Go team guillotine.
Criminal proceedings and punishment are 100% necessary or they will emerge again. Once they realize their actions aren't consequence free, and their heads aren't hard to separate from their bodies, will they understand that we're not dealing with this bullshit any longer.

He absolutely should step aside. Anyone with ties to a criminal pedophile ring should not have anything to do with humans.

also, to reinforce my point from earlier, I published The Drowned Heir in 2022, and I am delighted that it is continuing to find new readers.
That's the whole POINT with books; they'll be there.

Any political party spreading lies about voter fraud as a pretext to make it harder for every one to vote is sending a clear message: they can't win on their ideas alone.

Looking forward to watching the full clip later today.
Make sure everyone sees this then. The FCC apparently changed its “equal time” rule on talk shows to make it hard for Colbert or The View to air interviews with candidates like Talarico. Video link in comments.

I don’t think that the financially well-off can understand how we’ve built lives outside of money.
Their lives revolve around it. Ours *cannot* when we’re paycheck to paycheck. So we build community, support systems.
Their pathological greed blinds them, makes them scared and weak.
