
Really? That's the phrase you want to go with here?
GOP killed the confidence of moderates, independents, and Dems.
Or is this just Trump's impulsiveness shining through?
but the ppl he’s trolling.. are the republicans who have to do his bidding in the House & Senate.. 🫢🫢 so like… it’s all just a big wind up, for effect..(?)
I can imagine Musk also thinking these appointments are hilarious.. 😐😐🫢
this is all a big FU to "norms and traditions"
adjourn the Senate, recess appoint all of them
twist the arms to eliminate filibuster, and the road is open
you seem to think limits remain
dismantle the regulatory state that stands in their way
Can DeSantis appoint a replacement for Gaetz? Or do they need to hold a special election? Thanks
We both know it.
I, at least, will be shocked if there is any appreciable push back.
This is kiss the ring time, I'm afraid.
(I so want to be shocked!)
Please stop expecting them to. You'll only be disappointed.
I think they’re offering Gaetz as the lamb for sacrifice so the other noms pass…

You wanted one that combine oligarchy and puppets. Check German. They’re good at that.
This Senator is all in on Gaetz. He made the most ridiculous defenses of him, of course at the same time berating Dems.
The senate, sadly, will fall in line, either vote him in or go on recess so trump can make his appointments.
