Trump said no, to changing his pick for AG. Now that Matt backed off, although honorable, will give the RINO’s morale to attack more of Trumps picks. I’m sure there is a plan. But where’s the secret? Trump and Matt had a secret for the House. Losing a seat doesn’t seem like a good secret to hold?? We need a bulldog for AG. What, they want Bill Barr back? Please.
Gaetz held a rep seat in a red area. You can bet the full force if trump campaign will back gaetz’s replacement, believe they already had this planned.
I'd bet a few bucks that Gaetz will be appointed to fill Rubio's seat in the Senate by DeSantis. Gaetz' district is a safe republican seat in a special election and GOP would still have a majority in the House if for some strange reason the dems were able to steal his seat away.
This makes sense as to why Gaetz immediately resigned his congressional seat.
X22 has been saying this all week.
Has he also mentioned Ken Paxton ?
It's possible. Hillary setup shop in NY so she could be appointed, um, campaign for a senate seat.
I also recall that SNL comic Al Frankenstein did the same thing in Minnesota.
So there is precedent.
The charges were not pursued. A person is innocent until PROVEN guilty.
Can he run in the special election for his old seat? I'd be happy to vote for him again
He resigned the 118th congress. He was re-elected to the 119th congress.
They said earlier on the news he actually won the seat for the 2024 election that even though he dropped out now he can sit back on the house if he wants in 2024 when the new house starts because he won the election for that seat they said technically he's just out of the house until the new house starts
Then what was the point of all of this? Why not just keep Gaetz in the House and use the full force of the Trump campaign to back Rubio's replacement?
Scaramucci model is what some theorize.
If nothing else, Trump now knows which Senators don't support his agenda and methods.
Who would be Rubio’s replacement? Who would be more seasoned and outspoken than Gaetz?

I dont see it that way. I think the RINOs in the Senate are being played.
Trump names Gaetz his AG pick. Gaetz resigns from the House. The laser pointer shines on the Friday release of the Ethics report. The rats scurry to the narrative.
Then Trump names Rubio to SoS. Rubio resigns his Senate seat. Lara Trumps name pops up but I think the real target is Gaetz for Senate where he will shake up the RINOs there like he did in the House. For this to happen Gaetz needs to resign his House seat. Being picked for AG gives him the perfect cover and a large helping of misdirection to confuse the rats.
Listen, Gaetz and Trump both knew, KNEW, what a ruckus this choice would cause. They knew, KNEW, that the typical RINOs would be activated to stop it. So why would Gaetz, who understands hes a long shot to even make it to a hearing let alone be confirmed, resign his House seat so quickly?
I think the Senate was the goal.

Hmm. Yeah. Nice delta your sportin there buddy. And Whittaker in the news too? Hahahahahaha
Now who to choose? Who to choose? This is gonna be fun. Ken Paxton? Andrew Bailey? Anyone else on your wishlist? I like Paxton.
And in the meantime the RINOS have used up all their political capital on Gaetz. If they again balk they look exactly like we here already know they are but the normies are just learning. And also Gaetz sits in the Senate with them. Hahaha theres gonna be some fireworks for sure.
Advice for all my compatriots here. Dont let yourself be manipulated with all these daily ups and downs. Take a step back and look at it from 40k feet. Look at it as if your were playing a strategy game. This is a war and sometimes you recon in force and then retreat fast drawing your enemy into an enfilade. Game Theory. The Art of War. Tactics, Mr. Ryan.
I really do think so + agree with you completely.
I can't back this up with quotes, but one of the core tenents of negotiation is to always start high - sometimes way high - and work your way down.
You can always negotiate down, but you can't negotiate back up.
With what I know of Trump, this was almost 100% planned this way.
Gaetz was picked because they KNEW it would cause exactly what it did; a massive melt-down tantrum among the left & even rinos.
Now, Trump will unveil his REAL pick, who WILL get confirmed.....
Great post, Fren. :-)
Great share fren
So this may sound far fetched but what if it made full circle and Jeff Sessions came back on the scene. He got the ball rolling with Russia and was also exposing the MS13 gangs. Did he get to finish what he started? Another name that comes to mind is Lin Wood. Other than Trump, he is being persecuted as well. Why are they so afraid of Lin? It started after his meeting with Trump in 2019 or 2020. He doesn’t even hint as to what it was about, but he is the strongest voice I know for the children. They all have their roles.
Ive wondered if Sessions truly faded off into the sunset or has remained active with the Patriots in the shadows.
Dont think Lin has the chops for running the DoJ. Id have the same argument with Habba though I like her much better than Lin. Thing I liked about Gaetz was his deep knowledge of the political players as well as his unmatched cross examination skills he displayed in committee and being tuned into the world geopolitical scene.
Under the DoJs umbrella is the FBI, ATF, US Marshals, Bureau of Prisons and the DEA.
There are also something like 8 divisions in the DoJ itself which include Criminal, Tax, National Security, Civil Rights, Anti Trust and a couple others I can never remember.
So in my opinion you need someone who has managed litigation (not necessarily in court, committee hearings and impeachment proceedings ;) work too), is tuned in to world geopolitics, has some business acumen and is adept at navigating the Washington political scene.
I would just like to see Sessions to be acknowledged for the good that he did, and not only be known for his recusal. I believe he sacrificed a lot to put himself in that position. I hope at some point he will be appreciated. While I have no issues with Gaetz, other than the Masonic handshake between he and someone ( can’t remember if it was Pence or someone else). Now it seems Pam Bondi is nominated, so we will see how that goes, but she has associations with people like my very own Senator Flimsy Graham. At the end of the day the only ones I completely trust is Jesus and Trump. This movie still has a lot of moving parts, o guess.
Smart. Thank you.
I think your definitely over the target on this one fren. 👍
Trump's Response.
Matt couldn't take the heat? No. That's not it. I've seen Matt in action. Something else is going on.
Spot on. We need a warrior with the tenacity of a pitbull.
I like Alina Hubba Hubba as AG. She is a patriot not a careerist politician.
Like Ken Paxton
I wonder what this is pointing to?
Maybe the new AG requests CONgress to appoint Gaetz as Jackass Smith's (legitimate) special counsel so the cases against Trump can finally be dismissed with prejudice? So if the reps lose the 2028 POTUS election a new AG can't resurrect the case and jail Trump? Who knows - maybe a deal was made with the anti-Gates people and the RINOs (probably some of the same people) to allow him to receive Senate approval as a special counsel for this purpose in exchange for him withdrawing from being the actual AG.
Pure speculation on my part, but I think it is very plausible. That quote I posted at the start of this reply makes me believe this even more.
We the People understand that "the administration" itself is the distraction. We hope DOGE team wipes them out clean someday soon.
This is a headfake
They're using it so the RINOs will either NOT release the ethics report, which will make people ask, "Why not release it anyway...is he a pedo or not?" And their NON release will make the whole thing look politically-motivated once they get beyond congratulating themselves on making Gaetz look guilty, when really he doesn't want his name dragged thru mud for the next 2 months.
If instead, they say "Oh, you think that's going to stop us? We're releasing it anyway!!" And they release it, they will have established precedent that will cause the maga republicans to revolt and start releasing the other ethics reports (and other reports). They will "FIND" their "OWN HACKER" to release it.
This may be what Gaetz ultimately wants. For the Rinos to try to bury him anyway, and cause extreme mayhem to ensue.
Or it's possible Matt Gaetz is guilty of some pedo stuff. I don't know. I think he's innocent. They already investigated him. It's over for now.
Or its possible that he just want to "Pause" the bad Gaetz press for 2 months.
Nothing is stopping Trump from coming back and re-inviting Gaetz for the position in January.
………. H A B B A …. With Matt as her assistant, and also filling Rubio‘s spot. MAGA 11
