(40,168 posts)but I can tell by looking at Matt Gaetz that he has serious issues. I saw him on TV for the first time last week, and he is one fucked-up dude.

(46,700 posts)In the nineties, there was a man behind a huge anti-government movement in Central Florida. He pushed his ideas through private groups that rubbed elbows with community leaders and elected officials. A lot of unfair maneuvers in community development occurred because of their secretative efforts. Much was underhanded, because of the private way they operated.
Well, the guy was a huffer and died by huffing. Whether it's alcoholism or drugs, we should be told what drives these twisted people.

(3,724 posts)no, coercing a foreign nation to give you dirt on your candidate in order to sway the results are "interfering with an election".
Try to understand the difference, you ignorant fuck.
