Folks, just buy physical media again. Try it; you'll like it. And you'll actually own it. Won't it be nice to watch something without the fact that you decided to watch it going into some giant data set about YOU stored in a polluting, resource stealing center somewhere?

"I better use some Tic Tacs just in case I start kissing her. You know I'm automatically attracted to beautiful... I just start kissing them. It's like a magnet. Just kiss. I don't even wait. And when you're a star they let you do it. You can do anything."

The corruption is the worst in US history and we need big changes, not the Chuck Schumers -- we need the Angie Nixons, Justin Pearsons, and Aftyn Behns!

Oh, good grief! Tucker Carlson is certifiably insane. Such a . . . . . . . What's a good word for wimpy, self-deluded, self-important, narcissistic white supremacist piece of shit?
Here's what Tucker Carlson is up to when he talks to his own audience, instead of interviewers from NPR or NY Times: Explaining that white people are facing extinction and the ADL is trying to cover it up. He concludes, "Noticing is hate. Noticing is violence." www.mediamatters.org/tucker-carls...

Well, if I were Jane Doe, I would be very happy about this. Letitia James is a superhero and a f**kin' rock star avenger for the people in my book. Her ability to remain calm and professional makes Trump look so stupid in his hate and I am awed by it.

"Like so many things in the Trump era, you can thank .. John Roberts for this entire mess. Had the worst chief justice in history not overseen the wholesale degradation & kneecapping of the lower courts, we wouldn’t be here. Just as much as Todd Blanche, Roberts owns this.."

New in PN: The mendaciousness of the latest DOJ attack on judges

"What 'canons' did all but one of MN's district court judges violate? Well, they spoke to the Times and made Trump sad. You won't be surprised to learn this is not in fact a violation, but that isn’t going to stop Blanche, now is it?"

MAGA is a hate filled death cult.
Apparently for the MAGA true believers, there is no discernible difference between Trump and Jesus, and the animating force that unites them is hatred for and a desire to exterminate Muslims (or you can substitute trans people, Blacks, Hispanics, gays, Indian-Americans... as necessary).
"He's gonna fix it. Believe in him ... all the abortion, it's evil ... I want to see 2 people -- Trump & Jesus...we do not want Muslims taking over...I have horrible thoughts. I don't think they should be here. This isn't their country...they need to pack up & go back where they came from."

Trump never had a strategy for his war on Iran. He went from "4 weeks" to "the war is won" to "after the midterms." Working families are drowning under the economic strain while he escalates—sending 10,000 more Americans into harm's way.
Trump says Iran war will end ‘immediately’ after midterms
The president accused Iran of escalating the conflict to hurt Republicans in November, as soaring energy prices threaten to deepen voters’ economic concerns.
