MAGA, you got played... AGAIN!

Will his nomination be withdrawn by Trump?

Will he be indicted this time with more evidence?

Will he cut a plea deal and rat out others if Trump doesn't pardon him (in time or at all - remember Gaetz ALREADY asked for a post J6 pardon & didn't get it)

Will he be intolerably exposed & withdraw himself pre / during the confirmation hearings?

Will Trump issue a preemptive or pre-Senate vote pardon for him if he can delay action against Gaetz until his innaugruration?

PLEASE Recall Freshman Representative Madison Cathornes (R-NC) claims of "cocaine, orgies & espionage".

Specifically he stated: "The sexual perversion that goes on in Washington... being kind of a young guy in Washington, where the average age is probably 60 or 70 -- [you] look at all these people, a lot of them that I've looked up to through my life, I've always paid attention to politics. ... Then all of a sudden you get invited -- 'We're going to have a sexual get-together at one of our homes, you should come.' ... What did you just ask me to come to? And then you realize they're asking you to come to an orgy. ... Some of the people leading on the movement to try and remove addiction in our country, and then you watch them do a key bump of cocaine right in front of you. And it's like, this is wild."

I would have liked to put the timeline units in Scaramuccis but I thought not everyone is familiar with that measurement system...

Ross Perot ran as an independent candidate for President of the United States in 1992 focusing on several key issues:

Economic Policy:

Perot's primary focus was on balancing the federal budget and reducing the national debt. He advocated for:

Economy Reforms:

Cutting government waste and inefficiency

Simplifying the tax code

Stimulating economic growth and job creation

Political Reforms

Perot positioned himself as an outsider seeking to reform Washington. His proposals included:

Implementing electronic "town hall" meetings for direct democracy

Limiting the influence of special interest groups and lobbyists

Instituting congressional term limits

Trade Policy

Perot strongly opposed the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA), ("that giant sucking sound from Mexico") arguing it would lead to job losses in the United States.

Other Issues

Supported stricter gun control measures.

Favored increased research into AIDS.

Advocated for comprehensive national healthcare reform.

Initially hesitant on gay rights in 1992, but openly supportive by 1996.

Perot's campaign style was unconventional, relying heavily on television appearances and infomercials to communicate directly with voters. His populist message and outsider status resonated with many Americans, leading to a strong showing for a third-party candidate in 1992, when he received 19% of the popular vote.

The Justice Department says it has thwarted an Iranian plot to kill President-elect Donald Trump in the weeks leading up to the election.

A criminal complaint filed in federal court in New York City says an unnamed official in Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps had asked Farhad Shakeri, 51, of Iran, in September to "focus on surveilling, and, ultimately, assassinating, former President of the United States, Donald J. Trump."

"There are few actors in the world that pose as grave a threat to the national security of the United States as does Iran," Attorney General Merrick Garland said in a statement. "The Justice Department has charged an asset of the Iranian regime who was tasked by the regime to direct a network of criminal associates to further Iran’s assassination plots against its targets, including President-elect Donald Trump."

Will Trump's desire for vengeance cause further destabilization in the region?

Would we be viewed as doing Israel's "dirty work"?
