It should be emphasized just how obscene the Gaetz nom is. He's unqualified, unfit, & was recently investigated for sex trafficking. He faces accusations of paying for sex & sexual misconduct w/ a minor. That there's even a chance he gets confirmed as the top law enforcement official is shameful.

LG says no one should be disqualified because of a media report (Gaetz). How about being completely unqualified for the position? Or because he’s an asshole? Or because the smoke fire correlation here is pretty strong?

Watters: This is going to be so much fun to get skinny. And having everybody be hot again. Because if you look at 1990, this was just a smoking hot country, all right? Then everybody started getting obese and overweight.

I feel like (at least for now) I can post here without harassment and threats. That being said… I was really hoping he would just go back to the golf course and we could tread water for the next 4 years. The Orwellian Hellscape was NOT on my wish list…
