Because Gaetz is her bestie and she knows he’s in danger of not getting the votes to get confirmed. The hardcore trumpists will absolutely use blackmail to get what they want. And they don’t want to lose face by having a trump pick get defeated early on. But yeah, she should have leaned on them privately, not in public. She’s not the smartest.
In a letter sent Tuesday, Texas Land Commissioner Dawn Buckingham notified Trump she had purchased a 1,402-acre ranch along the U.S.-Mexico border, about 35 miles west of McAllen. She also assured him that her office would work with federal agencies to construct a detention center.
This wasn’t just empty land sitting around that Texas already owned, she purchased it specifically to give to trump so he could build a concentration camp. Is she the world’s biggest brown noser trying to get a pat on the head from trump, or is she a deranged fascist who gets off on ruining lives? Maybe both?
Do you remember when Obama was asleep at the wheel (as usual) and the Japanese attacked Pearl Harbor? How this guy managed to get reelected always mystifies me.
“For my Republican colleagues in the House and Senate, If we are going to release ethics reports and rip apart our own that Trump has appointed, then put it ALL out there for the American people to see. Yes… all the ethics reports and claims including the one I filed, all your sexual harassment and assault claims that were secretly settled paying off victims with tax payer money, the entire Jeffrey Epstein files, tapes, recordings, witness interviews. But not just those, there’s more, Epstein wasn’t/isn’t the only asset. If we’re going to dance, let’s all dance in the sunlight. I’ll make sure we do,” the lawmaker said in a post on X.
Interesting, she’s going the Madison Crawthorn route. Remember what happened to him? They dished up all the dirt they could find on him and hung him out to dry. This sounds noble of her, but she’s using this as a threat to try to force them not to go after Gaetz, her pedophile buddy.
People in Congress already hate his guts, this will give them an objective reason to vote him down without drawing the wrath of trump. I mean he’ll fume about it, but most normal congress people aren’t going to stick their necks out for a proven pedophile.
Did they forget the Muslim travel ban he tried to do in his first term? It was one of the first things he did in office. He has already told you who he is multiple, multiple times.
How can anyone listen to Trump’s racist rants about shit hole countries and walk away thinking “he doesn’t mean me”? He absolutely means you. There’s about to be a whole lot of faces meeting some very hungry leopards.
Ultimately the deregulation they want will lead to people riding giant gas bombs across the ocean. History is just waiting to repeat itself.
Trump had to reward two of his biggest bootlickers with plum jobs but didn’t want them to have actual government positions, so his team came up with this. They’ll make recommendations that are already in the planbook and if the courts block all their nonsense they can throw them under the bus as a distraction.
