If SCREEN were to pass, you'd be required to scan your face and upload an ID to access this site because it allows "harmful" material. This affects you even if you don't care about sex work or porn.

I hate it when a tv show gets the details wrong. S3:E8 of Travelers, the paramedic serial killer gets overwritten just before dying then vomits up a victim’s eyeball. Like the historical record wouldn’t have had the autopsy report of his stomach contents which would ID him as that serial killer?

One more interesting point: this spring I sat down with Sharyn Alfonsi of 60 Minutes for an extensive interview about my Epstein investigation. Subsequently, CBS pulled the segment and fired the reporter. The MAGA buyout of media has unquestionably aided the Trump administration’s cover up here.

This report shows exactly how Wall Street protected Epstein and enabled his sex trafficking for decades. Mega thread following with some key points:

in constitutional terms i think this kind of has to be right. this isn't a ceo transition where they negotiate the hand off. pulte is a temporary whose only authority rests on the job being vacant which it ceased to be with Clayton's confirmation.

I once said Vance would take over as POTUS early in the 2nd year of this term, and this looks very much like a split in the MAGA liar influencers to start the process for making that happen. But, I’m no longer confident Rs will do it. They’ve been so permissive I don’t know how they change that.
