Excellent; Gaetz was a liability

Suspect Gaetz or Republicans got what they wanted by getting Gaetz out of the House Investigation. He was a liability as AG. Trump needs a better one.

    Lot of learning and growing up in that building! I learned to draft on a board in there, back when people still did that! Then I WROTE code to to do 2D and 3D drawings, not just loading one of fifty commercial tools available now ...
    ... and we have to walk uphill both ways in the snow...

    I should have looked you up, but was with my kids for my mother's 90th B-day. Not much time. Next time.

    The Crawford Science Tower is mostly for math, psychology, and liberal arts classes now ironically. Science and engineering are in the new buildings across the street.

    In 2000, Florida Tech got a $100 million grant from the F.W. Olin Foundation. That was just after I arrived. That changed ... everything. Later today I have an open house to attract the next generation of John Galts.

    Hope so.

    BTW, drove by my Alma Matter back in Sept. Jesus, what have you done to it since 1987? WOW. It is everywhere now. Was an absolutely great school then. Hope it still is. What is in the Crawford Building now?

    I take zero meds now, and plan to stay that way until it is absolutely impossible. Those commercials crack me up.

    Pam Bondi was an excellent AG here in Florida. I wanted her in this role. Ashley Moody has been an excellent replacement for her; she likely will be DeSantis' choice to replace Lil' Marco (Rubio) as senator.

    Finally got back to this thread. You said earlier, "We can find someone harder to villainize." Holy smokes, Pam Bondi may be "The One", so you may have hit pay dirt here. Almost as if the Trump team planned it this way. I figure she's a shoe-in for confirmation and may or may not walk softly, but she's a big stick. The wag tongues are already choking.

    Edit add: After posting this I completed reading other posts here and it looks like others are noticing the same thing.

    Trumo got a better one (Pam) all right, better for the right, but a total disaster for the left, even more so than Gaetz. How would it be possible to vet out the perfect person that actually knows and does the job?

    The weird things is that some of those Republican Senators (I use that term lightly) who were against Gaetz, voted to confirm Garland as the current AG.

    Is it possible that nominating him was to make the next nomination easier to usher in?

    Pretty awesome when Republicans can place the gender card. Don't think there has been a female AG before, or was I just not paying attention?

    The new AG candidate is Pam Bondi, former Florida AG. She's well qualified (a fact that made a lot of MSNBC heads explode), with a strong conservative record on immigrant eviction and crime busting. Equally important, she's a very trusted Trump supporter. It makes me suspicious that Gaetz might have been a sacrificial stalking horse to set up the Bondi selection as a deal that's hard to refuse.

    I can't think of any female who has defended the US Constitution and limited the fedgov power well.
    I would love to be proven wrong.
