not so quick, maybe you are running from something, we should look into that. We wouldnt wanna spend all that tax payer money on nothing.
Whack the mole now so it doesn’t show up somewhere else.
More like a wart
Genital wart.
We burn warts off.
Please don’t nominate him for anything else. He resigned from Congress. This could be incredibly hilarious.
Edit: and if any Democrat on the ethics committee doesn’t leak the report they should all be primaried and removed from their posts.
Note that while he resigned from this current Congress, he did get reelected to the next Congress, so he’ll still be a US rep in Florida once the session starts in late January. Just kind of an extended two month vacation really.
Maybe not, according to https://www.nytimes.com/live/2024/11/21/us/trump-gaetz-news/5e296b83-bf2f-50cc-96b8-5049b764b8a9:
Absent extraordinary events, we do not expect to see Gaetz back in the House next Congress. When he submitted his resignation to the House last week after being tapped for attorney general, he wrote: “I do not intend to take the oath of office for the same office in the 119th Congress.”
It is always possible that Gaetz can invoke the ancient privilege of “SIKE!!!” And take it all back. But then the ethics report will get released…
Unfortunately for him I mumbled “no takesies backsies” when he resigned so that’s off the table
Ah, but did Mike Johnson have his fingers crossed when he accepted Beavis’s resignation?
He’s clearly the Surgeon General of Beverly Hills.
Wouldn’t that mean the house investigation can be resumed? I don’t think he wants that.
It can be, but it won’t be
They are counting the media interest will die out. That’s why this should be released NOW not having any delays. Those are only to wait for things calming and then quietly dismissing it.
He’ll make a run for governor. DeSantis is term limited and his seat is up in two years.
he is scared of a moral report that would go public if he is part of the kabinet. so no he wont get any other positon, if he wants to try to lie the pedophelia away.
I’d imagine he won’t get nominated for anything else per se, but he’ll just be a senior advisor or some bullshit. He’ll absolutely still be in the white house, in Trump’s ear.
Resigning from the 119th congress is essentially an admission of guilt at this point. Whatever is in that report will most likely remain sealed as long as he has the cover of being a private citizen once again, which is why he turned these two opportunities down - to keep the evidence of his wrongdoing under wraps so he can’t be held accountable by either the public or the justice department.
So, Matt Gaetz is a pedophile and a child molester. And knowing the state of our shitty fucking country he’s probably going to get away with it.
as long as he has the cover of being a private citizen
Man, if you get elected into ANY government office you shouldn’t be able to be considered a private citizen.
I’m hoping against everything else that Johnson will stop protecting him because he’s now not worth anything to them now and isn’t worth the political capital to protect 🤞
I mean, #metoo took forever to come around. I like to think in some future he’ll get boned
And trafficker. I thought the qanon wanted to “save the children”?
Or is this just IOKIYAR?
How many Scaramuccis was that?
Scaramucci actually got the job, so it’s probably negative Scaramucci’s
He held the nomination for .8 Scaramuccis, and was fired 6.2 Scaramuccis before his earliest possible hire date.
Edit: Did Scaramucci math
Eighty centimooches. Great job, Gaetz!
Metric Mooches, the most disgraceful measurement of time.

Were in a new numerical realm now, the Gaetz, that count as negative Scaramuccis.
Gotta be something big to quit congress after being reelected and then decline the cabinet nomination used to justify pulling out.
This sounds like something serious. Someone should search his couches!
He quit to end the Congressional investigation. Was on his way out one way or another. This was just his attempt to fall upwards.
Maybe they’ll add him to the DOGE roster after this. You can fuck all the teenagers you want over there and nobody will complain
He quit to have this dismissed, but he could return in January since he won election. The DOJ nomination was there to distract us, why he did it.
The DOJ nomination was there to distract us
I don’t think anyone in DC gives a shit about what we think
Vance will search them for free
Paying minors for sex is hard time in prison. If evidence of such a thing became public the DOJ would essentially be forced to prosecute him. Right now they can just ignore it. Which they prefer to do because they like being employed.
Is it hard time in prison though? He trafficked them across state lines, meaning it goes to a federal court which makes it eligible for pardon
I could be wrong, but I thought it went federal soon as it crosses the border
A pardon for actual pedophilia might just be too much, even for Trump.
Hard to compare the actions of a pedophile and the Russian asset he pardoned before. But yeah, one might look worse to the public. Not like he needs to care about what the public thinks anymore.
Even dictators have to care. There isn’t a military in the world that can stop a million angry peasants.
Nah, just has to have the media to sell it so there are a million angry peasants to counter those million peasants, and most of them not able to see how they would be able to feed themselves in a week if anything actually happened.
Edit: Sorry, just being contrary today it seems.
Yeah and if I’m mad it’s not at you. The reason though that countering one crowd with another doesn’t work is that all you’ve done is create a civil war at that point. The idea for any leader is to avoid a crisis of legitimacy so bad that you have to deal with an angry mob in the first place.
To be clear, he resigned from current Congress. He was still reelected to next Congress.
He said he was not going to join the 119th Congress either in his resignation.
that house committee report must be pretty spicy for him to toss away his legislative career just to keep it from being made public.
I was not aware of that, thanks!
That would mean the report could be easily resumed or released, since he would be a current member again.
I’m sure the Republicans will shut it down because they are corrupt, but being a returning member could undermine the opposition based on him not being a current member right now.
Matt Gaetz hiding more underaged sex crimes we don’t know about
Alright Marjorie Trailer-Queen, time to nut up (🤮 sorry) and leak (it keeps getting worse) that incriminating info about your fellow GOPedo colleagues that you were so brazen about earlier
She never had any intention of releasing anything. She was trying to keep the Gaetz report from coming out.
She got a hush appointment so she won’t be talking about ethics reports anymore.
I mean okay, I mean Trump will just pick something worse. I’m more disappointed that Democrats didn’t grow a spine and just release the house report on Gatez.
I’m more disappointed that Democrats didn’t grow a spine
So you are perpetually disappointed, got it.
Yeah, pretty much.
He’s already announced his next pick. It’s Carole Baskin
/S
Weird. Either there’s a 4D chess move here, or Trump doesn’t have full control of the GOP like he wants.
That’s going to cause problems.
Or Gaetz is hoping that no further details from the ethics report leak, and he can salvage his career after this blows over. If it ever does that is.
I don’t think the GOP was honestly expecting him to win.
Or Trump just named somebody he knew would have no chance and make the Left waste energy opposing him, so that they’re more accepting of whomever he names for real.
Makes everyone takes their eyes off Tulsi, the Russian shill that is nominated for Director of fusking national intelligence
Ugh. I know I’m more accepting. And disgusted by it :(
It’s the second. Gaetz was way too inflammatory for the lesser evil tactic.
Or it’s going to prevent some of the problems…
Problems for Trump.
Not problems for a lame duck
He REALLY does not want that ethics probe released. Which means we absolutely should.
My conspiracy theory is that he wasn’t a serious contender for AG. He got the nom which allowed him to resign from Congress. This forced the ethics committee to stop investigating him because he was no longer a member.
While he was a contender for AG, the Senate pushed for the release of materials anyway. Gaetz withdrawals from consideration, making the report moot.
This has Bannon written all over it.

I forget who on the NPR politics podcast said that he would get pushed out in backroom conversations, and not on the floor of the house, she nailed it.
They don’t want the public drama and infighting, because it makes them look even more incompetent. If they’re going to push you out, they’re going to do it behind closed doors.
So, which clown is next? RFK, the WWE lady, Doctor Oz?
I heard that on the radio yesterday. They said they expected two or possibly three to withdraw because Orange Dipshit will never admit that he was wrong in choosing them.
I would imagine someone has a file on Tulsi that she wouldn’t want to get out. Things are not going great for Hegseth either. Unfortunately I think our physical education curriculum will be disproportionately based on wrestling and CMS will be run by a TV doctor
I’m not a reasonable person, but I play one on TV. Oh, wait, nope, not there either.
She’s the one I’m most concerned about, because she could do massive damage in that position. Hegseth is a clown, and I don’t think he’ll figure out how to do much of anything in DoD, and will be quietly replaced in 6-12 months.
Cool, hope he dies.
But now who will be the more dangerous but more palatable nominee that Gaetz was running a screen for?
My money is on Paxton.
I appreciate the thought you put into it, but my God that was difficult to upvote
Guiliani.
no, see, in Trump’s head, Guilliani is a loser because he couldn’t escape having his stuff taken by the law
Making way for Dog The Bounty Hunter to be nominated
Probably judge Judy
See ya Matt. More flames next time, eh…
He can pull out now. But he may have already come a little
too close to getting the job. Might have blown it.
The house could birth an investigation that spawns many problems.
Shouldn’t have been so childish.
I appreciate the effort.
Tobias, you blow hard!
