He'd never pass an SSBI to get a clearance.

Desantis will likely appoint him to the open senate seat from Florida.

This would be great news if the ICC had the power to actually do something and arrest these criminals. As it is they just have slightly limited vacation options.

They paid for very different things. Trump paid hush money, Gaetz paid for underage sex.

It is almost unbelievable to me that something so essential is only made in a few places. This kind of stuff should have smaller scale manufacturers in every region of the country. Competition is good and if one bad storm can knock out 60% of our production imagine what a war might do.

The constitution and first amendment are obviously meaningless to Christians.

They have used them already according to NPR this morning. Russia is weak.

In a sane world none of those people would make it through the Senate's confirmation process. Spineless Democrats will almost certainly let it happen though.

What's anybody going to do about it?

So far they have chosen to angrily tweet about it. Spinless fools.

from the article: The House Ethics Committee was in the final stages of its investigation into Gaetz over allegations of sexual misconduct and illicit drug use when Trump announced he picked him to lead the Justice Department, according to three sources familiar with the investigation.

Those sources told ABC News the committee was preparing to meet this week to deliberate over whether to release a final report on the matter.

House Speaker Mike Johnson announced later Wednesday that Gaetz offered his resignation from Congress effective immediately. With his resignation, the House Ethics Committee no longer has the jurisdiction to continue its investigation into him.

This will almost certainly be the funniest thing I hear about all day.

He did it because leaving stops the sex trafficking investigation of him. An investigation launched by his own party by the way.

Gaetz's resignation also ends the House Ethics Committee investigation into his alleged misconduct, including accusations of sex trafficking.

The house ethics committee will drop its investigation as soon as the senate confirms him and he gives up his seat.

We're so f'ed.

More: Last summer, Kristen and Eric Rezabek were feeling pinched. Eric was considering taking on a four-hour commute for higher paying jobs, while Kristen, who works two jobs, planned to add a full day to her already full-time work schedule to help cover their family's expenses.

Then, their employer presented a unique offer: an extra paid day off every week, to use however they chose.

"This was definitely a solution to value our time better, which gives us more options," Eric said.

The couple, who live with their two children on San Juan Island in Washington state, both work for San Juan County, made up of a small network of islands north of Seattle. Their union had been negotiating raises for its employees, but the county was strapped for cash and couldn't afford to boost salaries beyond a small cost of living increase.

Instead, they agreed upon a 32-hour workweek, in which employees retain their full-time positions with benefits but can enjoy reduced hours and schedule flexibility.

"There are lots of methods to provide employee benefits," County Manager Jessica Hudson said. "As long as you're open to different solutions, you might find a different way of doing things that allows you to keep wonderful talented employees, even if it's not a direct pay raise."

The county has now completed its first full year of the new schedule and released a report on its findings Tuesday evening. San Juan County touted a host of positive outcomes " from recruiting to retention to employee happiness " and a cost savings of more than $975,000 compared to what the county would have paid if it met the union's pay increase demands.

Is there an echo in here?

Why would you think the Trump camp cares about qualifications?

The more powerful republicans he gets to leave elected office so he can use and later discard them from his cabinet the better.

Soccer fans got into a fight? This is somehow new?

If you hook an air fryer up to the internet you deserve to be spied on.

Many, hopefully none, of these people that are being suggested for various rolls in the cabinet have much chance of being confirmed by the senate.

Same thing happened last election and then, at the time, Democrat and massive "see you next Tuesday" Tricia Cotham changed her party affiliation and screwed over everyone that voted for her. Then they gerrymandered her a safe new district and she won again last night.

That's the point of the rule.
