    How does a president-elect have the power to make recess appointments?

    Naming Matt Gaetz as AG is tantamount to naming Pharma Bro as head of the FDA. Or Jeffrey Dahmer as head of meat inspections for USDA.

    I hope that's a bridge too far for one other Republican besides Murkowski and Collins, because JVD breaks a 50-50 tie.

    So the rumor among Republcans in DC is that Trump will unilaterally adjourn both houses of Congress then recess appoint everybody.

    After he gets sworn in and the Senate dutifully rolls over for two weeks. Trump doesn't have the outright power to force Congress to adjourn, but they'll do his bidding when told to. (The House doesn't figure in appointments, so they can do whatever.)

    I can't believe a convicted felon and rapist would pick Matt Gaetz to be in charge of law enforcement!

    Nope, but Trump sure is.

    If we thought we weren’t being trolled before, we know it now.

    I originally read this as, “What’s next? Marge Schott at the Cabinet or SCOTUS?”

    And now I’m like, why the fuck not? I’m sure being dead isn’t disqualifying. Nothing else seems to be.

    He's not trolling us, he's imposing a loyalty test on the GOP Senators. They will fold like a cheap suitcase, as they always do. BTW Speaker Johnson says no more aid to Ukraine. We are now a Russian puppet state, just like Belarus, but with more consumer goods.

    If Donald Trump isn't legally allowed to use a recess appointment to make Matt Gaetz the Attorney General, we can feel safe that Attorney General Matt Gaetz will provide the necessary guidance.

    Colins will get up in the Senate and talk about how she is against everything Matt Gaetz stands for but the extremist Democrats made her vote for him.
