Dem Sen. Murphy: Trump Nominating Gaetz for AG ‘Red Alert Moment for American Democracy’
Breitbart ^ | 11/13/2024 | Pam Key
Posted on 11/13/2024 6:20:10 PM PST by ChicagoConservative27
Senator Chris Murphy (D-CT) said Wednesday on CNN’s “The Lead” that President-elect Donald Trump’s nomination of Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-FL) as his attorney general was a “red-alert moment for American democracy.”
Murphy said, “I was walking off the Senate floor just moments ago when the news was announced. You could literally hear the jaws dropping to the floor of Republican senators who are now going to be in a position to stand up to Donald Trump in a way that they have been unwilling to.”

Since Murphy is acting like a retard over this, Trump made the right choice.

So, now the mantra will be that everything trump will do is a threat to democracy. this is going to get really boring.

A fight over Gaetz but I’d preferI prefer that Trump concentrate on moving all those jobs out of D.C. He lost Virginia by 45k. Scatter a couple hundred thousand jobs around the country, the people will take the transfer and turn the state red again.

This is a repeat of Governor William J LePetomane’s reaction in Blazing Saddles. Mel Brookes just played the part a bit better than Murphy.

As stated on a FR thread several days ago, substitute bureaucracy for the given term democracy to understand what the Leftist panic is about.

We need a red alert moment.

That is the way I see it. And as far as I am concerned, fine. Fine. Let them stew and screech.
The hand-wringing by some on this forum is astonishing. We are in a damned fight for the future of this nation.
When the Left sees Trump and his actions as an “existential threat” to them, they are, and I pray to God they are, right about that.
Even though they have no idea what “existential” even means, the dopes.

Maybe the new AG can string together a bunch of Misdemeanors, the statutes of limitations of which have expired, to create a felony conspiracy crime to charge some democrats. There math cannot be perfect and there must be some error in there somewhere...

They’re scaring people to suicide.
They need to stop.
If they think they are building support for something bigger they are wrong.
Very wrong.

The only reason we just had anything even remotely resembling “democracy” was because of an unflagging and overwhelming campaign, the likes of which I never expect to see repeated in my lifetime.
These people have Hillary’s tin ear.

Recess appointment, it’s all been planned out.
He’ll be the next AG. No stopping it.

No, no, no! Do not pollute red or purple states with career civil servants. Best to have Virginia and Maryland blue forever than to risk infecting red states.
