^this is excellent analysis

I have no experience in this area, so I have no idea what the rules are. But rules as cited, I think the way to do it is to appoint Gaetz as deputy director and have him stand in as the director... since there isn't one.

As for the last part, I can see two main reasons why Trump is pushing so hard for Gaetz. 1)"because I can 2)it's part of some big behind the scenes thing that we don't have a full picture about at the moment. Serving as a loyalty litmus test, as some have suggested, may indeed be the

Say you have an individual in the Army, likely an Appointee, that gets pulled to fill in as the Under Secretary of the Army due to an immediate vacancy. If that fill-in does a bang up job, and gets the nod to ultimately fill that roll through an appointment, then he/she must go back to the role previously filled until final confirmation. So, the vacancy from where the acting came from will remain vacant until they either step down, or return. Has nothing to do with the process Trump intends on using as it's just the process.

Looking at the act and congressional reviews, it reads as if Gaetz wouldn't be eligible under the act.

BLUF:
Eligble people are:
1. First assistant, I.E. deputy director
2. Someone else appointed through Senate process
3. GS-15 or SES member of that agency



Additionally, there's wording that states the temp appointment cannot be the person nominated for the role.

Idk why they're doing all this weirdness for Gaetz when the GOP owns all the government right now. It seems more difficult than just forcing the confirmation process. Besides, doing the senate process will force people to vote, so you can identify those who won't.

Then Trump could push to:

Yes, this bullshit happened last time he was President. You had Left Wing idiots leading DOJ literally causing havoc for the administration. Remember Sally Yates? Yeah none of those people whoever attempted to subvert the 2016 election saw the inside of a prison.

Pennsylvania Governor Slams ‘Irresponsible’ Democratic County Commissioners for Ignoring Election Law | National Review

Pennsylvania Governor Josh Shapiro took aim at Democratic county officials on Monday for openly defying the state’s supreme court ruling regarding the counting of illegal ballots.
“Any insinuation that our laws can be ignored or do not matter is irresponsible and does damage to faith in our electoral process,” the Democratic governor said. “The rule of law matters in Pennsylvania. … It is critical for counties in both parties to respect it with both their rhetoric and their actions.”

Shapiro added that he will “continue working to protect our democracy and the votes of all eligible Pennsylvanians.”

So the good people of Delaware elected a biological male that dresses as a female to represent them in the House of Representatives. Well, some women in the House aren't about that life.

I find it interesting that women are starting to care about women's sports, but they're not interested in protecting them much in certain states.

A good article on how we are still at war with the far left's social justice campaign, and how a meritocracy and their brand cannot live harmoniously with one another.

Not to go off tangent but I'm hoping one day that those who call Biden a centrist, openly discuss why they would think so when Biden has been all in for social justice himself. That's not what a centrist is by definition. Neither was Obama, and neither was Clinton either.

bro. Your fatal flaw here is thinking definitions matter. They don’t. We are living in full double speak/semantic overload world. Just lean into it- speak your truth in plain language and don’t bother with the labels.

And if you go one step further and ignore labels other people use for themselves (“liberal”, “centrist”, “conservative”) and just watch their actions, your life gets immediately better. Just an offering.

Sage advice, thank you. My problem is that I don't play with double tongues and this game of thrones semantical play is what I consider to be intellectually deficient and intellectually dishonest. I can't respect a person when they use these words to flat out LIE. It's propaganda.

I'm a centrist, to put so an so whom obviously are not these types is demeaning to actual centrists. But again, all IMO of course.

But I still do want to discuss this. It's a culture war. So let's do battle and fact check the deliberate misuse of words.
