she is good, she said it is hard to prove witness intimidation because you have to prove intent.

Gaetz disagrees with the scientific consensus on climate change caused by humans, and proposed legislation to "completely abolish" the EPA.

He also falsely claimed George Soros paid for a caravan of migrants from Central America to the US.

Tribe is right. Indict him, kick his ass out of Congress.

A pathetic smug, smirking little shit, who never had to face responsibility for his behavior. His father, Don, was a long-time politician in the area. A powerful man of influence. Every time Matt got pulled over by the FL State Troopers, the Escambia County Sheriff's department or the Pensacola and Gulf Breeze cops for public intox, disturbing the peace, driving drunk, his father pulled strings or threatened or intimidated public safety officials to get his released.

By all accounts, his sorry ass should be rotting in jail somewhere. It's a wonder he never killed anyone with his drunk driving.

You can google his mug shot: he's the one in the orange jumpsuit of county lock-up.

No way in hell am I ever voting for that rat fink. There are people with a few brain cells to rub together living along the Emerald Coast. But sadly, not enough to out vote the other brain dead voters.

From '66 - '72, and had a daughter born there.

As you note, there are more Matt Gaetz voters than

folks like you. All over the South, exceptions growing into a critical mass, which can't come too soon to suit me.

The politics of spite is alive there; the spite of voters is stronger than the cool headedness of other voters, which is why they hustle themselves out to register it.

Spittin' spite is a way of life for many.
