Gaetz resigned from House, effective immediately. News reports saying Ethics Committee was about to release its report on Gaetz. So, as someone said earlier, he had nothing to lose.

Seems possible this also may be to deflect attention from nominations of Gabbard and Hegseth.

That’s OK I voted for Ted Kennedy on multiple occasions only because the Republicans in the state couldn’t put up a worthy contender.

This nomination of Gaetz for AG — whether or not he is confirmed — underscores that my fears of what Trump might do if returned to power were legitimate. They are being realized.

No, I was wondering if you had finally found a line you wouldn't cross. Guess there is one, but the definition shall always be mysterious.
 
See, you're putting your own spin on my response.  Accusing me of being evasive (mysterious)  Looking to find out if I had a line that should not be crossed.  And then you would go on to say, well if you say this about X, then it would also have to apply Y.  And then you would focus in on any inconsistencies that you find or create out of thin air.

You really do think that I am dumber than a box of rocks.

I simply do not trust you to be honest with me at any level.

That nomination might be a landmine for Gaetz. He'd have to be confirmed (unless if it were a recess appointment although I'm hazy on that) and the Dems would bring up all the alleged criminal activity. And then if Gaetz actually got the job, he'd have to work a lot harder than he does now. 

Why not take the pre-emptive pardon from Drumpf and keep playing in the background? 

No position for Marjorie Taylor Greene? Oh cruel world. 

All this makes America look like the crisis point in a bad Batman movie.

With an authoritarian everything is a loyalty test. He is nominating the most unqualified sycophantic clowns to see which Republicans in Congress dare to oppose him.

Genuinely curious as to why? For me it's the credible sexual assault allegations, but then that would also disqualify others.

So far he's doing exactly what he said he would do. None of it seems to be hyperbole. Wonder if anyone will ever admit to buyers remorse. Wonder how strong the institutions are...
