A rat on 2 legs. A disgraceful, disgusting human being.

And that's just what some of the republicans think.

Think of the worst pantomime villain then personify it into a real piece of shit.

Seems like a well grounded man, Donald is choosing well


First elected to Congress in 2016, Gaetz represents a ruby-red district in the Florida panhandle and has become known as one of Congress's most showboating members. He reportedly sought a pardon from Trump over his efforts to overturn the election, and has embraced conspiracy theories about the attack on the US Capitol. Last year, he led a successful effort to oust fellow Republican Kevin McCarthy from the speakership, throwing his caucus into chaos.

Gaetz's nomination comes a little over a year after the justice department decided not to charge him as part of a sex trafficking investigation that involved allegations he had sex with a 17-year-old girl. Joel Greenberg, a former friend and ally, pleaded guilty to sex trafficking and was sentenced to 11 years in prison. Gaetz has denied the allegations.

He also faces investigation from the House ethics committee over allegations that he "engaged in sexual misconduct and illicit drug use, accepted improper gifts, dispensed special privileges and favors to individuals with whom he had a personal relationship, and sought to obstruct government investigations of his conduct." He has denied all wrondoing

Trump's 2nd term sure where could it go wrong?

[Wildweasel74]

He the lad. up on underage trafficking. Stay classy America!!!

The GOP is like the dog chasing the car and finally caught it.

They have no idea what to do now.

You have got to be absolutely f**king kidding me. Matt Gaetz as Attorney General.

That is one of the most disgraceful appointments I could think of. Jesus Wept. Like putting Epstein in charge of a day school.

I can't even fathom

I've been in a pretty sanguine, apathetic state of resignation and indifference over all of this.

That said, the likes of Gaetz and Gabbard and Hegseth looks like just trolling.

Mark Haperins take on the more controversial picks was that while they hadnt a hope of getting confirmed, they will draw fire away from of the "less controversial " picks

I dont know if I give Trump that much credit

[Banks of the Bann]

Remember theres one group of people who don't need to worry about who gets voted in.

These people are obviously just lucky every single time I guess

You've now got a Putin apologist arselicker in there as Director of National Intelligence so perhaps some crumbs of comfort for you Skull.

Plenty of assassin's about wanting to shoot the messenger

Can we not all come together and agree it's just one massive Israel shilling genocide enabling uniparty? All the other stuff on both sides is just a ruse to make people think they have choice. Reality is that Zionists rule the world and have every country bowing to their interests EVEN in the face of blatant genocide no less.

Strange to me thats considered controversial by some here.

There are only 15 million Jews in the world, but they are running it? Seems a stretch?

It's strange to you because you're an eejit that swallows every conspiracy theory going on the internet without any critical thought whatsoever.

Israel uses antisemitism, real and imaginary, to justify its existence. So think about that when you're parroting the conspiracy theory bullshit you watch online.

I thought that too but as you say it's far too Machiavellian for someone like Trump. More likely is that he views Gaetz as a fellow "witch-hunt victim" and this appt gets him out of the house ethics investigation and the trouble that would bring to the GOP and Gaetz' re-election.

Entirely plausible that an adviser with Trump went along with this as it appeases Trump, digs Gaetz out of a ethics investigation and they'll be able to convince Donald to discard him once the Senate get him in front of him. He seems like an absolute cretin, like making Christy Kinahan minister for Justice.

Go and do a bit of reading on AIPAC there milltown.

Educate yourself there first.

The Russians wouldn't get a look in in terms of election interference compared to them.
