Even with this great news, contact your Senators, Dem and Repub. Tell them NO to Gaetz and Tulsi Gabbard and to keep asking for the ethics report. KEEP THE PRESSURE ON THEM!
AOC was on Joy Reid tonight and mentioned that gaetz resigned from the 118th Congress but was elected for the 119th Congress. So is his resignation only good until the end of the year? Cant the ethics committee release the report after he’s sworn in?
I will believe when I see it. It’s very unlikely that any GOP senators will oppose any of his picks. Including his selection of a Russian asset to be DNI.
They need to take a page from trump’s own book and dare him to do something about it. What’s he gonna do? Midterms are years away. Is he going to accordion-hands them to death?
Even so, what does he have on them that’s any worse than what we know about him already? They cheated on their wives? Committed fraud? Assaulted a woman in a department store dressing room? Unless they are all actual pedophiles, I can’t really imagine what they’re so afraid of
Valid point, unless there are a few publicly clean GOP who don't want their shit aired with the rest. But even "pedo" doesn't seem to stop them from voting. They think "libtard" is worse.
I think they fear losing money and power more than anything else. Without them, they become like the general public, like US. They don’t want to be us because they know how bad they’ve made life for us with their crap decisions.
He resigned from THIS term but won the seat for the term that begins in JAN. If they don't nominate him, he might be back in Congress. That damn report needs to be leaked to take him out once and for all.
I didn’t think Trump would win but here we are. I don’t expect him to try to get Gaetz nominated regardless. He’ll make an executive order or something like that in order to avoid having to care about the results of a vote. I hope I’m wrong.
Thank you Senators because AG is THE PEOPLE’S ATTORNEY and he’s said that he would abolish FBI, CIA, DOJ and how would that be good for the people? NEXT
I appreciate your optimism that there will be a confirmation process. But even if that happens, what’s to stop him from making Gaetz acting AG? We’ve seen this movie before and the sequel is going to be so much worse.
If Repubs couldn't restrain Trump before, why wld they have a change of heart now? A massive repudiation of Gaetz's character isn't going to happen...they're all broken, beyond civil &below the pale. We're in an authoritarian epoch now...total loyalty is key to survival in Trump's dystopian world.
These past few months people have posting statements without any evidence to back it up. Stop doing this. Give specific names or something to back it up.
Why would Republican Senators care? They voted for a malignant narcissist who has been accused of sexual assault by more than a dozen women and convicted of sexual assault. I’ve seen this show before, and I didn’t like the ending
It is so important to not just bitch and moan on social media but people have to actually call their Senators. No recess appointments, and block Gaetz, Kennedy, Gabbard. Idealistic? Maybe but we don’t have another choice. GOP won’t grow balls on their own.
He resigned his seat for this term though. Do you think that holds over for the next? Or can he just jump right back in at the beginning of the next term?
Yep. He resigned. If you quit your job for another job and that job doesn't work out, you don't just go back to your old job and say, "Yeah, I'm gonna work here again because the other one didn't work out".
Trump has less than ten years to live . He doesn't care how he gets what he wants . What are we going to do ? Impeach him ? Throw him in jail ? That ship sailed as we are an unserious nation .
I agree with you. It’s a loyalty test. It’s a choice between loyalty to Trump vs their loyalty to their country. They have already shown us who they are…. He 💯 will get the votes.
What happens (if they really vote against his nomination) to his seat now that he's resigned? It's over for him, right? Or at least until Trump brings him in in another unofficial role.
Just curious- Did Republicans in the House give Gaetz a heads up about what was in their report & the easy way out of making it public was a nomination he'd never get approved for, running cover for his resignation?
I've had a suspicion that the Gaetz appointment was only a pay back by Trump for his support with both of them already knowing Gaetz wouldn't get the votes. It allowed him an excuse to quit and gets him out of trouble.
Not working in government is far better than a life in prison as a pedophile.
We’ll see how it goes. I’ll believe that this country may still have hope of being saved if I could see that there are still some Republicans who love this country enough to protect its democracy.
“The woman at the center of the DOJ's probe of Rep. Matt Gaetz testified to the House Ethics Committee that he had sex with her when she was 17 years old, sources say.”
Indulge a little Senate Dem smashmouth fantasy: They should support him for AG, on condition the full House Ethics Report gets released first. Then downvote him anyway.
After years of getting ratfucked, return the favor. More Harry Reid, less Sue Collins, is my mood.
Done? I hope you're right, but I keep thinking of how tRUmp had lots of "acting" secretaries in his first term, and then there's always the possibility of a recess appointment. I wouldn't count him out just yet. JMO

Stop.
If king of maralardo can set up his friend's to sleep with their wives...
Gaetz never knew what hit him
Sorry, I'll believe it when I see it. We are in a new reality.
Too much disappointment this past few days and I am being numb!

Rs lack courage.
Trump is going to break any spine left of the Rs & he’ll do it in the 1st year
C'mon.
They're all going to fall in line.
They, as a group, have not been noted for their spine
