Oh boy, he's just being silly now...
Trump Transition Live Updates: President-Elect Picks Matt Gaetz as Attorney General*
No way will Matt "I like em real young!" Gaetz be confirmed Attorney General of the US. Just look at that mug... and it's not like he has ANY accomplishments to offset who he is.
I don't think Hegeseth, the Minnesota guy who went to Princeton as a basketball admit, went adventuring like so many similar men to Iraq as a National Guard soldier in that losing war, went to Hahvard Kennedy School of government as an affirmative action "vet" admit, and then parlayed his education and National Guard experience into setting up a MN non-profit (they're rife up here) where he hired his biological brother at an inflated salary and spent 1/3 of the money collected on Christmas parties for vets... is such a great pick either.
He's just a PR/fundraiser guy really.
The man has been married three times, and had a child out of wedlock while cheating on his wife with a woman at Fox. (I get it -- Donald Trump has a similar backstory, but... this is offset by Trump's work and his aging.) The military values discipline, loyalty and hard work: I just don't see any of that in Hegeseth's rather soft background myself.
Without recess appointments, these two loyal soldiers of Trump likely will not be confirmed. There's just no "there" there to justify these men in those positions. Best have backup picks lined up, I think...
I know Gaetz won't be confirmed; he's just plain unlikeable. And my fear is if Hegeseth gets in, the country will still be on autopilot like under Joe Biden, taking military orders from Bibi and AIPAC.
Let's see if Donald Trump can do what he said and deliver a negotiated peace to both Ukraine/Russia and Israel/Palestine. We've got to get their war spending off our payments ledger, and put the billions we're shipping to Netanyahu and Zelensky to use in our own backyards so Joe Six-Pack isn't paying for their fight.

* He should have gone with Vivek in this role. Even RFK Jr. would be a better choice, if we're trying to turn back the clock and don't care about their sex lives...
I also don't think the Catholics who turned out for Trump will be much impressed with these two men as his picks... Personal discipline and getting the job done -- winning! -- matters. Where is that in the background of these two? Where are their accomplishments? Hm.
