A nuclear-armed U.S. under full totalitarian control is an existential threat to billions of people. To life on this planet.
It's up to us, U.S. citizens living here in the imperial core, to stop it. Nobody is coming to save us. Not the U.N., not the ICJ. It's us or it's nobody.

It’s bullshit, I knew that going in.
But this is highly offensive.
It’s not about shaming someone being horny. It’s about the choice by the director. this is disturbing.
