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?smid=url-share:
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
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
He REALLY does not want that ethics probe released. Which means we absolutely should.
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.
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?
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.
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.
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!
Aww this clickbait headline got me, I thought he was withdrawing from life :(
It’s gonna be my pillow guy, hulk hogan, or kid rock.
Gaetz? Pull out? First time for everything I guess...
Cool, hope he dies.
Excited to see who the next nominee will be. My money is either Don Jr. or PDiddy.
huurrr hurr hurr
And just when I thought we wouldn't be getting any positive news for 4 years.
Wait until Trump announces his replacement before labeling this as good news
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.
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.
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.
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
