Congress can't charge anyone. Do you think DoJ can be persuaded to change their mind and charge Goofy Gaetz, after all?
Maybe after the 2024 election if they come up with enough.
What other endgame could there be? Doing the right thing?
In theory, they could give him the boot now, ostensibly over the sexcapades, but in reality as Moronic Kevin McCarthy's revenge.
(Half surprised SPINO is tolerating it, Gaetz essentially put him in. It may be part of the cost of allowing him to stay in.)
"SPINO", I like it
Electing Johnson the johnson was never really Goofy Gaetz's play. He just became the accidental SPINO when all else failed, and may not feel beholden to Matt
... "Matt Gaetz (R-Botox)," journalist Peter Hamby wrote on X, formerly Twitter, while poking fun at the notation used to indicate a politician's party affiliation and the state they represent.
"Matt Gaetz looks like he's about to open a white tiger-themed magic show on the Las Vegas strip," journalist Emily Zanotti tweeted.
"Gaetz got a little carried away with the Botox before his big speech," Ron Filipkowski, editor of Medias Touch, said.
Matthew Gertz, a senior fellow at Media Matters for America who is often mistaken for the congressman online, also wrote on the social media platform, "i did not take botox please stop asking me whether i took botox."
... Others used his Wednesday appearance to criticize his position on transgender policies and opposition to drag shows.
"Using this much botox/filler is gender affirming care, btw," comedian Rohita Kadambi wrote.
"more botox than every drag queen combined mind you," LGBTQ+ activist Matt Bernstein tweeted....
Sacrificial lamb from the get-go? Even demented DonOLD had to know how unqualified and unpopular he is.
One theory: Goofy Gaetz knows that he wouldn't survive House Ethics Committee report so this non-starter of an appointment gave him an excuse to resign suspiciously rapidly while quashing the release. Johnson the johnson also announced that the report wouldn't be released suspiciously rapidly. Now, as GoCubsGo suggests other admin* roles become available.
... Domenech, a dyed-in-the-wool conservative, has gone from wunderkind blogger to a regular Fox News guest, as a co-founder of The Federalist and editor-at-large of The Spectator World. He has no shortage of conservative credentials, making his comments on Trump’s pick to run the Department of Justice particularly noteworthy....
Geraldo Rivera on Thursday shared his visceral response to President-elect Donald Trump’s nomination of the now-former Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-Fla.) as attorney general....
“I think it is a horrible, creepy choice. I have no idea why he did it,” added the former Fox News personality, who despite being a longtime friend of Trump ended up endorsing Democratic candidate Kamala Harris in the 2024 election.
Trump’s other picks are “controversial” but can be defended, Rivera continued, before pointing out that Gaetz would as attorney general have “access to the files” of the investigations into himself.
Gaetz “is the epitome of everything that is rotten in Washington” and is “privileged, entitled, backstabbing,” Rivera said later in video shared online by Mediaite....
“This is blowing up Washington D.C. and the selection particularly of Matt Gaetz to run the Justice Department is the giant F-you to the critics,” Rivera said.
Gaetz is “perennially under investigation,” “barely a lawyer” and a “clearly incompetent person,” he added....
Awww, this has been kind of fun, just as another tawdry allegation came out. I was half looking forward to more shame and humiliation when he went before the Senate.
Guess he's unemployed and has a lot of free time now.
Hide your daughters.
