I was not in favor of the Gaetz nomination from the start. I'm actually glad he withdrew and did so quickly so the Trump transition can move on. The focus needs to be on the outcomes and results; not digging in over personal favorites.
I must admit, despite living in Florida, I know nothing whatsoever about Pam Bondi. I just hope she will be as capable -- if not more so -- than Gaetz to enact the critical reforms the DOJ desperately requires.

11. Gaetz bows out. Arguably the worst cabinet pick in the history of the republic. In a rare show of bipartisanship both Democrats and Republicans hated his guts. Most of the Cabinet selections by the Obama and Biden administrations are far worse. I will cite suspect #1: The Despicable Eric Holder. (Garland is in the same lap, however). Who knows. As AG, Gaetz may have proved to be a paragon of legal competence, even-handedness, administrative ability and moral rectitude. But as a deserving nominee, the choice was ridiculous. Gaetz’ qualifications weren’t even in the same hemisphere as those of either Holder or Garland or anyone else in memory. As one congressman put it upon hearing that Gaetz was the pick: “Are you shitting me?” |

Gaetz’ withdrawal was not due to a felony conviction (there was none) nor the machinations of a leftist cabal (that’s onemizzou’s fevered imagination in overdrive) but rather the general consensus - on both sides of the aisle - that Gaetz is an inexperienced, unqualified sleazeball unfit for the position of AG (a conclusion unsusceptible to serious debate). When even a reliable Trump mouthpiece like the New York Post has been pleading with the President-elect to dump Gaetz, MAGAworld should realize this was a disastrous choice that stood reason and common sense on its head. Isn't your opinion of Gaetz skewed by these claims? If anyone believes that our current AG is any better with his "qualifications" then they are ignoring what is happening across this country. Which claims? The credible evidence that he participated in sex parties with teenagers, sent them thousands of dollars, and then bragged about his prowess to fellow members of Congress?…his pitifully meager legal experience?…his threats to blow up various government departments and agencies if they didn’t come to “heel”?…his inability to develop constructive relationships with the majority of his colleagues who despised him? Yes, matters such as these affected my opinion of Gaetz. Did they not affect yours? |

The credible evidence that he participated in sex parties with teenagers, is that the evidence the extremely partisan Sundownder/Sidepiece DOJ investigated for 18 months and didnt find enough to charge? |

Oh come on you know nothing but accusations are enough for the leftist crowd and their allies. I would ask cardiological to post a link to said evidence but he will not do that, so it's a waste of time. people like cardiological don't like Gaetz for one reason he wants to shrink and to bring to heal the government they so love. People like cardiological and nano2 want to ruled by a all powerful government since they need limits like children and cannot handle freedom. |

Instead, you posts the claims of those who most likely were trying to blackmail him. Explain why he was not arrested if there were evidence. |

Instead, you posts the claims of those who most likely were trying to blackmail him. Explain why he was not arrested if there were evidence. If the teenager with whom he ostensibly had sex - there was eye witness testimony - was not underage, or there was a reasonable belief she was at least eighteen, and it was difficult to prove payments were for sex, then a criminal prosecution would be highly problematic. That doesn’t mean he’s not a sleazebag engaging in behavior which shouldn’t be part of an AG nominee’s resume’. If it’s all a lie then defend yourself before the committee with the senators having full access to the ethics report. But, as noted, there were other reasons why he was a lousy choice in addition to the foregoing. Again, when even the New York Post has urged Trump to dump Gaetz, you know it’s a bad pick. |

Don't you see the problem with your assertion? I would be just as accurate saying that there was not any evidence that anything happened and this incident was made up to blackmail Gaetz. Again, my problem with your position or any on the left is that Gaetz is guilty until proven innocent. That is not how our system is supposed to work. For the left, if claims involve anyone on the right, the left proceeds without real evidence. |

Oh I see the scumbag cardiological is going with the "guilt until proven innocent" method like good little Soviet.
