Trump picks Rubio as secretary of state; Gaetz eyed for attorney general

Not sure if nominating a sex pest for Attorney General is such a great idea…

“Matt will end Weaponized Government,

By prosecuting people who dared hold Trump accountable to the law.

Gabbard hasn’t worked directly in the intelligence community

Sounds like an ideal candidate lol

She might have a hard time getting approved by the Senate, even a Republican one.

Rubio was especially blunt in his criticism of Trump, calling him a “con artist”

Marco was right for once.

Add that to Vance calling Trump 'Hitler' and these are less like criticism than forecasting.

Matt Gaetz? (Pinches self.) Trump seems bent on turning the US government into some sort of cruel joke.

Miriam Adelson gave Trump $100m and she gets this parade of clowns and howling religious crackpots for it?

"In a recent profile in New York magazine, Adelson suggested that she might want Trump to push for the annexation of the occupied West Bank if he wins a second term — described in the piece as “unfinished Israel business from Trump’s presidency.”

More sensible America First picks.

These people have proved their loyalty to the country and the voter's agenda.

Very sensible pick. Though I don't know if it's a good thing for very competent people to fall behind the loyalty line.

Not sure if nominating a sex pest for Attorney General is such a great idea…

Well, he’s working for trump- birds of a feather and all that.

"When I was doing a series for Fox Nation I did an interview while getting tattooed by the only tattoo artist in Bethlehem. I got Yehweh - Jesus in Hebrew. Also on my forearm I have a Benjamin Franklin, effectively, political cartoon from the 1760s. It's the Join or Die snake. I've got Deus Vult - God Wills It- which was the cry of the Crusaders, on my bicep. I have a big flag with the AR 15 I carried in Iraq on my bicep. On my shoulder I have my unit crest from Iraq. My entire pec is a Jerusalem cross. Christianity and my faith are things I care deeply about."

That's Trump's new Defence Secretary Pete Hesgeth, a man so unhinged he doesn't know that Jesus in Hebrew is Yeshua. He's got the battle cry of the Crusaders on his arm; what is wrong with these people?

Do you agree that Pete Hegseth for Defense Secretary is an America First pick?

I did an interview while getting tattooed by the only tattoo artist in Bethlehem.

Have you been checked for hepatitis lately?

Isn’t Gaetz a bigger pervert than Trump?

Isn’t Gaetz a bigger pervert than Trump?

Trump has had many more years to refine his techniques, so no.

My friend mailed me about the new Musk-run "DOGE" department, and we came to the conclusion that these choices Trump is promoting represent a mix of trolling and revenge. Matt Gaetz for attorney general would be great in a comedy sketch, but in real life? Has to be a wind-up.

By prosecuting people who dared hold Trump accountable to the law.

Based on lies and political persecution. That didn’t age well. Karma.

Sounds like an ideal candidate lol

Myorkas was an ideal candidate? Mayor Pete and how about our surgeon general?

She might have a hard time getting approved by the Senate, even a Republican one.

I doubt it, Gaetz on the other hand probably will have a hard time.

Not sure if nominating a sex pest for Attorney General is such a great idea…

We don’t know that for sure.

Gaetz on the other hand probably will have a hard time.

We're in agreement there.

Not sure if nominating a sex pest for Attorney General is such a great idea…

Sure the " sex pest thing " is not just another political witch-hunt ? The article says -

The Justice Department ended its own sex trafficking investigation without bringing charges against him.

@JJE,

Comedy gold comrade!

New court filings point to Matt Gaetz allegedly attending drug-fueled party with 17-year-old girl:

https://www.advocate.com/politics/matt-gaetz-drug-party-allegations

Greenberg’s confession letter, written in late 2020 while seeking a presidential pardon from then-President Donald Trump, provides damning details about Gaetz’s role. In the letter, Greenberg admitted that he and Gaetz had both engaged in sexual activities with a minor, who was 17 at the time.

Greenberg also detailed the financial transactions used to pay the women, including Venmo payments that Gaetz allegedly sent to him to arrange the encounters.

In the messages, Greenberg admitted to arranging sexual encounters for Gaetz and referenced efforts to secure a pardon for both men in the final days of the Trump presidency.

No.

The article says -

He’s still under investigation by the house ethics committee.

And he brags about it.

Florida men!

Great choices, aren't they?

Gaetz, who likes to have drug parties with minors, trafficking them later.

Gabbard, a Russian asset who admires Assad.

Hegseth, a Fox moderator, twice d-xed, and a child with "an affair.

Boobert, a "handy-woman".

Trump, a man who admires other dictators.

And the list will be continued.

That's what those MAGA voters get in exchange for cheaper eggs and gas!

These picks are almost as laughable as Trump TAPPING Kristi Noem for Homeland Security secretary.

In Noem's memoir she lies about meeting Kim Jong Un and admits to brutally killing her 14 month old puppy.

Florida men

You posted you and your family live in a swing state.

i notice the left has issues with everyone BUT Marco Rubio. That’s quite telling.

Great choices, aren't they?

Definitely.

Gaetz, who likes to have drug parties with minors, trafficking them later.

We don’t know that, all alleged

Gabbard, a Russian asset who admires Assad.

I think the Russia, Russia narrative doesn’t help the Dems, it’s the hill they died on

Hegseth, a Fox moderator, twice d-xed, and a child with "an affair.

And a perfect person, young, committed to the military, vets and is a man’s man! Not woke, not into gender identity politics, wants a strong military.

Boobert, a "handy-woman".

Hawkish

Trump, a man who admires other dictators.

Is that a crime? They were and are strong people, that’s just a fact.

And the list will be continued.

Yes

That's what those MAGA voters get in exchange for cheaper eggs and gas!

Yes and wait until they start cleaning out the swamp, finally.

I wonder if the new administration will continue the tradition of his last one, where everyone has to say nice things about him in front of the media.

Well at least your team gets Senator Adam Schitff- watermelon head himself.

make AG Gaetz can look into that Ed Buck thing now.

*Gaetz,** who likes to have drug parties with minors, trafficking them later.*

*Gabbard,** a Russian asset who admires Assad.*

*Hegseth, **a Fox moderator, twice d-xed, and a child with "an affair.*

*Boobert,** a "handy-woman".*

*Trump**, a man who admires other dictators.*

And the list will be continued.

That's what those MAGA voters get in exchange for cheaper eggs and gas!

It's also what those MAGA voters want. The whole MAGA movement is based on an open disdain for intellect and morality. The more depraved the nominee, and the less suitable they are for the post, the more the MAGA rubes love it. If, one day, it's discovered that Gabbard really is a Russian asset and there's incontrovertible proof that she sold the USA out, MAGA still wouldn't care because they had a few precious weeks of "owning them libs".

*Gabbard,** a Russian asset who admires Assad.,.....I* think the Russia, Russia narrative doesn’t help the Dems, it’s the hill they died on."

How true, lol. Radical left has trouble learning.

*Hegseth, **a Fox moderator, twice d-xed, and a child with "an affair" *

His married/ divorced life concerns you so much...why?

That's what those MAGA voters get in exchange for cheaper eggs and gas!"

Anti Trump voters will benefit from cheaper eggs and gas prices too. Bet nobody will say no to it. Even the " Harris will be Madame President in a landslide" predictors.

bass,

still don't get the meaning of "being woke"?

So, let me help you out:

"aware of and actively attentive to important societal facts and issues (especially issues of racial and social justice)"

And to make it even more understandable: here's the opposite:

"The opposite of ' woke ' is bigotted, racist, homophobic, antisemitic, ignorant, religiously intolerant…"

Which one do you chose? As for me, yes, I am woke and proud of it!!

Alleged by Gaetz himself. He brags about it.

Btw, Daily Mail.co.uk .:)? ..exemplary source of integrity and unbiased journalism, lol.

Yes, it’s a rightwing rag often bawling about how the world has gone to pot because of wokeness.

Your posts are quite similar.

It's also what those MAGA voters want.

Yes, and not just MAGA voters, half of the nation.

The whole MAGA movement is based on an open disdain for intellect and morality.

No, condescension, scorn and elitism.

The more depraved the nominee, and the less suitable they are for the post, the more the MAGA rubes love it.

The more the left go on a biblical rampage, outrage hissy-fit, the wiser the choice is.

If, one day, it's discovered that Gabbard really is a Russian asset and there's incontrovertible proof that she sold the USA out, MAGA still wouldn't care because they had a few precious weeks of "owning them libs".

Lower the caffeine intake.

hegseth is a bizarre pick..

the guy has been in the army and national guard for over 23 years and still just a major (o-4)?

normally, officers are forced out after being passed over for promotion twice, and definitely out after 20 years. anyone even reasonably competent would be an o-6.

thats like a guy driving a forklift at an amazon warehouse being named ceo.

still don't get the meaning of "being woke"?

“Being woke” means being aware of social issues, such as racism, inequality, and discrimination, and actively working to address or change them, the problem is, the left made this their theme campaign and political issue, this is also a reason it killed the Democrats

So, let me help you out: 

"aware of and actively attentive to important societal facts and issues (especially issues of racial and social justice)"

Which is ok, but it still doesn’t justify that men should be allowed to use women’s restrooms.

And to make it even more understandable: here's the opposite:

"The opposite of ' woke ' is bigotted, racist, homophobic, antisemitic, ignorant, religiously intolerant…"

So, I’m racist because I think biological born men should not be allowed to participate in biological born women’s sports?

Which one do you chose? As for me, yes, I am woke and proud of it!!

I’m not, I’m a common-sense traditional

Alleged by Gaetz himself. He brags about it.

Bragging about something doesn’t mean that it’s fact. Libs tell us this constantly

You once said that the only thing that would stop you voting for Trump would be if he sexually abused a child (and frankly I don't even believe that would have stopped you). Gaetz is under investigation for things which are not far removed from this. Face it, you literally don't care what they've done as long as they're on "your side".

Alleged by Gaetz himself. He brags about it.

The projection is strong with this one.

With Trump/MAGA it is grifting and scams from the top all the way down.

As some commentators have pointed out, a majority of Americans are going to have to take a long hard look at what they have brought upon themselves.

The more the left go on a biblical rampage,

A 'biblical rampage' is what has just happened to American secular rationality.

And yes people need to wake up, 'get woke', instead of being asleep in the trance of MAGA fanaticism and belief.

And to make it even more understandable: here's the opposite:

"The opposite of ' woke ' is bigotted, racist, homophobic, antisemitic, ignorant, religiously intolerant…"

Unbelievable.

THIS is precisely why this ideology is dying. THIS is precisely why “wokeness” was overwhelmingly rejected and continues to die its slow, deserved death.

You are literally saying “If you don’t think like I do, that makes you a bigot, racist, homophobe, etc ad nauseum”

The complete lack of self awareness is pitiful. The left for years truly believed that they could use this ideological hostage taking approach: where pejoratives and insults and threats of being labeled a “Nazi!”, or tremulous shrieks of being labeled a “white supremacist!” could be used as a cudgel to keep anyone from dare disagreeing with them.

The brain rot from this hubris; from bullying your way into this Marxist insistence on everyone shrinking from thinking for themselves and speaking out against obviously indefensible and self-destructive ideologies , led to to the single biggest and most spectacular rout in the last nearly 4 decades.

So please, keep it up, call more people Nazis, KKK members, or generic Istaphobes for daring to disagree with you or failing to support your awful candidates; and continue to lose elections and public support in the most tremendous fashion.

The more childish your tantrums, the better.

You once said that the only thing that would stop you voting for Trump would be if he sexually abused a child

Trump, yes, I said that.

(and frankly I don't even believe that would have stopped you).

You don’t have to believe anything, you asked and gave you an answer.

Gaetz is under investigation for things which are not far removed from this.

How long now? 2-3 years?

Face it, you literally don't care what they've done as long as they're on "your side".

That’s your opinion on how you see it, and you are always entitled to your personal opinion.

I’m sorry, did the left NOT want democracy?

this is a week into a 4 year term that doesn’t even start for another 2 months. Haha

The projection is strong with this one. 

With Trump/MAGA it is grifting and scams from the top all the way down. 

Why are libs in such panic?

As some commentators have pointed out, a majority of Americans are going to have to take a long hard look at what they have brought upon themselves. 

No one cares what the soon to be bankrupt media things, they all knew what they were voting for and this is what they all wanted. This is going to be a great Christmas.

A 'biblical rampage' is what has just happened to American secular rationality. 

Yup!

And yes people need to wake up, 'get woke', instead of being asleep in the trance of MAGA fanaticism and belief

And the people rejected it, repudiated it, the people are tired of it and want to go back to what was normal and traditional, if Dems want to play around with their woke crap, they can remain a coastal power party, but please leave the rest of us in the United States alone

And to the MAGA people, it is of no import whether the people Trump appoints (or tries to) are among the last people who should be doing those jobs.

According to whom?

They live in their nice little Fox / Newsmax bubble where the outside world doesn't exist.

The Dems lived on the outside and they made fun of people. I’m constantly they call people deplorable, they call people stupid, they called people garbage, and in the meantime, they partied with all these powerful celebrities that don’t have a care in the world, those are the people that don’t know reality or understand what it’s like to struggle and you can’t pay for your rent or groceries or put gas in your car.

However, for a self styled patriot, it doesn't seem to bother you that most of the rest of the world is reacting with a mixture of head-slapping and resigned sighs.

Everyone that voted for Trump, which was a landslide is basically telling the rest of the world we don’t care what you think, as it should be. I would’ve never voted for Trump if he was a globalist president.

America just made itself look really, really, dumb in the eyes of pretty much everywhere else.

I can and will gladly live with that.

Oh, apart from Russia, who got precisely what they wanted.

No, they did not, they supported Kamala all the way

Putin is basically doing a Khrushchev : "We will take America without firing a shot. We do not have to invade the U.S. We will destroy you from within". He might "take" the USA before he "takes" Ukraine...

What?

Jailbait Gaetz for Attorney Genital, er General. WFT?

The opposite of ' woke ' is bigotted, racist, homophobic, antisemitic, ignorant, religiously intolerant…"

Nope, the opposite of woke is - traditional values. The above definition sounds like something a leftist biggoted organisation would come up with.

And here I thought he was going to nominate Steve Bannon for the post

Still need something important for Kash Patel and Ric Grenel and Steve Bannon and Mike Flynn. and to put Ben Carson back to his old job.

then something fun for Tucker and Rudy and Kari to do.

will never be tired of winning.

Senator Byron Donalds, Florida man!

that would be an excellent Rubio replacement.

Yes, it’s a rightwing rag often bawling about how the world has gone to pot because of wokeness...."

Yes, wokeness has gone overboard of late. That is one of the reasons Harris/ Biden camp lost so badly.

Your posts are quite similar."

Nope, you are misunderstanding. Happens often to the radical left and Biden/ Harris supporters. But you might have just been misled by the relentless media propaganda over the last few years.

Btw, Daily Mail.co.uk .:)? ..exemplary source of integrity and unbiased journalism, lol.

LOL. Plenty of other sources for the same info:

Who do you think should get the job?

Who do you think should get the job?

exactly the point. Anyone we pick the left doesn’t like. They even hate Tulsi and she was a Democrat until like a month ago.

so knowing this, might as well pick anyone we want and just ram them through, just like Democrats did.

Trump chose Tulsi Gabbard, a former Democratic member of Congress and presidential candidate, to serve as director of national intelligence, 

This is just getting better by the day. Tulsi heading up national intelligence! You are an absolute legend, the real deal.

I would have preferred Tulsi Gabbard for the post, but hey, I trust that Trump has his reasons. He certainly learned from the last time around that it is not good be surrounde by back-stabbing Rinos.

As some commentators have pointed out, a majority of Americans are going to have to take a long hard look at what they have brought upon themselves. "

Well, the majority of US voters have spoken and voted for a Trump landslide so they seem to be fine with what they " brought upon themselves". Dems and left lost and just have to cope. Democracy right?

Burgerland

Well, the majority of US voters have spoken and voted for a Trump landslide so they seem to be fine with what they " brought upon themselves".

Well, not exactly a landslide (2%). I expect some buyers remorse when inflation gets out of control and families are broken up by forced deportations.

musk continues his sucking up to save himself from u.s. citizenship being revoked and deported for lying on his citizenship application. also makes you in ineligible for a green card again.

anyone else would be on the way out.

For those of you enjoying Trump’s genius picks, where should he put Herman Cain?

Uh, you ok?

Not sure which lib floated this, but this is so far from reality, it’s almost funny. Lol!

When you think about all the illegals that the Dems ignored, hardly

burgerland,

guess that's your definition of woke

"Nope, the opposite of woke is - traditional values."

To tell you the truth: traditional values go quite well with woke!

And maybe you want to google, yahoo or whatever the meaning of "woke", too!

black,

"Anyone we pick the left doesn’t like. They even hate Tulsi and she was a Democrat until like a month ago."

See, we even dislike those who are traitors. By the way, switching sides for some personal gains, all it is.

Nope, the opposite of woke is - traditional values. The above definition sounds like something a leftist biggoted organisation would come up with.

"Traditional values" is nothing more than a euphemism for legalized, institutionalized bigotry and white dominance.
