      What the hell are you talking about?

      The president-elect has no idea what Gaetz looks like. The president-elect doesn’t even know Gaetz. The president-elect has never considered Gaetz for AG. The president-elect and Gaetz have never met.

        For the uninformed, this is funny (and sarcasm) because there’s mountains of evidence of them together. Besides, you know, picking him for AG. But he tries this defense all the time anyway, and people actually believe it.

        Just like explicitly Trump calling up members of Congress to kill the bipartisan border bill, and then blaming the Democrats for not passing a border bill. They sold that one on the campaign trail too, and it worked.

      People who have baggage are easily controllable. Trump’s a mob boss, and he’s equally in the pocket of Putin. He’s used to these tactics.

        Emperor Trump has a quiz for you dissidents: does this napkin smell like novichok? Answer honestly, you peasant.

      Every pick has been specifically chosen to be bad for their role.

      Gaetz was 100% chosen for ATTORNEY GENERAL because of the accusations.

        Kinda feels like it. I wonder if the idea is to lower the bar for the next pick – someone who sucks 75% as badly?

          I think he’s testing loyalty in the party. I think he wants exactly who he has chosen.

        He will never top Romney for head of the DOE. Yes yes it’s bad to appoint people as a form of trolling but you have to admit sometimes he’s funny.

            Ah yeah that’s right, Rick Perry. I’m glad I remember anything from the 2012 republican primary let alone which guy tanked his campaign with a debate gaffe.

              Haha yeah he’s not too memorable otherwise but it’s a funny mistake since Romney and Trump hate each other.
