Never should have been put in.

republicons have such skanky "values"

Reeps on his side were probably like "the optics of suppressing this report are too damaging if you're on the front page. We'll vote to withhold the report as long as you're not headline news."

Which confirms the validity and damage potential in the report.

Ayy-ooohhh!

Thanks for the laugh! I love creativity!

Now convict him and send him to prison


✌🏻

-which have an enormous tolerance for garbage.

Boebert? Green Gohmert?

DOGE may have to loosen the DOJ budget on box wine though.

SATAN?

Rogers would be the least problematic

I hear he needs a job!

Wouldn’t mind him being off planet where he could do no harm.

One less giant piece of shit on the Turd mountain. When is this criminal rapist going to be prosecuted for his statutory rapes? How many known statutory rapes are there now?

My guess.

The kompromat must’ve been great!

He always seemed like a decoy to me anyway, but I would have relished the booboisie seeing the kind of people Trump is willing to foist off on us.

Who is surprised by this. Now, the Ethics Committee report will not be released.

Be a real shame if the full report leaks.

Repeat: ketchup alert in Florida.

stand up to Trump on something.

Does Gaetz even know what that means?

One disaster after another it gets her off the bench.

That's one way of putting it.

Now he gets to return to Congress. He was reelected.

No going back.

That will not stop him from taking the seat in the 119th Congress that he was elected to in November, if he wants to do so.

Butthead will be taking a nice long vacation for the rest of the year, but I would be very surprised if he isn't back in the House in January.

for sure. That's why he quit in the first place. He's done. He'll create a podcast or be a FOX talk show host.

to avoid become an active issue again?

Seems like it should. Just because it is a new congress it shouldn't mean that he is a "new man" and everything gets reset and forgotten.

Supposedly his resignation was from this current session of Congress, since he was reelected he'll be back.

At least that's what I've heard several people saying who should know what they're talking about.

The report still exists and was coming out with him as a Rep. Less chance it comes out in the next admin tho.

I'd bet the Reeps will just kick the can down the road to the next admin where it can be flushed away with all the other crap that gets stirred up.

I suppose there's an outside chance he could decide not to come back, but I think we'd all best leave the corks in our champagne bottles for now.

Please see reply #85, above.

Faux Noose will spin the only man whose name SOUNDS like a scandal as an American patriotic hero, putting country before ambition, waw waw waww.

They’re all so bad that one makes you forget about the others. There’s also McMahon, a female predator.

Sigh

Taking Rubio's spot.

This Eddie Munster KKKlone needs to be prosecuted now...BEFORE the tramp junta takes over.

try to talk about 'fairness'....

Can't get in trouble for it, and I'm pretty sure you can't undo it either.

It needs to come out.

Now he’s gone from Congress and won’t be in the administration.


Must have been som awful stuff they found out in that committee and knew someone was going to leak it to the public !

He can now go back under his rock and live off Daddy’s money.

Maybe dumpt needs to nominate Lindsey Graham and he can be exposed also!

away from the spotlight

There seems to be trend for Trumps picks to be sexual predators.

he is not an easy on the eye type of guy. :shudder:

not that i watch fox, ever.

She must not be a part of the government.

There’s no end to his group of unqualified and dangerous buffoons.

yeah right. they told him fuck off in no uncertain terms is my best guess. so he did.

Let’s hear who the horrible person is that they really intended to put in there. Anyone wanna bet we’ll wish we had Gaetz back for some rollicking hearings instead of “Mister Scratch” who was probably the real nominee-in-waiting all along?

**”Mister Scratch” — see “The Devil and Daniel Websrer”

People get to say they stood up to him, and everyone he will consider now for AG has heard exactly what Trump wants done at DOJ.

Who's ready for DeSantis to appoint Gaetz to the open Senate seat when Rubio goes to State?

The man is a criminal.

As in, hope this doesn’t mean he gets magically gets his Rep seat back

He resigned this congressional term, but he can be seated, if he chooses to stay, in the next congress as he was unfortunately duly elected.

A gal can dream!

“I hereby resign as U.S. representative of Florida’s 1st Congressional District effective immediately. And I do not intend to take the oath of office for the same office in the 119th Congress to pursue the position of attorney general in the Trump administration,”

I’m guessing that his intent just did a 180…

And essentially said no way no how. Save us further embarrassment.

Based on new evidence open the original DoJ file on Gaetz and determine if charges should be brought!!!

Bill Barr dropped John Durham on Biden. Do the same to Trump and the GOP!!!

Do it now. There’s not much time.

Gatez is withdrawing because too much attention has been drawn on his past involving underage girls and it would limit further chances of him continuing his predatory past.

Appoint him to s position he makes up or doesn't need congirmation.

Senate approval.

in the next congress. He was duly reelected to his congressional seat in the next congress. And if he returns in the next congress any ethics investigation would have to start all over again. Or DeSantis could appoint him to the open senate seat created by Rubio's departure.

Him there was zero chance...

Can he unresign from congress now?

If even the repubs aren't begging him to stay.

Not just grandstand in front of cameras.

The Senate wouldn't allow Trump to (quite) do anything he damn well wants.

..”thoughtful feedback.”

The trick was to announce an agreement that would not release the Ethics Committee report. A savvy Dem caught that in time.
Can he still avoid that report?
Did they have us spend enough time talking about him, that the other lousy appointments went un-watched?
Or, was the bar set high for complaining about the other appointments.

Wait and see what the think tanks hath wrought.

Money can buy injustice. This might take more than he has.

THE ANSWER
This is false.
No, Gaetz is not guaranteed to get his House seat back after withdrawing his name from attorney general consideration.

We agree y'all...

He resigned. Does resignation mean anything anymore?

Since I have severe insomnia I didn't see/any "news" until just now. I do not watch MSM much anymore for my political info....like Meidas News and David Packman.
When I saw Entertainment News and this headline I laughed out loud.
