I see. You've already subscribed to the football forum's "we have three wins at the start of the season, that means we are the best team in the SEC and automatically going to be in the MNC playoffs",.Harry Stone said:C@LAg said:

Trump doesnt need political capital. Everyone in DC is a swamp creature and they know theyll either abide or be gone next election. Dude is about to go nuclear on DC.
If you really think every Republicans who refuses to bend the knee and kiss the ring will get voted out of office, think again. Trump might be able to pick off a few of them, but most will win their primaries. If they lose the general election, then that's a different matter entirely, unless MAGA plans to vote for the Democrat out of spite.Harry Stone said:C@LAg said:

🚨Speaker Mike Johnson just said that Rep. Matt Gaetz already resigned from Congress today, meaning that the House Ethics Committee’s ongoing probe into allegations of child sex trafficking ends as does his tenure, and no report will be issued.

Here's where I get stuck…
Did Gaetz actually do as accused or was it another hoax crime?

Where there is smoke there's fire. He did something unsavory in all likelihood, whether or not it's as exactly has been accused of is anyone's guess. It sure sounds like he is trying like hell for this report to never see the light of day.

He resigned from his current term but he was elected for another term starting in January.
How does that work? If his AG nomination implodes in the next few weeks can he just show up for his new House term in January and say "I was just kidding... I'm back!"?
Maybe they are taking a flyer on Gaetz and it he doesn't get confirmed he can just take his seat back in January and it will be harder for them to say no to whoever is next.
Maybe next is DeSantis and Gaetz runs for Florida Governor after DeSantis is confirmed.
I think you're going to see resistance build such that enough R senators privately say "there's no way I'm voting for him," and then word will be discreetly passed to the Trump team to let them know that Gaetz needs to withdraw his nomination, or if they push it forward it won't pass in the Senate. That saves Trump the embarrassment of a rejection and allows him to get another pick moving forward.David_Puddy said:MemphisAg1 said:

Help me understand here….2 no votes from Rs & Trump has to make another selection?
With Matt Gaetz at Justice, there won’t be anything left for Elon Musk or Vivek Ramaswamy to do.

Thank you! Very valuable info.Quote:
Florida statute requires a special primary election before a special election. The Governor sets the timeframe for when it should be held. The only time limitations I'm seeing is there has to be a deadline 14 days before the election to qualify for the primary and 14 days between the primary and general election.
at this point take the loss and move on.45-70Ag said:With Matt Gaetz at Justice, there won’t be anything left for Elon Musk or Vivek Ramaswamy to do.

Using a prostitute is not sex trafficking. It is solicitation and is the world's oldest profession. I hated those dumb ass cases as a prosecutor and punted them as fast as I could.Aggie97 said:Tom Fox said:What are the specific allegations related to sex trafficking?McInnis 03 said:MemphisAg1 said:

The main issue with Matt Gaetz is that he used his office to prosecute his political opponents and authorized federal agents to harass parents who were peacefully protesting at school board meetings.
