GeorgeWill : “Matt Gaetz, an arrested-development adolescent with the swagger of a sequined guitarist in a low-rent casino, will not be confirmed. His grotesqueness, however, makes three other nominees seem what they are not: acceptable.”

No one makes Pete Hegseth seem acceptable. The moron claims a staffer sent to interrupt his predatory behavior, whose job was to get him to his room to sober up so he'd make his flight, consented to being drugged & raped. He writes and talks drivel. Trump with muscles & good hair. A pox on them all.
If Rep Senators are willing to piss off Trump by rejecting one; they may as well go all-in and reject all the crazies. Now that would be news worth watching.
In any Normal Reality, this would hold True - I disagree, for (1) Simple Reason: Trump wants Gaetz & will stop at NOTHING to appoint Him - period. Why? He wants an AG & DOJ that He can Control - simple as that. There's no "Wiggle Room" here - He'll accept No Other Outcome. Full. Stop.
I think George Will is wrong...he's absolutely going to get confirmed. Can you imagine Republicans not going along with something Trump wants them to do?
This is just a distraction to shift the focus from Russia. They are on the precipice of taking over our country. We know they are about to install Russian assets. Journalists should be shouting this from the rooftops!
I actually had the thought that Matt Gaetz was a plant to distract from how bad all the other picks are, plus allow the Republicans a single rejection so they don’t look like a rubber stamp organization (even though that’s what they seem to be now)
George will have to be extra careful during the next Reign of Terror. His literate criticisms of the ruling party will not be understood by any of them, leaving those of us on the outside shaking our heads in agreement and chuckling but without any power to remedy the situation.
He may not be confirmed, but still be the AG. Everything goes when Trump get back in power. None of your backstops will work with GOP having house, senate, scotus and president. Its goodbye USA! Sad but true..
Say it all you want but there's a better than good chance you'll be wrong. After the election, having hopes of the decency & normalcy brought by Harris & Walz DASHED, I've little hope. I don't disagree w his portrait of Gaetz (loved it), but reality is another thing. It's hard to breathe right now.

This is a proven fact. Even when they are momentarily and rationally outraged by him, they fold back into pure, unadulterated sycophancy.
God love them because I surely do not.
Gaetz or not, nothing makes Hegseth acceptable.
DOD wdnt let him near Biden's inauguration.
Now he gets in the decision line up on the nuclear codes?
We all expected Felon Jesus to appoint criminals and sexual predators to his Cabinet.
Revenge of the Swamp Creatures.
