Has anyone watched Get me Roger Stone on Netflix?

I watched last night - don't know why I torture myself - but I did not know much about his history. Scum. I had to stop at the last few minutes because I did not want to re-live election night. The documentary goes back to his start, he just loved Nixon. Lol he has the largest collection - he says - of Nixon campaign paraphernalia including a couple Nixon bongs. He has a Nixon tattoo on his back.

He pretty much invented PACs. Was the slimiest of lobbyists. Long time friend of Manafort and Trump. Past president of Young Republicans. A Libertarian. I hope he finally got caught up in illegality and he goes down for it.

Oh and he'd probably love this post about him as his one of his rules is better to be infamous than never famous. WTF.

It gave me allot of insight on the bizarre nature of Trump and his campaign staff.

Solely because Stone is such an oily character that I fear it would leave too much of a bad taste in my mouth.

And mind you my recent Netflix viewing has been extremely dark. I've watched documentaries on the OKC bombing, Sandy Hook and Auschwitz, as well as the movie "Beasts of No Nation" about child soldiers in Africa.

Still it's Roger Stone who seems to disturb me to the point I'm hesitant to watch.
