"SNIP.............
As Republicans circle the wagons around Matt Gaetz and his nomination to be attorney general, Donald Trump and his surrogates have started calling GOP senators to feel them out on the confirmation battle, NOTUS reports.
The calls are not going well.
According to three sources familiar with the conversations, Trump and his team are receiving an overwhelmingly negative reaction with regard to Gaetz. One of the sources told NOTUS that multiple senators have even told Trump and his team they wont be voting to confirm.

Though I only expect GOP pushback on the most egregious shit. The rest theyre good with.

(1,147 posts)I've never been able to find anyone else who'd read it, and anyone I tried to talk to about it said I was crazy, that it made no sense and that wasn't how any of the world worked. And yet...
Forty plus years of experience, and it's exactly how the world works. Sane people also elect crazy people, dangerous people, to the government, and that's been happening since elections started.

They all have skeletons in their closets and no spines in their backs.
They will cave before MTG needs to leak the first picture, venmo receipt, sexting email, or text chain.

(2,841 posts)Out of fear of their Manila envelope showing up someday for quite awhile! The thing is everyone has to have a big dose of kink in order to keep the members in line. Everyone must have dirt. Personally Im over their sickness. Back in the * days I felt that a new Congress person was immediately taken to a party, doped up and forced to have sex with a goat. Dont ask me why I thought goat. Naïveté I guess! The tapes and photos were stored for just these times. But I was so wrong! It was a party with drugs but the goats were actually children. The photos will be heart stopping for the average person. Its time to put it all on the table. This madness must stop! If we look back at poppy Bush, at one point during his presidency there was an incident with young boys visiting the WH in the early hours of the night. Newspapers had articles but nothing ever came of it. This has got to stop and only good people can make that happen. Its pretty clear that the choices T is making are a deliberate assault on all of us!

Committing extortion in public view has me very suspicious that she's just braying for attention.

(29,085 posts)The Senate will roll over with little more than a whimper. I want you to imagine for one moment, the absolute FURY of the mouthbreather nation against one of their own if they dare to stand against the Orange Lord. You think any R has the spine to stand against that kind of hot, stupid wind from their own base? Some will put up a superficial fuss, and then every sea will part because a president deserves to pick his cabinet.
