I know little about his cabinet picks but these no substance meltdowns are telling.

Interview from 2016:

Pretty remarkable that he was talking about all the craziness that we see today in 2016. It was already an issue then, but today it is obvious to all how big these issues are.

Can all of these actually get confirmed?

Rubio is now confirmed. Was getting scared.

I think he nominated Gaetz to make sure everyone else gets confirmed. I can’t imagine he gets through though. Just on ethics alone.

So who is the real AG pick?

Someone just as nuts, but will get confirmed on the merit of not being Matt Gaetz.

The upside is he leaves the house, so he can't overthrow the speaker when he wants.

Lots of people on X are posting they want Scott Jennigs from CNN for Pres Sec.

More importantly for him, if he isn't a member of Congress, the ethics investigation goes away.

Some pundits are saying that his chances to get confirmed are null, he's just used by Trump so that when he will pick someone instead everyone will breath a sigh of relief and confirm that nominee, when they wouldn't had they been picked first
