yeah I have total sympathy with people pirating essential medical knowledge or scientific data, but the attitude of people who act like they are entitled to like entertainment media regardless of the wishes of the people who create it? no? you won't die without video games. get a grip.

Glad the Democratic tent was not big enough for Cuomo, who has embraced gutter racism and xenophobia in his quest for power.

Cuomo suggests Mamdani would cheer a future terror attack

The ex-governor made his comments about the Muslim front-runner as he seeks Republican support.

NBC News finds that:

Yes I spent the six weeks screaming abuse at people who don't support Platner as being pathetic stooges of Chuck Schumer and the Democratic party establishment but that one Obama screenwriter turned thirsty podcaster defended him so that proves the shitlibs are and have always been his supporters.
