Isn’t she a registered foreign agent for Quatar? That should be disqualifying, but I’m sure Trump’s toadies in the senate will pass her on through. They’ll ignore the $25k bribe as well. Try finding republicans who haven’t taken bribes, raped women or trafficked kids, good luck.

Trump would never intentionally allow himself to look like a fool, even in furtherance of malign strategy. He intended the Gaetz pick and lost. Bondi was a fallback. The man is vulnerable, as is the US, to Christofascist attack. The flawed “leader” will also be cast aside for one smarter and more malevolent.

Probably better then Gaetz. What is always sad for me is to see life long professionals who for the most part lead solid careers prior to Trump just bend the knee and adopt such extreme positions and support of conspiracy theories. I can't believe we are back here once again. Sigh

So put up a super weirdo then the next less weirdo seeming but even more dangerous replacement will be a relief and glide through. The Rethugs are fellow fascists, and have a low bar which Gaetz couldn’t clear but the sociopathic Bondi will glide though. Why Reagan was so popular yet horrible - he made for a handsome, nice guy presentation, belying his inner evil. Trump never quite learned that lesson.

Nominating Gaetz also gave him a solid reason to resign from Congress and stop the ethics investigation report being released. Trump giving him an out and Gaetz doing as he's told and dropping out.

In this one case, I'm afraid I must disagree. He nommed Gaetz cuz he felt like it, not for any other reason. Subterfuge is NOT Donnie's strong suit, and even the nattering nabobs behind Donnie can't force him to make a pick if he's not all in. Nope, he MEANT to pick Gaetz especially since, as has been noted in several other places, Matty sat with DJT on his plane quite recently, chattering in his credulous ear. We all know Matty talks a good game, we all know Donnie is a sucker for a good pitch, and we all know that he'll dig in his mule heels if anyone tries to stop what HE thinks is a good idea. As tempting as it is to imagine that the doddering pustule elected by less than half the country is playing any kind of chess game here, it just isn't the case. Srsly.

Thank you, Amee! I thought this immediately. My small rant......

I sometimes am very guilty of judging a book by its cover. She, however, looks just as one would expect to see a ladder climbing (no sexual meaning) angry female who is willing to bend every conviction (literally and figuratively), ethical, moral, rules, etc. I hate that look. Many in his orbit have it.

Men have it, so I'm "discriminating", while thinking of that Gaetz look, on purpose, as she needn't have it. She has already proven, and is embedded in conflict, Trump's loyalty by her fecklessness. Please take the look off because, while Trump may, none of his "team" would insist he pick an AG nominee, due to a private plane ride, consisting of a poor impulse tag.

I forget, was it illegal migrant voters in 2020, aliens from outer space, dem dumping, mail ins, etc.? Was 2016 truly "hush money" or election interference committed, and convicted, by Trump? Maybe, he was never POTUS. Legit, like, I mean.

Using poor impulse and POTUS, in the same sentence, was hard the first go around. It is agonizing now. But, Biden is the opportunist, if I'm not mistaken. FFS. I wonder if I'll be alive when they finally get to calculating just how much money he made off COVID. Just for the record, did he mention the COVID victims, or their families and friends, while campaigning?

While FL isn't nearly as bad for overdose deaths, due mainly to opioids, all but 2 of the top ten states are TRUMP red states, both historically and in this past 24 election. Can someone explain that to the public? He sure talks about it enough. Along with Fentanyl coming mainly from China and others, not Mexico, and one thing Biden did talk to Xi about, but wasn't that Melania's gig along with bullying? Those million teddy bears are a good hiding spot. Now, the agents will be bribed, no longer needing the teddy bears, and part will go to the Trump Admin, certainly not to help overdose deaths but teddy bears may be tariffed out of the market anyway. How did this happen to us? Done ranting.

Gaetz was always a false flag IHMO, just wondering if there are any more.
