But Trump does have a very strong cult of personality (weird and sick though it may be, most cults of personality are) that’s just about him. That’s something Gaetz doesn’t have, at least.
I totally agree. I can’t get worked up about Trump nominations, because the voters knew who Trump is, what company he keeps, and what he wanted to do and they still went ahead and voted for him. So if you want to blame someone, blame your neighbor yes that one with the American flag hanging from his house.
In the end, it still believe it was stabbing Kevin McCarthy in the back that doomed Gaetz. And, yes, that is related to his whole sordid sex scandal.
But the back-stabbing is what made him a pariah in Congress. And unconfirmable in the Senate.
More of that unique Trump magic!!!
I just don’t see ‘I told you so’ as a winning Democratic slogan in 2026.
Much as it should be.
It was the unfounded denials that annoyed me.
Note that Gaetz attacked the credibility of then 17 year old at a point in time when he was no longer a representative IIRC. If so, he laid himself open to a defamation suit.
Only MTG is sad. Who’s gonna play mean girls with her now?
But of course! What could be more appropriate? To them.
ETA: Sometimes it’s interesting to look at this stuff as a witch hunt in which every woman is a suspected witch.
Which is reason enough for Trump to pressure DiSantis to designate him to take over Marco Rubio’s seat. That’ll teach them fuckers in the Senate not to dare questioning the Great Leader.
Matt Withdraws… Not a bad title but over at daily Kos they’re leading with…
So many fuddy duddies on the Dem side.
I’m waiting for Durbin to say “We’ll be sending them a strongly worded letter” shortly.
Pup killer has been tapped for that.
Oh, that’s right! I forgot. Well, at least the homeland is secure from raging hordes of canines.
50 States, 50 choices.
Matt Gaetz Withdraws From AG Consideration
Too bad, so sad.
Does this also mean he will no longer grace Gym Jordan’s committee meetings with his insights and browbeating?
Both Daddy and wifey have loads of $$$. He wouldn’t notice anything at all, at least not financially.
I wonder if a personal reputation matters to the sort of person Gaetz is.
