Matt Gaetz withdraws from AG nomination

Breaking - I haven’t seen this anywhere else yet

Sounds like good news to me. Sounds like they (the Senators) didn’t want to confirm him.

Guilty af.

And I’m guessing he realized that the longer he was under consideration, the more evidence from the Ethics Committee investigation would come out.

Yep. Wonder what happens now with his congressional seat.

Holy crap! First good news in awhile.

REMOVED HIJACK

But anyway GOOD FUCKING RIDDANCE GAETZ

His highness must not be happy. It makes him look foolish for nominating him. Someone will have to pay.

They definitely need to leak that shit now.

Fuck that guy.

(ETA: Unless you’re under 18 years old, in which case definitely don’t do that.)

Thank God. The senators he spoke to must have told him there was no way he would be confirmed.

What’s even better is that this means the attention can now be squarely focused on Trump’ s equally odious choices for his cabinet: namely Pete Hegseth, Tulsi Gabbard, and RFK Jr.

Unless of course Trump nominates someone even worse than Gaetz for AG, like Rudy Giuliani. :roll_eyes:

Well, that was fast. He didn’t even last a full Scaramucci.

It’ll be interesting to see if he’s going to try to get his old job back. I imagine the ethics committee still has their report on file.

It is not good news until the replacement is named. And it might be that he was originally picked to make the real pick look good in comparison.

I hear Rudy Giuliani is looking for work…

He was re-elected for the next term. I don’t know what either the House rules or Florida’s rules are on this situation. I can’t remember ever coming up before.

I can imagine him saying that he will serve his new term and dare Mike Johnson to do anything about it, even if the Ethics Committee report comes out.

This was paywalled. How will I know how the story ends?!

This is excellent news.

Police find shoe thief at a kindergarten is actually a weasel :exploding_head:

Summary

“We were very relieved to find out it was just an animal,” kindergarten director Yoshihide Saito said in a phone interview. “If it had been someone sketchy, we kept thinking, ‘would they escalate further?’” Gosho Kodomo-en kindergarten had asked police to patrol the school grounds after detectives were unable to locate any footprints or evidence from the first heist.

“None of us were expecting this to turn into such a big media story,” he said. “The kids love the weasel. They think it’s so cute when we show them the video.”

Please, no comments about articles being paywalled. If you care that much, PM the poster that posted it. We’re tired of seeing these posts.

This is really off-topic. I’ll hide it.

I would like there to be T-shirts. To wit:

TOO DOUCHY

FOR TRUMP!
