Less than 24 hours after Matt Gaetz announced he was giving up his bid to become the next attorney general, the Northwest Florida Republican made clear that he will not return to Congress in the next session beginning in January.

Trump’s campaign was big on vengeance, and the various unjust kangaroo courts that are going to spin up are going to be a nightmare.
But I’m not sure Merrick Garland’s prosecution is going to get much sympathy from the left.
I mean… he’ll really only have himself to blame. Garland was better equipped than anyone else in the country to hold Trump and his criminal cohort accountable for their literal treason, but he decided to drag his feet and avoid making waves. And for what? To avoid the appearance of the DOJ being “political”?
Well he’s about to find out exactly how political it can be.
Silver lining is he’s going to go after all the neoliberals because they’re in leadership positions.
I’m not near enough optimistic to think it’ll happen, but there’s a path forward where if trump does start prosecuting people like Pelosi or Schumer… That the neoliberals cut bait and run, it’s like natural selection, the only Dems who will stay in office or run for it will be ones knowing it puts a target on their back. But willing to fight anyways.
Moderates don’t have it in them to lead, and they’re too proud to follow.
But making life hard for elected Dems usually gets them out of the way at least.
Literally the last time trump was elected it happened, Donna Brazil managed to get an interm leadership position to where she could see the books, because everyone in on Hillary’s bullshit resigned when she lost.
If it wasn’t for that, we wouldn’t have known for sure how rigged that primary was.
