Trump taps Rep. Matt Gaetz as attorney general
(www.cnbc.com)
I love TV's Frank so much right now.
That sounds like Triumph the Wonder Dog level of snark.
It's a level we Mystery Science Theater 3000 fans have loved for many years now.
I just realized this was THAT TV's Frank! I don't know what other TV Frank I was mixing him up with, but awesome!
Yep! He's still out there doing stuff! He's written a bunch of novels and he and Trace (Dr. F) are still riffing on movies!
What a wonderful comment.
FOR ME TO POOP ON!!!

Trump, Musk & Gaetz
Go team pedo!
Pics available of Trump & Musk both with Epstein, Gaetz (still not fully charged with) doing high schoolers
Couch fuckers gotta take back seat
I miss being surprised when rapists and pedophiles get handily rewarded for their crimes
Make America Shitty Again!
Insane, insane,
here comes the pardon for Ghislaine.
This looks like one of those superhero movies where they ran out of ideas so they just throw in every villain they can think of.
Also it was very common in 90s beatem-ups, where the last stage was just wave after wave of the previous bosses.
Trump is literally filling his cabinet with people he things will "trigger the libs". It's honestly quite beautiful watching him set himself of for complete and utter failure. This was always the state of right-wing politics, now the brainrot has full control over the Government.
Like last time, I think the only campaign promise he'll be able to keep will be cutting taxes for the rich. Outside of that, this admin is going to be a complete chaotic disaster.

The Cabinet list so far, as it was officially leaked moments ago on NudeAfrica.com:
State - Matt Gaetz
Treasury - Mike “The Situation” Sorrentino
Interior - A t-shirt cannon
Justice - DraftKings®
Agriculture - owner of that McDonald’s
Commerce - currently accepting bids
Labor - Immortan Joe
Defense - Vladimir Putin
Housing and Urban Development - it’s Trump, so probably Herschel Walker, ffs
Transportation - Elon Musk’s twitter account
Energy - V. Putin
Health and Human Services - sold off and privatized between Nestlé, Saudi Aramco, and Ticketmaster
Education - Kid Rock, Marjorie Taylor-Greene, and Lauren Boebert, and all sewn together as a human centipede
Veterans' Affairs - Captain Morgan; under secretaries Jack Daniels and Jim Beam
Homeland Security - Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman, once the check clears
Satire is dead. I earnestly predict at least one more pick on this list proves actually true.
The Onion writers: "Let's go with this one, the real picks are too over the top."
Just need Camacho on that list.
Poor Camacho gets shit for being thick, but when the world's smartest man turned up he asked his advice gave him a job. Eventually.
That is a very valid point. He had the strength to yield. The problem with our real world Camacho is he's too weak to do that.

This is absolutely the wrong person for the job (if you're Trump). This is basically good news.
Gaetz has literally no demonstrable experience as an attorney that would help him in this role. He got his license to practice law in 2008 and has periodically worked at Keefe Anchors & Gordon where he only practiced real estate, employment, property insurance, and contract law and later lost his law license because he forgot to pay his dues (while in office, where having that kind of credential could be valuable). KAG (now AnchorsGordon) appears to mostly have employed him as a political tool, not as a legitimate attorney that represented their clients directly. There are few if any legal documents with his name on them, so he very likely did very little actual legal work during his employment there.
Since then over 400 alumni of his Alma Mater have described him as "unfit to write or determine the law".
This is a position you want a competent and experienced attorney serving your administration. Gaetz may be a yes-man for Trump, but this is a massive strategic mistake for him and his goals. Trump's proposals so far are absolutely guaranteed to be challenged by the courts if he moves on them, and Gaetz is going to be literally the worst possible representative you could choose to try to defend your admin in that scenario.
You seem to think that the incoming administration will be following established laws, regulations, procedures, etc.
They will not.
That is some industrial grade hopium.
You’re overlooking the fact that DOJ lawyers, provided by the Herritage Foundation and FedSoc will be arguing those cases. Gaetz just needs to do what he’s told.
Here's a fun theory. He wants Gaetz to oversee as many possible federal criminal cases against Trump as possible. His job would be to bring everything to court and throw the cases. Hello double jeopardy.
Based on the fact that Trump has relatively little interest in any "platform" he has announced and it's mostly about every trick possible to advance his personal situation. He doesn't want competence, he wants people that will do whatever he says no matter what hand the intelligence into Putin's hands, make the military Trump loyalists, quash any future legal troubles from the FBI/DoJ.
While I'm sure he's willing to let people have a go at enacting his campaign rhetoric, in any way that conflicts with a system that might hold Trump accountable, that rhetoric can be compromised.
Gaetz is the chess-playing pigeon that knocks over the pieces and shits on the board.
Oh great, Attorney general butthead.
Special thanks to the folks who didn't vote this election! Couldn't have done it without you!

Butt-head taps underage girls, then show DOJ pictures of him doing so
Perfect, an actual trafficker of underage girls
a competent individual with extensive litigation experience in constitutional law would be the ideal choice here, seeing as this administration is about to face more lawsuits than any in history.. but no, donvict chooses another moronic 'yes man'
And R Kelly named Secretary of Health and Human Services.
How many more are going to come out of the clown car? This is quite a performance.
