Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.

Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.

Example:

  1. Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
  2. Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
  3. No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
  4. Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
  5. No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

That's all the rules!

Please don't nominate him for anything else. He resigned from Congress. This could be incredibly hilarious.

Edit: and if any Democrat on the ethics committee doesn't leak the report they should all be primaried and removed from their posts.

Note that while he resigned from this current Congress, he did get reelected to the next Congress, so he'll still be a US rep in Florida once the session starts in late January. Just kind of an extended two month vacation really.

Maybe not, according to https://www.nytimes.com/live/2024/11/21/us/trump-gaetz-news/5e296b83-bf2f-50cc-96b8-5049b764b8a9?smid=url-share:

Absent extraordinary events, we do not expect to see Gaetz back in the House next Congress. When he submitted his resignation to the House last week after being tapped for attorney general, he wrote: “I do not intend to take the oath of office for the same office in the 119th Congress.”

It is always possible that Gaetz can invoke the ancient privilege of "SIKE!!!!" And take it all back. But then the ethics report will get released....

Unfortunately for him I mumbled "no takesies backsies" when he resigned so that's off the table

[–] dhork@lemmy.world 12 points 14 hours ago (1 children)

Ah, but did Mike Johnson have his fingers crossed when he accepted Beavis's resignation?

[–] meco03211@lemmy.world 5 points 14 hours ago

He's clearly the Surgeon General of Beverly Hills.

[–] waddle_dee@lemmy.world 38 points 17 hours ago (2 children)

Wouldn't that mean the house investigation can be resumed? I don't think he wants that.

It can be, but it won't be

[–] takeda@lemmy.world 17 points 16 hours ago

They are counting the media interest will die out. That's why this should be released NOW not having any delays. Those are only to wait for things calming and then quietly dismissing it.

[–] Rapidcreek@lemmy.world 19 points 17 hours ago

He'll make a run for governor. DeSantis is term limited and his seat is up in two years.

[–] SorryforSmelling@lemmy.blahaj.zone 18 points 17 hours ago

he is scared of a moral report that would go public if he is part of the kabinet. so no he wont get any other positon, if he wants to try to lie the pedophelia away.

[–] Kcap@lemmy.world 2 points 15 hours ago

I'd imagine he won't get nominated for anything else per se, but he'll just be a senior advisor or some bullshit. He'll absolutely still be in the white house, in Trump's ear.
