Please don’t nominate him for anything else. He resigned from Congress. This could be incredibly hilarious.
Edit: and if any Democrat on the ethics committee doesn’t leak the report they should all be primaried and removed from their posts.
Note that while he resigned from this current Congress, he did get reelected to the next Congress, so he’ll still be a US rep in Florida once the session starts in late January. Just kind of an extended two month vacation really.
Wouldn’t that mean the house investigation can be resumed? I don’t think he wants that.
They are counting the media interest will die out. That’s why this should be released NOW not having any delays. Those are only to wait for things calming and then quietly dismissing it.
It can be, but it won’t be
Maybe not, according to https://www.nytimes.com/live/2024/11/21/us/trump-gaetz-news/5e296b83-bf2f-50cc-96b8-5049b764b8a9?smid=url-share:
Absent extraordinary events, we do not expect to see Gaetz back in the House next Congress. When he submitted his resignation to the House last week after being tapped for attorney general, he wrote: “I do not intend to take the oath of office for the same office in the 119th Congress.”
It is always possible that Gaetz can invoke the ancient privilege of “SIKE!!!” And take it all back. But then the ethics report will get released…
Unfortunately for him I mumbled “no takesies backsies” when he resigned so that’s off the table
Ah, but did Mike Johnson have his fingers crossed when he accepted Beavis’s resignation?
He’s clearly the Surgeon General of Beverly Hills.
He’ll make a run for governor. DeSantis is term limited and his seat is up in two years.
I’d imagine he won’t get nominated for anything else per se, but he’ll just be a senior advisor or some bullshit. He’ll absolutely still be in the white house, in Trump’s ear.
he is scared of a moral report that would go public if he is part of the kabinet. so no he wont get any other positon, if he wants to try to lie the pedophelia away.
I’m guessing that while Trump picked him, the power('s) behind the throne quietly strongarmed him into withdrawing.
He just doesn’t want the ethics report to come out.
Next nominees, Lionel Hutz.
I mean okay, I mean Trump will just pick something worse. I’m more disappointed that Democrats didn’t grow a spine and just release the house report on Gatez.
He’s already announced his next pick. It’s Carole Baskin
/S
Someone named Pam Bondi. https://www.nytimes.com/2024/11/21/us/politics/pam-bondi-attorney-general-trump.html
Anti gay marriage, anti health care… I gave up reading at that point… Didn’t need to know anything more to know I can expect nothing good for the American people from her.
We didn’t need to read the article to know that.
I’m more disappointed that Democrats didn’t grow a spine
So you are perpetually disappointed, got it.
Yeah, pretty much.
Trump should have picked a Senator if he wanted to put a Pedo at AG. Nobody would be investigating a Josh Hawley or Ted Cruz nom.
That’s kind of expensive though, making an international call to Cancun.
He REALLY does not want that ethics probe released. Which means we absolutely should.
My conspiracy theory is that he wasn’t a serious contender for AG. He got the nom which allowed him to resign from Congress. This forced the ethics committee to stop investigating him because he was no longer a member.
While he was a contender for AG, the Senate pushed for the release of materials anyway. Gaetz withdrawals from consideration, making the report moot.
This has Bannon written all over it.

Is it because he knew the Ethics report had been hacked?
How sad. Alexa, play “Not Like Us”
Please just slink into the shadows never to be heard from again. Besides him being a pile of shit I can’t stand that dudes fucking face.
The shadows of a prison cell is what id prefer
Probably sees the writing on the wall
Probably saw that report
My brother in christ, he made the actions in the report
Well yeah but you don’t know what they know you did until you see the report.
How many Scaramuccis was that?
Scaramucci actually got the job, so it’s probably negative Scaramucci’s
He held the nomination for .8 Scaramuccis, and was fired 6.2 Scaramuccis before his earliest possible hire date.
Edit: Did Scaramucci math
Eighty centimooches. Great job, Gaetz!
Metric Mooches, the most disgraceful measurement of time.

Were in a new numerical realm now, the Gaetz, that count as negative Scaramuccis.
Making way for Dog The Bounty Hunter to be nominated
Probably judge Judy
Resigning from the 119th congress is essentially an admission of guilt at this point. Whatever is in that report will most likely remain sealed as long as he has the cover of being a private citizen once again, which is why he turned these two opportunities down - to keep the evidence of his wrongdoing under wraps so he can’t be held accountable by either the public or the justice department.
So, Matt Gaetz is a pedophile and a child molester. And knowing the state of our shitty fucking country he’s probably going to get away with it.
I mean, #metoo took forever to come around. I like to think in some future he’ll get boned
I’m hoping against everything else that Johnson will stop protecting him because he’s now not worth anything to them now and isn’t worth the political capital to protect 🤞
as long as he has the cover of being a private citizen
Man, if you get elected into ANY government office you shouldn’t be able to be considered a private citizen.
And trafficker. I thought the qanon wanted to “save the children”?
Or is this just IOKIYAR?
But now who will be the more dangerous but more palatable nominee that Gaetz was running a screen for?
Guiliani.
no, see, in Trump’s head, Guilliani is a loser because he couldn’t escape having his stuff taken by the law
My money is on Paxton.
I appreciate the thought you put into it, but my God that was difficult to upvote
Yeah, I’m just up voting you instead.
Can they just release the report? Why is this guy still walking around free?
I have a suspicion the House is holding it over his head to keep him from swearing in for the next congressional session. He won his election this year, so he could just simply re-jiin the House even though he resigned for this term.
