Lets wait until they actually vote. They are Republicans what they say and what they do are two different things.

There are sensible republicans even if their number is dwindling.

Or Trump plans to remove him from the appointment avoiding the Senate call for the Ethics Committee's investigation report for sex trafficking & elicite drug use by Gaetz release.
Having resigned from the House for this session shut release down, but he was reelected for the next session.

OPINION: A recess appointment will put Gaetz in the position for 18 months.
That would be enough time for him to assist Trump with any left over Epstein issues since Barr is not I don't believe coming back. Maxwell, is still in prison (20 yrs) & needs to get out whatever way they can do it.

Don't for Jack Smith as well. And state prosecutors where Trump has been convicted or still facing charges. 18 months is a long time to start a revenge tour.

👍
Smith already shut his cases down & left the DOJ. Best not poke a retreating bear.
If anything, NY hush money judge Merchan & GA DA Willis are big threats to Trump= no pardons.
Fulton County Judge Scott McAfee won his election to remain on bench for 4 yrs. Let's hope no quid pro quo to win.

Gaetz thinks that the glasses make him look un-pedofile-ish

Trump want to take away their powers, now they want to get upset about it? They are OK when it's other people, but not them. Hypocrites and scum.

native61li.bsky.social•100 days ago

They want him as their leader… FU #EvilGOP

caper5138.bsky.social•100 days ago

I believe they will confirm all his appointments.

cielenbleu.bsky.social•99 days ago

How sweet. They think they have a role here.

cielenbleu.bsky.social•100 days ago

There are Republican senators with spines? Since when?

eyelessgame.bsky.social•99 days ago

When it is said publicly, and they insist on public hearings and declare actual opposition, I will consider this to be something beyond hopium bullshit.

sharbri.bsky.social•99 days ago

It’s what they “do”, not what they say.

stargazer67.bsky.social•100 days ago

I don’t believe a word they say

acaciahavens.bsky.social•100 days ago

Similar to how there was going to be accountability and justice for J6.

TFG will speak their name publicly and their opposition will fade. They have no honor.

timmcauliffe.bsky.social•100 days ago

How many of the GOP Senators up for reelection in 26 are inclined to abdicate their "advice & consent" role?
Do the words "Head on a pike" (used by DJT during 1st impeachment), or primary spark a fear?
Hell yes.

hmrd.bsky.social•100 days ago

It really sad when this is the best he can do for nominees. Whatever happened about getting the best people for the role?

lutherious.bsky.social•100 days ago

The report is gonna get leaked and the senate will Bork him.

happytom.bsky.social•100 days ago

I wonder if this is the nominee that is so bad that it makes the others appear acceptable by comparison.
