Caligula's horse Incitatus (Swift), historians say, was never really appointed to the Senate.

Which is the only appointment that would be even close to as bad as any of these.

Lawyer of alleged Gaetz victim: Release House ethics report immediately'

"Mr. Gaetz's likely nomination as Attorney General is a perverse development in a truly dark series of events," attorney John Clune wrote Thursday on X.

"We would support the House Ethics Committee immediately releasing their report. She was a high school student and there were witnesses."

Another good reason we need Public Financing of Elections... paid for by Big Corps and Big Media.

New Trump Admin Recommends Drano!

Details in Project 47

"Trump could use this power in an unprecedented way, potentially forcing Congress into a recess, then using it to make unilateral appointments, Charles Cameron, a professor of politics and public affairs at Princeton University, told Axios Thursday.

Trump's "gambit would be a gigantic delivery of power to the President," the professor said.

"This power transfer goes against senators' very DNA," he added."

Matt Gaetz Investigation Report Could Be Made Public " Here's How

These are like Vanity Picks for Trump... like Vanity Wives almost.

It shows what he thinks he can get away with. And that will be a lot, even if not everything he wants right away. But like he says, he's got another term or three in mind.

He's Testing Congress with these last few picks, daring them to not confirm the appointments and thereby receive the wrath of Lord Donald the Old and Obese... and, as and Coulter mentioned, "stupid".

And if there is one Congress can that make an inept Carnival out of the Proceedings, it's the one that gave us Mike Johnson.

The WH though, is taking a lot of the Best Idiots from the House and the Rwing Media and making sure this Circus is Entertainment... which is, apparently, what they voted for; a 1984-ish Soap Opera of Incompetents and Fools.

- To me, he seems well under qualified for the job.

McCarthy called this nomination DOA today... as Gaetz wouldn't even win the vote if it was all Republicans.

Is this right up there with Gaetz or what?

These Gifts just keep on Giving... Swing Voters are going, 'WTF did we DO!?'.

Brainworms For Everyone!!

Getting the Not As Bad As It Could Have Been candidate from the GOP is about the best we can hope for these days.

Just glad it wasn't Skeletor.

- low brow stupidity

Speaking of ShrimpDickDan....

not serious people Updated Nov. 13, 2024

"Trump Picks Dancing With the Stars Cast, Not a Cabinet Picks like Matt Gaetz, Pete Hegseth, and Elon Musk fit classic reality-show archetypes."'

Poetic Justice in action, rofl.

"McCarthy says Gaetz won't get confirmed: Everyone knows that'

McCarthy, a loyal Trump ally while serving in the House, was asked why the former president would bother tapping Gaetz if he knew the Florida Republican couldn't get confirmed.

"You can talk to [the] president, but it's a good deflection from others, but it also gives ... " McCarthy responded, cutting himself off. "I'll let it stand at that."

Pressed again for some insight into Trump's thought process, McCarthy said, "You'd have to ask the president, but Gaetz couldn't win in a Republican conference, so it doesn't matter."

Prolly because of their slim majority, they didn't want to lose even a kid trafficker.

What's hilarious is all the rwingers from the totally inept and laughable Republican House Klown Kar are now bringing their Acts to the Federal Gov.

SO, we know what to expect as we have seen it before.

- state-run propaganda

I can see you you think you are living in Mother Russia, what with all the rwing media lies you've swallowed. Which started decades ago with Limbaugh and Rupert Murdock, who have made factual reporting passe.

Just waiting for Trump to pick Tucker as Amb to Russia so you can defend that, too.

It's funny when Trumperbelle pretends that the Partys are the same after one of them has put a criminal traitor back in the WH with lies and distortions in the Media they share with Muskrat.

It's going to be in the upper 50's tomorrow night up here in Horse Country.

But yeah, prolly rain for the weekend or so.

"While the exact details of the proposed review board were unclear -- including who would serve as the arbiters of a general's leadership, though they would be appointed directly by the White House and would be veterans --

the senior uniformed military community immediately responded with concern that their commitment to avoiding politics would not be able to hold.

"The military is run by civilians, but the politics are supposed to stay outside," one currently serving Army lieutenant general told Military.com.

"It could be very hard to do our job if we have to constantly be making sure we're appeasing someone on a political or partisan level."

'

"The creation of a separate review process reporting directly to Trump that is outside of the existing job performance system could impose a chilling loyalty test --

not to the Constitution or military code, but to a president known for prioritizing personal loyalty, currently serving generals and defense officials interviewed say."

"Trump throws Senate into chaos with Gaetz and Gabbard nominations

Trump's decision to nominate Matt Gaetz and Tulsi Gabbard is the ultimate dare

There is something deeper at play here:

the vote for Gabbard and Gaetz will also be the ultimate test of loyalty for Republicans. Neither have the credentials and in many ways could compromise and damage the very institutions that they will be charged with leading.

Hawley is correct that Trump won the popular vote, something no GOP presidential candidate has achieved since George W Bush won his re-election in 2004. That gives Trump significant leverage and the ability to wield his base to bend Republicans to his will lest they deviate from his desires.

Trump's nomination of Gaetz is essentially a dare to cross him and the MAGA faithful. But it might be one that puts them in political peril."

Gates being nominated is basically
confirmation that Trump will have the
doj investigate a number of his
political adversaries

including Biden
Harris the prosecutors involved in his
four criminal cases special counsel Jack
Smith and others he wants Vengeance
against

Gaetz is extremely Pro Trump and
unquestionably he will have his
Department go after all of those who
have opposed Trump in other news

there were also reports that Trump made another
joke about serving more than two terms

this time he was speaking before the
house Republican conference and said

"I suspect I won't be running again unless
you say he's so good we got to figure
something else out"

Trump has over the
the years made multiple references to
serving more than two terms and remember

there is one verse in the Bible that
says this about the Antichrist

"he will think to change times and laws"

"He may have "engaged in sexual misconduct and illicit drug use, accepted improper gifts, dispensed special privileges and favors to individuals with whom he had a personal relationship, and sought to obstruct government investigations of his conduct," the committee said last summer.

The Department of Justice and FBI investigated Gaetz for possible sex trafficking related to the same accusations. But the case ended last year without any charges being filed.

Gaetz has repeatedly denied any wrongdoing, including ever having sex with a minor or paying for sex.

He called for the abolition of the FBI after the case against him ended."

SO... when will the Cult be able to buy, "Trump Musk, the Men's Scent, Golden God Version"?

This is the Antichrist and his False Prophet, btw... according to the old story.

"Gaetz, a five-term congressman from the Florida panhandle, is facing a House ethics probe and recently beat a federal criminal investigation into allegations that he paid underage girls for sex during drug-fueled parties and luxury vacations.

He has been among the most outspoken champions of Trump's claims that Democrats and law-enforcement officials unfairly targeted the once and future president with bogus criminal investigations, including the probes by Special Counsel Jack Smith."
