I mean, 2/3 of the house and senate have priors for sex crimes, drug crimes and embezzlement or campaign finance law breaking that gets swept under the rug, and half of them or more have been accused of hanging out in a DC brothel that operates for the sole purpose of entertaining senators and reps in town…

But everyone hates gaetz because he bragged about sleeping with girls?

I think he comes off as grating to people and immature. I think he burned bridges trying to switch up the GOP speaker when we barely had a majority and should have been focused elsewhere.

If you meet an ******* in the morning, you met an *******. If you met *******s all day, you're the *******. Hardly anyone seems to be able to stand the guy.

Plus it's not like he is some "outsider". He has spent his entire life in politics.

And every bit of this is irrelevant. 90% of the people in DC are a-holes including your boy Biden. It doesn't mean he shouldn't be confirmed. He is the choice of the new president, the one with a huge mandate. Unless there is something irrefutably illegal in his past, Republicans should vote to confirm.

JUST IN: The New Yorker report Mitch McConnell sent a message to Trump: "There will be no recess appointments."

McConnell may not be aware, but he's no longer in charge of the Senate.

But let's take Mitch at his word. Any Republican who defies President-elect Trump's nominees…

Matt Gaetz got into it with Mark Wayne Mullins over his wealth. In 2013, Mullins was worth 12 million, by 2022, he added 50 million more. How does that happen? Time to research senators

Anyone seen that documentary?

So Gaetz calls Waynemark out for his corruption and Waynemark responds by saying Gaetz shows him sexy videos on the House floor?

What are the trades by Mullin that were insider trading? If he is a criminal, he need to be arrested!


(For the record, I do not think Gaetz is a "human trafficker" as alleged and I believe he should be confirmed as Atty Gen, so lets not get into the name calling)

You'll have to ask Gaetz about that. I was simply correcting Walter for his misinformation.

No one on here has name called. Referring to a liberal as a liberal is not name calling. You are free to call me a conservative, I promise I won't get my feelings hurt.

I did not throw a flag up. I corrected you and provided the basis for that correction.

I'm not a newbie on this board. I have read your past posts. I even called you my friend.

1. The "first assistant" becomes the acting officer unless the president designates another individual from the other two eligible classes of officials. The Vacancies Act does not define "first assistant," but the term has generally been interpreted to mean the top deputy to the position.

2. The president may designate as the acting official an individual who serves in another PAS position anywhere in the federal government.

3. The president may designate as the acting official an agency employee who is paid at the GS-15 rate or above and who has been an employee of the agency for at least 90 of the past 365 days preceding the vacancy.

In March 2017, the Supreme Court ruled in National Labor Relations Board v. SW General, Inc. that the Vacancies Act generally prohibits a person from serving in an acting capacity while concurrently the nominee for the position, though there are some exceptions. The court's analysis was similar to that of the Office of Personnel Management's inspector general, who in February 2016 issued a memorandum finding that Beth Cobert's service as acting OPM director was in violation of the Vacancies Act once President Obama nominated her for the position.

I would think someone effected by the decision-making of Gaetz as AG should be able to sue since they'd be able to argue his decisions aren't lawfully since his appointment was invalid.

I said prevent it before the appointment under that particular statute.

But, there could be a defendant who could fit that niche for standing with a criminal indictment against them.

🚨🚨BREAKING News: Trump has sent word to the Senate Majority Leader Thune that if the Senate doesn't confirm AG Gaetz, he will appoint him using the Federal Vacancies Reform Act of 1998, which allows for temporary appointments for up to 210 days, with a possible 210-day… pic.twitter.com/teDMupM0VS

I think US Attorneys sign indictments. More likely to have someone that he fires or takes adverse employment action against challenge his capacity to act, I would think.

After Holder and Garland, what do Republicans have to lose? It's time to start playing hardball. What are the Democrats going to do, appoint a radical partisan hack AG next time they have the Oval Office? Please.
