One of my most harrowing experiences was visiting the Dachau concentration camp. I'm confident that we will not build ovens to burn undocumented immigrants.

Nevertheless, I suspect visiting Trump's detention centers in the future will be a troubling and emotional experience.

Yes, we should avoid referring to “concentration camps” as an analogy here. Maybe internment camps is a better analogy, though many (about half IIRC) of the folks in the Japanese internment camps in WWII were actually U.S. citizens.

The obvious efficiency of having two heads of a department that doesn’t exist, plus a rabble-rousing “subcommittee chair”(?) and no statutory authority to do anything is a really encouraging start for a proposed radical restructuring of the Federal government.

Give him a break. He’s new at this.

Small government at work.
 
Good. Now release that damn report anyway. You can bet that it is incredibly damning. People like Gaetz and Trump do not admit they are wrong, so for “him” to submit “his” withdrawal of his nomination for AG, it must be pretty damn bad. Maybe they found out he was paying underage boys for sex, too. That’s about the only thing that seems to be disqualifying in the GOP anymore – publicly, at least.

I was so looking forward to the confirmation questioning so the country could see that its creep President elect had nominated another creep.

They don't care as long as they get the fascist country they want for straight white Christian nationalists.

Lol
 
Since he resigned from Congress, at least this Congress, can he return to Congress when the new House is seated in January? If not, what are his career choices - Fox News host?

Supposedly, per the Speaker, his resignation covered the next Congress, too.
 
Other than it just being a good thing for us to not have a pedophile sex predator as the chief law enforcement officer in the United States of America, I’m not sure that this withdrawal moves the needle. They are going to put someone just as awful in that appointment, it will just be someone who maybe prefers his sexual misconduct to be your standard issue extra marital type, as opposed to paying underage girls for sex and trafficking them.

It's unclear, though, whether that's binding on him. Like, can he say, "I change my mind about withdrawing next term?" I think he can. I don't think a resignation from a Congress is final until the Congress convenes. But not sure if he will. It sounds as though the knives are out for him and he knows it.

Just like Santos, really. If Gaetz had kept his head down, this would have been buried. But he decided to be ambitious and it all crumbled.
