A very large number of people voted against Harris and the Democrats. We did not vote "for" Trump.Rossticus said:aggiehawg said:Aw crap! My worst fears confirmed. Boris has run off a lot of Trump's best lawyers in the last few years. And end round running Susie Wiles in the process?TRM said:
They most definitely do not have their ducks in a row on this.
Trump gonna Trump. Love it. Embrace it. It's who he's always proven to be. He's not going to change.
At this point it's what we all voted for. Just gotta trust him.
He was unfortunately the only other option.
"If you will not fight for right when you can easily win without blood shed; if you will not fight when your victory is sure and not too costly; you may come to the moment when you will have to fight with all the odds against you and only a precarious chance of survival. There may even be a worse case. You may have to fight when there is no hope of victory, because it is better to perish than to live as slaves." - Sir Winston Churchill
Also, do you really believe everything like this that is posted? If so, I bet you also believe legaldrugpusher and all his "insider knowledge"1836er said:Except that this time... he's going about it TOTALLY DIFFERENT from last time.rgag12 said:TRM said:

I agree that swamp Rino's are all mad. Their days are numbered hopefully. People on here that are upset that Gaetz threw a wrench in Mc Carthy's shoe in speakership must love Cornyn and the go along to get along R s that have not been working for their voters, but for the dems. It is time to clean up and Gaetz will help with that.

If you actually read what people on this board think about Gaetz, you would see we don't agree with cornyn. We simply think Gaetz hasn't show the level head, strategy first approach to cleaning anything up. He tends to go off but not get anything done.
Hopefully he can work on that apparent weakness

Both are meh.
Prostitution has always been around and should be legal. And we are stupid for infantilizing 17, 18, and 19 year olds. They are the backbone of our fighting forces and all throughout history have been married and bearing children.
Something about young love hooking up is understandable, whereas an older guy preying on an underage female is creepy and downright wrong.
Edit: Just curious what age gap do you think is appropriate for a 17, 19, 21, or 25 year old?
17 year olds are children. Not legally but they're still children. It's gross and there are character issues for a man over the age of thirty being with one.
They are literally not children
Dude, teen age girls have been marrying older established men for 99.9999999999oo999% of all cultures in world history. In all likelihood the vast majority of relationships in the Bible were exactly like this.
It's generally considered taboo today but our current cultural perspective is the exception, not the norm.
"You are being watched..."
Just checking back in on the glorious wailing.

I'm sorry, but why am I supposed to believe there is any morsel of truth to this whatsoever?
Because it was posted on the internet, and it fits a certain narrative for some, well then it must be true???
Yeah, okay…some of yall never learn…
You have to admit that everything happened very very quickly with Gaetz getting the nod and then quitting his current seat, later on.
People being very confused about what the end goal was, what the strategy was to get to that goal and the execution of that strategy. Had a hodgepodge feel to it as it was happening. Did not feel like a well thought out plan.
Gaetz may come out and explain it better but right now, it does appear to have credibility as a possibility. Would be happy to be proven completely wrong on this.

Normally, when you belong to a professional organization and have an ethics complaint filed against you, you can't skirt it by resigning; the investigation goes on. Some will allow to you resign as long as you promise to never apply for reinstatement.

It's been 3 hours since this tweet…where's the leak?
And if something is "leaked", how do we know it's THE report?
And if it is THE report, how do we know the "evidence" in there isn't as valid as the Steele Dossier?
Again, some of yall are so hungry to see someone fail, you'll believe anything that fits your narrative…
If Gaetz gets the job, goes in and does a good job reorganizing the department, that would be fine by me, but that appears to be a huge longshot. Nothing in his background suggests that he's ready to manage an operation of this size, not to mention the complex issues the AG is confronted with from time to time. Gaetz is a PR guy at heart, and I just have a hard time seeing that being the right approach unless he were to hire some deputy with ninja like qualities who essentially runs the department and covers his shortcomings.aggiehawg said:

With the way Charlie Kirk and others have been playing up the cabinet announcements leads me to believe they had foreknowledge of them. Kirk even going so far as to say the old "I can neither confirm or deny" line as a way of a wink wink about some wave making announcements. Things are not being handled in a way we have seen before. Not sure what to expect but I think there actually is a plan. YMMV

Or it could have been done specifically to catch certain people off guard…
Or it could have been done as a strategy to get them to balk at Gaetz so they could get someone else controversial in (maybe a Paxton, but that's speculation)…
Or it could have been a warning shot aimed right at the criminals who have been using lawfare against their enemies that they need to GTFO (resign/retire) before someone like Gaetz, with an ax to grind, is in position to come after them…
We literally have no evidence of anything, yet so many are wanting to accept any theory posted on the internet as "the truth" because they are wish-casting failure for Gaetz, Trump, or even both…

I thought the quick resignation was to comply with Florida election laws?
I have no doubt they will do exactly as Jack Smith's thugs did and release very selective information, framing it in the worst way possible for Gaetz. It's what the swamp does.FireAg said:will25u said:REPORT: The “damaging” ethics report on Matt Gaetz is set to “leak” soon.

Pretty much where I am with all of this…
Too many folks are treating this like status quo…
This election was anything BUT status quo…
They've tried to lawfare and impeach Trump away, and when they couldn't do that, they tried to kill him…
He literally has beaten EVERYTHING they've thrown at him, and it is unprecedented in American politics…
Team Trump knows they have an unprecedented mandate, especially in light of everything he has had to endure, and because of that, I believe they are taking this unique opportunity (with great assistance from Elon Musk, who sure seems like he's shaping up to be the anti-Soros) to rewrite the rules and change the battlefield…

Maybe but playing that out to its logical procedural conclusion, the differnce between the current term of Congress with the next term beginning on Jan 3, 2025 would appear to not allow for sufficient time to call, hold, and count a special election before Trump's inauguration on the 20th.Quote:

Then there is the House Ethics report on him. Did that also play a role in that decision to step down now? If so, that was naive that it wouldn't be leaked to the press anyway.
Maybe there is some method to the madness and I can't see yet but still trying to connect the dots that make sense. No idea what is going on right now. And that makes me nervous.

That's my point. He shouldn't bypass his chief of staff on a pick this controversial. She is good for him, if he'll allow her to be.
They've lied about him consistently.
Exactly.
All we have is someone named Meridith telling Politico that an unnamed Trump team member said Trump made this decision on the plane without talking to his Chief of Staff AND then announcing it publicly presumably without talking to her about it first.
I call BS.
And not being able to easily connect the dots might just be exactly what Team Trump wants…
Everyone out of the loop is out of the loop on purpose…
Here's what makes me think there is way more here than meets the eye:
Johnson re-elected Speaker without even a whimper from the Feeedom Caucus…
Thune become Maj Leader without much suspense or fanfare at all…
And BOTH were done quickly, and AFTER Trump met with Rs in both chambers…
THAT is why I think all of this is orchestrated…
Could I be wrong? Sure…but those are the tea leaves I see…

On what basis? No one has been able to say how that would work. Personally, I don't trust the state of Florida to royally **** this up, and the special election gets tossed because the governor didn't have the power to call for a special election when he did. And then you have to start over, wasting more time.1836er said:Speaker Johnson literally said this on TV yesterday.

Congratulations to the Floridians being appointed to key positions in the Trump Administration: Senator Marco Rubio, Congressman Matt Gaetz, and Congressman Mike Waltz.

I've instructed Secretary of State Cord Byrd to formulate and announce a schedule for the upcoming special…
So Walz's seat does not need to be vacant yet, I assume?
Well, technically, Johnson hasn't been re-elected Speaker yet. He's the nominee for it that the Republicans will put forward.FireAg said:

Still a lot can happen between now and the actual House vote on it. But to your point, yeah, I never would have bet on that being as unanimous and quiet as it appeared.
oh no said:

Yup…because it fits the narrative they've created in their minds…
Because there isn't a current vacancy (there is, but it's for the term that expires on 1/3/3025). I've also said before that there could be some arcane law that allows a special election to be called when the person elected chooses not to serve. But I haven't seen it.

The Supervisor of Elections in Duval County told News4JAX on Thursday it is working on where, when and how people will vote, as well as what it will cost.
"It depends a lot on how close they are to other congressional districts, how they will align with who's going to run for them," Supervisor of Elections Jerry Holland said.
Holland has his eyes on what Trump is doing, and Florida has been Trump's go-to spot to fill out his administration.
