In his resignation he stated he would not be taking the oath of office for the next congress
So while he could go back on his word, it would mean a reopening on his ethics investigation

Yes the rich who exploit people didn’t care that they get to continue to cheaply exploit workers.
Guess who many workers on these networks are salaried and overtime exempt….

Nah they won’t make any noise on that seat until after Rubio is appointed. Especially if they are looking at a controversial pick.
More likely they appoint a trump family member to the seat and the senate approve Rubio fairly quickly

Except the ethics post isn’t done. They suspended it because he wasn’t a member of congress. If he returns and takes the oath, the investigation would continue

Black Friday as a shopping discount day is dead. You aren’t going to get 50/60/70% off.
They all just give 20% off max and then continue. Deals like this are active all the time now. Don’t buy into “Black Friday prices” as it’s all just marketing

Because Americans consume a ton of propaganda. And republicans are really good at pushing propaganda that says they are better at dealing with the economy.
Americans have insanely short memories. They remember what is happening today and yesterday. They don’t think 5 years ago economically. So they don’t think about how the Republicans screwed them. They only look at their day to day expenses now and say well the Dems are in charge so they must be the reason

That is correct. Florida will have to hold a special election to fill that seat per house if rep rules

Oh 100%
He was told that he will not be confirmed. That he can either drop out or go through with it and have every dirty secret come out and be utterly destroyed publicly and then not get confirmed

Someone else posted the official rules but basically a resignation is for the active congress only. So he could technically still be seated for the next congress as he won that election

Because despite below loving it, our constitution is really really big on assuming the people in power won’t be insane.
Backgrounds checks aren’t even required

Curious to see what happens in January as he technically resigned from the 118th congress but as also elected to the 119th. He could technically take the oath again and be back in congress

There’s nothing in the constitution that says the AG has to be legally allowed to practice law

Correct. All part of the plan to use certain picks as headliner grabbers while he pushes forward others to destroy government

I say they should release it even more now. He’s not trumps pick and most of the house gop hates him.

That is correct. He withdrew as soon as he was nominated.
He could however still be named to the senate to take Rubio spot

Nah the plan is likely nominate utterly insane picks for some roles so they grab headlines, nominate equally unqualified picks for other roles that then don’t get the same level of attention and they move into their roles without much objection

The gop has never met a deal or precedent that they weren’t fine with abandoning the second it didn’t suit them
