Reply #17723891 I am not crazy about him. He is
too extreme and a hypocrite who took out a PPP loan despite coming from a family
who have millions. He didn't need those tax payer dollars. His appearance is
also too flamboyant for an AG with that heavy botox. Florida is such a crazy
state. It's really hard to do procedures on a man because the surgeon/injector
has to balance making the patient look rested/youthful while still maintaining a
rugged look. Overcorrections can lead to a feminine or Dr. Spock look.
Seems Trump maybe trusts him to be loyal. He is hardcore MAGA, but I think
people like him and Marjorie Taylor Green and that Boebert lady represent the
dark side of MAGA. Sort of like the AOCs and Ilhan Omars of the GOP. IMHO, there
were still plenty of loyal Trump supporters who come across as more serious than
Gaetz. Maybe he will do a good job on some issues though? Will wait and see
before being too judgmental. I can forgive some of his stuff, but Noem is an
absolute nut job who shouldn't have any job at all.

Reply #18522267 I really loved Jeff Sessions tbh.
He was so cute and funny. Sad that Trump was quick to attack him when Sessions
was one of Trump's earliest supporters

Reply #13732531 Conspiracy theorist in me says
something else is going on here. Gaetz needed an offramp to resign, due to his
ethics investigatioN, and this is it. Gaetz's nomination will be a "fight" and
Trump loves watching these things unfold because he's a sicko. If the
nomination fails, he'll still give Gaetz one of the "czar" appointmemts.

Reply #17605243 At least Gaetz has the
educational background. I just found out Noem has no education at all. She
didn’t graduate. How can somebody with zero education or qualifications head
DHS?
Gaetz is mainly problematic because of the whole human trafficking scandal, i.e.
bringing minors across state lines. I forgot about all of this. Trump seems to
just pick people who kiss his ass. It’s ridiculous because just because
somebody is nice to him doesn’t mean they are a good choice. If Gaetz is under
guilty of the stuff he has been accused of then he should never be an AG and
shouldn’t even be in Congress anymore. I remember after the scandal broke, he
went on Tucker Carlson and even Carlson thought his excuse was BS. Biden had
some crazy picks too though.

Reply #13142875 Btw, sometimes somebody doesn’t
need a formal education to have worldly knowledge, but Noem doesn’t even have
that. I do not see her as somebody well traveled or somebody who speaks several
languages and has knowledge of issues such as terrorism. I think of people who
served in cabinets in the past such as Henry Kissinger. Secretary of states and
heads of DHS should give off sort of Kissinger vibes. She overall comes across
as a dumb redneck which is pretty bizarre for a woman. Trump feels safer than
Kamala winning, but he clearly has a poor judge of character. Sebastian Gorka
may have been a good choice for DHS. He seems like the type.

Reply #19715899 When even Fox News and the Wall
Street Journal are saying no on Gaetz, you know it's the craziest Cabinet choice
ever. This will go down in history as the worst-ever choice for the Department
of Justice.

Reply #10651709 He just withdrew. Maybe he was
scared of an ethics investigation.

Reply #17965797 With that being said, these
people on X calling him a pedophile are being excessive. I don’t know if there
is more than one accusation, but the main accusation is that he slept with a 17
year old escort. It’s possible he didn’t know she was a minor. Some girls
that age do look older. All the same, sex with somebody who is nearly an adult
while still illegal and still reprehensible is much different than having an
attraction to children.

Reply #14118517 Either way, it's safe to say that
statutory rape disqualifies someone from being Attorney General of the United
States. Thank god he withdrew.
