Stuff like this reminds me of Billy Jeff Clinton firing EVERY US Attorney General in all the States (all 57 States). He fired them his first week in office. He didn’t want anyone investigating all of his lifetime of shenanigans.

When GWB fired 7 or 8, the democRATS and Drive-By Media had a field day.

420 days is over 1 year? 365 days in a year roughly.

He could also direct the full strength of the RNC to support primary challenges against those who don’t vote to confirm his appointments.

There is an easier way... “I will not sign ANYTHING until you do”. Shut down their corrupt tax theft until they confirm. They like their pocket change, they will fold.

I suspect he is not sending Gaetz there to run it or maintain it. He is sending him there as a dark knight with a chainsaw to turn it upside down and gut the toxic waste inhabiting it even if it’s hiding under the civil service label. His job is done after that. A year or two of recess appointment tenure will do the trick
