She was also accused of stealing an elderly couple's dog and was sued in court to return it. She claimed that she had "rescued" the dog after Hurricane Katrina, but the couple disputed her claim. The case was settled before trial, and she agreed to return the dog along with heartworm and other medications. When a reporter asked the elderly woman if she and her husband planned to keep "lines of communication" open with Bondi, the woman replied "Why should I? She stole my dog...she has no compassion at all." Based on that and other stories, Bondi sounds like a perfect Trumper through and through. I'm sure she'll be blindly loyal to Dear Leader and do what she's told, just as she did has done with DeSantis.
It's not just that I think Trump is too stupid to think up such an elaborate ruse on purpose - he absolutely is - it's that the ruse itself is stupid even if you think that's what it was. We're months away from confirmation hearings on Trump's nominees. How exactly did the brief few days in which Gaetz was a nominee do anything to divert attention from Trump's other nominees or make them more likely to be confirmed? Are people not doing a million stories on Hegseth and RFK and everyone else? It will be ages ago in media cycle terms by the time confirmation hearings roll around (unless Trump plans to dispense with them altogether, in which case the "ruse" was even more pointless).
That's a new one. I've heard Butt-head and the Heat Miser, but never Robbie Rotten. Robbie Rotten is spot on for a variety of reasons.
Back to Lazytown with him!

I think he burned political capital and lost a fight for no reason. I think at least one other nominee goes down, maybe 2.
Think I prefer that than the dude from Texas.
Ken Paxton is corrupt as fuck. He is probably the only guy as unlikely to get confirmed as Gaetz.
+1. I think this election made clear that Florida is now officially a deep red state. Given that they seem to love them some DeSantis and Rick Scott down there, it's likely that Gaetz would indeed be a formidable candidate for governor. Sleeping with underage girls likely won't hurt him at all in that state, at least with the Trumper base. They'll just blame the girls for whatever happened.

Just fucking leak it.House Republicans block the release of Gaetz ethics report.
House Republicans block release of Matt Gaetz ethics report
The House Ethics Committee met earlier Thursday to discuss its investigation into the Florida Republican.
Why? He's exited stage right. Keep it under wraps and leak it if he re-emerges somewhere. No sense creating an arguably terrible precedent for a guy who's not even part of the game any more.
