Agreed, it's likely that she already has an agenda and stands to be much more dangerous

Since all things are mixed, and arguing against myself, it is somewhat a victory

(53,007 posts)1. It's not a victory and coward is the wrong word to apply
Now the nominee is Pam $25K Bondi. Gaetz with teeth and the same greasy palms.
Gaetz wasn't a coward. He was just plain stupid to allow his name to be offered / used in the first place. Double stupid to think that all this stuff wouldn't come out. Triple stupid for letting his dick rule his life and doing the crime twice.

It is a win to set tRump back on his heels, even a little bit.
It is also a win that tRump now knows for certain that the Republicon Senate is not an automatic rubber stamp.

(229,762 posts)5. Good point, and now that the Republicans have stood up against Gaetz, they're more likely to oppose other deplorable picks
Especially Hegseth and RFK Jr. At least we can hope...
