Matt Gaetz gave up his seat in the House just to withdraw his name as Donald Trump's AG.

I love this for him.

He gave up his seat to stop the ethics report from being released. That's the only reason he was nominated-- to give him a reason to resign.

wuzntme.bsky.social•99 days ago

Could be Smoke and Mirrors.
They might feel this is the best way to get eyes off of him. And during Recces put him in place anyway.

Keep his disgusting actions in the news so he don't fly under the radar.

abhsc.bsky.social•99 days ago

Watch him become the FL Senator with Rubio out of the way....

tacticalsense.bsky.social•99 days ago

🥤🍿

pjocky82.bsky.social•99 days ago

He can say it was because of the “distractions” but we all know the senators told him “He’ll No!”

nitenitemelissa.bsky.social•99 days ago

loupou21.bsky.social•99 days ago

He will Take his seat next year. He’s that much of a d**k

desertstarfairy.bsky.social•99 days ago

I wonder what else he has up his sleeve. Something is amiss 🤷‍♀️

drturdferguson.bsky.social•99 days ago

What is up the sleeve is he won his reelection and will be back in congress come January. He dodged the ethics report and faced no consequences. The whole AG thing was probably a charade from the start.

coloradonative.bsky.social•99 days ago

I've been thinking the same thing. Gaetz didn't get the pardon he wanted so this is probably the workaround. Let the dust settle over the report then go back to Congress like nothing happened.

aakahl.bsky.social•99 days ago

Do you think Trump will pressure DeSantis to put him in Rubios Senate seat?

lehamandcheese.bsky.social•99 days ago

My thoughts exactly

cosmopolitan23.bsky.social•99 days ago

Like seemingly everyone else in the world, its been reported that DeSantis hates Gaetz.

sondeerrf.bsky.social•99 days ago

Serious question I haven’t seen an answer to: there’s no loophole that lets him regain his seat right? In that he resigned from this Congress but had been reelected for the next one.

bcb21.bsky.social•99 days ago

Sadly, won't be surprised if DeSantis appoints him to Rubio's seat

kirchma.bsky.social•99 days ago

He will be able to statutory rape full time now?

im-not-going-back.bsky.social•99 days ago

Thanks, Gaetz!

innervoice9.bsky.social•99 days ago

I can’t stop chuckling.

missy-ubermom.bsky.social•99 days ago

Yeah but he was just re-elected. Does that asshole get to be sworn in for the next session?

wmeumfleet.bsky.social•99 days ago

Will DeSantis put him in
Marco’s old senate seat?

whitewolfgaming.bsky.social•99 days ago

oh, PLEASE tell me this is true... i've had so much shit to deal with this year, i don't want to be lied to about this bullshit

nativenewyorker77.bsky.social•99 days ago

georgiapeach69.bsky.social•99 days ago

FAFO in action 😂

reneelascala.bsky.social•99 days ago

But he was reelected!

randombott.bsky.social•99 days ago

He’ll have to fight Elvin for @FLOTUS position now.
Sad.

prisbrou.bsky.social•99 days ago

This is all to avoid going to trial for rape. We must keep our foot on the gas….release the report

johnoismynameo.bsky.social•99 days ago

I mean…at this point this is better written than most soap operas on TV 🤣🍿

sgold613.bsky.social•99 days ago

He won reelection in the state of Florida. Won’t he just be reinstated in January?

deesgirl.bsky.social•99 days ago

Tee hee hee

erfaulkner.bsky.social•99 days ago

He was trying to evade the ethics committee. Because the report is that bad. So glad we dodged that bullet.

wobedraggled.bsky.social•99 days ago

Womp Womp etc etc etc

Now arrest him and lock him away.

getoutofmyway.bsky.social•99 days ago

Schadenfreudepalooza

gottaluvamerica.bsky.social•99 days ago

He on resigned his current seat, he could I think resume in the next congress

pindancer.bsky.social•99 days ago

If Trump had even a single cell of honor, he’d resign too.

david-webb-06.bsky.social•99 days ago

Dumpster fire put out temporarily.

maxiemargie.bsky.social•99 days ago

Hahaha 😂

lerosbif.bsky.social•99 days ago

The question is, what has he been offered instead because you can be sure this wasn't totally voluntary

1jcc.bsky.social•99 days ago

He was reelected. So he's back on January 3rd

altony.bsky.social•99 days ago

FAFO!

politicalamericans.bsky.social•99 days ago

spadehouston.bsky.social•99 days ago

Trump will give him a job. He will be an aide or something.

john-of-arc.bsky.social•99 days ago

Live shot of Kevin McCarthy

forthedefense.bsky.social•99 days ago

It's a good look for him.

bethg53.bsky.social•99 days ago

timclark89.bsky.social•99 days ago

He could still take his seat in the next Congress

bluerevus.bsky.social•99 days ago

But then the ethics committee will step in (hopefully)

unilecturerrob.bsky.social•99 days ago

Exactly - I doubt he will given that would the only way he would face any consequences

nunyabitnez.bsky.social•99 days ago

watch : "This congress is not interested in dredging up tabloid issues from the past"

jillesko.bsky.social•99 days ago

Tabloid issues? The guy is a total scum!

grouchosghost.bsky.social•99 days ago

Though he did say in his resignation letter he would not be coming back in January for the next term.

spiritbeing.bsky.social•99 days ago

This sh*tshow may be hard to live through, but it's gonna be fun to watch.

azcuminer.bsky.social•99 days ago

Now that he’s officially stumbled, give him a hard kick in the ass: publish the sex crimes report. TODAY.

albireo-50.bsky.social•99 days ago

Watch him try and get reinstated somehow.

bluesteam617.bsky.social•99 days ago

Still: RELEASE THE REPORT!!!

liztelgan.bsky.social•99 days ago

I kinda want all the reports. If everybody knows the laundry of all our members in gov. Like the way they want to cover this up makes me terrified and curious about the people we have put in power in general.

luludollz.bsky.social•99 days ago

He was elected to the next Congress. He will be in the next Congress.

lorikimmerle.bsky.social•99 days ago

But what about the Congress he was just elected for?

kikisma.bsky.social•99 days ago

It is delicious 😋

coffee-grimace.bsky.social•99 days ago

Did he?

ferrellslaw.bsky.social•99 days ago

Must have been one hell of a house ethics report.

connectnconsult.bsky.social•99 days ago

See Ya! ✌🏼

scribemarjie.bsky.social•99 days ago

but...he was re-elected, ugh

sharoncstorm.bsky.social•99 days ago

He can’t get appointed by DeSantis for the House seat, there has to be a special election. He can, however, be appointed to Rubio’s Senate seat.

bluewarriorva.bsky.social•99 days ago

Uggghhh. Given that possibility, the Ethics Committee HAS to release the report.

scribemarjie.bsky.social•99 days ago

oh, lord

johnperschino.bsky.social•99 days ago

He was reelected. There will be no need for a special election.

scribemarjie.bsky.social•99 days ago

Wow.

johnperschino.bsky.social•99 days ago

Correct. He resigned from this Congress, not the next one. All he has to do is show up and be sworn in and he's right back where he was.

There appear to be No consequences for his kind. Thanks go to Merrick Garland.

ccknockout.bsky.social•99 days ago

Very interesting. Oh, to be a fly on those walls during those conversations.

gram2maine.bsky.social•99 days ago

Someone pointed out that maybe DeSatan promised him Rubio's senate seat. Ugh. #theresistancemustpersist.

bellamontargis.bsky.social•99 days ago

Hope they leak that report so he cannot assume his previously abdicated congressional seat.

C’mon karma … finish him!

periwinklerose.bsky.social•99 days ago

For real? Does this mean that since he won his reelection, he gets his Congressional seat back, even though he resigned? Gawd, I hope not! 😳

noledude.bsky.social•99 days ago

Unfortunately he has expressed interest in running for governor of Florida.

valpp7.bsky.social•99 days ago

Trump uses people like paper handkerchiefs and throws them away after use.

armygirl.bsky.social•99 days ago

Cause that report was gonna make him have to leave. He was screwed one way or the other. Hoping the report never sees the light of day. trump would put Epstein on as AG if he hadn’t killed him.

dawncuds.bsky.social•99 days ago

Great! Now where’s that report.

geibu.bsky.social•99 days ago

may he fade into obscurity 🤞

dopanne.bsky.social•99 days ago

Exactly! I'm watching the shitshow with you!!

obijuanjalapeno.bsky.social•99 days ago

💥 boom💥

denisemckahn.bsky.social•99 days ago

👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

mmcstl.bsky.social•99 days ago

But will he be reseated in the new Congress, or did he withdraw from that, too?

gobluefordemocracy.bsky.social•99 days ago

Yes, I’ve also been wondering about that. What are the rules?

drturdferguson.bsky.social•99 days ago

He only resigned his current term. Since he won reelection, he can come back in January. This was all a bunch of bullshit to protect him.

gobluefordemocracy.bsky.social•99 days ago

Thanks for the info. Too bad it makes me sad

drturdferguson.bsky.social•99 days ago

Apparently they did start the process to have a special election in Florida. So it depends on the paperwork done and specific wording of Florida law. It's possible he is gone, I just won't believe it until it happens.

indepinla.bsky.social•99 days ago

I love this for us!

nunyabitnez.bsky.social•99 days ago

He resigned from this session of Congress. He can go back in January and this is all swept under the rug. Forget about the drug fueled sex parties, because those are ok, its that she was 17, not that he was at at least 10 drug fueled sex parties.

susiejgray.bsky.social•99 days ago

Hahaha!!! Fantastic! 🥂😂

jackiswoke.bsky.social•99 days ago

He was reelected. Will the Ethics Committee raise objections to him being seated again, or does his resignation take precedence ?

nowhereismyhome.bsky.social•99 days ago

Fox News making a slot for him no doubt.

sweetesttabu.bsky.social•99 days ago

Oh...
Oh....no...
That's awful...

kletty.bsky.social•99 days ago

Just watching this. MG with Brainless Bobo at his side, gazing adoringly. Who's going to break it to her she's too old to get his attention?

kenjansen.bsky.social•99 days ago

#ETTD

sherriwehrmann.bsky.social•99 days ago

Keep in mind, with Marco Rubio leaving his senate seat that DiSantis could appoint him to fill Rubio’s seat.

novafc.bsky.social•99 days ago

Time for some jail time

adgates.bsky.social•99 days ago

😂💙

onan3333.bsky.social•99 days ago

Well, he's been a pretty good smokescreen for Tulsi Gabbard who's a ruzzian asset, and nobody's been talking about that, so maybe he knew he was resigning from Congress this week anyway, plays the foil and then runs for Gov of FL, where his character doesn't matter at all

ru12xu.bsky.social•99 days ago

donlinn.bsky.social•99 days ago

Matt Gaetz, at some point, somewhere, will be indicted and forced to defend himself.

grouchosghost.bsky.social•99 days ago

He would probably have quit anyway.

richsmit.bsky.social•99 days ago

Better for US.

parodyislegal.bsky.social•99 days ago

Come on. The resignation was a straight up career saving move regardless.

The nomination gave him a pretext with plausible deniability.

He’ll simply be appointed to a role in the administration that isn’t subject to confirmation.

He wins either way unfortunately.

mr2600.bsky.social•99 days ago

He'll have all the time for his real passion, minor purchases.

jugeebear.bsky.social•99 days ago

Nah. He will take his seat for the next ELECTED session.
