you think a republican controlled congress wont approve?

[-] blame@hexbear.net 24 points 1 week ago

[-] SerLava@hexbear.net 18 points 1 week ago

Please let something funny happen as a result of this

For the love of god, please let a couple of elder republican senators decide to make a grand gesture of pretending they weren't always just shitbag sycophants by claiming Gaetz's nomination is a step too far and blocking it as a final bow before going back to rubber stamping everything and retiring.

Trump changes his mind, appoints Marjorie Taylor Greene instead

Gaetz arrested and charged two weeks later

[-] plinky@hexbear.net 32 points 1 week ago

feds arrest him in the interbellum period

Maybe something funny happens during the parabellum period

[-] joaomarrom@hexbear.net 48 points 1 week ago

Of course he did. Good on him. It was very inconsiderate of Trump to pick him as Attorney General when he's supposed to be the Surgeon General of Beverly Hills:

wait what? Isn't there still like two months before the new administration starts? Why resign now?

[-] RedWizard@hexbear.net 47 points 1 week ago

Because he has an ethic reports incoming. If your not a member of congress though, they can't release the report officially.

that's some Yu-Gi-Oh missing the timing level of bullshit lol

The one thing Gaetz is good at is knowing how to break the law and get away with it. He defeated the FBI probe simply by picking targets and collaborators that would be difficult to use for prosecutors. This is because prosecutors now typically rise to their position involved using the weight of the state to roll over people who didnt know how to do crime. It's all a numbers game to prosecutors so they don't have enough experience dealing with the politics of criminal court, plus the fact that anyone who understands how the system works can simply set up their crimes in a way that benefits them in open court.

The sad reality is prosecutors look for perfect victims which allows imperfect victims who are often actually more vulnerable people in society to be abused at greater rates.

Remember how Democrats can't figure out why people think that rich and connected people can get away with breaking the law? They just have to look at the failure of the Biden DOJ.

My wild hunch is Gaetz did it to show 100% loyalty to Trump. It's AG or bust!

[-] FourteenEyes@hexbear.net 39 points 1 week ago

It would be really fucking funny if Trump changes his mind now

[-] VILenin@hexbear.net 9 points 1 week ago

Knowing what happens to Trump lackeys he’ll probably be in a cell by the end of February. Never thought he was gonna go to jail before but after the Trump kiss of death I’m not so sure anymore.

And so Nestor became just one step closer to executing his master plan.
