Grimm voted against the Affordable Care Act in order to block health care access for millions of Americans.



FTA - 

The Affordable Care Act aims to increase access to healthcare for Americans who would otherwise be unable to afford it.

Now struggling to pay for his own medical treatments, critics have pointed to the irony of Grimm’s situation.

They’re going to quietly move Gaetz to a new parish.

The real issue seems to be "why do the men want a woman to use their bathroom?"

I thought the NYTimes already had a lot of it. Or was it just evidence in the hearings?

Gaetz withdraws his attorney general nomination

Q: Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama were running a pedophile ring with Jeffrey Epstein and Joe Biden is a pedophile and the Lincoln Project are pedophiles and George Soros is a big fat pedophile

D: Hey, Matt Gaetz paid for sex with a teenage girl

Q: Whatever

that's exactly right.

No counter arguments, subject matter expertise, or career focus required... just do whatever Trump feels in the moment.   The good news for them: everything will be about destruction.  No planning or delivery required.

Look at the list. They are all awful people. Steven 'Nazi' Miller is in there (and will be in the administration). Who do you think they are being subtle about?

I think Trump's ONLY consideration for appointments is loyalty to him, no matter what.

But I'd be wary that we're being shown a very old magic trick: misdirection. Put up some obvious nonsense like Gaetz and the WWE person and let the radical left get all frothy about such an easy target - but miss that there are some other subtle nominations that are the REAL point.

I don't wish for any of these appointees. They are a case study in bad people implementing bad policy for the wrong reasons/personal gain.  But this is what the people voted for - and say they want. So let's see who is really in the club. Let's burn it all down (as Kurt likes to say), and see who is really dependent on the state for support. Let's see how the small government types do with a broken government. 

I hope Newsome and a few others can really find a way to protect his domain from the Feds, but I'm not confident. It would be nice to have a control group. We've been on this path for a long time (maybe always?). Let's stop playing at the margins and really get it out in the open.  You want a broken union, well okay. Let's just hope that the other side manages to protect a few that need it. And in a couple years we can see if anyone is interested in a correction if it's still possible.

Careful what you wish for. Gaetz is a lot smarter than he gets credit for, and than his personal behavior would indicate. He would have a few axes to grind and a free hand to wage lawfare on his (and, of course, Trump's) enemies.

heck, I say appoint him. Senate approval or not (maybe better without). This is Kurt's burn it all down strategy in action. Why mess around with kindling when you have a gallon of napalm on hand?  Let's do this dance and see where it goes.
