Why bother to clean up your house of weirdos before pointing fingers?  You really need me to tell you why?  Glass houses and all that.

Trump gets to nominate who he wants, even weirdos like Matt Gaetz. When they can’t get through the nom process because Republicans say no this isn’t somehow the Dems problem.

Why don’t you read through this dope’s posts and get back to me.

I was commenting on the exchange where you called Trump's picks a "collection of weirdos", then ESAC posted a pic of appointees by Biden which looks like the cast from Portlandia, and you called him a total dipshit.

We've established back in the Walz/Vance discussion that you fundamentally don't understand what us normies consider "weirdo", so maybe it's just that?

Wherever  there are innocent people, there are always liberal politicians around trying to put them on trial for whatever made up charges are in their heads that day.

Oh the dude who has spent the last 3 months ending every post with me “I’ll let you have the last word” wants to be taken seriously. I see! 

For your real important question - yeah Matt Gaetz sex party enthusiast, who pays off underage people he had sex allegedly with is a weirdo. Perhaps a piece of shet is more accurate here.

That he was the pick of all the people in the country for the face of our criminal justice system was a nice touch by our future Prez. Some might call it weird even.

Take this for what it's worth, and there are certainly several similar people on "my side" -- you are very much a "last word guy."  When I see threads extended by one or more pages by two people trying to get the last word in, I don't find that riveting discussion, and just start fapping my scroll wheel.  JMO.

If that was your point, and not a weirdo-off, then we can leave it at that.  Or you can even have the last word!

Matt Gaetz’s failed nomination is a prime example of how Trump always arrogantly over-plays his hand. He doesn’t think things through. That was a trend throughout his presidency. His impulsive, foolish moves provide openings for his opposition. He’s not as strong as he seems.

Who’s that guy? He just fall Out of a tree?

Newbie?  I haven't noticed it but I'll pay attention.

Back before Newbie went totally TDS psycho, wishing actual death on Trump (I like to think he went to therapy at that point) -- he got suspended multiple times, and like similar characters here, he came back with various aliases, trying to post differently to throw people off the scent.  But like those folks today, their true posting style always eventually comes through.                                                                                                                    

[Hardcore troubadour 15,424]

Having to get in the last word is a cry for validation and acknowledgement. The General fits the description. 

[Voltaire 5,316]

Gaetz was phenomenal in his questioning while on the Judiciary committee. It was really impressive. I figured all the allegations against him were a smear campaign since they'd gone on forever and Garland's hyper partisan Justice Department never charged him with anything. Maybe not. I'd not realized the House had been investigating him too. Also, Markwayne Mullen is a reliable source with no reason to throw Gaetz under the bus and yet he had some disturbing things to say.  Not every piece of smoke blown by the Democrats comes from a smoke machine. There may well be something there.

Hopefully Trump finds somebody just as tenacious but with a cleaner personal history.

[thegeneral 3,209]

Getting the last word is kind of how the convo works on an old school message board. If you want to respond you do, if you don’t you don’t. 

This place is like 90% people repeating each other.

I enjoy the various guesses

I wouldn’t bother setting up an alias. I am still shocked anyone gets suspended here.

I'm not doing anything right now and retirement is sometimes boring.  I'd be willing to do the job if I was guaranteed total autonomy from Trump.  What I would not want to be is Mike McCarthy to Donald Trump's Jerry Jones.

 

What does the job pay?

 

Ans- $221,000.  A pay cut for me from my last job.  Maybe the benefits would offset that.

Nope, I'm going to pass if the job is offered.  On balance simply not worth it.  I am willing, though, to consider an ambassadorship to a south pacific island nation if the position comes with an official home with servants of the nubile female variety and with the ability to fly into and out of countries with full dipomatic immunity in my person and my "diplomatic pouch"  which would never be filled with Peruvian Marching Powder.  (Basically I'm Matt Gaetz without the smarmy face and with the self control to wait for young women to turn 18 and to consent without financial remuneration.

At least he gave the matter plenty of thought.

I don’t know too much about her. I know she’s really MAGA and was the Florida AG (which at least makes her more qualified than Gaetz.) She appears to have bought into the whole 2020 was stolen scam but I guess that’s a requirement these days.

Same for me, for much of my career.

It amazes me how low salaries are for these positions, yet we expect "good" people to do these jobs -- in this case, the chief prosecutor of the US -- getting paid less than a lawyer writing patents in a 9 to 5 cushy job.  Anyone who takes them on, does so with expectation of future grift to make real money.

Also, you get what you pay for.  In AZ, state reps make less than a Starbucks barista.  Then we are surprised when they pass stupid laws.  Every time a pay raise is proposed for our reps I vote for it, and every time it fails.  People don't understand this concept.

Gaetz to Florida Senate

I just moved to Florida a year ago and don't know much about her. I'll just have to trust Trump's instincts. He's been picking great candidates all along, hopefully this is another.
