To be clear, the likelier, scarier, explanation is Trump is so insistent on this that no one could talk him out of it.
You think Trump is playing 5D chess, when really he’s just scribbling on the walls with crayon

I think you may be onto something here.
But as for the other appointments, starting January 22, Americans will be able to see Russia from the window of the White House!
Obviously wrong if you've been paying attention, Hegseth is the sacrifice. We have two months and change until confirmations, Hegseth continues to look worse during that time, Gaetz continues to look better.
That was my initial thought as well – he’s putting him out there as a guaranteed loss to give them a chance to sacrifice at least one of us picks, rather than one he really wants.
Well Polymarket has it at 40% likelihood unless that’s just a whale fucking with us again:
Should the highest office in the country be exempt from a rigorous merit-based selection process? If Kamala Harris couldn’t handle most basic tasks given to her in the past 3.5 years why should she or her party be trusted to fix the problems they created? dimsimplemedia.com/what-is-the-re
Let them feel strong by opposing this sacrificial lamb... they've already dealt with so. much. loss.
Highly likely it was to allow Gaetz to save face. He will not be Attorney General. He'll end up as something else.
Or he made a deal and is holding up his end, knowing that it didn’t cost him anything but one more angry little news cycle among dozens.

Another explanation is that it gets a trouble maker out of the House making the very narrow Republican majority work much smoother
Political class continues to not get it.
To everyday Americans there is nothing remotely off the wall about putting a former attorney and reform-driven congressman in charge of a justice department that needs reform.
The “Senate R’s” are more exposed than ever.
Balls in their court.

As South Africa gears up for its medium-term budget statement, the government faces a pivotal moment: can it prove to ratings agencies that it has the fiscal discipline to bring the country back to investment-grade status?
Wow, how'd this insightful tweet pop into my feed from someone I've always disagreed with?!
Not bad amigo!
So the new POTUS should not get to pick his AG? That is nonsensical.
Giving a “sane” explanation to trump’s worst moves is part of the problem. Just. Stop.
You want to side with the fat Blobrat in a bad toupee who attacked him go right on ahead.
Can't be any worse than Merrick Garland, who appointed lawfare specialist Jack Smith. Yeah I think Gaetz is perfect for the position.
Or how about when Trump said he will seek retribution for all his legal woes.
Maybe we should believe him.
It's funny that you believe that a Republican controlled Senate is going to deny Trump any of his picks.
All of them will be confirmed.
This 100%. I don’t think even delusional Trump would have convinced himself this would get through.
Trump needs a loyalist above all else at DOJ. I just thought he’d appoint someone that could provide that with less baggage.
As the World Bank and IMF annual meetings kick off, we offer a graphical breakdown of IMF lending to Africa.
Oh, Honey, just say it: A bunch of your buddies are retaining personal attorneys and trying to figure out the countries that don't have an extradition treaty with the US. It's OK to say that you pooped your pants. I know you know what's coming.
"The Gaetz nomination is so off-the-wall" . . . Dems promising to crimp free speech, end the filibuster, undermine the judiciary, then grant amnesty to plunge us into a fascist state was off the wall. An appointment that you are unhappy w is a walk in the park compared to what

KQ’s KSh513m profit signals recovery, growth and a boost to investor confidence.
Gates is a Harriet Miers pick. A sacrificial lamb. They know Gaetz cannot get the votes. The next guy will be a someone with a small profile,the paper qualifications and most importantly totally loyal to Trump. The Senate will not have the juice to stop him b/c they stopped Gaetz
No. Article II section 3 adjourn both house and senate. Recess appointments for all.
No
Every one of these motherfuckers is auditioning to see if they are worthy of being reelected next time. Pass the entire fucking slate or the fucking consequences.
So that’s gonna be a yes on the neo-Nazi tattoo guy for Secretary of Defense?
Gaetz is pro psychedelics and the AG has statutory authority in rescheduling under the CSA. so, there’s that
Was thinking the same thing.
I assume Murkowski and Collins are “No”s.
There are 5 or 6 super safe R’s that will be at the beginning of 6 year terms that can also vote “No”.
I mean, would anyone primary Barasso or Blackburn in 6 years over a “No” on Gaetz?

Lol. Graham’s already saying he’s fine with it. Why haven’t ppl realized by now that there is nothing that will cause these Senators to discover their courage. They overlooked a coup, for the love.
I think/hope that’s what most of these initial appointments are. “Here. I’m made good on owing you a favor but the senate shot it down.”
They might fight over who gets to be the dissenting votes but they will confirm every single one.
I thought of this, but now I'm hearing that talk floating around that he'll Recess them all, and I don't know what to think anymore.
That's very possible AND it meant The House scrubbed the investigation set the next Tuesday.
Safaricom CFO Dilip Pal says lease adjustments could offer relief, but securing favourable terms from Ethiopian partners like Ethio Telecom may prove challenging.
There is no Justice Department anymore. It’s gone. That’s the point of the Gaetz nomination.
Are you assuming that the Senate will actually hold hearings as opposed to Trump's demand that all his picks will be recess appointments?
You should try thinking less and accepting reality as it presents
