    Since everyone is doing it (a perfectly valid reason for doing things, as attested by the behaviour of 99.378% of the human race), I want to change my username, too. I've been "Asyncritus" for too long now, and the other Asyncritters are getting jealous.

    Bickenwhateveryourstupidnameisnow, please change my name to "Asyncritus". And then next week, make it "Asyncritus".

    Thank you.

    I recommend "Phlegon", "Epenetus", "Herodian", "Patrobus", or "Philologus".

    I find the constant name changes confusing.

    Moderators, please change my name to Bickendan, so we have at least some sense of continuity.

    That's private. Per Matthew 18 I need to go to them with my grievances first.

    You are aware that's when the board does its auto-Packard ban attempts, right?

    This guy Greenberg tried to paint a political opponent as a pedophile. The feds are going to need more than Greenberg’s say so to go after Gaetz.

    I also know there's code built into the system that ensures those attempts will never succeed.

    Given how he operates how hard would it be to set up a sting with Matt? The people caught on TCaP multiple times seem to be better at this than him.

    From all appearances, it would seem that the feds would have potential access to a bunch of evidence in the form of text messaging, e-mails and literal receipts in the form of electronic payments between Gaetz and Greenberg, not to mention potential testimony from the party attendees.

    Let us hope this goes somewhere because this guy is the type to have an Island where he can go do anything he wants. We might want to put this animal in a cage. This way he does not feel so bad about being such a deplorable snot.

    This may be wishful thinking, but one wonders if there's a broader strategy at play here.

    Rope in Gaetz on rock-solid evidence, and then get him to sing like a canary about the former occupant of the White House.

    Hey, Al Capone was brought down by his tax return. :shrug:

    I remember when one of the prosecutors out of New York said they were ready to indict Trump as soon as he was out of office.

    Of course, he got on a plane and flew off to Florida, where the Governor who wants to be the next Republican POTUS has the ability to block said indictment.

    But Trump has decided to summer in NJ now. I wonder if they were waiting to have access to him without interference.

    Preet Bharara, a former SDNY US Attorney, has stated he believes something is coming down the pike soon, as SDNY has obtained the services of an elite NY lawyer Mark Pomerantz.

    It hit the news a while back and the assumption was that Gaetz had been banging the kid when he was underage.

    The story came out after Gaetz claimed to have a son in an interview about a year ago. Turns out the boy is not related to him in any way, and has been living with him at least part time since he was 12. Nestor was the child of one of Gaetz's ex-girlfriends.

    Also upsetting to me - the house in the Truman Show where Truman lived was in fact Gaetz' family home, and his parents still live there.
