Money, orgies, and pedoohelia? Why does that sound familiar?

Embattled Republican leader Matt Gaetz who will become the attorney general if cleared by the Senate, which is unlikely, has now been accused of attending at least 10 sex parties between 2017 and 2018 when he was serving his first term in Congress.

....

Lawyer Joel Leppard representing two women who already testified before the House Ethics Committee said his clients informed the probe panel that drugs were consumed at those sex parties. One of the women claimed to have seen Gaetz having sex with an underage friend up against a games table.

No reasonable company would send their citizens to work in the USA when there is every possibility that they could be indefinitely detained or "deported" to some third world gulag at the whim of the Trump administration.

He had access to the back of the monitor. It was just mounted on a frame. He probably unplugged the input and plugged into the same port.

Maybe the thermians watched Star Trek too and used those characters for their holographic disguises.

Just had the same thought. I don't think I've watched it since I was a kid and saw it in the theater. When I stumble on an old movie like this, I always like to check who was in it. It's fun to see who was in old stuff who really hit it big.

Wizards came out in February 1977. Three months before Star Wars: A New Hope came out. Mark Hamill actually voiced one of the fairies in Wizards! I'm kind of geeking out a little bit.

The link works fine for me. Might be some kind of geo-blocking issue.

Here's an Archive link to the article.

I actually find it kind of fascinating. There are loads of people in this thread defending this guy and saying that he's being victimized by a corrupt system, all the while not noticing that he is a retired cop who spent his career as part of that corrupt system and who almost certainly sent more than a few people to jail for a couple of months on charges as bogus as these seem to be. That sounds like it might be karmic payback to me.

Personally, I'm just keeping an open mind and suspecting that there is more to the story based on the rather large bail.

I wondered if we would see vision restored more to normal when I heard about Wonder Man coming out. In the original comics, Wonder Man was the source for Vision's brain pattern. I wonder if there will be a tie-in of some sort as a nod to the comic Vision's origin.

Color me shocked. I mean from the administration of the man who said, take the guns first and due process later.

Take the guns first - Trump
