Yeah and how does the "law and order" candidate/party put someone with no experience in a position like that?

Monumentally stupid.

Between Gabbard and Gaetz, you're going to see lots of leaking of CI.  Going to be some serious dirt kicked up.

Congrats Attorney General Matt Gaetz! The haters' heads here are going to explode!

That you think he will be confirmed is....cute

We have the Senate bro.  60 votes aren’t needed b/c your side got rid of the filibuster.  Remember that Einstein?  A simple majority is all that is needed to confirm.  Last count I saw is we have 53.  Get used to all this winning.

Yeah he won't have 51 GOP votes...bet me

Murkowski, Collins, and Cassidy will for sure be no votes. I’m sure Kevin McCarthy will be able to call in some owed favors to sink this one as well.

Also, isn’t Gaetz still under a House ethics investigation?

And Romney? Lankford? No fucking way

Didn’t realize Mitt still has another year left to serve. Forgot about Lankford too. He has a score or two to settle as well.

There are more...no fucking way Gaetz gets by. It's a setup for the next one in line that is probably just as bad but at least they might be qualified. Gaetz is not qualified.

Gabbard might have a hard time as well.

I agree Gaetz is the ringer so Trump can appoint an “acting AG” not needing immediate confirmation.

Tulsi will have some explaining to do for her chumminess with Russia. 

If these are quality of picks to head the agencies, this country is fucked should a black swan make an appearance in the next two years. Unserious people for an unserious country. Exactly what we deserve.

You realize that this is not for the Supreme Court? AG leads the DOJ, he does not try cases.

I say let them have it.  

Im not going to waste brain matter worrying about it.  The majority of this country chose this.  If they bring it down, so be it.  If they snuff out corruption and fix Washington, then great.

I don't know what company you work for, but I guess you would think it was a good move to hire someone with no experience to lead HR, Finance or Operations. We've see this circus before. Experience in these roles isn't the issue you seem to think it is, but inexperience sure will be. We're going to be steamrolled domestically and globally. Weak leadership will embolden people/foreign countries to act out.

Gabbard is probably technically qualified but I don't like her positions for this role so I hope something blows it up.

Gaetz is a ridiculous pick for AG and he's made a lot of enemies in Congress. Uphill battle at best.
