I'm sorry that Texag's sponsors forced the removal of the Texags' QAnon thread. It was good place to check the pulse.

Between that and the Baylor "Highway 6 runs both ways" Bears winning a big time national championship there's gotta be some depression setting in over there.

Greenberg and Gaetz are also connected on Venmo to at least one other woman that Greenberg paid with taxpayer funds using a government-issued credit card. Seminole County auditors flagged hundreds of those payments as “questioned or unaccounted for,” and in total found more than $300,000 in suspicious or unjustified expenses. The Daily Beast was able to obtain that credit card data through a public records request.

“No one has any idea what he was doing. Zero,” said Daniel J. O'Keefe, an accountant who conducted a forensic audit for the county. “The arrogance of these guys. They just felt they were above the law. I've never seen it this bad.”

O’Keefe was particularly puzzled by weekend expenses, hotels, unspecified high-dollar “consulting” fees, and cash advances that Greenberg made to himself and others. The Daily Beast has compared Greenberg’s credit card statements and Venmo transactions to Gaetz’s expenses and travel records—compiled through campaign finance reports, Instagram posts, and Venmo—and found that, in some key places, the two timelines and circles of contact overlap.

Gaetz and Greenberg share Venmo connections with at least two women who received payments from Greenberg, and both have professional relationships with each other.

In 2018, Greenberg also paid another woman, a mutual friend of Gaetz's, several thousand dollars using his taxpayer-backed Seminole County-issued Wells Fargo Visa card, according to county financial records obtained by The Daily Beast. Auditors flagged the transactions, saying that, despite having a contract and invoice from the company, they “do not know what it was for.”

Yeah Matt, you go ahead and hide those transactions that were previously public.  I'm sure the boys and girls of the FBI will surely be outsmarted by you, and never ever think of having the DOJ issue a subpoena for every transaction you made on that platform.

Isn’t $300 per girl low....?  I always imagine that if you are paying especially high profile that you are paying a lot more than that. 

Not enough service time to be arb-eligible. I bet the one who turned pro in film is caking. Relatively of course.

Has anyone seen the stage name of the one who turned pro?  Asking for a friend...

Random thoughts:

- That woman appears to be at least 10 years older than her husband (that's OK, just kinda odd for contemporary discussion). 

- The music is better than most of what my kids listen to on Radio Disney.   

- "Matriarch" is launching her music career and using sex trafficking for inspiration.  I guess CPAC is some sort of variety show now?

Yeah, but it's Bitcoin, not Bitchcoin.  

No, you're thinking of what Gaetz does to Trump's balls---Spitchain.  Some men will do anything for a pardon.  

I picture Gaetz explaining himself to Trump, and seeking his forgiveness, like the young guy in "Airplane II" talking to the priest on the shuttle.  "You see, Mr. President.  There were these two 17 year old girls near my Florida office.  And I stole fake IDs for them from my friend's county tax office.  And I used illicit campaign funds to pay for them for sex in the Bahamas and Bermuda.  And I made one of them get an abortion.  And we were all drunk and and coked up, and then......(SNEEZE!)"

Trump, "bless you."

Gaetz, "Oh thank you Donald, thank you!"

There are probably a lot of men silently thanking Gaetz for reminding them to check their Venmo privacy settings.  

So I don't use Venmo.  But -- and believe me, this is purely a hypothetical -- when I write a check for $900, is it bad to put in the memo line "For minor women transported across state lines"?
