I rather enjoy Kindle Unlimited... it lets me read books and not feel bad for getting a book, and dropping them after a chapter and say "Nope, not for me."

(and the author does get a little crumb of money still)

I'm just having a hard time finding a book that I enjoy reading...

I can't find ANY coverage of it. ground.news doesn't even have articles from ANYWHERE talking about it. They've just completely normalized this absolutely unpresidential thing.

Yeah, had it been ANY Democrat? It would have been top of the hour on EVERY news channel.

If Joe Biden had used AI to generate a scatological video making fun of Republican voters & activists you would be describing every single lurid detail, @usatoday.com

The way I figured that it works. If A User gets your novel when it was ON, and reads, but their kindle loses connectivity (I keep mine off wireless/airplane quite often) for a chunk of time, and then later reconnects, you'd get the credit, even if the book is no longer on...

I believe Johnson doesn't want the Epstein Files released because he isn't in there and he would have to admit he's never been powerful enough or rich enough to get invited.

They're all weak cowardly pedophiles, that's why they joined the GOP.

I doubt that the Conservative Justices have even noticed their salary. They were bought and paid for, their seats paid for. No, it'll be their clerks and everyman workers who will suffer first.

Roberts and Clarence are going to continue to sell judgements to the highest bidder.

Turns out? He just had a fall.

Important Advice: Live a life where your name trending doesn't trigger hope of your death.

Screen capped of Mitch trending. I don't want to add to the hope that he's dead, that horrible soulless fuck is a key part of why the united states has fallen into the hands of Fascist assholes.

I mean, seriously, not to joke at his fall, especially at his age, but that cuntburger should have retired back when the years still started with "19"

Trump came out and said "Smart people don't like me"

That was one hell of an underhanded stab at his base, and NONE of them saw it, or will ever see it.

Also... She missed out on her usual dagger stabs into "Antifa", "Woke" and "Trans" as well. I'm surprised she didn't just say "The DemonRat Party" to whistle to the GOP's base.

Where to begin?

She's not wearing her normally visible crucifix because she's found out that speaking so many blatant lies in one minute causes it to burn her skin.

Next? Do they REALLY think their base is so dumb that they believe this? What does that say about how they think of their base?

He's going to gavel them in, swear her in, and then immediately gavel congress back out before anyone can say anything.

This starched suit absolutely will do everything he can to protect his pedophile owners. He's the Mitch of the House.

I've got $100 that says it comes out he's a CSAM Enjoyer.

This is BAD... but it is setting up precedents to make thing FAR worse. The Supreme Court has been purchased by the real power being the GOP.

Their plan is simple. Undo the Voting Rights Act from 1965.

Which means A: Black voters are going to have bascially NO voting power in any Red State. B: Prescident set up in Brett's opinion will be used to get rid of EVERY Equal Rights Ruling... EVER. C: Not white? Bend over and grab your ankles.

Question reporters should be asking speaker Johnson "Now that you've ceded the last bit of Congressional authority to Trump, what do you plan to do in retirement after Trump disbands Congress?"

Follow up "Do you plan to be as ineffective in that as you were as speaker of the house?"

(Thoughtcrime was the only thing I could think of. It was calling for violence against people it was extreme racism against basically any not-white group, it was calling for death to anyone who WASN'T THEM...)

So from what I saw, the "Young Republicans" Telegram chat that leaked, wasn't just a handful of extremely racist slurs and horrible thoughtcrimes.

it was 2900 PAGES OF THEM.

Not a few dozen that we saw. Not a few HUNDRED you'd think just happened one night.

2900 PAGES of horrific language.
