My god, I am actually shocked how many smart people on this website think the Gaetz nomination is some clever ploy to get him out of Congress or set up a second, less extreme nomination.
Are you guys still this thick? Trump picked Gaetz because the first time he was elected his own FBI and DOJ investigated him, and then after he left office Biden's DOJ investigated him, and he wants to stick it
to the "deep state" and get a loyalist inside a department that has "wronged him" for eight years.
This isn't complicated. That's his view. He is throwing the grenade in to see what happens. This is how he governs, for better or worse.
Do I think Gaetz gets through? I have no idea. Probably not. But Trump is DEFINITELY going to try. He is not tee'ing Gaetz up to get thrown out and he's not just going to fold the nomination because freaking Susan Collins feigns upset. I can't believe we are still doing this, genuinely. It would be an incredible coup for him to have someone like Gaetz leading the DOJ. He's going for it.
This isn't a ploy. It's not chess. He's showing you his move and saying "bring it." He's testing the boundaries. They will appoint him if they can. Same with Tulsi and Hegseth.
I can’t comprehend why any living human would be surprised at a single one of trumps picks. Elect a clown expect a circus. Is Matt Gaetz atrocious and dangerous? YES! SO IS TRUMP! DUH
Did we think the convicted felon who half the country voted for would fill his administration with upstanding citizens who just happen to be conservative?

Maybe if Boomers and elder Gen X had focused on voting for policies that benefitted their children rather than themselves, they could have had grandchildren. They pulled up the ladder behind them and expected us to keep climbing.

As a former CIA case officer, I saw the men and women of the U.S. intelligence community put their lives on the line every day for this country — and I am appalled at the nomination of Tulsi Gabbard to lead DNI. (1/3)

It’s ok to log off and find some peace instead of arguing with very-online people about future elections. There’s so much work ahead of us. You don’t have to fight fires on a platform designed to make you mad. Take a nap. Go outside. Be with friends. Let hate sit alone.

I gotta admit being a millennial is really confusing right now. I did not expect we would be the best at seeing through disinfo & not getting radicalized

the problem with deporting immigrants isn’t that it would hurt the economy but that immigrants are created in the image of god and should be treated as such

My hottest (& saddest) take is that American evangelical Christianity — which I know like the back of my hand & believed more fervently than maybe any teenager in history — isn’t worth saving.
It is ruined, and it is ruining America.

One thing is abundantly clear today: Far too many Christians in the United States don’t have the slightest clue what loving their neighbor practically looks like.
Hey @POTUS and @SenSchumer you hear this???
Joe Biden will be president until noon on January 20. The Democrats will have the Senate until January 3. Both need to step up to the plate. Biden needs to flood aid and weapons to Ukraine, pushing the envelope on his legal authority. The Senate needs to work night and day to confirm every judge to district and appeals courts where openings exist.

Mr Biden,
I need you to stand up, straighten your back and make some things shake before your departure

Two of the most qualified women in the country ran for president against an unqualified, racist game show host who had a history of committing fraud and sexual abuse. And the country was basically split 50-50. That should tell us some things.

If they had a lick of sense and an ounce of bravery they would go scorched earth in these final months. Lost the presidency and the senate? Just do it. But I don’t think they have it in them.

Really feels like bomb threats in Arizona, Georgia, Georgia, Michigan, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin on Election Day should be a bigger story

please keep the “we survived him once, we will do it again” tweets in the drafts or better yet delete them. millions of people did not in fact survive him, and millions more will not survive him again.
