There’s a small ocean of comments in my inbox this morning as regards the appointment of Matt Gaetz as attorney general.  I must say…..It is amusing to watch the Never Trump crowd squirm…. both the Democrats and their fellow travelers of the GOP establishment.

To a man, they’re all worried about Trump seeking retribution for what’s been done to him the 4 years and longer. While it’s true that Gaetz has that capability, (in fact he’s well suited to the task, being the victim of the Democrat run DOJ himself) I think it’s important to recognize that the Democrats would be reacting that way to any appointment as AG that Trump might nominate, because retribution would be precisely what they would be about, had this election gone their way.  But it didn’t and by God, I am enjoying this.

As to who will replace Gaetz in the House, I’ve seen the idea of floated of putting Laura Trump in that position. That actually sounds like a good idea to me. There is, after all, a good deal of backroom deals that go on in the Congress, admittedly in the Senate, more so than in the house because of the far smaller number of individuals involved there.  But having somebody in the lower house? That strikes me as a rather wise strategic move. Whoever gets put into that position we’ll be able to monitor and report back to the White House what the never- Trumpers are doing… particularly the actions of the establishment GOP will be of interest, for the reasons I have laid out earlier today

Tulsi Gabbard as DNI strikes me as fitting, too, as does Elon Musk leading the department of government efficiency, etc etc. the list is growing as you read this. Of course the response from the Democrats is one of fear and more specifically fear mongering. Oh, the complaint goes, he’s surrounding himself with loyalists.

Well, either they don’t understand That’s exactly how this game is supposed to work, or they’re hoping YOU don’t remember. . See, I don’t know about you, but I don’t remember seeing anybody wandering around the White House with a MAGA hat on during the Biden misadministration.

Let’s remind ourselves of the people he did appoint…

There will be a distinct advantage to having a cabinet not filled with guys wearing dresses. I find the Democrat’s complaints about how you can judge a man by what he surrounds himself with to be particularly humorous given the recent history of the party.

And I wonder if they will ever bring themselves to understand the irony.

Addendum: From VDH

In sum, the currently loud censors have zero credibility given the unprofessional, weaponized, and nihilist examples they have bequeathed.

Indeed. The VDH piece is brilliant as always. GRTWT
