Well, hell. Not even inauguration day, and already one of my favorite chew toys is out of the toy box. Bratty Matty Gaetz, the alleged child sex trafficker is gone from public life, and I mean gone for good.
- There are several possible reasons why Gaetz chose to make a suckers break for it, which I’ll list here, followed by my own personal reason. For one thing, the last I checked, Gaetz still had a fiance that stuck with him through the DOJ investigation. She may not want to be put through the humiliation again
- Gaetz may have been presented by some senior GOP-players that if he drops his bid for AG, then the Ethics Report on his randy habits can die with it. If not, then the GOP support is there on the committee to vote to make it public
- Now that he realizes he’s finally going to be off the public teat and actually have to earn a living, Gaetz doesn’t need any more controversy. The quicker this dies down, the sooner he can run for something again and embark on his Comeback Tour
No. No. No. As far as I can recall, Bratty Matty made absolutely no shows of public regret or remorse for the living hell he was putting his fiance through, and he couldn’t give a sh*t about that less now either. Gaetz went through the entire DOJ investigation claiming it was a deep state politically motivated hatchet job on him, and the Ethics investigation is more of the same. And this kind of perverse bullsh*t is exactly what his voters, the selfish, self indulgent, little pr*cks who think politics is all fun and games expect from their clown prince.
No, there’s only one reason that Bratty Matty Gaetz dropped his nomination for Attorney General. And that’s because Traitor Tot told him to drop it. And there was only one reason why His Lowness would take one on the chin like that before he’s even sworn in. The. Votes. Weren’t. There.
It has been reported for the last few days that Baron von Schitzenpantz, furious with the resistance from the GOP Senate was personally working the phones to whip up the vote. And it was reported yesterday that none other than the Hillbilly Imbecile had joined Bratty Matty on Capitol Hill to try to bring some sense to the pagans.
No such luck. This is exactly where you can appreciate the Machiavellian skills of Moscow Mitch McConnell. There’s a reason why they call it an Iron fist in a velvet glove. First you offer the gloved hand in sweet reason. And if that fails, then you bring out the fist. McConnell got the GOP Senate to reject a bipartisan J6 committee as a personal favor to him. Trump’s only glove is one of those old steel gloves from a suit of armor. And The Peach Penguin doesn’t ask for favors, he demands obedience. And this time he didn’t get it.
A few takeaways from this pathetic episode;
- First of all, it’s the most solid sign yet that El Pendejo ex Presidente is already a lame duck President before he’s even sworn in. GOP opponents know they only have four years of this bullsh*t before he’s gone for good
- The only GOP senators at risk for opposing Traitor Tot politically are the ones up for reelection in 2026, and their risk is minimal. 2026 is going to be worse for The Cheeto Prophet and the GOP than 2018, by a mile. And opposing Il Douche on stupid sh*t like this is a way for 2026 GOP incumbents to prove their independence to moderate and independent voters. 2028 GOP moderates will be running in an election with Traitor Tot no longer on the ballot
- This should be a flashing red light for other political space oddities like Tulsi Gabbard, Mehmet Oz, Pete Hegspeth and RFK Jr. There will be FBI background checks done before Traitor Tot takes over, and the scandal and qualification machine is already up and running on every one of these mental midgets. And what’s good for Gaetz can be good for everybody else too. And The Mango Messiah just proved that if pushed, he’ll blink
Here’s why I take this GOP senate quiet rebellion so seriously. As was discussed on MSNBC yesterday, if you were to poll GOP Senators, many of them would heartily agree that they sincerely believe that the criminal investigations, especially the DOJ investigations, were politically motivated to tar Traitor Tot from another run for office.
But that doesn’t mean that they want to see the DOJ as a weapon for his personal vendettas, with the FBI as his personal Gestapo. And they don’t want constituents, including their family members dying because the the guy heading the FDA and the CDC had a worm eat the part of his brain with all the common sense in it. Nor do they want a Putin toady writing the Presidential Daily Briefs, nor do they want a Defense Secretary that takes us back to the War of 1812 when it comes to our tactics and readiness.
One of the threats most offered by the Democrats for a potential second Trump term was that it would be a Trump administration with no guardrails, or adults in the room. And that may well be as far as his White House staff is concerned. But much of what he wants to do requires congressional approval, and at least so far, it’s starting to look like at least some GOP Senators put away their toys and Puff the Magic Dragon quite a while ago. There will be no shortage of fireworks to come.
I thank you for the privilege of your time.
oh yeah Trump’s granddaughter is 17 yo 😂
I don’t get your point. Remember that Trump BRAGGED about his own daughter’s “hotness”,” that he’d date her–supposedly if she weren’t his daughter but, then again, how many NORMAL fathers even think about their daughters in THAT manner? Sure, they may say things like “You look beautiful” and “You’re sure going to break some hearts” but, “Damn, you look so fine I’d do you?” (Trump even managed to make those freaking “purity balls” seem downright innocent, rather than creepy.)
Murf! Glad to see you back! Thank you for your wise and humorous writing. You brought up a number of things I did not even see so I learned a lot. Thank you.
