At the risk of using logic to explain anything Trump does one has to wonder what the actual endgame is for the Gaetz nomination. Sure his leaving the House might squash his ethics report, but a full blown confirmation hearing would certainly not be a good look for him.

@dauphin87 Gaetz is hideously unpopular in the Bonkers GOP.
I am not sure that he would survive a full-blown confirmation hearing.
I believe that Trump will lean heavily on the recess appointment dodge, with many of his Cabinet members having the prefix of "Acting".
If he fires them, he will do it during a recess, so he can appoint another sycophant to take their places.

@dauphin87 itโ€™s obvious to me they donโ€™t care about appearances.

@dauphin87
I donโ€™t think there will be confirmation hearings. All will slide through when the new GOP-led Senate calls a recess before the inauguration. Gaetz is universally disliked on a non-partisan basis so I expect the Ethics report will find its way into the public square. It will be interesting to see how DOJ, DOD, Intelligence civil servants handle their new overlords.

@Tbdev @dauphin87 things are looking good already, Gaetz is disliked as you mentioned, I hope he is blocked.

@dauphin87 this little action was Donnyboy saying FU to the Senate for not confirming his anointed Senate Leader, Scott (R-FL)
