I particularly enjoy the fact that Rocky Horror Picture Show is Disney canon now

20th Century Fox distributed the film, and then Disney acquired them. I think that there is an argument to make Frank N. Furter a Disney Princess

Here's a fun idea: presidential immunity goes away.

"Ann! Then when presidents do crime, they can be prosecuted!"

Uh, yes. Ideally so. That's the goal.

"But what if a liberal president does crime?!"

Then they get prosecuted.

Build a fucking president's jail. Use the ballroom money.

And this right here, as everyone with functioning brain power warned, is why online age verification DOES NOT work. There is no way to implement it without putting anyone who uses it at risk.

Again: just amp up Parental Controls and start holding parents responsible for their kids' online access.
