The Gaetz withdrawal is a victory for women.

[speak easy]

Every sexual abuser who is forced to step down or step aside or withdraw is s victory against Your Body My Choice.

1. He didn't have the appointment to step down from.

3. I look at it like the next pick could be squeaky clean

and get all the votes in the senate and destroy justice due to being smarter. Gaetz would have had a very difficult time at justice. But point taken, we cannot have sexual abusers in the cabinet.

5. It also shows that Trump will back down when

the pushback issue is strong enough for him to lose. If something he does is so repulsive that the pushback is really strong, he will not let himself be seen as losing to his own MAGA supporters.

I do not think that Gaetz made the decision to withdraw. I think that Trump saw that he did not have the Senate votes and told Gaetz to withdraw.

7. Exactly. It wasn't a 'choice.'

He was TOLD to withdraw. This way Trump can appear as though he hadn't backed down. Even allowing him to give Gaetz a half assed slap on the back on the way out.

9. It spared Trump from looking bad when his own team in the Senate refused to vote for him.

6. OK, but where are the charges? It appears that he committed crimes and will not be held

accountable.

8. They'd need to

build a whole new facility to house all of MAGA's criminals.
