One hundred percent.

That’s why we know with certainty they are covering it up.

When these files are finally released, pedophile protecting Trump supporters will pretend it’s all fake.

“I saw this late one night at a very young age and it scared me big time. I found on this rewatch that even though it’s mostly a hilariously bad movie, some of the images still creep me a little.”

A ★★★½ review of Without Warning (1980)

Some people in a small town come to realize that whatever is picking them off in the woods is not human. An alien is preying on them like game, using organic starfish-looking shurikens that he throws ...

Imagine being okay with your party covering up for rich billionaire pedophiles because of your intense love of a former game show host with a painted orange face? The insanity here is mystifying.
