So… bigger dogs, bigger ponies, and extra assurance he’ll be confirmed?
Kavanaugh was confirmed, so I don't see why this would dissuade them.
I'm not sure I agree that Trump is just using Gaetz as a pawn to help him get his other controversial nominees through the Senate confirmation process. Gaetz has always been one of the biggest Trump sycophants and loyalty is all that matters to him.
I am more on the side of it being a loyalty test
Jesus, are other people still pushing that "4D chess" horseshit? 'He's doing something awful to cleverly cover for all these other awful things!' No. He's just awful. He is exactly as dumb as he appears. He just does so much unjustifiable cruelty, malice, and batshit stupid nonsense that apparently we're incapable of addressing any of it, in a timely fashion.
the lawmaker acknowledged Trump may want to use Gaetz to make it easier to get some of his other controversial picks — such as Robert F. Kennedy Jr., nominated to head the Department of Health and Human Services, and former Rep. Tulsi Gabbard (Hawaii), nominated to serve as director of national intelligence — to get through the confirmation process.
That's just what the anonymous Republican senator quoted in the article suggests
Nobody is talking about the Nazi that'll be head of military...
And if not for the child molestor, it'd be 'talking about that Nazi means nobody is talking about the antivaxxer in charge of civic health.'
And if not for that Nazi it'd be 'talking about that antivaxxer means nobody is talking about the fraud in charge of education.'
It's not a strategy. It's not an act. They're just awful, out loud and in public.
Don't they mean Kavanaugh on Viagra?
He likes beer 😢
