What do you think are the real reasons Matt Gaetz just withdrew his name for Attorney General in the upcoming Trump administration?

When reporters asked him to confirm this story, he withdrew his candidacy.

It’s pretty straight forward: Gaetz was accused of having sex with a 17 year old in 2017, this was already the established narrative and in the public eye prior to today and part of the Greenburg narrative. What came out today and sunk his chances was this;

Republicans were trying to make a meal of the idea that Gaetz didn’t know that she was 17 until after the sex had occured. If that was the case, why did he go back for another round?

The main thing is that the story got worse.

That’s why it happened. He didn’t have the votes to become Attorney General and he was embarrassing Donald Trump both of those are also true.

Gaetz apparently had sex with her a second time.

I’m wondering about attachment and transference with the therapist and the idea of escape and fantasy? How much do you think your strong feelings, constant thoughts, desires to be with your therapist are a way to escape from your present life? I wonder if the transference serves another purpose than to show us our wounds and/or past experiences, but is a present coping strategy for managing what we don’t want to face (even if unconsciously) in the present—-current relationships, life circumstances, etc. Can anyone relate to this concept of escape in relation to their therapy relationship? How does this play out for you?

Gaetz just made Clinton look like a choir boy.

Why is this such a scandal?
