Surely to be a clown show. We know that RFK certainly thinks he’s getting nominated for HHS, which includes FDA.

He's resigned from congress, so they can just dump the investigation. If he's not confirmed by the Senate, he's free to look into other opportunities (like FL governor). Looks like Trump just did him a favor and made the bad news go away.

If we are already getting anonymous "holy shirt this guy is annoying" stories I'm not sure Elon Musk makes it to Inauguration Day in Trump's inner circle. He might be on a 2016 Transition Chair Chris Christie arc https://www.nbcnews.com/news/amp/rcna179826
Apparently Elon is overstaying his welcome down at Mar-a-Lago.

We can all come a long way since college but this is concerning
========================================
Pete Hegseth, the Army National Guard veteran, and former Fox News weekend host and President-elect Donald Trump’s pick to lead the Department of Defense, experienced a political awakening at Princeton University.
Hegseth detailed his journey to self-discovery in one of the many pieces he wrote as publisher of The Princeton Tory, a conservative magazine at the Ivy League school.
“When I first arrived at Princeton, I honestly didn’t know the fundamental differences between Republicans and Democrats,” Hegseth wrote in a September 2002 publisher’s note. “That being said, I was raised with a general appreciation for government, patriotism, and small-town values, but most importantly, my parents instilled in me a thorough understanding of right and wrong—and an unwavering faith in an almighty God. Needless to say, when I arrived at Princeton, my eyes were opened quickly and they’ve been wide open ever since.”
TPM reviewed Hegseth’s youthful writings, including one year of columns for the Tory. They represent some of his earliest forays into political commentary, as Hegseth highlighted aspects of campus life that evidently turned him into a conservative firebrand. In pieces for the Tory, Hegseth and the team he oversaw railed against efforts to promote diversity on campus and what they described as the immoral “homosexual lifestyle.” Hegseth also cheered the Iraq War, wondered whether Princeton was too laudatory of Martin Luther King Jr., and advocated for children receiving “strong discipline” from their parents “in the form of spankings, moving next to soap-in-the-mouth.” .............
Hegseth made much more of an impact in the school’s political scene. He won an election to be class senator his freshman year after campaigning on a promise to “get the job done and get the job done right.” And, in March 2002, he began a stint as publisher of the Tory that lasted through the end of that year. In his first publisher’s note, Hegseth said his goal for the magazine was to highlight the “traditional core to the Princeton experience” amid what he described as the “liberal noise” on campus.
“As conservatives it is our duty to present the other side of the story—the right side,” Hegseth wrote.
A photo of the Tory staff published in that issue featured Hegseth in a “Sore Loserman” t-shirt mocking the unsuccessful 2000 presidential campaign run by former Vice President Al Gore and ex-Connecticut Senator Joe Lieberman.
At the time Hegseth took over the Tory, which was founded in 1984, America was grappling with the aftermath of the September 11th attacks and the beginnings of the Global War on Terror. Hegseth contributed to that debate in a March 2002 issue with a column where he blamed the case of “American Taliban” John Walker Lindh and other terrorist sympathizers in the country on the “absence of a male disciplinary figure.”
“While mothers often do play the role of family disciplinarian, no phrase has been more responsible for keeping American kids awake at night than ‘wait until your father gets home,’” Hegseth wrote before making his case for “spankings” and “soap-in-the-mouth.” He went on to suggest that, along with a lack of fatherly discipline, “free expression,” and public schools were to blame.
“More and more parents are ushering their kids to public schools at the tender age of three or four, expecting them to not only learn arithmetic, but also right from wrong. Unfortunately, atheist public schools, long stripped of any redemptive moral value, have outlawed God and related discussions of moral absolutes,” Hegseth wrote. “Don’t expect your local teacher to train up a moral child, because they are obligated to encourage any and every lifestyle your child embraces…even those of little Johnny, the Al-Qaeda sympathizer.”.............

This is certainly possible. For those wondering about the process, the House Ethics Committee is comprised of five members of each party - but action of the committee is by majority vote. This means that either party, if voting in unison, can prevent any action. In other words, the GOP members tomorrow can refuse to release the report including on grounds that the committee no longer has jurisdiction.
In the confirmation process, the Senate Judiciary Committee could theoretically request or even subpoena the file but this won’t happen because (a) the committee will be GOP-controlled and the minority party doesn’t have subpoena power and (b) it’s unclear whether the Senate can subpoena a House committee in the first place - it would probably be left to internal comity, which means that it can be shut down.

And let me add... Trump has to know there is zero chance Kennedy gets confirmed. He keeps his promise only to blame the Senate for not letting it go through. The only way Kennedy sees the inside of HHS is as a visitor or as a recess appointment.

I read a post today from someone who says he knows the underage girl. She was a high school student and had braces at the time. He should be facing charges, IMO. There was plenty of other depravity in the report. I hope someone leaks it.
All the posturing about pedophilia that MAGA does is just that - posturing. They don’t care about it unless it’s LGBTQ people involved, clearly.

What is the other place and what happened? I’m curious.
Andrus does a great job with this site. It is a small community, but there are some very smart posters. I always learn things here. I trust many of the posters here.
Back to regularly scheduled programs. How will the intel agencies hide from Tulsi, particularly if they have evidence on her connections to nefarious operators?
