Call me weird, but I have enjoyed all the "botox boy withdrawing" posts

today. Each and every one has given me a moment of warm fuzzies. And Goddess knows, we need every one we can get.

So, THANK YOU!!!

1. It's all fun and games until DeSantis gives him a Senate seat

Could Ron Desantis Appoint Matt Gaetz To The Senate?

“Senator Gaetz” was trending on X, formerly known as Twitter, within minutes of Gaetz announcing he was removing himself from consideration for attorney general. One Florida Senate seat will likely be open for appointment by DeSantis as Trump announced he is nominating Sen. Marco Rubio to be secretary of state. DeSantis could technically appoint Gaetz to that seat as he has no current role in Congress, but DeSantis said on Monday he has “already received strong interest from several possible candidates, and we continue to gather names of additional candidates and conduct preliminary vetting.” He said vetting would continue through the coming weeks and he expects a selection to be made in early January.

as Paxton's name re-entered the conversation and I've been living that particular nightmare for years in Texas.

I wasn't trying to rain on your parade, as it were. Sorry if it came off that way.
