MAGAs: The left is escalating the rhetoric by calling us Nazis

Also MAGAs: Look at our new podium, featuring a Nazi slogan about the time Nazis wiped out an entire village in Czechoslovakia and killed up to 5000 innocent people in retaliation for one Nazi being killed.

"One of ours, all of yours."

Every frame of Boorman and the Devil drips with David Kittredge’s deep love for film and more specifically The Exorcist II: Heretic. It’s a doc made of blood sweat and tears and a must-see for anyone who’s ever been obsessed with a film - and all lovers of film.

President Trump “should pay a political price for his brazen corruption,” the editorial board writes. Instead, by reportedly demanding that the Justice Department hand him $230 million, “he is telling American taxpayers to pay a price, directly to him.”

My favorite movie is Jawbreaker because it showed me that cis women can transition too. Mousy introverted closeted Fern becomes glamorous mean girl Vylette.

"The Fly" is one of those movies, like "Jawbreaker," that is such a clear trans allegory that I'm kinda baffled that there's other readings.

He killed Liz. He killed the teen dream. Deal with it. 😜

Well… he sorta did, cause he wrote and directed the 1999 dark comedy that’s developed quite a cult following — JAWBREAKER. 🍬
