That's full on troll. He wants the fight to keep himself in the news. I assume he also wants an issue to dare Senate Pubs to bend the knee or get primaried.
Yep, full on Kneel to Zod stuff. Just to see how far he can push even his most ardent supporters.

Also, is he selling out his slim House majority with these appointments? This is the third person he is plucking out of the House, though I am certain the Speaker will support confirmation of Gaetz just to get that idiot out of his hair.
 
Fox News host who never made it past the rank of major for SecDef is totally fine, but this is a bridge too far, huh?

Are you starting to doubt at all the wisdom of handing the reins back to Trump? Trump is picking people everyone knows ins unqualified to test the senate's loyalty to him. Republican House members are literally saying things like "if Donald Trump tells us to jump three feet in the air and scratch our heads, we should do exactly what he says." Do you think demanding and trying to enforce personal loyalty to the President over loyalty to the country is a good thing? Trump is going to do that at every level of the government - his cabinet, Congress, and every person who works in any significant role in a government agency.
No, not at all. I think Trumps previous selections are all solid. This one is too far for the reasons that are being articulated. I think this pick is just to trigger the media and the Deep State. It will be withdrawn next year when it becomes apparent that Gaetz lacks the votes for confirmation. It may even be a strategic selection, with Gaetz serving as a sacrificial lamb appointment with the Dems gaining a much desire scalp.

lol what do you see as the purpose of using a cabinet appointment to "trigger the media and the Deep State"? You don't actually want Republicans to govern huh?

Feel free to make a case for why Hegseth is qualified to be SecDef. Tell me how it makes sense to put someone who never ranked higher than Major, and was never responsible for more than a few hundred men at most, in charge of the entire US military?

I actually think he did it to trigger Senate leader Thune I actually have faith Thune would not approve this one and orangeturd wants to fight Thune right off the bat-to see if he can "succomb" him
 

It will not surprise me one bit if Republican senators cave on Gaetz's appointment - or even cave on Trump's demand for recess appointments, which would be even more craven - but I don't read anything into Mullins' statement there except deflection. There is no point on him sounding off on the nomination and/or provoking Trump now when he doesn't have to. It would be foolish of him to get into Trump's bad graces by giving a spur-of-the-moment reaction to Gaetz's appointment. He has months to feel out his colleagues and get a sense for how to thread the needle of rejecting Gaetz while staying on Trump's good side, if that's what he decides to do.

Ah yes, Donald Trump, famous for his scalp-giving, willingness to suffer strategic defeats, and nuanced and patient navigation of the corridors of power in Washington DC

Why would Trump need to offer Dems a win on anything? He doesn't need their help. If he nominates Matt Gaetz to be AG, it's because he wants Matt Gaetz to be AG.
 
Please for the love of all that is holy, please please please confirm Gaetz as AG. Please Lord.

Also, how the fuck is there a “Deep State” when the damn Republicans just swept all three branches of government??? Must be the most incompetent fucking “deep state” in the history of the universe!

Not just the Dems, but Establishment Republicans. They like “wins” against Trump as well.

Trump appoints someone hilariously unqualified to be AG, and instead of saying "this is dumb, he should appoint someone qualified for this very important job" you say "masterful gambit sir, trolling the libs and establishment Republicans is exactly what you should be doing." LOL
