Was the Gaetz nomination the "secret" between them that they threatened to ensure TFG's success?

But Putin helped push up the numbers just enough to make it a mandate.

There are no secrets in DC. Everyone there knows exactly what happened.

and expects payment in full.

The puppets are only too happy to comply as they have total unlimited, permanent power
and access to all US assets and resources.

It is the biggest crime in US history.

Can rip off the US taxpayer, make a killing on the stock market with insider trading, etc.

But they will only be naming post offices from now on.

Yes some of them are slow learners but they will learn quite quickly their place in the universe.

They are trying to pull off something else and want people not to see it. You know they will confirm Gaetz because they confirmed Trump, a convicted felon, sexual abuser, thief and rapist.
