    this is a less funny and more harmful choice than gaetz, she's done way more real damage than Gaetz and will be relatively inoffensive to libs

      i've been thinking a lot of the 2nd Trump admin's tactics will be to do something egregiously stupid like nominate Matt Gaetz, then do something the libs can tolerate that's actually worse

        Gaetz bowed out himself, I assume because he thought his ethics investigation would be released if he went to the congressional hearings.

          Also supposedly a lot of Republicans just don't like him on a personal level. Probably not enough to go against Trump, but enough that they could actually ask him questions during a confirmation hearing, which I don't think he wants. Also he has so many fucking skeletons in his closet that I think withdrawing is just easier.
