Gaetz Gives Up
Matt Gaetz announced today that he has withdrawn his name from consideration to be the next attorney general of the United States. It seemed his nomination had a minor problem.
Sorry, but it's almost impossible not to treat the whole sordid story as a joke. Gaetz was a completely laughable candidate from the start, so it's hard not to have a few final laughs as he exits. After all, the nomination of Gaetz didn't even last a full Scaramucci!
Kidding aside, I do have to wonder whether this was the plan all along. From the start, there was speculation that this was all very conveniently timed to allow Gaetz to escape what is reportedly a very damning report from the House Ethics Committee being made public. If Gaetz hadn't been nominated, this report likely would have been released last Friday. Gaetz reportedly has plans to run for Florida governor in 2026, and it would be easier for him to do so if the report stays buried.
Immediately after he was nominated, Gaetz resigned his House seat. This is unusual -- most politicians would have held onto a House seat until they were fully confirmed by the Senate. But after Gaetz resigned, he was no longer a sitting House member -- and thus the Ethics Committee had no jurisdiction over him any more. So they would have no need to release the conclusions of their investigation into Gaetz. The timing of it all seemed more than a little fishy, in other words.
Donald Trump reportedly was talked into nominating Gaetz during a plane ride the two took together last week. It is entirely plausible that Gaetz laid the whole plan out to Trump and got Trump to go along with it. "Nominate me, I'll resign from the House, the report will be buried, then I will withdraw my name and you can nominate the person you really want in there -- and I'll go replace Ron DeSantis!" That's the sort of thing Trump might find amusing, you've got to admit.
Gaetz raised his profile in the MAGA universe with the nomination, but he drew all kinds of scrutiny in the process. He may not care -- these days absolutely nothing seems to be an automatic disqualification for any ambitious Republican politician. And he certainly was the center of attention for a whole week.
So what happens now? It's unclear, at this point. Gaetz has a number of paths he could choose to take right now. The first would be unprecedented, and it's unclear whether it'd even be legal or not: Gaetz could decide to just go back to the House. He did resign his seat, but he also was re-elected to that seat in the recent election. In his resignation letter he stated: "I do not intend to take the oath of office for the same office in the 119th Congress," but he could always try to take that back. Whether he could get away with such an audacious move would be up to his fellow Republicans, both in his home state and in the House. Would they allow him to retake his seat or would they push back on the idea? At this point, that is unknown -- but he could always try.
There's a second possibility some have suggested, but it wouldn't entirely be up to Gaetz. Marco Rubio is going to become secretary of State, which will leave a Senate vacancy for the Florida governor to fill -- so Gaetz could try to talk DeSantis into naming him to Rubio's seat. There's already some jockeying going on by some Florida Republicans for the seat, but the decision is entirely up to DeSantis. I consider this one to be a longshot, though, since I think it's pretty farfetched to think DeSantis would do so -- even if Trump pressured him to.
The third possibility is the one people suspected from the start -- Gaetz goes back to Florida and immediately begins his 2026 gubernatorial campaign. He's certainly checked off the "name recognition" box already, right? And DeSantis is term-limited, so he can't run again. Whether Florida voters would elect him is an open question, but Gaetz certainly could try to convince them.
The fourth option is that Gaetz retires from being a politician and perhaps takes some cushy rightwing media job (or just retires quietly to Florida). Gaetz could just fade away from the political scene, or comment on it from the sidelines.
Now that Gaetz has withdrawn his name from consideration for the nation's top legal official, it is doubtful the public will ever see that Ethics Committee report. If his nomination had gone forward, some Senate Republicans likely would have either demanded to see it or just called all the witnesses in to testify in his confirmation hearing. At least four GOP senators were already saying they were going to vote against Gaetz, so it was really just a question of whether or not they aired his dirty laundry in public before ultimately turning him down.
Gaetz was doomed to fail, that much seems certain. What he does next is anyone's guess, but the only other thing that seems certain right now is that the title of "Sleaziest House Sleazebag" will now be open. This dishonor was bestowed on Gaetz after Madison Cawthorn (remember him?) lost his bid for re-election, but now it will be wide open once again. There is no shortage of candidates for the title among the Republican ranks, so it will be interesting to see who emerges as the most embarrassing sleazebag moving forward.

You write as if the House committee's report is now buried for the ages, but I wonder.
All this past week there was speculation among the commentariat that someone would sooner or later leak it, no matter how illegal that might be, in order to torpedo his Attorney General nomination.
And just because he's no longer the nominee, he still may be looking at another political position, or a media one -- as you write. He's still a hateful politician who ought to be run out of town.
So I will be surprised if that infamous report doesn't materialize in some readable and reputable form in the next few weeks, in an effort to truly put a spike in the ghoul's heart.
did George sent us award for self-service?
Good God, I really have to stop using voice to text.
George Santos award for self service
Besides owning the Libs I think Gaetz was a trial balloon throwaway nomination designed so that some incompetent nominees like Hegseth and MacMahon don’t catch as much scrutiny aka Senate Republican opposition.
If Gaetz hadn't been nominated, this report likely would have been released last Friday.
Exactly. Isn't it very telling that Gaetz first sought a pardon from Trump when he was being investigated by Trump's DOJ, and now he's resigned and wants this report hidden from everyone? Rhetorical question. Because if that House Ethics Committee's report of the investigation of into Gaetz had actually exonerated him of the allegations that he sexually trafficked a 17-year-old minor, you just know that he'd have it laminated and plastered to that ginormous billboard-like butt head of his.
Hehehe... "butt head."
Which begs the question: Is it just me or did anyone else ever notice that Matt Gaetz has an uncanny resemblance to the cartoon character Butt-Head?
there's been quite a bit of rumor floating around that despite his protestations to the contrary, the gaetz nomination was absolutely a distraction, and was always intended as such. after gaetz, is anyone even raising the slightest concern about Pam Bondi? well-played, Donald.
it's been donald's playbook for twelve years after all - propose something SO insane that it garners lots of press, and then by comparison his next insane suggestion seems downright reasonable and low-key.
JL,
there's a real issue within the fake issue, and that's what makes it hard to parse.
Your words of wisdom would be a LOT easier to understand if you provided some context..
I'm just saying. :D
Especially given all the off topic verbal diarrhea from the 2-Cell Brain Weigantian Trolls. :D

As I said.. President ELECT Trump plays 12-D chess while Demon'rats are playing tiddley winks.. :D
President ELECT Trump's choice for AG puts Demon'rats' claim of Trump being a misogynist in the sewer where it belongs..
Funny how this "misogynist" keeps showing Demon'rats exactly how to place women in powerful positions..
Seems Demon'rats would NEVER think to put as woman as a Presidential Chief Of Staff or as US AG...
Demon'rats are such misogynists... :D
Well, damn.. Was looking forward to that Not Science Trans commentary today.. Guess I must have scared CW off about the subject.. :D
I see Retarded Russ was flailing around trying to come up with an argument for the facts that he totally disregarded..
There are a TON of factual reports about girls getting injured by men cosplaying as women in girls sports.. Of course Retard Russ ignores the facts because they totally decimated his hysterical Demon'rat argument..
Men cannot be women simply by saying "I am a woman." Men cannot be women by surgery or drugs.. It's simply NOT within the realm of modern science..
Women cannot be men simply by saying "I am a man." Women cannot be men by surgery or drugs.. It's simply NOT within the realm of modern science..
These are the facts that no amount of Demon'rat "science" or Demon'rat hysteria will change..
"These are the facts of the case. And they are undisputed."

Looks like Demon'rats are STILL getting all their panties in a twist. :D
“Harris spent far more than Trump, with way less bang for the buck. Despite her significant financial advantage, Ms. Harris became the first Democratic presidential candidate to lose the national popular vote in two decades, ceding every battleground state to Mr. Trump. Her cash-rich campaign spared no expense as it hunted for voters — paying for an avalanche of advertising, social-media influencers, a for-hire door-knocking operation, thousands of staff, pricey rallies, a splashy Oprah town hall, celebrity concerts and even drone shows. The money burn made Democrats wonder whether investing in celebrity-fueled events with stars such as Lady Gaga and Beyonce was more ostentation than effective.”

Token DEI Hire Headboard Has Been Hooker Harris went thru 1.5 BILLION DOLLARS in just a 15-week campaign!!!
And not only LOST in EVERY Swing State, but also lost the POPULAR VOTE!!!
BBBBWWWAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
And YOU people thought she could actually WIN!??? THAT'S hilarious!!! :D
And of course, there was the Headboard Has Been Hooker/Liz Cheney mash-up that was a total joke!!! :D
“Unfortunately, while many Democratic tacticians were enthusiastic about Cheney’s jumping on board as a Harris backer, Republican voters couldn’t have cared less. The Cheney strategy was an abject failure that added few if any votes to the Democratic total, alienated voters who have no taste for the former GOP representative’s neocon extremism, and stole precious time from an agonizingly short campaign schedule.”
-John Nichols, THE NATION
Headboard Has Been Hooker Harris' campaign was a JOKE from start to finish.. NO ONE with more than 2 brain cells to rub together actually thought Harris would win!!

the fake issue is genetic women getting injured in competition with trans women, or using their gender in a sexually inappropriate way in public facilities, or convincing children to switch genders who werent already heavily predisposed to do so on their own. there just isnt enough incidence of any of those occurring anywhere ever for it to actually matter in any way, and it is a convenient excuse for horrible bigotry. similar to how it is still socially acceptable to make fun of people for being short or fat - ugly ideas are like money in politics, they find their way into whatever cracks we allow them to.
the real issue is that competitive sports, especially at the college and professional levels, do not permit genetic women to compete on a level playing field with trans women, so it is reasonable to say that trans women if they want to compete in sports with socioeconomic consequences need to do so with and against the men. and if the men cannot deal with it, that is their problem.

there's been quite a bit of rumor floating around that despite his protestations to the contrary, the gaetz nomination was absolutely a distraction, and was always intended as such.
Well, the truth is a lot more boring: Trump actually did want Gaetz as his United States Attorney General. Keep in mind that Trump (from the jump) also sought to override the Senate's constitutionally mandated advise and consent duties, and he and his MAGA allies lobbied hard for Rick Scott to be named Senate Majority Leader because he was all too eager to earn the title and agreed immediately to just screw the constitution, relinquish mandated duties of the Senate and let Trump have at it with the recess appointments.
Meanwhile and alas poor Trump, that Senate vote for the Majority Leader is indeed a secret ballot, thus allowing GOP Senators under cover of anonymity to vote their conscience without fear of retribution and give a plethora of giant middle fingers to the wannabe Hair Dictator. Republicans rejected Trump's pick and elected John Thune as their next Senate Majority Leader. The secret vote was (reportedly and allegedly): John Thune 29 and John Cornyn 24. Trump's pick Rick Scott was easily eliminated in the first round after receiving the least votes out of the three. Thus, that coveted recess appointment wish of the wannabe dictator suffered its first major blow; nevertheless, Trump persisted with his lousy cabinet choices in full knowledge that the Senate (at least so far and to date) was not going to just rubber stamp his coveted recess appointments wish list.
As for Gaetz, he too persisted along with Trump and his allies Vance, Musk et alia lobbying hard in public and private and (cut to the chase) were informed in no uncertain terms that the following individuals would not say no but "hell no" to confirmation of Gaetz, and there was a snowball's chance in hell (paraphrasing) of any of them changing their mind to the absurdly unqualified Gaetz:
Susan Collins, Maine
Lisa Murkowski, Alaska
Mitch McConnell, Kentucky
John Curtis, Utah (Senator-elect)
after gaetz, is anyone even raising the slightest concern about Pam Bondi?
Yes... she was an election denier who invented multiple fake claims about Trump winning the 2020 election and when asked for evidence of her claims declined to provide any (because they wasn't any). Bondi also took an illegal campaign contribution from that Trump foundation that was later shut down and fined. Bondi's PAC pocketed the illegal contribution and four days later declined to join a lawsuit for which dozens of Floridians had complained to her office that they were defrauded by Trump in the Trump University scam. She and Trump denied any quid pro quo and stated it was sent to her election PAC accidentally, but a later investigation in 2021, records regarding the illegal donation to Bondi show that Trump's organization knew that the money was being given to a PAC in Florida. An email from August 2013 from Bondi's campaign finance director Deborah Ramsey Aleksander to Trump's executive assistant, Rhona Graff, identified Bondi's PAC as an "Electioneering Communications Organization" and thanked Graff for meeting with her and for the promised $25,000 donation. Among other things.
However, from the standpoint of her resume, unlike Gaetz, Bondi is a qualified candidate.
well-played, Donald.
I too believe it was well-played but certainly not by Donald Trump who made it well known that he wanted:
* Recess appointments without constitutionally mandated advise and consent of the Senate.
* Rick Scott as Senate Majority Leader.
* Matt Gaetz as United States Attorney General.
Shot down (so far) by quite a number of Senators who couldn't care less what Trump wanted.
Credit where credit is due (so far) that some of them are displaying evidence of a spinal column that Murkowski and Collins have always shown.
JL,
Your entire comment is confusing as it uses terms like "trans women" without defining terminology..
I am sure another Democrat would have no trouble with it, but sane patriotic Americans simply need to know your frame of reference.
When you say "trans woman" are you referring to a man who is cosplaying as a woman??
You see the problem you Democrats have with even discussing the issue?? Democrats are forced to make up terms on the fly that normal patriotic Americans simply have no clue what you are talking about..
But there are some absolutely facts that NO ONE with more than 2 brain cells to rub together can deny.
Fact #1
A man cannot be a woman, simply by wishing it so, by mutilating his body with surgery, nor by taking drugs. A man is a man. He will be a man always and he will die a man.
Fact #2
A woman cannot be a man, simply by wishing it so, by mutilating her body with surgery, nor by taking drugs. A woman is a woman. She will be a woman always and she will die a woman.
Fact #3
Men who pretend or cosplay as woman to get into woman's sports because they can't handle the competition of men's sports have injured woman on the playing field by the hundreds.
These are all FACTS that no one with more than 2 brain cells can deny..
If a woman who is cosplaying as a man wants to participate in men's sports, I don't have a problem with that. After the first few are killed are maimed I am certain that they will, as a group, come to the conclusion that woman cosplaying as men playing in men's sports is not a good idea.
But allowing men who are cosplaying as women to participate in women's sports is dangerous and grossly unfair to the REAL women and REAL girls who just want to compete..
The solution is quite easy. Create a category for the cosplayers to compete in. Viola... Problem solved..
JL,
You see how the Demon'rats don't want to give President ELECT Trump credit for ANYTHING..
They are so filled with PTDS and Trump/America hate that they can't see ANY logic or rational thought that gives President ELECT Trump ANY credit for ANY thing.. :D
They simply deny reality because they simply cannot process how good President ELECT Trump is at totally manipulating the Demon'rats into doing what he wants them to do..
These Demon'rat trolls are wearing blinders formed by their PTDS and Trump/America hate which blinds them to what you and I see with perfect clarity..
President ELECT Trump totally out-classed the Demon'rats and CONTINUES to outclass the Demon'rats... :D
Oooo And what have we here!! :D
New York judge grants Trump request to file motion to dismiss charges, cancels sentencing indefinitely
The sentencing for President ELECT Trump has been cancelled.. :D
Which means the dismissal of the entire case AND the verdict is not too far behind..
So Trump/America haters will NO LONGER be able to factually claim that President ELECT Trump is a "convicted felon".. :D
It simply will no longer be factually accurate in the eyes of the law.. :D
WHO could have POSSIBLY predicted this would happen!!??
Oh.. Wait.. :D
Seems Demon'rats would NEVER think to put as woman as a Presidential Chief Of Staff or as US AG...
Nah... in actuality, it seems patently obvious that you just "NEVER think" because your miniscule education is repeatedly represented solely by your shitty at math and science denying underwhelming single brain cell on constant display and archived herein.
It's never too late to get an education:
Janet Reno... second-longest serving United States Attorney General in office serving from 1993 to 2001 and appointed by a Democrat during a time period I would wager:
(a) your head was probably jammed so far up your own ass you it missed it, or
(b) you used to know that but your underwhelming brain cell with obvious reading comprehension issues simply forgot.
Either way, it's never too late to educate yourself.
So, to recap: You are the single largest source of misinformation on this entire blog; however, please keep referring to everyone else on the blog as (your term) "retarded" because alongside your terminal ignorance and misinformation, it's a constant reminder of you actually being the only one on the blog who exactly matches your own derogatory description.

Case in point: Yesterday, when Gaetz made his announcement, I reached out quickly to a friend of mine who knows Pam Bondi personally. I asked him about the issue, and I'll quote to you verbatim the conversation but without revealing my source:

The Idea of 2 Sexes Is Overly Simplistic
https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/sex-redefined-the-idea-of-2-sexes-is-overly-simplistic1/
Fascinating. Science matters!
Just wanted to say thank you for posting this. What comes to mind after reading in its entirety is the recent right-wing propaganda media seizing on a female boxer from Algeria they used in order to push their anti-transgender culture war "men competing in women's sports and hurting/killing females" agenda to the masses.
This 25-year-old now Olympic champion boxer, Imane Khelif, reportedly (operative word there) does not and never has had the anatomy of a male; she was an anatomical female at birth, and according to her family was raised as a female and is not/never has been a male. However, that did not stop some in the right-wing propaganda media echo chamber, Donald Trump, Elon Musk and others without any verified evidence whatsoever to falsely claim she is a transgender male.
Not making any proclamations whatsoever -- just like right-wing media I have no verified way of knowing -- but I do wonder if perhaps she falls into one of the biological categories discussed in the article, and, yes definitely, as science can attest: "The idea of two sexes is overly simplistic."
@kick,
thank you for the encouragement. any chance you could also track down my earlier comment? that one had a good reference too i think, but i don't remember what or when it was.
