How old is a "child" in your mind?
(no message)
Have you ever had a 16 or 17 year old daughter? Did you consider her an adult? Under the Child
Protective Services Statute here anyone under 18 qualifies.
I hear you, but most states don't call a 17 year old a "child" when it comes to sex.

But you would would for sex reassignment surgery, amirite? So would I.

Really? Another stupid question?

When it comes to “genitalia mutilation” I guarantee you he would say anyone under 18. The mileage
may vary for those underage assaulted by MAGA pervo freaks.
Only in nut world. He should have picked Bondi to start and that would have been the end of it. He
came out of it looking badly.
Gaetz is a jerk. No evidence he is a “child” rapist.
Everyone should be glad he is off the board.
More Florida white trash.
Delicious.
An Orange lackey but she’s qualified unlike her predecessor.

Much better choice than Gaetz
(no message)
Agree. The fact that he resigned from congress unexpectedly upon nomination and now this....one has
to assume that there is some validity to those venmo records. If it is real, he can't be the choice....whether he was set up or not doesn't matter. There is no excuse for the activity if it happened.
If it didn't happen and he isn't fighting it, then he is not tough enough to clean out the dirtiest of all departments in Washington DC.
Yep, G was a train wreck

Chess analogy: Trump sacrificed the rook to promote the queen

Bondi is a far more competent nominee. She knows the system & has her own people to appoint as well
She will be far more effective than Gaetz who, without AG experience, would have been much easier for Dems to hide things from seeing.
Translation: flood the zone with horrible nominees to make substandard choices appear qualified.
I prefer Presidents who seek out the best and brightest for our nation’s government.
You prefer a President who seeks persons who are blindly loyal to him, and who share Trump’s agenda to destroy our institutions and our administrative state.
Watch what happens.
Credentials do not equal competency, as we saw with the current administration.
I've never seen incompetency like I saw from this Cabinet and from this administration ever before, and I will never see it again. I bears constant mention that not a soul was fired for the Afghanistan pullout abortion. Not a one. The border. The spy balloons. The COVID firings of military personnel. The collusion with social media companies to silence dissent. The failed political prosecutions. Burying the actual crime stats. Redefining what constitutes a recession. Dressing up a "senior administration official" in an Easter Bunny costume to help direct the "President" away from the press on the front lawn. Wheeling the same doddering, senile fool onto the debate stage in the blind hope that he would not crap his pants (and also putting him on a bicycle for a photo-op). Bragging about how sanctions on Russia would cripple its economy within six months. The declaration that the border is secure as illegal aliens scurry away behind Mayorkas as he makes this declaration. The hilariously inept EV rollout which has cost employees at the Big Three their jobs. The White House party for LGBT freaks where a dude with designer tits flashed the cameras after posing with the doddering, senile old fool. The, doggone it, vexing inability of this administration to figure out who among a miniscule number of subjects leaked the SCOTUS decision on abortion. The failure of this administration to identify who left blow in the WH from a similarly tiny pool of suspects who were also all on video.
I mean, I'm only getting started. The nightmares keep flooding through my brain as I go. Who the hell are you kidding with this, "these Cabinet picks are awful" piffle?
A mass-murdering tranny as Assistant Health Secretary.
A cross-dressing, luggage-stealing pervert as Assistant Secretary in the Office of Nuclear Energy.
A lunatic over the D.O.J. Civil Rights division who claimed that melanin gives blacks special mental and spiritual superpowers that can't be measured by "Eurocentric standards."
Yeah. This could go on for pages.
Well said and great recap.

Spot on...Bondi's another partner of his (re: DJT's "Charitable Foundation" gift to her campaign)
...Trump and Qualified Candidates are oxymoronic...from the linked Wiki page...
-------------------
Tenure
Bondi was the lead attorney general in an unsuccessful lawsuit seeking to overturn the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (known as Obamacare) in Florida et al v. United States Department of Health and Human Services. In the lawsuit the State of Florida and 26 other states argued that the individual mandate provision of the ACA violates the United States Constitution.[12]
In 2016, Bondi gave a speech at the Republican National Convention, during which she led "Lock her up" chants directed at the Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton.[13]
In 2018, Bondi joined with 19 other Republican-led states in a lawsuit to overturn the ACA's bans on health insurance companies charging people with pre-existing conditions higher premiums or denying them coverage outright.[14]
Bondi opposed same-sex marriage and other LGBTQ rights issues on behalf of the state.[15] Following the 2016 Orlando nightclub shooting in June 2016, Bondi was interviewed by CNN reporter Anderson Cooper, who said that Bondi's expression of support for the LGBT community was at odds with her past record.[16][17][15] Cooper said that Bondi was "either mistaken or not telling the truth," while Bondi accused Cooper of fomenting "anger and hate."[16]
-----------------
and...
-----------------
Fundraising controversies
Beginning in 2010, Bondi's association with Scientology and the multiple fundraisers that wealthy Scientologists have organized for Bondi's political campaigns have provoked controversy.[19] Bondi has justified those contacts and her speeches before leading Scientologists by arguing that the group wishes to help her crack down on human trafficking.[20][21]
In 2011, Bondi also pressured two attorneys to resign who were investigating Lender Processing Services, a financial services company now known as Black Knight, following the robosigning scandal, as part of their work for Florida's Economic Crime Division. After the resignations, Bondi received campaign contributions from Lender Processing Services, though she denied any quid pro quo.[22]
In 2013, Bondi persuaded Governor Rick Scott to postpone a scheduled execution because it conflicted with a fundraising event.[23] After questions were raised in the media, Bondi apologized for moving the execution date.[24][25]
Trump donation to Bondi PAC
In 2013, Bondi also received criticism following a campaign donation from Donald Trump.[26] Prior to the donation, Bondi had received at least 22 fraud complaints regarding Trump University. A spokesperson for Bondi announced that her office was considering joining a lawsuit initiated by Eric Schneiderman, the Attorney General of New York, regarding tax fraud potential charges against Trump.[27][28] Four days later, however, a political action committee established by Bondi to support her re-election, And Justice for All, received a $25,000 donation from the Donald J. Trump Foundation, after which Bondi declined to join the lawsuit against Trump University. Both Bondi and Trump defended the propriety of the nonprofit foundation's political donation.[29][30]
In 2016, after Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington filed a complaint with the Internal Revenue Service regarding the 2013 Trump donation, the Trump Foundation stated that the donation had been made in error. It said that the Foundation had intended for the donation to go not to Bondi's PAC, but instead to an unrelated Kansas non-profit called Justice for All.[31][32] However, in June 2016, as Bondi was facing renewed criticism over the Trump donation and her decision not to join the lawsuit, her spokesman said that Bondi had solicited the donation directly from Trump several weeks before her office announced it was considering joining the lawsuit against him.[28][33] On March 14, 2016, Bondi endorsed Trump in the 2016 Florida Republican presidential primary, saying she had been friends with Trump for many years.[34][35] In June 2016, a spokesperson for Governor Rick Scott stated that the state's ethics commission was looking into the matter, though nothing further came from the investigation.[36]
In September 2016, the IRS determined that the donation to Bondi's PAC violated laws against political contributions from nonprofit organizations, and ordered Trump to pay a fine for the contribution. Trump also was required to reimburse the foundation for the sum that had been donated to Bondi.[37] Neither Bondi nor her PAC were fined or criminally charged. In November 2019, Trump was ordered by a New York state court to close down the foundation and pay $2 million in damages for misusing it, including the illegal donation to Bondi.[38]
In 2021, The Daily Beast reported that it obtained records relating to Trump's illegal donation to Bondi, which show that Trump's organization knew that the money was being given to a PAC in Florida rather than a Kansas non-profit. The records include an email in August 2013 from Bondi's campaign finance director Deborah Ramsey Aleksander to Trump's executive assistant, Rhona Graff, identifying the PAC as an Electioneering Communications Organization and thanking Graff for meeting with her, for the promised $25,000 donation, and "for always being so responsive and wonderful to work with". A spokesperson for Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington called these documents "a smoking gun" that destroys the story that Trump and Bondi had concocted to excuse the donation.[39]
-----------------
Par for the course...either grossly incompetent, or "in bed with Trump" on shady, or criminal deals...those are the fundamental requirements for joining DJT's cabinet.

Our institutions and administrative states need to be destroyed to a degree
Why is she unqualified?
Chuck Schumer himself could clandestinely tell Trump who to pick and you'd still find fault with the pick.
Go shovel that misogynistic crap elsewhere.

Yes. Gaetz was a genius choice.
It was only because the Senate made clear that Gaetz was DOA, is why Trump’s first choice was shot down.
Trump’s selections reflect the deplorable judgment of the electorate.
What if Trump picked you? Would you accept?
